The Japanese in Formosa.

FROM lHe l-oluOH >IttldtoI.
The account of Japanese administration
In Formosa published in the Times is
probably little too favorable, but it is
worth study, for the Japanese will, If
they are victorious, unquestionably try
to colonize new dependencies. According
to this account they have done wonders.
After a year or two of extreme difficulty
they have succeeded in tanning the pc
culiarly savage tribes of the island, which
was kind of Alsatia for Chinese bandits
and Malay pirates, and have thus re-
lieved the peaceful section of the people OF
all eternal terrors.
They have built 1GD0 miles of road and
125 miles of light railway: have sunk an
immense number of artesian wells-S00
in one district alone-have established q
complete postal service, which includes a
system of savings banks. already popular
with the people. and have set themselves
to teach methods of agriculture forestry
and mining, all of which have succeeded.
The production of camphor, for instance.
has more than doubled, and that of cam
phor oil increased fourfold: while the
gold, silver and coal mines have been
scientifically worked. so that the output
of the first named metal has increased
Sevenfold
The general revenue has been enlarged
from f275,000 to f1,21o0 900. and the local
rates from fI4.o00 to f195.00o. Great at
tention is paid to sanitary improvements;
hospitals have been set up everywhere,
and 300 Japanese doctors are now prac-
ticing in the island; while the use of
opium is discouraged, both by taxation
and strict police supervision, the idea be-
ing to prevent the addition of any new
victims to the habit. Finally, the Jap
anese educational system has been intro
duced, and $4,000 natives are being regu-
larly instructed. The consequence of all
this increased work and of the absence
of disorder has been an increase of the
population to 30S2.000. partly, no doubt,
from considerable Chinese immigration
The japanese, in fact. are able, even
among savage populations. to introduce
pax Japonica which allows of the ac-
cumulatinn of wealth
