RELATIONS WITH JAPAN.

The change in rank Of the diplomatic relation
ship between this country and Japan is an Incl
dent of more than passing significance. The
elevation Of a legation TO an embassy is much
more than a change Of name. It involves an
access Of intimacy and increased advantages in
the conduct of international affairs. 1t also
indicates the esteem In which one nation holds
the Other-a feature especially observable and
commendable in the present case. America was
the first to establish relations with japan, and
IL IS pleasing for this country TO be among the
earliest to recognize Japan as now belonging in
the foremost rank Of nations We send ambas-
sailors TO six countries Of Europe, and TO two Of
America. To that distinguished roll one IN Asia
is DOW added-the first in that quarter Of the
globe and the first outside the Caucasian race.
The choice Of the first American Ambassador
10 Japan seems peculiarly appropriate from one
practical point of view General Wright has
been Governor General Of the Philippines His
duties in that Office, though very different from
those which he will have 70 discharge at Toxic
may nevertheless serve as good preparation
for them. He has doubtless acquired a compre-
hensive knowledge Of affairs in Eastern Asia.
both commercial and political which will enable
him to treat intelligently with the government
70 which be is accredited He is conversant with
American interests and policies there. and knows
how to safeguard and promote them Moreover.
Japans interests In the Philippines are consider
able, 50 that we come into contact with her there
almost as much as here and for that reason It is
well 10 have an Ambassador at Toxic who is
familiar with Philippine affairs
Rumors and forebodings Of trouble for this
country in Eastern Asia may continue TO abound
but their fulflment is not TO be anticipated II
1t should occur, IT would probably be our own
fault. America has long enjoyed exceptional ad-
vantages in that part OF the world. and IL has
been within her power TO maintain them China
has given US trust and grateful confidence such
as she has shown toward no other nation II
we should repel and forfeit those sentiments BY
unjust and barbarous conduct upon ourselves
would fall the blame and there would be no
cause for complaint, save against ourselves. II
another nation should step into the place we had
lost The recent utterances OF the President and
Secretary Of State, however. indicate a strong
disposition 10 discourage such folly. We have
ID some respects treated China badly, but il is
10y no means too late for amends or for such
policy concerning both China and Japan as
VIII confirm and enhance the oldt1me friendship.

UNREASONABLE WARMTH.

Abnor1nalIv mild as was the closing month OF
last wear. its immediate successor has thus Tar
been even milder, at least in the metropolis.
The mean temperature Of December at the gov
eminent station IN this city (377 degrees) was
about four degrees above the average for that
month for the last thirty-five years. The mean
for the part of January already elapsed 1853
is fully six and half degrees above the cstab-
Iished standard. Exact figures for the rest OF
the country are not available, but the same gen
eral conditions seem TO have prevailed over
wide area-nearly the whole region, in fact
lying between the Rocky Mountains and the
Atlantic Perhaps il will appear that in two or
three states adjacent 10 the Great Lakes the
departure from precedent has been more eX-
IRENE than in Southeastern New-YOrk. We can
find q parallel for the continued warmth here
only sixteen years ago. For the three months
beginning with December, 1889, there was
mean temperature in this city Of a fraction over
20 degrees To match the situation existing in
parts Of the West it may be necessary 10 go
much further back
The heat Of the last few days IS the more
extraordinary because It has come at the time
when It would be natural to expect the severest
cold of the season. Taking the average for
many years. we find that the lowest point in
the annual temperature curve falls between
January 20 and Is. To be sure the hot wave
is followed by a cold one A sharp reaction
has already occurred in the West and the fore
casters say that ii will be felt IN the East also.
If the level from which the temperature falls
be considered, however 1T will be perceived that
the mercury might make a bold descent with
out producing a serious effect. Last winter the
minimum temperature in this city (at the gov
eminent station was zero, and the winter be-
fore the minimum was four degrees below zero.
Thus far this year the official thermometer has
registered nothing lower than ID. 1t Will be
interesting 10 observe therefore, whether that
record is beaten during the current week and
II II is, whether the difference is great. Biz
yards are reported from the Northwest but the
lowest temperature on Saturday and Sunday
was about % below zero in places where it has
sometimes been 20. As or even 90 below zero
Everything considered. this unreasonable
warmth has been a blessing to most people II
may have promoted the spread OF certain dis
eases, especially the grip, but no great harm
has yet resulted. Transportation on land and
the waters adjacent TO the metropolis has been
embarrassed by fog, but on the other hand
the coal bills OF millions Of people have been
exceptionally small There is vet no evidence
that the development Of buds on fruit trees has
been harmfully FASTENED. In York ana
some other Eastern cities there has been almost
no snow up 10 the present time, and the little
which has fallen has disappeared quickly. The

