JAPAN'S INGENUITY.

Pending the discussion of the peace
negotiations, and in anticipation OF an
armistice, the japanese have displayed
in ingenious diplomatic quality in forci-
bly acquiring the island OF Sakhalin. AT
any time within several months they
could readily have achieved this object.
The small Russian garrison was entire
" inadequate for its defense. Russia
no doubt wondered why the task had
not been accomplished earlier. 1t would
have been. perhaps, except that Japan
felt that there was better use for her
troops elsewhere. This is taken as one
of the strongest indications of perma.
nent peace-for, the japanese being In
possession of this outpost of Russian
territory, it can rightly be considered as
theirs by conquest when the plenipo'
tentiaries engage m their peace delib-
erations. The japanese are really en-
titled to the island OF Sakhalin, as ii is
a part of the Japanese archipelago, and
they were the original owners of it. In
1875 the Russians acquired it by COM
pulsory treaty with Japan and now,
in the days of their glory. the subjects
of the Mikado are not likely to forget
the conditions that existed three de-
cades ago. The well timbered island
will add greatly to the territory of ia
pan, and its undeveloped resources will
materially increase the wealth of the
Inland Empire.

CUSTOMS INSPECTION.

Collector Stranahan illustrates the
value of having in public Office men Of
common sense and initiative in small
matters. These things, which many off
cials think beneath their attention, are
of far more importance than is common
ly supposed in promoting the easy trans
action of business and the comfort OF
the people. just as Postmaster VIII
cox's recent circular urging the early
posting of business letters has to con-
siderable extent relieved the congestion
of the Office and facilitated more prompt
deliveries for eNerybody's benefit, so
Collector Stranahan's plan of sending
abroad to every tourist registered on
the steamship list a pamphlet clear
ly describing the customs regulations
and instructing him as to his rights and
obligations in the matter of imports
has reduced by more than half the us
ual friction between officials and return
ing travellers. OF course, nobody eX-
poets the tariff laws to be popular with
tourists. No tax is popular. 1t is not
a question of tariff for protection or
for revenue only. Any duties at all on
articles which Americans wish to bring
home would be obnoxious. 1t is human
nature to dislike the custom house. Yet,
if we are to collect the customs reven-
ne at all-and nobody proposes to aban-
don 1.-THE traveller can not be passed
uninspected as a petty retail importer,
beneath the notice of great nation
for such a course would open the doors
to wholesale fraud. There have at times
indeed, been just complaints against un-
necessary restrictions and harsh meth
ods Of administration, which have been
largely corrected Most of the trouble
at the piers hae been due, however, to
misunderstanding Travellers did not
know what to do. If they made whole
sale declarations, hoping to pay and get
through quickly, they subjected them
selves to the necessity of showing up
goods to the full measure of the decla-
ration. often difficult task. And if
they declared nothing they provoked
question about what was in their bag
gage. If every traveller arranges bis
baggage so as to exhibit what he knows
is dutiable. and otherwise seeks TO make
easy compliance with the necessary for.
malities, his journey through the Gus.
toms lines will be quicker and pleasant.
er for himself and the officials. This
adjustment is what Collector StraDahan
has sought with great good sense, and
apparently he has secured it, for the
complaint correspondence Of the Gus.
