The Boston Transcript gives its
readers some interesting information
regarding the condition OF the Maine
Democracy. 1t says that they are de-
spondent and divided and are not like
ly to be united when the election
comes. OF course, this is something
known to everybody. but it achieves 4
scoop when 1t says that Mayor" Gould
of Skowhegan will be the Democratic
nominee. Skowhesan has seve; al tire;

1t is suggested that when the large
American fleet, now at Tangier,
straightens out the little complication
which called it to Moorish waters, it
proceed to Constantinople as re-
minder to the Sultan of Turkey that
Uncle Sam wants a little more prompt
recognition of his just demands.
Turkey is not only exasperatingly slow
in paying the indemnity due American
citizens. but 1t has also been showing
its i'll will of late by its Determinations
against American missionaries and
American institutions of learning
which have been erected upon its soil.
Moreover, the Sultan has declined the
requests; Of both President Mckinley
and President Roosevelt to appoint an
ambassador to Washington, which
would permit the elevation Of the
American representative at Constanti-
nople to, the same rank as the repre-
sentatives of the European govern
ments. Possibly the presence of such
fleet as is now in the Mediterranean
will give him a little more respect for
the government at Washington and in
crease his readiness to. act fairly to-
wards this country. The hbsence, Of
any such visible power seems to make
him Indifferent and careless.

The Ace Of Japan.

| A current magazine contains an
| article written by a japanese scholar
| educated I'm this country. who enters a
vigorous protest against the common
notion that Japan is a young country
among the nations of the world. He
holds that just because America intro
duced Japan to civilized society j
couple of generations ago, that does
Japan had been of little conse-
quence before that time. Until
then. to be sure. it had been much Of
a recluse among the nations being as
sisted by it's location in its inclination
to live quietly and peacefully apart
from the rest of the world, but this
writer claims that his country has a
continuous -~--.-,-.
tending back over a period of $500
wears making it older than any other
nation on the earth except China alone,
and with a dynasty which is centuries
older than that Of China.
The historians of Europe grant that
Japanese history extends back seven
or eight hundred years, but they treat
every thing before that time as wholly
mythical. but the Japanese historians
carry the story back some 1900 years
farther and fill the early history full OF
miraculaus incidents like that of Rome,
Germany, Frace, Spain and England.
The japanese historians are not so
careful to sift the truth out of fiction
as has been done in the case of the
others, however. fer they claim all
traditions as actual history and reject
little or nothing as mythical. In this
way they make the present emperor a
direct descendant Of the first monarch
Of Japan away back in the seventh
century Il. c. If the theory of this
japanese scholar Is accepted, then
Japan is older than Rome which has
been dead nearly Is centuries, and Is
nearly 10 centuries Oluel IMAM any
nation of Europe. Russia is a mere in
FAINT beside it, and the German and
Italian empires are not yet out of their
swaddling clothes.
The worlds history has no example
of national continuity like that of
Japan. 1t Is doubtless true, as con-
coded by the Japanese themselves. that
the Chinese civilization is older, but
China has suffered from successive
foreign conquests, while it's insular
position has always protected Japan.
While the Chinese have lost their
vitality as a nation, Japan seems to
have been storing up national vigor
through it's long centuries of seclus.on,
and what it will do now that it is
aroused and realizes it's power among
nations is a problem over which states
men and soldiers throughout the world
are puzzled.

Danger in Quality Not Quantity Of Inn
miqration.


Somebody who refuses to see any
menace in the great and constant tide
Of Immigration has been ge..i.,., to-
gcther some government statistics to
show the vast possibilities CT this
country, as far as area goes. in the
matter of accommodating several times
its present population. Taking the
whole continental territory exclusive of
Alaska the density of population is not
half as great as that of the Philippine
Islands. If room is what we want we
have it here, and though there are
large strips of mountain and desert
which are never likely to develop much
sustaining power for life. but a frac-
ton of the lands capacity has been
tried as yet.
China affords pretty fair case for
the United States than any other part
of the earth in the extent and variety
Of its resources and in its physical
diversities 1t is scanned with great
mountain ranges, it has deserts and
waste places, like this country, but.
like this country also, it is blessed with
rich valleys Of great size and a very
wide range Of products. China has,
however, only 1852. 42O square miles. as
against our 3.O25. 500, and yet upon that
area she supports 407 $4,000 people.
At this ratio the United States should
be able to support S03,OO0,oOO, or about
ten times the present population.
1t is true that China's millions are
rot supported in affluence, but though
the population is exceedingly industri-
Gus the country's productivity could be
largely increased by the introduction
Of modern industrial methods and
free use of capital, while it is to be
noted that the density of the popula-
ton is nowhere near the figure that
has been reached in some countries.
The number Of people to the square
mile is reckoned as follows for the
same countries which lead in density:
Belgium, $3.50; Netherlands, 1851 !:
United Kingdom. s45.73; Japan. S1O.6o:
Italy, 2s3.50; German Empire. 2sO.3s;
China, 2S5.7S. For the United States
the figures are only 1856. With a
density like Belgium's we could take
in the whole world.
But this country does not want to
take in the whole world. and it does not
want to become a second Belgium or a
second China. 1t is the quality and not
the quantity of our immigration which
makes the menace. If this country
were receiving only immigrants Of the
right kind,-healthy, Industrious, In
telligent, and law-abiding classes
there would be nothing to worry about
| in the present tide Of immigration
which is reaching a million persons
yearly. But in spite of our vast area
there is no room here for the scum ant
