THE OPENING OF MANoHURIA.

Yesterday, it is TO be assumed, the two Man
churian ports Of An-Tung and Ta-Tung-KaO
were opened TO the intercourse and commerce
Of all nations, on equal terms. 1t was an
nOunced from Toxic a fortnight ago that this
would be done, and the Japanese have a habit
of keeping their word. A month hence Mouk-
den will similarly be opened, and by midsum-
mer the principle Of the open door, for which
this country has so earnestly cOntended and for
which Japan has fought two great wars will
be practically applied throughout at least all
the southern part Of Manchuria It remains to
be seen whether or not il will be applied in
the regions still occupied by Russia as promptly
as in those taken from Russia by Japan.
However that may be, the opening Of Man
churia far as Oyama's legions pursued their
triumphant way will mean a great deal to the
world and perhaps most of all, save Japan
herself, TO the United States. That country is
exceedingly rich in natural resources and prod
ucts, it's need Of American and other foreign
goods is large, and it's purchasing power is
great. Before the Russian occupation Ameri-
can trade with il was OF great extent and value.
During that occupation our trade was some
what handicapped by the special advantages
given to Russia. Now, however with a fair
field and no favor, American trade should dom
mate the Manchurian markets. The crippling
of San Francisco will no doubt TO some degree
hamper our commercial expansion in trans
pacific lands. but that will be for only short
time.
In another respect, too. the opening of Man
chuEia will be of great interest to the world It
Will Tor the FIRST time disclose 10 the eyes OF
the world the scene OF the titanic struggle be-
tween SamuTai and COssack One OF the most
impressive features OF that war was the i'm
penefEable veil which the Japanese hung be-
tween II and the rest OF the world. Not vet
mas That veil been removed, though the war
mas been for many months thing of the past
The places where the battles were fought have
been guarded from the alien eve almost 3
jealousy as were the battles themselves. No
body knows what has been going on there since
the War-to what extent the troops are eyac-
! uaun3 the country. and To what extaut fbs rav.
New-York tribune., 1906-05-02

and Buffalo set apart and the large coun-
ties Ike Westchester Albany, onondaga and
Monroe, entitled TO one or two Senators each,
are cared for. there remain twenty Senators
30 be apportoned through the remaining coun-
ties. An equal division would give each one
OF these districts little more than $4,000 In
habltants. That is below the general ratio, but
it IS due TO the necessary er-representation
OF large counties like Westchester, with 202, $780,
Albany with 163,9s3 and Onondaga with 169,-
732 inhabitants, and only one Senator each.
These Republican districts are far larger than
those Of this city which are strictly based on
the ratio, but the counties are not large enough
for two Senator's, and their surplus goes to
reduce the average population of other rural
districts, so that the representation outside the
metropolis averages the same as that within.
When the average population of these dis
tricts is noted It will be seen that "The Worlds
complaint about the diminutlOn Of the Saratoga
district is not we'll founded. With Warren
taken away It stiu has 125.36o people, and is
larger than any of its neighbors except Albany.
one county district. Neither, as suggested,
would ii do TO put Warren with Rensselaer,
which alone has 1872 people, almost exactly
the average for the twenty smaller districts.
For the same reason the suggested consolida-
ton in Western New York could not be made.
The districts are indeed below the ratio, but
the constitution, In providing for the repre-
sentation OF the large counties according to spe-
cific rules, leaves a certain number Of Senators
for the rest of the state, and they have been
distributed with substantial justice. If some
districts must have fewer people than others
il is proper that they should be those composed
Of several counties. One hundred thousand peo-
pie in one county have a common legislative
interest which can be represented by one man
much better than the interest of the same num-
Der Of people scattered through five counties.
So it is proper TO require the full ratio for
counties having four Senators, and an approach
TO a full ratio. before allowing a second Sen
atOr to a single county, even though the COM
pOsite districts containing many communities
have a smaller population.