DOGBERRY OR VERGES7

VherA NAV he some uncertainty concerning the
responsibility for the police interference with
and prohibition of an operate performance at
local theatre on Sunday evening II So 1t may
be left TO the various police officers TO settle
among themselves What is not at all uncertain
is that the law involved in that incident is togi-
cal and ridiculous, or that it is illogically and
ridiculously administered. That the purpose or
the law is grossly violated every Sunday seems
beyond question.
The law under which the police assumed TO act
was meant TO prohibit theatrical performances
on Sundays. Sacred concerts" are not barred.
But in the practical enforcement OF the law
whether performance is a drama or an opera
or a sacred concert depends not upon the play
bill or the actual doings upon the stage, but
solely upon the clothes the performers wear.
Hamlet" played in street clothes. is a sacred
concert and is. permissible; but for four per-
sons CARRIED as Ophelia, Hamlet Gertrude and
PoIonius to come upon the stage and sing
Nearer. Ny Cod TO Thee" would be drama
and therefore forbidden
That without exaggeration, is 1.-The law as she
is enforced" in Newly York every Sunday evening.
1t is notorious that at a number OF theatres the
same performances are given on Sundays that
are given during the week, with no change ex-
cept in the clothes OF the players-and IN the
name Dramas, musical farces and vaudeville
shows are labelled sacred concerts" and pro-
duced without interference. They are even given
in theatrical costumes so long as the costumes
are not those identified with the specific char
acters of play.
We are not arguing that the operate per
formance Of Sunday evening should or should
not have been permitted. We are arguing that
the law should be framed and administered IN
q way that would at least not be unworthy OF
Dogberry or Verges. If it was proper TO forbid
q performance Of a standard opera, given IN APP
propriate costumes, 1t would be proper to forbid
a performance Of Uncle Toms Cabin WIN
Marks and Legree in evening dress. the plays

those to which this city has become accusUoheu

INTEREST IN THE HIGHWAYS.

Thar was q wise Oneida County farmerFWho'
after walking four miles from his 1arm 10
noIling place, said that he had made tne JOE-
new for the express purpose or Young tor Ine
good roads amendment TO the state CONSTITUTION.
He explained why he had walked instead Oh
driving the distance by saying: Il LETT my team
,bor,a for fear I would meet one of those pesky
automobiles, but want good roads. anyway
"and the horses would soon get used to auto
..rooriIes If there were only better roads ana we
"couId see them oftener TO aCCustOm the horses
TO them"
That similar earnestness on the subject was
felt all over the state is shown by an analysis
Of the vote. A total vote OF 5O0,369 on that
narricular amendment showed a majority OF
266OO7-onIy three counties, Orleans, schuyler
and Yates giving an adverse majority. Il CouI-
parison as TO the popularity OF the good roaus
ouestion is afforded by a glance at the vote on
the canal proposition, where, out of total vote
on the amendment of about 100000. the ma
iorirv in its favor was less than that given Tor
the highway Improvement plan by 10000. InIs
canal vote was the result of a carefully worked
out plan Of campaign, with speeches III It's 1aVor
all over the state, while the highway vote re-
suited from the campaign Of education which
the various boards of supervisors have carried
on with the aid OF the press
That the vote was the result Of Intelligent
thought is shown by one instance, that Of Lewis
County, which is largely made up Of forest
land. has no city within its borders and has
low assessed valuation. OF the seven consu-
tutional amendments submitted 10 the voters
Lewis County disapprOved OF six, giving the
highway bond plan a majority Of 645 votes.
This one fact tells plainly that assertions or
antagonism on the part of farmers to improved
highways are based on a lack Of understanding
of the real sentiment OF the states farming
communities, and viii stiffen the backbones
of those who fear that the people have bitten
off more than they can chew" New-York has
set the pace so far as the finances Of improved
highways are concerned, and it now devoIves
on the best talent in the State Engineers Office
TO make good the challenge which she has
issued TO her neighbors and would-be rivals.

A candidate must excite enthusiasm or ami

preston of opinion.
Under this system the standing party COM

The rank and file must pass upon these reg

IN that way and whenever the people have any
vital desire they can enforce it, but that they
will really interest themselves to pick out their
own candidates by their own initiative year

from nominal naturalization is almost as diff
cult IN political party as in an insurance com
pany.
For all that the attempt is worth making,
and Mr. Parsons is on the right road. If the
voters Of New-York do not make the fullest
use of the system that could be wished It will
be their own fault. II they want to be bOssed
and are too lazy to rule themselves the great

advantages unquestionably outweigh the dis
cernible Disadvantages.
Meteorologists are not yet able to offer a
thoroughly satisfactory explanation OF extremely
mild and abnormally severe winters. Up 70 a
certain point it seems to be practicable to ac-
count for temperature eccentricities and either
an excess or deficiency OF rain by peculiarities
in the routes followed by storms. Inasmuch as
there is a general inflow Of air toward the
centre Of a barOmetric depression, change IN
the path will often be accompanied by a change
in the direction of the prevailing winds In
given locality. II these come from the south
when they might be expected to come from the
north, greater warmth than is usual Will De oo-
served But what causes the variations In route
cannot be told Supspots may exert some IN
iuence, and in time II may be possible TO estao-
fish the theory. but at present 1t is 0eset Win
difficulties. II hot weather is a product OF those
solar disturbances Of which spots are symp-
toms, a mild winter should occur regularly at
every maximum sunspot stage But there is no
such close coincidence. The wonderful warmth
Of sixteen years ago in New-York came at
a minimum stage OF abundance. The sunspOt
period is only about eleven years in length.
For this and other reasons IT is necessary
to admit that the mystery has not yet been
solved
