at Pekin strengthened Japanese infiu-
ence, and although the MikadO was
obliged to side with the Western
nations at the time of the Boxer dis
turbances, Japan's attitude was so
temperate and the conduct of her
troops so exemplary that she lost lit
tie of her hold on China during that
episode Through the preliminaries
that led up to the RussO-Japanese
war. Japan's consideration for Chi
nese interests was prominent. Con-
sequently, the return to China of her
lost territory would fit in exactly
with the japanese campaign for in
fiuence.
That China is q country of immense
potentiality every student of affairs
freely grants. She has been asleep for
centuries. but the stir of uneasiness
which precedes the awakening is even
now perceptible. When she is aroused
her influence on the world CONNER
cially and otherwise cannot fail to be
vast
Then the wisdom of Japan's course
will be manifested in full At pres
ent the island kingdom seems to be
playing the game of England and
America fully as much as her own,
and England and America appear to
be entirely complacent that she
should play it. This cOmplacency
may or may not be 4 mistake. Japan
fo= the Japanese is sound Japanese
doctrine, as England and America
may some day learn if they do not
safeguard their Chinese interests even
as Japan IS safeguarding hers.

WHEN TWILIGHT COMES.

When twilight hour comes softly steal
ing. darling;
Comes creeping like a ghost from out
the West;
Do you hear phantom voice appealing,
darling?
DO you feel within your heart a vague
unrest?
Does that dear heart. like mine, GER
flow with yearning?
Does the sprite Of doubt e'er fit before
your eyes?
Look, then. dear heart, where heavens
lamps are burning
And read my tender message in the
skies.
When drowsy birds, beloved, have sung
their vespers,
And love-lOrn crickets plant their
serenades;
When gossip zephyrs tell in elfn whis-
pers
That day is done, as soft the twilight
fades,
Then lift your duslzy eyes and still the
signing.
My soul Graves to be only where you
are,
And my love. dear, is as faithful and
undying
AS beams the light in every twinkling
star.

Regarding the Kaiser.
Some Subjects Evidently "view With
Alarm"

Some Subjects Evidently "View With
Alarm"
A significant sidelight, lifting the
curtain that usually conceals the real
feelings Of the solid men of Ger
many, and showing what they actual
~ think of their Emperor, is afford
ed by the remarks of Prof. Hasse be-
fore the Pan-German congress at Luz
beck.
They followed some rather pointed
criticisms of Emperor William and
his system Of personal government,
which served to indicate that while
the loyal German is thoroughly loyal
to the Kaiser, he is by no means
blind 10 some of the Kaiser's faults.
According TO Prof. Hasse, the best
elements OF the people earnestly wish
that the Emperor would choose ad-
visers who have the courage 10 ask
him to spend at least half the year
at the capital, so that they might
daily confer personally with him
without the Intervention or courieTs,
and who would have the courage to
resign when their advice was disre-
garded.
Translated into blunt language,
this would seem to mean that William
is carrying things with rather too
high a hand to suit the phlegmatic
temperament Of some Of his subjects.
and they would like TO see solid and
conservative men of affairs in con-
troll, not only Of the situation, but of
the Emperor.
Regarding the Kaiser's ability as
an administrator. there can be no
question. He has well been termed
the business man among monarchs.

An Old Sto-y of the Harrison Campaign
Comes to Light.

An Old Sto-y Of the Harrison Campaign
Comes to Light.
The main fault found with Cortel-
you as manager Of the Republican
campaign is, briefly, that he is neither
q rich man nor 4 machine man.
There is a sort of tradition that the
chairman of the Republican Nation
al Committee ought to be not only a
man familiar with every twist and
turn of the machine" but one who,
g rich man himself, can get in touch
with other rich men, and, if neces-
sary, dive into his own pocket for
funds to start the subscription list.
Mr. Cortelyou will be the first to oc-
cupy this position without the quail
f1cation either of a long purse or ex-
perience in running a machine.
This, 70 some of the members of
the Presidents party, seems a crime
against tradition. Old politicians are
as sensitive about traditions as the
pupils of a boys school The fact
that a thing always has been done IS
proof enough to them that it ought
always to be done, Notwithstanding
the fact that many Of them made

The President makes no secret of
the fact that Mr.. Cortelyou is his own
choice, although he says that he
would have been willing to accept
somebody else if somebody else had
been urged for the position. There
is little doubt, however, that he pre-
fers TO win his election. if he is to win
it, rather by the vote of the people
than by the Vaccinations Of success

tie story about Senator Quay.
AFTER Harrison became President,
It is said, the Pennsylvania leader
came to him with some plan which
did not meet the Presidents approx
al Wroth at meeting with refusal.
Quay Indignantly asked,
Who made you President?'
Thereupon Mr.. Harrison is said to
have retorted that it was not Quay,
but God, who was responsible for that
event Possibly Mr.. Roosevelt does
not want some high dignitary of the
Republican party to come around for
favors at this time next year, and on
failing to get the favors, inquire with
umbrage:
who made you President, l should
like to know?"
