JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP.

The Idea that the outburst of popular
feeling in Toxic against the peace treaty
was in any respect hostile TO the United
States has been shown to be entirely
groundless. The dispatch Of Secretary
Taft to President Roosevelt was a con-
elusive statement that the people Of
Japan not only feel no hostility to the
American people, but are absolutely
friendly and most earnestly desire the
cultivation Of cordial relations between
the two countries. According to Mr..
Taft the japanese government is de-
sirous that the disturbances in the en-
pire should not be considered as an anti
American demonstration, and that on
the contrary the sentiment is decidedly
cordial toward this country.
1t is hardly conceivable that the Jap
anese people, or at least the intelligent
portion Of them, should feel unfriendly
to the United States. No other country
has done so much for them as this re-
public. From the time, more than flfty
years ago, since Commodore Perry ac-
quainted the JapaneEe with a civiliza-
tion of which they had no previous
knowledge and started the island king
dom upon career which has been
marked by an extraordinary develop
ment, the United States has been Japan's
steadfast friend. Everything that could
properly and practically be done by this
republic to advance Japanese interests
has been done and always I'm the most
friendly and disinterested spirit. The
American people have felt a pride and
qualification in the growth of that ma
ton, and when It became involved in a
great war; for the preservation Of its
national existence, this was the first ma
ton to extend sympathy and moral sup
port. Furthermore, when japan wanted
money American capitalists were the
first to subscribe to her loans and thus
to give her a credit and standing In the
money markets of the world which she
could not otherwise have acquired. Had
the capitalists of the United States re-
fused in Japan's exigency to let her have
the money necessary to carry on the war
she must have met with inevitable fail
ure.
In view OF all this, most familiar to
the government and statesmen of Japan
It is not at all remarkable that the in.
telligent element among the japanese
should entertain a friendly feeling for
the American people and show upon
every proper occasion a desire to cult
vate cordial relations between the two
countries. In his dispatch to the presi
dent Secretary Taft spoke of the friend
ship and gratitude of the japanese as
abiding. There can be no reasonable
doubt that such is the case and nothing
should be done here to interfere with
this feeling. We need the friendship OF
Japan quite as much as that nation
needs our friendship and the mutual in
terests Of the two nations in the orient
and in the Pacific are very certain to in
crease in the future. The United States
and Japan should be bound together by
the closest ties of friendship and 1t Il
not to be doubted that this is mos
earnestly desired by both.

IN INFLnK OF GOLD.

Gold is coming to this country from
Europe and in the opinion Of foreign
finaneiers the tide that has turned
toward New York from the money cen
ters abroad will continue in that direc-
ton. This is one Of the results Of the
peace agreement. Prior to that there
had been an accumulation Of gold by
the European banks, due to the expecta-
ton that Russia would have TO pay a
large indemnity. Now this gold Is being
released and naturally a considerable
part of it is coming to this country,
which offers the best market in the
world for its investment.
What is TO be the effect of this inflow
OF gold upon industrial and commercial
interests hereI The natural inference
must he that II will have a tendency 10
stimulate business In all directions and
possibly 20 also encourage speculation.
There is already In the United States an
amount OF capital equal to, II not in eK-
cess, Of the demand for legitimate en-
terprises. Our own gold aecretion for
the fiscal year 1904 was more than $50.
100000. a considerable increase over the
previous year. The indications are that

No doubt we shall hear a great deal of
virtuous outcry over the campaign contri-
buttons of a big life insurance company,
but the outcry will be mostly false pre-
tense. Both parties welcome contributions
from all sorts and conditions Of men and
everybody knows that campaigns are run
on such contributions. In the present in
stance the surprise will be not at the fact
of the contribution but at the compare
lively modest dimensions OF II. We have

A HAPPY MAN.
Eastern Admirers Joyous Farewell
TO Colonel Bryan.

TO Colonel Bryan.
New York Sun.
Last week Hon. William Jennings Bryan
went fowling in the sand hills OF Ne
braska. He beat the record" He
bagged thirty-hve prairie chickens. No
game can resist him. He is a mighty
hunter. Rabbits, ostriches, octopuses, all
fall alike before him. He always has the
biggest bag when Hon. Moses Cincinnatus
Wetmore takes him TO the preserves 1t
seems to be a case Of fascination rather
than skill The truth is that Mr.. Bryan
has abnormal, almost supernormal hyp-
notic power. Beasts of the field, fowls of
the air, fish OF the sea- like hearers in
the lecture room, surrender to him gladly.
He has taking way.
Then there was prairie chicken and
watermelon banquet, rendered" to and
1oyously accepted by the hunter. Mr.
Bryan's appetite was always good We
may be sure that his laugh was loud and
long. His digestion is fine The state Of
the country doesn't bother him. His con-
science and his bank book are satisfactory.
| The election of 1901 still gives him deep
satisfaction
Thursday he begins his voyages trafics
and discoveries, his decentralization of the
| world. Lucky mani Plenty Of time plenty
| OF the pale and common drudge and the
world before him where to browse and
| choose and get up" subjects and write let
ters and observe men and cities. We see
I him feasting on poi and studying the native
dances and coolle labor. The trade winds
! give him the kiss of peace; they are not
more regular and constant than his own
| steady speech. Cherry blossoms garland
his head. He penetrates the problems OF
| transportation In a rickshaw He masters
| chopstick regulation and the financial situa-
tion In a day. He warns the empress OF
China against imperialism. He sizes up OF
cheers up the downtrodden Tagalog Wash
ingtons and Hampdens. He impresses upon
the ladrones the guilt Of predatory wealth
He warns the sultan of Jolo of the dangers
of monopoly and divorce. He tells the
Igorrote head hunters Of the poll tax and
trial by jury. He tells the soul catchers'
OF the Straits Settlements of the soulless
corporations.
And so he wanders on, happy and making
others happy.
A good voyage 20 him. and a stomach Inn
perturbable by great Neptune's ocean, and
a safe return! He is a good fellow as well
as the special agent and travelling represen-
tative of the producing classes

4 partial payment, amounting to

amount of money on this old ac-
count, but so little method ana thor
oughucss had there been I'm the pros
ecution of the claim, that nobody at

money was due the state; nor knew
any way To find out. Feverish starts
towards pressing some definite claim
were several times made and as
often discontinued, until, at the end
of the great business admi .istration
of 1900, there was not believed to be
a chance in a hundred for the col
lection of dollar of the old claim.
But whom dreamer" L8Folietta

any definite amount for money ex-
pended in equipment of troops, and
for interest on the same for forty

would have been in a much simpler
form. 1t had all TO be looked up

put into shape of an account, 50 that
