RAPID RISE on JAPAN.

The progress of Japan during the
past fifty years. in which time it has
risen from a state of barbarism to one
OF civilization, eXciteS the admiration
Of the civilized world. From a state
of exclusiveness Japan has sprung in
half century to an advanced position
among the nations of the world. While
this rise has been exceedingly rapid
requiring practically revolution in
the affairs of it's people, this rise does
not appear so phenomenal in the sight
Of the historian. Viewed from this
same standpoint it does not particular
ly stamp the people of Japan as being
more capable of quick development
than those who were among the first to
be civilized.
1t is evident from historical stand
point that wherever civilization has
taken hold of people their progress
has been ripid, resulting in more rap
i'd strides as their civilization ad-
vanced. 1t is with pleasure that a peo-
pie compares their present state of adj
vancement with the conditions in
which they previously lived and the
short time utilized in bringing about
these changes. The race from which
we derive our language, customs and
laws is regarded as pre-eminently CIV
ilized, and yet the Historian Macaulay
who wrote only a short time ago de-
scribing England said: within the
memory of some whom this generation
) has seen. the sportsman who wandered
.. pursuit Of game to the sources of
the Tyne found the heaths round Keel
dar castle peopled by race scarcely
! less sSayage than the Indians of Cali
fornia, and heard with surprise the
hxif-naked women chanting wild
! measure while the men with brandish-
81 dirks danced a war dance"
1t Is probable that no visitor to ia
pan within the. last fifty years found
a worse state of affairs than that de-
scribed by Macaulay as existing. in
the heart of England in the eighteenth
century. England worked out her
own civilization. The United States
likewise, and its great advancement of
the past 1913 years has been the result
OF the efforts Of it's own people. They
have evolved their own civilization 1t
is undeniable that Japan has acquired
her civilization by imitation and the
question for future generations to de-
eide is which kind of civilization is
the more lasting.

TO PRESERVE NIAGARA.

Philadelphia Ledger.-There was in
troduced in the New York state legis-
lature a concurrent resolution memoir
congress to negotiate treaty
with the Dominion of Canada that
should prevent the destruction of the
beauty of Niagara Falls by the di-
vision of the water. The legislature
might appropriately have entitled the
resolution "An appeal to congress to
save US from ourselves" The rescue
is necessary and it is not uniting that
congress should be called upon to eff
feet it by the suggested treaty.

amount in a country in which the
wages of a skillful artisan are often
not more than yen week The ia
panese currency system is decimal.
Thus the yen, or dollar is divided into
100 sen or cents. the sen into 10 rim,
the rim into 10 mo, the mo into 10 shu,
and the shu, finally, into 10 kotsu.
Government accounts do not take ac-
count OF any value smaller than rim,
but estimates by private tradesmen Of
ten descend to mo and shu, which are
incredibly minute fractions of farth-
ing. No coin exists, however, to rep
resent these lilliputian sums.

THE VALUE OF THE JAPANESE

From the London Chronicle.-when
the public reads that 1OO,0OO,0o ven

pan for war purposes it may perhaps
put an exaggerated estimate on that
amount. Although Japan has a gold
standard, the yen is of silver currency.

THE LEGEND OF cHARoN's
FAVOR.
A legend that none need believe,
For legends often but deceive

L VI lcStluo olICll pul ueSClNC-
Such legends as the idle weave.
Ills told that one day Charon's craft
Was hailed by but a single soul;
That Charon long and loudly laughed
At such sore decrease in toll.
And that he cried: "Ho, you who wait,
You may go quickly back to earth
And bring to make my fill of freight,
All things that weresto you of worth"
The soul went back, with all delight,
First saying: II shall bring the best,
Shall choose the fairest to my sight
And leave the other ones the rest"
Then Charon sat and waited him,
And wondered what the soul would
bring.
He said, "if this were slave or king.
'I wonder will he bring a crown,
Or some poor, tinseled, tinkling
gauds;
Mayhap some laurel withered brown,
At which the gaping crowd applauds.
Or, he may bring heavy chest
OF gold, or jewels pure and fine.
In truth. an interesting test
Is this experiment of NINE"
With that the soul came into sight
And hailed him with a CHEEKY call;
With face still glowing from delight
He said: But look. found them
ALL
Now what have you?" old Charon
cried.
your treasure unsubstantial seems
mo so,'' the joyous soul replied,
found the best-I brought my
dreams!"
1t is legend old-so old
That he must needs be very bold
Who says that truth it may not hold.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

The Nevada representative says the
result In Rhode Island makes the old
line democrats shiver, "but," it points
out, Hearst is the only man in the
democratic party who is spending mon
ey in politics just now, or who really
knows what he is after, and the impor.
lance of this condition grows more
and more evident"
The Corning Union Republican would
deprecate the nomination of an unfit
man for the presidency by any party,
and therefore hopes the Hearst move
ment will fail. THE nomination Of
Hearst and the propaganda which
would be carried on his behalf" the
Union-Republican asserts, would be
the worst blow the country has re.
ceived since the rebellion"
The Dubuque Times says that in
Iowa the weather is an important fac.
tor in determining the time of adjourn
ment of the legislature. GAS the air
grows balmy," it observes, ''the sitting
committee gets busy and acquires
clear Judgment respecting the meas
ures that can safely be carried over
until the next general assembly con-
venes."
The republicans of Crawford county
endorsed the republican state plat
forms of 1902 and 1903, but the EN-
metsburg Reporter says it is unable to
go that far. I'VE are a sort of a George
Washington" the Reporter explains
we can lie, but won't do it by say
imp that fho ,,1o
to our liking. Harmony is mighty
nice thing, but truth will wear the
longer"
Vain indeed must be the man who
thinks he can impress his own person
atty and his own ideas upon SO great
a gathering as a national convention, u
says the Vinton Eagle.
The Cedar Rapids Republican saws
concerning the Funk withdrawal that
the newest Iowa idea was ".tried on the
dog in Polk and Dallas counties and
found wanting.
The Dubuque Times says that the
state convention is the proper place
to choose district delegates and that
the proper time for making the con-
gressional nomination is after the ma
tional convention and not before it.
The Clairinda Herald says the way
things are going it may turn out that
the governor will have to make a fight
to get place on the delegation"
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil saws
that Mr. Funks withdrawal must moi
be misunderstood, that it is not a Civ
ing way all along the line, but only a
retreat at one point, where to fight
further seemed hopeless. ''They are
still active in the districts" warns the
