An Almost Unknown Japanese City

Japan and the japanese achievements
are all 50 astonishing to US. simply be-
cause we have in our superior Anglo
Saxon way hardly considered them worth
hooking into until they had won this sue
upon that lowest of human planes
e endeavor, brute fighting. Who of US
for instance, who knew of Japan only in
a general way. had any adequate notion
of the city Of Osaka? We may have heard
the name as We have heard of Toxic and
Kioto Osaka we should have imagined
to be a picturesque hamlet of bamboo
huts, something such as We see depicted
upon porcelain plates and bowls. The
fact is, as the Listener has happened to
ind out in glancing through the i'm
mensely interesting correspondence from
the Catholic missionaries published in
the annals of the Propagation of the
Faith it is a big city. 1t is historic
in the highest sense. too, with a long
past. 1t is built in the classic land, the
Attica of Japan. at the eastern eXtrem-
ity Of the inland sea of Japan. and is a
city which occupies an extent of ter
ritory measuring % miles square. 1t con-
tains within its borders already a million
inhabitants and has an annual increase
of seventy thousand.
As it stands on both sides Of the river
Nodogawa, il has as many canals as
Venice, but owing to the lack of the mar
BILE palaces of the Italian Bride of the
Sea it is said to have more resemblance
10 lie cities OF Holland. But what
seems the strangest to hear of from ro-
mantle and picturesque Japan is that
ii is a great manufacturing centre. The
banks of the river and of the canal
streets are buttressed with stone piers
and spanned by an incredible number Of
iron bridges many of them not at all
inferior to the best ones of our American
cities. We are prepared to hear that the
streets are always crowded with a busy
throng, and that the stores are very
numerous and line both sides of many
streets in an uninterrupted succession;
but what strikes us as the oldest in this
land of the Samurai and dainty art of
temples and pagodas, is that on looking
over the city from an elevated point one
sees, rising from the immense field of
low-lying roofs, forest of tall chimneyss
belonging to modern factories. These
and cotton mills have multiplied in an
extraordinary manner during the past
ten years. Cotton spinning is the prin-
cipal industry of Osaka. The city is also
celebrated for the manufacture of mus
lin, paper, musical instruments and ar
ucles in brass. 1t has, besides an ar
senal in which cannon and all the in
struments of war are made. There is a
belt line of railroads to connect the ex-
tremities of thee ity, and as there are
several terminals of great railroads CEN
tering at Osaka, there are no less than
II railroad stations in different parts of
the city, Boston Transcript.

A Vermont Granger.


The Vermont Republicans have nom
mated a candidate for governor who is
a farm born. farm-nurtured, farm-tllling
granger. This seems mucn more appro-
pirate to the state than the nomination
of railroad men, corporation lawyers and
capitalists, such as they usually select
to head their ticket. Mr. Bell must be
regarded as man Of ability, or he would
not have been able to make farming suf-
hcienty profitable to induce him to con-
tinue in the business. We do not under
stand that he is a farmer simply because
it is a luxury to spend on land money
that did not come out OF the land in the
first place. and never could be recovered
from it. 1t is a safe prediction that he
will be elected. and his fellow grangers
Will be proud of him and Of themselves.
The Republican candidate for governor
Of Vermont earned his first penny by
building the fire in the little red school
house. after milking ten cows and walk
ing a mile and a half to school. So we
guess he'll be elected
