JAPAN AND CHINA

An exceptionally weighty and interesting con-
ributlon 10 current discussion of the great
Eastern question:" and especially of Japan's
relations to China and her possible assertion of
hegemony of the Mongolan world. has been
made by Baron GOto to a writer for 'The London
Daily Telegraph" Baron Goto, we need
scarcely explain, is one Of the most distin-
guished civil administrators In the service of
the Mikado, and as practical governor general
of Formosa-the nominal holder of that office is
soldier, who is little more than figurehead-
be has for a number of years been doing work
comparable in a measure with that of Sir Frank
Swettenham in the Malay States and that of
Lord Cromer in Egypt. At the head Of a mere
handful Of japanese he controls and is civilizing
The millions Of Chinese in that island. and is
practically demonstrating the attitude and in
tentions Of Japan toward the Chinese race and
empire.
Baron Goto does not profess to have Jap
anned' the Chinese of FormOsa. They remain
Chinese still. in mind and habits. The majority
of them would probably protest against the re-
annexation of the island to China but that would
not be because they have become assimilated to
the japanese, but for the intensely practical
reason that under japanese rule they are more
prosperous and are making more money than
they did or could under Chinese rule. Contin-
ued japanese rule is essential, as they recog-
niZe, TO the continuance of those happy condi-
tons. They show no signs Of becoming, under
japanese instruction, competent themselves to
take up the work of administration success
fully. 1t is true that they make fairly good
policeman Of the second class, but that Is only
| while they are under japanese officers Left to
themselves they would be of little value.
Baron GOto also makes the remarkable con-
/ fesson that, after years Of diligent study, he
remains quite unable to understand the Chinese
character or to fathom the workings of the
Chinese mind. To him, as to all the rest of the
world, the psychology of China is a closed and
| sealed book. We must credit him with speaking
thus in good faith and truthfully but when we
do so. what is the inevitable Implication? That
the japanese as whole thus fail to comprehend
China, and that the Chinese mind and character
seem as foreign and strange 20 the Japanese
| as to us. IL that is so, what becomes of those
lurid yellow peril" fancies, of Japan putting
herself at the head OF China, imbuing the latter
with her own militant spirit and then MOVING
on to the conquest Of the world? They vanish In
hopeless dscredit. Nor are we inclined TO doubt
the correctness OF Baron Goto's statement or al
the logic Of the implication. It is true that th,
japanese and the Chinese sprang originally from
the same racial stock But for many centuries
the two peoples have lived, moved and had theil

ANTICIPATING THE USUAL ORGY

General Bingham's order against the use of
fireworks before the Fourth of July has doubt
less had a. good effect though it is evidently
houted In some parts of the city. In other
nearby communities, not under the Jurisdiction
of the gods of war;" the preliminary fusillade
is already in lively progress and will be main
tanned until after Independence Day. The papers
have already contained considerable advance
roll of casualties so caused, and there is rea-
son to expect that the general census of disas-
tiers and deaths from frecrackers, TOY" pis-
tols and other devices of barbarism will be
fully up to that of any former year.
There is grim significance in the advertising
pages of the last number OF a leading medical
and surgical periodical where we find two dis
played page advertisements of remedies for
Fourth Of July injuries" as they are frankly
described. 1t is well known that physicians
hospitals and drug stores do make special prep
aratiOns for meeting the emergencies of that
day of wOundings and slaughter. But what
a comment the fact is upon our civilization, our
humanity and our conception of patriotic CON-
memoration
OF course, there will still be those who will
appeal to the speech which Daniel Webster
imagined John Adams to have made as tuSti-
fication for such a celebration of Independence
Day. But at most that only prescribes fire
works for the one day. Our modern savagery
goes far beyond that AS a current magazine
writer observes, a generation ago, or even less,
a boy who fired off a single cracker a single
day before the Fourth would have been hooted
at and disgraced as a sneak and one who did
so a day after the Fourth would have Deen
ridiculed as a "back number" But now we
start in about Memorial Day and keep the thing
going until August. That is the worst feature
of the annual orgy.

THE RUSSIAN MINISTRY.

