what has become an irritating question,
menacing the friendly relations between
the United States and China.
Meanwhile the secretary Of state and
the Chinese minister will proceed with
the negotiation of treaty, which per-
haps will be ready for submission to
the senate early in the coming session.
It is understood that the Chinese govern
ment will ask some important conces-
sions, so that the framing of a treaty
may be somewhat difficult. In any event
one that would be entirely satisfactory
to the Chinese government would be
very sure to meet with vigorous opposi-
ton from those in this country who are
insistent that the present exclusion
policy must be fully maintained, II not
indeed made more rigid. The Chinese
question promises to become more irri-
tating and troublesome before a settle
ment is reached.

PREPARING FOR DEVELOPMENT.

The policy proposed by the CONNER
cial bodies of Japan for promoting in
dustrial and commercial development is
wise and comprehensive and If adopted
by the government, as probably it will
be, could not fail to have most benefl-
cial results. One of the things recon-
mended is the creation of government
commercial agencies These would be,
under judicious management, a great as
sistance to the commercial interests of
the country. Another suggestion is the
establishment of floating exhibitions of
samples and museums in foreign ports.
This might be a rather expensive
method of advertising Japan's products,
but very likely the results would justify
the expense. The Improvement Of exist
ings railroads and the rapid construc-
ton of new railroads is urged and un-
doubtedly the government will not hest
tate to act upon this suggestion, 1t is
to be expected that an era OF railway
construction in Japan will be entered up
on at once and that this most essential
requirement for the development of the
country will be carried forward with the
greatest possible energy. For this pur-
pose the government will have no DIFF
ficulty in obtaining whatever money 1t
may need.
Japan is going to enter into very ac-
tive competition with the rest OF the
world, not only for Asiatic trade, but for
business everywhere, and it is safe to
say that she will secure her share. AL
ready there is being suggested a union
of European countries to protect them
selves against a possible japanese in
vasion and a movement OF this kind may
be made. At any rate It is well under
stood that Japan is going to be in the
race for trade, with the probability that
she will keep pretty close to the swift

The real objection is founded on the GER

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
The Newspaper is Gaining over Cir
cuIars and Leaflets.

New York Sun.
1t is growing tendency OF the candidate
for public office, or the reformer with an
issue to exploit, to seek the columns OF
the daily newspapers and present his claims
to consideration or marshal his arguments
in his own way in the type that suits him,
confident of the readers interest in a we'll
displayed advertisement. In the southern
states where victory at the primaries is
equivalent to election, the practice is an
old. old story. 1t is the only sure way
to bring the candidate and the voters to-
gether. No man hides his light under
bushel. He rakes his opponents record
fore and aft, and points with pride TO his
own. He advertises as he talks on the
stump, Knowing that a 100 will read where
one will hear. In Baltimore during a cam
paign the front pages OF the newspapers
are covered with party, committee and in
dividual appeals to the voter-all at space
rates, the columns being thrown open TO
both sides. Governor William L. Douglas
of Massachusetts was the first northern
man, we believe, to realize the value Of
the cuts. When he published the autobi-
ography of a laborious life in the news
papers from Cape Cod to state line he
shocked the back bay-but he was elected
governor Al the present time the Massa-
chussetts committee of 100 on reciprocal
trade is advertising its propaganda In half
pages with challenging stare heads that
send a chill down the vertebrae of the
stand-patters. Everett Colby in his fight
against the Essex oligarchy, which he
won so handsomely awaited himself of
the advertising columns of the Newark
IN. j. papers to supplement his appeals
from the tails of carts and halls which were
not rented until the primary day by the
said unafraid and unshamed oligarchy.
The success of this method must depend
upon the insight and originality of the
| literary bureau" of the cause OF can
didate. In the presidential campaign some
| Of the most cogent arguments of the re-
publican party were presented I'm the ad-

The official declaration by the board
Of Ak-Sar Ben governors with reference

In receipts of cattle, Omaha is cred
tied with 944. 1872 head, making 100 per
cent of the total for Chicago, Kansas
City, st. Louis, Omaha, st. Joseph and
Sioux City, and giving Omaha the rank
of fourth.
In receipts of hogs, Omaha is credited
with 2,999,627, making 1879 per cent of
the total, and placing it in second rank.
In receipts Of sheep, Omaha is cred
tied with 1,754,S65, or 20 per cent of
the total, giving it second rank.
In receipts of horses, Omaha is cred
tied with 46S45 making 14.5 per cent
of the total and giving it third place ON
the list.
In number of cars received, Omaha
is credited with 81 ,O35, being 1919 per
cent of the total, and giving it third
place, surpassed only by Chicago and
Kansas City.
In the slaughter of cattle, Omaha is
credited with 642,277 head, being 12.4
per cent of the total, and giving it
fourth place.
In the slaughter of hogs, Omaha is
credited with 2,OS7, sos, being 1915 per
cent of the total, and putting 1t in sec
ond place, outranked only by Chicago.
In the slaughter of sheep, Omaha is
credited with 1856, 421 head, making ISL
| per cent of the total, and putting it
second only to Chicago.
In the slaughter of animals through
the whole list with the exception of
Sheep the percentage of slaughtered in
Omaha is greater than its percentage of
receipts, indicating that this is pri-
mary market for live stock to a greater
degree than any of the competing mar
