THE FRUITS OF PEACE.
LAPAN TO TURN HER ATTENTION
TO ARTS And INDUSTRIES.

Wonderful Performances Following
Our Civil War When a Million Men
Returned to Work to be Repeated
by japan.
The great armies of Japan are about
to be sent back to the farm, the work
shop and the marts of trade. The pa
gan nation that has refused to bow
its knee in worship at the foot of the
cross is about to exemplify that
prophesy of Isaiah perhaps more fully
than has any nation claiming to be
guided by the Christian faith.
They shall beat their swords into
ploughshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks nation shall not lift up
sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more"
Such were the words of the prophet,
spoken during the very period of which
tradition echoes the greatness of the
japanese nation.
Militant Japan passes" now de-
clares Baron Kaneko, the Mikado's
representative in the United States,
"and industrial Japan takes its place
with the coming of peace"
Within a short time, probably in Oc-
tober when the foliage of the rare
Japanese gardens is tinged with yellow
at the coming of the frost, the scrolls
that perpetuate japanese history will
bear a narrative of the grand disband-
ment of that army of japanese soldiers
that has overcome a power supposed
by the world at large to be its superior.
AS soon as the Japanese Government
can make the necessary arrangements,
that great army of three-quarters of a
million of men will pass in review
through the streets of Tokyo and will
invoke the same magic spell that made
for peace in the review of the Grand
Army of the Republic in our own capi-
tai at the close of the Civil War.
Promise of a Great Military-Peace
Beview.
The japanese, ever ready to adopt
the best that exists in foreign lands,
and with sufficient initiative and power
for Improvement to SurpaSS the people
they initiate, may be depended upon to
provide one of the most magnificent
spectacles representing uansi-
tion from war TO peace that has
ever been witnessed. That army that
has carried everything before il, and
which has been the wonder of the mill
tary powers of the world, will soon be
marching through the streets of Tokyo
amid the plaudits Of the populace that
has made sacrifices at home as have
the warriors on fields of battle where
their Russian antagonists have met de-
feat and humiliation.
This plan has been adol II in Il ten
tative way by the Japane-1 Govern
ment, and is likely to be carried out,
unless the riOtous acts of the people
who have been disappointed by what
they regard as inadequate compenSa-
tion for Japan as stipulated in the terms
of peace cause the Government, for
prudential reasons. to avoid such Il
demonstration when the great army is
within the capital.
But whether this display of mill
tary nation. chided as being devoted to
war for the love of military glory
alone, takes place on the magnificent
scale that many wise statesmen of
Japan hope for, the army that has
raised Japan to the rank of tirst-rate
The Breckenridge news., 1905-09-27
military power is to be disbanded and
the soldiers are to go to their homes.
Retnrn to the EacfnrX and the Earm

Return to the Factory and the Farm.
The little men who never turned
aside in making assaults upon the en-
emy are to return to the factory, TO
form with deft fingers those wonderful
art treasures that are the pride of Cul-
tured homes the world over, to devote
their genius to the combination of col
ors with effects that cause Western ar
fists to admire, but which they cannot
equal. The little patient men will go
to their farms and, by tOilsome effort
will make the soil fruitful to degree
that eXcites wonder in those aCCuS-
toned to the broad acres of America.
The tactful merchants. ever polite, but
capable of sharp practice withal, are
to dispense the wares that come from
the loom and the workshops of Japan
to all the nations of the earth.
The Japanese have from the first
claimed that their war with Russia has
been for the maintenance of their ma
tional integrity. Baron Kancko him
self disclaimed the charge year and Il
half ago that the japanese have been
bent upon military glory and that their
victories would fire their ambition and
urge them forward to greater conquestS
over Western nations from whom they
learned the modern arts of war. He
now scouts the idea that the japanese
will become the military allies of China
for the conquest of the Western world.
Although they can fight, the japanese,
like the Chinese, are peace loving. and
the whole trend of the nation is toward
internal development.
Now they are to prove to the world
that their declarations have not been
mere pretence. They are to beat their
swords into ploughshares, and their
spears into pruning hooks" They are
to take their place among the Christian
nations that have recourse to war only
for a just cause. They are to send
their ENJOYS to The Hague to WOO the
Goddess Of Peace.

House of Representatives had passed
the Esch-Townsend bill at the late
session it was carried into that COM
mittee and there held up until the
adjournment of Congress. A vast
amount of testimony was takn on the
merits of the contention between the
people and the transportation CONS

pended its meetings it was the general
impression that it was firmly fixed in
its purpose to defeat any remedial
