Japan and Us,

New fork Sun.
 Perhaps 8 boycott of American man. ufactures by Japan IS now unavoid- able. It looks like 1t. It will not rest there, There will presently be no open door in Manchuria. and or traffic with Eastern Asia north. of the Straits Settlement will cease.
 A Japanese boycott directed against us would be- very much more serious affair than a boycott by China, infinite- ly more serious Moreover; If Japan tute her boycott at once. Continued residence for Americans in Japan will be impracticable. American houses and agencies will have to close. All Americans will be- excluded from Corea.
 We should infer that material ,conse- auences would at once ensue to the trade of San Francisco, consequences that should concern the people who are now brayeIy struggling to build up that town and grasp again the reins of com merce.
 The situation is very serious Japan is not China. Her people have grounds for their resentiveness. Their nation al concept of honor Is higher than that of any other people. Comercial con- siderati0ns,N considerations of property, Of material welfare. considera tions even of life, avail nothing against the Japanese sense of honor, San Francis co in her hour of dire distress and travail gladly accepted the generous BAllS OI JdOdlis anu llIiiS OL cOnNdieS- cence requitted them with fiouts and with insults. There are no worse ene- mics of this country in existence today than the men who control San Francis co; who rule it's labor organizations with an iron rod, and who plumber it's population at their, discretion. These are the men who wield the prerogatives or the American people. Japan cannot discriminate+ The suggestion. for in- stance. that Japan would divert the ,Asiatic trade to Seattle and Tacoma, suggestion which to Americn ears has a painfully practical aspest, that sug- gestion would have no interest for Japan; indeed, would not be enter tained for a moment.
 The curtailment of our foreign mar l<et is not the most important feature Of the, case. Perhaps it Is one that should give us the least concern. As tho, episode develops and assumes its logical growth we must lose the Phil ippines and Hawaii There may be them, but we would like to re rid of them, but we do not believe there is any American. who wants to be. rid of them in that way..J

Bryan and Hearst.

New 1ork Times.
 Mir Bryan thinks that eff the trend for the next two years New York can be counted upon sL@ Democratic State in 1908. The situation of the Democratic party Is this Mrs Bryan and his supporters and MT. Hearst and his supporters are determined thatano conservative Democrat shall be elected President of the United States or Gov ernor of the State of New York. On the other hand, conservative Democrats are determined that Mr. Bryan shall not be President and that MT. Hearst shall not be Governor. If a party an- may be said to exhibit a trend" to- ward increase and in the direction of power, then nations are strongest when in the throes of civil war. and the human system is approaching its highest potency when the remnant of vital forces is struggling against rag ing fever.
 if MT Bryan were trying by these remarks to soften the heart of Mir. Hearst the large, free imbecility of his comments upon the New York cleo tion might be pardoned out of respect know that MT. Hearst has no heart for those who get in the way or his political ambitions. MT. Bryan is in his way. He will try to, get him. out of his way in 1908, and. with the help of Corners, Murphy and McCabe. he ing process by securing the Hearst delegation from New York. But it makes very little difference With Hearst as a candidate or with Bryan as a candidate New York would be surely Republican The rivalry be- tween the two concerns only the fnd- ing of the answer to the question: Which is to get the licking?

President Roosevelt. doesn't like Thomas Jefferson much, any way, and we suppose the term "Jenersonlan simplicity" has no charm for him, even if he ever reads about such things. He is now on the high seas in the bat tleship Louisiana, conveyed by two battleships, and a contemporary tells use something about the style. he is putting, on, something in, this way:
 President Roosevelt's. quarters are aft. and are. separated from the rest of the ship by a. temporary buIkhead. In the suite are a. large reception room. where, state dinners and. oficial receptions will be, held on the. trip of Southern governments; a large liW- ing room for general use of the Pres ident and his party; breakfast and sIn9ing room nisG Whsse tnsnesE fhs ioea ted in the stern of the ship. and with fine light; the Presidents stateroom designed, for the admirafs quarters: large stateroom' gwen to Mrs. hoose bathrooms for other members of the party.
 How is that for the Republican simplicity" We used to hear talk about? What would one of the ear lier-and better-Presidents say if he could come back and read this ac count? He would no doubt conclude that he was reading of the ruler of some old world nation. not of Preesl- dent of these United States. where so much has been said and written about our simple form of government But this is 1s6s and Roosevelt is Presi- dent

The present Democratic State Com mittee was chosen September 10, all in a lump, without any reference to the wishes or desires of delegates from the different Congressional Districts. Forty-five names were proposed by Mir. White and that number was chosen. There, was recently a call for th5t Committee to meet in this city and for the first time in many years if not In the history of the party, there was failure to obtain quorum and those who came had their trouble for noth- ing.

A very slight examination of the State returns is sufficient to show that the only thing that saved Gillett from don, who has recssved upwards of 40, GOO votes. nearly all of which would have been cast for Bell had there been no such third candidate in the rum ming, Hearst kept Langdon in the field for the express purpose of deefat- ing Bell and the Democratic Party of California, and accomplished that ob- feet.

 Quite a number of changes are need ed in the laws of the State Tn order to have them conform to the rules ana regulations of the regular army. but the laws, as they exist: arc good and sufflcient to make the National Guard a most complete and efficient organi- zation if they are rigidly and strictly February B, 1899 is ample for the control of the organization and the ad- ditional statutes cover the entire ground, but what we need is fully to enforce the laws upon all alike with. out fear or favor. To do that will not he too rigid or exacting, but 1t will he much better for all concerned. There is ample provision, for instance, Tor erty of the State in the hands of the various organizations. if the responsi- ble officers will do their duty and LOOK after the property as they should: Eacn of them has good "s tS.m ann saHe no yet come to realize the responsibility resting upon them and do not hold the men to strict accountability for prop erty they handle, the consequence be- ing that 1t is used on any and every occasion outside the service and IS soon unfit for the service intended

Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, chronic kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct reatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives.
 Being fully aware of this, Lydis E. Pinkham, early in her career, gave exhaustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound-was careful to see that it contained the correct combi- trol that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound Is the only one espe- cially prepared for women, and thou sands have been cured of serious kidney derangementa by it. Derangements of the feminine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when . woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins. backache. besring-tlown pains. scalding or burning sensations or de- posits in the urine, unusual thirst. swelling of hands and feet. swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back. running through the groin, she may infer that her kidneys are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound. the woman's remedy for woman's ills.
 The following letters show how marvelously successful it is.
