Religion of the Japanese.


Since the promulgation of the new
constitution in 1889 the Japanese have
had no state religion. By the new con-
stitution absolute freedom of speech
and Of religion was guaranteed. Pre-
vious to that rime Buddhism was the
state religion. although Shintoism
largely predominated. The Shintos
have 191. .962 temples and shrines. and
and although it has no priests, no doc
triual system, and no moral code, it has
nearly fourteen thousand gods, before
whom, or some of whom. certain offer
ings are made from time to time, to
whom on certain occasions prayers are
addressed and before whom certain GER
emonial dances are performed. Shinto
seems to be sort of homeopathic re-
ligion-If 1t don't do any good it won't
do you any harm. 1t neither makes its
adherents better nor worse. 1t does
not aim to improve the moral nature,
but is merely form of ancestor wor-
ship which perhaps amuses as well as
iiatters the vanity of the Japanese.
Buddhism. with its gorgeous temples
and gilded images, was introduced into
Japan in the seventh century and has
now maLy adherents, there being II, ,977
Buddhist temples and monasteries and
A,6S5 priests.
Christianity comes third in numer-
ical strength. there being, in 1900, A.
272 Protestants, $4,000 Roman Catho-
lies and %. .693 Greek Catholics.
Among the upper classes agnosticism
prevails Buddhism requires little
more Of Its adherents than the Shinto
religion. 1t teaches that salvation may
be obtained merely by faith in the mer-
~ Of Amida, and no change Of heart or
conduct is required. All that is neces-
sary is to love one another, keeping or
derly and observing the laws of the
county.

Conditions in New York.

Much of the political interest Of the
day is centering in the state of New
York.
At their State convention at Saratoga
last week the Republicans nominated
the present Lieutenant Governor, Frank
w. Higgins. for the head of the ticket
This was accomplished through the in
fiuence of Governor Odell. who was op-
posed by Senator Platt. Ode]l refused
to take Woodward, who had the sup
port of Platt. 1t was contest In which
OdeIl was forced to show that he was in
command of the organization, and as
result the Senator is deposed from the
supreme command which he has so long
exercised. The candidate is a man of
sterling worth and Of independent ludg
ment, and he will grow in the estlma-
ton of the people as he becomes better
known to them, but there is nothing so
incalculable in our politics as the size of
the independent vote in New York, and
it is liable to go one way or anotner
with tremendous results. This fact
stands out plainly in past election re-
turns. In 1888 Harrison carried the
state by plurality of A. 373. but at the
same election Hill was elected governor
by the Democratic party by plurality
of 1911. In 1892 Cleveland carried
the state by plurality of 45,51S, and
two years later Hill. the Democratic
candidate for governor, was swamIed
by an adverse plurality of 156, 600. In
1896 Mckinley carried the state by a
plurality of 263, ,479, and two years later
Roosevelt as candidate for governor got
little more than 1900 plurality. Tive
years later, in the presidential election
the Republican plurality bounded up to
143, 606, yet in 1902, Odell's plurality as
the Republican candidate for governor
was only S.S14.
In state whose poll is liable to such
violent fluctuations, political prophecy
has peculiarly difficult task. As re-
CARDS the present situation. it is plain
that that state campaign and the presi-
Dental campaign are in very different
situation. Dissatisfaction exists as re-
CARDS Republican state administration
which has nothing TO do with national
affairs, and it is conceivable that the con-
verse might be true. One factof great sig
nificance is that the$101, 900, 000canal i'm
provement plan with which the Repub-
lican state administration is identified
was not favored by large section of
the Republican voters. Forty-three
counties which gave total plurality OF
los, ,279 for Governor Odell in 1902. a
year later gave majority of 205,39
against Governor Odells canal improve
ment plan. The state and national
campaigns are running upon such diff
ferrent lines that it would be quite pos
sible for the state to vote one way in
the state election and the other way in
the presidential election. as in 1888.
At Saratoga, yesterday, after long
wrangle the Democrats agreed upon
Herrick for Governor and Harrison for
Secretary of State.

FINANCIALLY our reciprocity treaty
with Cuba has not been good invest
ment for US. The balance of trade
against the United States taking into
account only our purchases of Cuban
sugar. has been $27, 673. 694 in the past
six months Add to this the loss of rev.
enue occasioned by the 20 per cent re-
duction allowed the Cubans, which
would be So, 720, 600, and we have a to-
tai loss of $34, 393, 694 as result of re-
ciprocity with Caba. This ought to
teach us not to be too fast about making
reciprocity agreements We are just
as likely to get the worst of the deal as
not. Evidently we made bad bargain
with Cuba, but we wanted to see the
young Republic get on its feet, and
hence were more generous than we
would otherwise have been.
