Japan.

VIII there be racket on the japanese
question when Congress sits? There ousn'
not to be. That is to say it ought to be pos
sibe to dispose of the controversy raised
In California without noise or without
making the eagle scream. The question
is not of the easiest, but properly handled
II should not tax US unduly. Some preju-
dice on the Pacific coast exists and this
will find expression, but as the question
in Its larger aspects is not local, Cali
fornia and the neighboring states cannot
reasonably be permitted to settle 1t.
Abroad. and particularly in France and
Russia, speculation as to the future Is
abundant. Some writers see-almost with
the suggestion of a hope-an armed con-
fiict between Japan and the United States
in the near future, and they are warming
us. ever so kindly, to get ready. We must
not, they tell US, be caught, as Russia
was, unprepared. Japan we are reminded
is a fighting nation. somewhat coeky now
as the result of measuring swords with
Russia and needs watching.
This is from recent issue of the: NoVoe
Vremya of st. Petersburg:
"AIthoush the San Francisco school
trouble has been settled, the optimism on
both sides Is not justified. The situation is
quite similar to that preceding the Russo
Japanese war. The race issue 'cleverly
raised by the Toxic cabinet may at the
proper moment be revived and pressed to
the point of rupture, giving Japan the
prerogative of the attacking side. rms
growing conflict of interests Is most serl-
Gus because II is inspired by national
ambition to which the United States in
future must either make full submission
or measure forces with militant Japan.
What is the similarity respecting the sit
uation between this country and Japan,
and that between Russia and Japan pre-
ceding the Russo-Japanese war? we are
not crowdng Japan. Her territory is not
menaced by us. We wish her well, ana
her progress as an Asiatic power Is ap-
plauded here If Russia had shown half
the appreciation of Japan that America has
there would have been no Russo-japanese
war Japan fought Russia upon no ordi-
nary provocation, but upon the well-de-
fined principle of seif-preservation. She
had to fight If she was to continue to live.
There is no such situation between this
country and Japan. The two governments
are friends. We have no designs on Japan,
and Japan has none on US. He, must be
suspicious and excitable individual who
takes any stock in the warning that Japan
meditates descent upon the Philippines.
Japan we'll understands that she could not
> change the map In that quarter OF the
world at her pleasure A manifestation or
that kind on her part would arouse more
than America. ,t- We should be first in the
field of course. but with 50 much moral
support behind us 1t would soon look like
a general engagement against Japan
We appreciate Japan. We know ner peo-
pie too well to class them with the Chinese
coolies, and she will get justice here In all
of her rightful contentious as to the treat
ment of her people living or sojourning in
the United States.

the engineer. and second, why the brake
man Of the Jacksonville express DID not
70 back a sufficient distance to warn the
Atlanta express of the stoppage OF MS
train A prompt stopping of the runaway
engine would at least have prevented any
possibility Of q mistake in the Lawyers
tower. Even In that case. however. II woutd
have been possible for the Rangoon opera
tor to blunder and send the Atlanta ex-
press into the block. Thus after all q
heavy responsibility attaches to the brake
man of the Jacksonville train.
1t is hardly conceivable that the brase-
man did not have time to 60 back sum-
cient distance to warn the on-cominS tram.
The two were not so close together tnat
the second engineer could not have stopped
his train IL given signal. He was going
only at a thirty-mile pace. according to
present understanding Of the matter. ana
up a grade He could have checker his
train in less than quarter of miie- Tne
rule requires the brakeman to go back
seventeen telegraph poles, or half mile,
which. on a straight track. would give
warning for at least a mile from the stalled
train. Even with the red light sent back
half the regulation distance the Atlanta
train could have been stopped in time. IL
is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the
customary precaution against rear-eno
collision was not taken at alb
Thus there appears to have been nesn-
gence and bad judgment as well as Iauity
equipment at the bottom of the catastrophe
in any case This fact puts the wreck
squarely in the category of the preventaoie'
a class so large and so steadily increasing
that serious question arises whether our
American railroads are being managed with
proper consideration for human lifes- There
is no possible excuse for SUCH mistakes'
Explanations only render more plain than
ever that the prime need Of the time Is
thorough overhauling of the methods In
vogue on all our railroad lines. to concen-
trate responsibility and to prov.~e checks
upon checks that will reduce to the low
est possible point the danger OF disaster
from human error or from mechanical
faults.

"boys~ say, IN the know about machines
and how to run them.
New Jersey - manufacturing state and
her people favor protection. Democrats as
well as republicans know which side their
bread is buttered on, and like their bread
buttered. THIS was shown In the revision
OF the tariff IN 1894. when Mr. Smith, who
was then member OF the Senate, assisted
Mr.. German In revising on protection
! lines the tarin bill the House sent over to
the Senate. He looked faithfully after the
Jersey schedules. and saw that they car
ried all the protection possible. He was
roundly abused by the free traders, re-
minded Of the tariff plank OF the platform
upon which the democracy had been re-
turned to power, and all that, but he would
not weaken. He stood firm even after Mr..
Cleveland had hurled his thunderbelt at
the German coterie.
Since then. but not because of Mr. Smiths
tariff votes, New Jersey has been a repub-
llcan state. Along with New York, she
revolted at Bryentsm, and stfll looks
askance at the. national democratic party
The. close vote on the 9Th instant-the
closest In ten yiears-was the result Of local
quarrels over local questions among the
republicans. nut. is to protection New
Jersey Has not abandoned an inch Of
ground; and were the tariff to come up in
the Senate next week, and both her sena-
tors democrats she would have them insist
upon schedules recognizing protection
wherever needed. Why not Smith, then, II
there is a chance for democrat? He will
Stand without hitching on the tarin issue.

The Scrapple Season.

From the West Chester (Pa.) Local News.
The scrappie season dawns upon US, with
Ats ravishing perfumes and its poesy. Scrap
pie follows sauerkraut. and is itself followed
by the bnckwheat cake. The three consti-
tute and compose the great gastronomic
trilogy of the late autumn. They are equal
~ savory, and their ineifable essences are
alike stimulating and revivifying. Sauer-
kraut, perhaps. IL shade the most nour-
ishing, and the buckwheat cake, It may be
admitted, is the most romantic OF the trio.
But even against these irresistibly seductive
deiicatessen, scrappie holds its own. For
the brief month following the falling of
the leaves 1t is the king victual and master
aliment of the great plain people.

After the Peers.


From the Baltimore American.
Popular sentiment in England is rapidly
crystallizing for the curtailment of the
power of veto upon public measures that is
exercised by the upper house of parlia-
ment. That the house Of lords will ulti-
mately undergo reconstruction is as Ger
tain as any event yet in the future can be
said to be. But the rock-ribbed preroga-
tives of an aristocratic system yield slowly
to the pressure Of public opinion and the
present surge OF popular feeling In Eng
land. for which there are few parallels In
the history Of the country. may subside
with the lords still entrenched in power

merely that this soap combination was
