And still the people of Japan do not
appear to be reconciled to the
terms Of the peace treaty. Neverthe-
less, it was fortunate for them. that
the Mikado ana his advisors were
strong enough to appreciate the fact
that the prolongation of the contest
with Russia. while it probably would
have brought additional Iriumphs TO
the ia panese forces. would at the same
time have piled up q national debt, 50
large in proportion to the national re-
sources that it would have been a
burden upon the nation for generations
to come. Japan secured everything she
a-k,d for before tn" beginning OF hos
tilities and vastly more. In view OF
this fact it would seem as if her people
should be satisfied.

Stock Law Does Not Apply.

AT the last session of the Legislature
Washington county's REPRESENTATIVE
introduced bill to create stock law
for counties having a population of
not less than 90, 75O and not more than
%, 761, subject to vote of the people.
1t was presumed that it was meant to
apply to this county. but in fact it
does not apply to a county in the
state. The population of Washington
county is 29,6O4. The election com
missioners are arranging to hold the
election provided for in the bill on
Aug. 9Th but it will probably not be
held as the population figures render
the law void so far as this county is
concerned.
