of California. More than half of them are
boys IN their teens or young men in their
early twenties. They come mostly Of good
families. Many are of the proud Samurai
caste. With little money, or none at all,
they have come to the United States to get
an education.
When japanese boy of this class lands
IN the United States. he goes to one of the
lnnumerable japanese employment agen-
cies. Usually he doesn't know a word of
the language. His cOuntrymen coach him
In the few words necessary to understand
domestic order. Then they get him q
job for low price as second boy" or
man of all work, often a a price as low as
30 month with board and room and the
privilege OF school time to himself
Green as he is, he learns fast. In a
week he can wash dishes, prepare vegeta-
bles. sweep, dust, and make beds. After
that lie goes TO public school, is admitted
to one of the lower grades, and begins Il
regime which makes the life Of q Scot cl
student seem like leisure by comparison
He is up with the dawn, studying, until il
is time to get breakfast and serve it. He
PUSHES through the dishes and is at his
desk by o'clock. In the primary school
recess of an hour and a half he is back
serving luncheon. or. if that meal is omit
ted at his house, doing odd chores. After
school he races through his homework
serves dinner. washes the dishes, and is
back at his books again. And lie keeps
that pace up year in and year out. 1t
would kill a Caucasian.
All this is great blessing to the house
keeper Of limited means. A family which
couldn't afford a white servant hires a Jap
boy for Sc a month and his board. The
wife does the cooking and the lighter
homework. The Jap does all the rest.
There's only one trouble with the arrange
ment. He is learning all the time, and

Military Discipline Carried Too Far.
washington Pos

As an illustration of carrying military
discipline too far this story is told by Gen.
y. A. Miles: There was a certain Colonel
who. in the middle of campaign. was
seized with Il sudden ardor about hygiene.
He ordered that all the men change their
shirts II once.
This order was duly carried out except
in the case of one company where the pri-
Yates wardrobes had been pitiably de-
pleted. The Captain Of this company was
informed that none Of his men could
change their shirts. since they had only
one apiece. The Colonel hesitated a mo-
ment. and said firmly:
"'Orders must he obeyed. Let the men
change shirts with each other"

New York Sum-

The problem of the Japanese schoolboy
is engaging the attention of the labor
unions. which must have something to agi-
tate about or they would be forced out of
business. Since the doors of this country
were bolted against any more Chinese the
unions have had to abandon the Chinese
cheap labor cry. The Chinese now in Cal
ifornia are nightly useful. Every one
knows that, and any agitation against
them would make trouble with the people
who think and who have to be propitiated
now that the labor leaders are up to their
eyes in politics. But there may be a
chance against the japanese.
There are perhaps 10000 japanese in
and about San Francisco, and several
thousand more scattered through the State

Low.
Refugees who have arrived at Chez foo
from Port Arthur confirm previous re-
ports that a general assault has been be-
gun by the japanese on that fortress, and
they declare that the Russians are sanguine
that the Japanese could not succeed in
capturing the place, even though they had
twice as many troops.
The Russians, according to the refugees
story, are still hoping for succor from
Gen. Kuropatkin. They are unwilling to
believe the reports of his defeat at Tatche-
kiao. The refugees further confirm the
reports that the Russian feet is in a
state of repair, but say that the feet is
unwilling to attack that of Admiral Togo
on account of the mines which the Jap
anese place nightly at the entrance of the
harbor.

ON THE TRUST QUESTION.

Let us see what the Republicans have to
say for themselves in connection with the
great trust question. This is the language OF
the platform:
Laws enacted by the Republican party and
which the Democratic party failed to enforce
have been fearlessly enforced
Here are three statements-First. That the
Republicans. instead of both parties enacted
the laws which is not true; second that the
Democratic party had done nothing; and, third
that the Republican party has enforced the
law, which is only partially true
Now. the fact Is that. although the Demo-
Gratis only had a four-year opportunity and
although the trust evil neither very acute
nor very prevalent at that time. Attorney
General Harmon under the Cleveland adminis-
tration filed the suit for the Government
agaist the Trans Missouri Freight Association.