Little by little Russia makes progress tow
ard the status of a responsible representative
government. The progress may seem slow to
those who are impatient 1t is at least sure.
like that of Fate in Turgenieffs poem, with
the inexorable Thou canst not escape me-
For our own part, we must regard 1t as rapid
progress. 1t was only a few months back that
Russia was endowed with any ministry at all.
1t was only few weeks ago that the demand
for responsible ministry arose in the Douma.
1t was only last week that considerable part
of the Imperial Council Joined in that demand.
To-day we hear that some of the court circle
have begun to cherish the same sentiment To-
morrow the change may come. 1t must come
soon.
1t would be wisdom for the ministry itself TO
take the initiative, and to resign with a rec
Ommendation that a new Cabinet be formed
from members of the Douma, or at least of men
acceptable to the Douma. The present ministry
is an anachronism. 1t belongs to an age that
is past. 1t was formed before the Douma came
into existence. 1t did its work well enough
then. But its work is now DONE and logic and
justice require that it shall eliminate itself or
be eliminated, and give place to new minis
try formed in new circumstances and suited to
new conditions.
The first hint by the Douma that this should
be done was regarded as a somewhat imperti-
nent transcendng of the Douma's rights and
privileges. Now 1t Is otherwise regarded, and
the changed opinion is daily gaining strength
A new force has come into being in Russia.
which is daily increasing. 1t cannot be checked.
If it is antagOnized q conflict will be provoked
which can have but one ending. The question
for the Emperor to decide is whether he will
identify himself with a ministry which is unac-
ceptable to parliament and people, and thus in
volve himself in the odium which rising antago-
nism portends, or will place himself In accord
with the nation by removing the ministerial
barrier which now separates him from 1t. 1t
does not seem possible that he can long delay
n right answer to that question.

yards. This seems to have been regular under
| the contract which called for payment accord
ing to snowfall, and not according TO the actual
removal, but such a wasteful contract is GER
tainly to be censured, and there would seem
to be justice in Mr.. Ivins's reflection that the
Commissioner should have been able to find out
its wasteful character within four years of his
adoption of that system.
The report contains many valuable suggestions
concerning disposition of ashes and garbage
and the improvement of the waterfront. The
recent burning of the Barren Island establish
ment should stimulate efforts long neglected for
scientific and economical solution of the
disposition problem The report comments Sc
rerely on many of Commissioner Woodburys
methods and ideas. He has the defects OF his
qualities. He is man of great energy. inclined
to conduct his public work on personal lines ana
II may be that his strictly personal discipline has
not worked out happy results. The report gives
no reason to believe, however, that Commis-
sioner Woodbury. has not honestly and con-
scientiously striven TO do his duty. however
serious his mistakes of judgment may have
been. 1t is hardly likely that, with the Mayor
absent, the demand for Major Woodbury's re-
tirement will have any practical results, but
whether he remains at the head of the depart
ment or some one else takes up the work 1t is
clear that the business of street cleaning Is in
need of decided reorganization and reform, both
TO effect economies and TO secure better service
TO the people.

STREET CLEANING METHODS.

Mr. Ivins's report on the Street Cleaning De
partment is robbed OF much Of its effective
ness by the fact that ii is approved by only n
minority Of the aldermanic committee What
ever may be the motives which impeled two
OF the members of the committee to dissent en-
trely from the findings formulated bv Mr..
WINS, and one, while generally concurring in
the report, TO dissent from the Recommendation
that Commissioner Woodbury. be removed. these
differences must inevitably be influential on
public opinion. Those who may disagree with
Mr.. Flnss conclusions must nevertheless, ad-
NIT that he has marsballed a large mass of
valuable and even startling facts concerning
the Street Cleaning Department and pointed the
way TO much needed reforms. Even the alder
men who pay tribute TO Major Woodbury's hon
esty and efficiency report some shortcomings
in the work of his department.
The comparison presented between the work
of Commissioner Woodbury. and Commissioner
Nar1ng IN the Borough Of Manhattan is signi6-
cant especially as every observer with q MEM
ory knows that the streets are not so clean
as they were under Commissioner WarinC. The
area OF paved streets in Manhattan has in
creased only twenty miles since 1897. while in
that time l03 miles have been converted from
other forms Of pavement 10 asphalt thus MAX
ing the work OF the bureau considerably easier
ulah II was under Colonel WarIng. In 1897
there were l,614 sweepers in the borough or
one man 10 every .2G4 of a mile while In 1905
mere were 1.IG9 sweepers, or one man in every
10 of a mile, an increase Of only l per cent
IN The space to be cleaned by each sweeper.
while The mileage OF asphalt has been nearly
doubled and the mems work correspondence
decreased. Notwithstanding this the cost of
tae departments work IN Manhattan and The
brollX, with which alone comparison with Colo
nel warnings administration is possible. has
more lhan doubled since 1896. the most expen-
sive year OF Colonel Warnings term. The In
crease in Brooklyn since the first years of the
consolidation has been as marked. In every
department money has been spent more freely
without apparent Improvement in the cleanli
ness Of the streets.
The report contains a mass OF astonishing
statements with respect 10 the removal of snow
and ice. The increase in cost for this NyorE
has been enormous, the expense Amounting In
the year 1y04-05 20 over 81 100000 for Nonhet
tan and The Bronx, as against an expendltur.
