When I say that the Hochi is the opposition
organ, it must not be understood that the paper
showed any opposition to the government during
the war with Russia. In point of fact, from
the time when all relations with Russia were
broken off the newspapers in Japan, without any
exception, supported the government and the
nation.
The Jill Shmpo is owned and edited by the
son-n-aw of Niscount Hayashi, the japanese
Minister in London while the Nch Nichi is
now the property of Mr.. Kato formerly Minis
ter to London, and its editor is Christian, Mr.
Yokoi, who is a member of the japanese Parla-
ment.
The daily newspapers of Japan are much
cheaper than those of London even in these
days of the ascendency of the half-penny press
Most subscribers pay for their favorite newspa-
per monthly, and their subscriptions work out
in some cases at fraction under farthing a
day, and in none at more than haIf-Denny a
day. This Notwithstanding that advertisement
rates in the papers are considerably lower than
they are elsewhere. For small advertisements the

hand, and when 1 tell you that in the japanese
language there are some 10000 different charac-
tiers, of which 2S,000 in common daily use,
you will understand that the compostor has to
be man of no small skill and ability.
The typeroom of a japanese newspaper is a
large compartment, with shelves all around the
four walls, and in Setting" copy the compositor
has to run round and round the room picking
out from the thousands of little receptacles the
type he requires. 1t is at one and the same time
both mental and physical exercise OF a pretty
strenuous description.
As an instance of the manner in which Jap
anese newspaper is conducted, [ may state that
the staff of the Hochi consists of s1Xty-three ed
tors, sub-editors and reporters. The staff is di
vided into some seven eight departments, VIZ.

highest rate I have heard of is % cents per
line; while for large advertisements have never
heard of more than $125 page being paid for
insertion.
On occasion when we receive news of very
great Importance, it is customary to issue spe-
cial editions but these not las they are here
complete copies of the paper. They are, on the
contrary, merely leaflets, containing nothing but
the particular item of important news. These
are sold on the streets by newsboys at prices
varying from to and one-half cents.
The recent introduction of the serial story into
English papers has been feature of the Japan
ese press for thirty years past 1t will doubt
less amuse many people to know that the serial
system is, in our press, frequently applied to the
publication of leading articles and important po-
litica subjects For instance we may publish
a column of statesmans speech to-day, mark
it '''ro be continued give it another column to-
morrow and keep this up until it is finished a
week later Similarly with leading articles the
same practice is frequently adopted

Both affect the literary, and yet neither may
be said to have been scholars in the truest sense
of the term. Mr.. Carnegie is the unsolicited pml-

Rockefeller has a machine. 1t is said to be ii
marvel in the mercantile field but that term
mercantile is a misnomer. Mr.. Rockefeller has
ALWAYS guarded against waste and what he
terms useless charity However that
might be, he has effected the most perfect
machine running to-day, whether for making or
for spending. That he admits and ne calls in an
almoner For an applied charity, Mr.. Rocke-
teller has not even cold heart. 1t is a system
without being; it is purely existing-that is all.
Both have established and will establish monu-

Helen Gould probably represents the best and
the noblest part of America philanthropy. Hers
is apphed rather than ephemeral. She has
never ceased to give where the race may be
benefited She has always risen to the oppor
unity. Whether it may be said that the broth
ers have considered her "the wisest of them all,
the American people look upon her not only a'
woman, but part and parcel OF American lie
Strange as it may seem to the ordinary readers
Charles NJ Schwab represents Miss Gould in the
opposite sex He has made his money and does
not find the great difficulty of spending. Mr.
Schwab meets conditions as he finds them. Il
il goes against Mr.. Canegies or Mr.. Rockefeller
"machne" it is all off With Mr. Schwab il
is not so; he will act on his own initiative. i
is hardly necessary to mention to the American
people that he has been the ablest of all th'

before have the opottunitias f0t self
ishness been so great, nor the results
Of selGshness so appalling; for in
communities where everything: is or
ganized on merely selfish CONNER
cial basis, such selfshncss, if I'M
checked, may transfer the great
forces Of the new epocl into powers
Of destruction hitherto unequalled.
We, need to check the forces Of
creed, to insure just treatment alike
Of capital and of labor, and Of the
general public, to preveilt ally man,
..ich or poor, from doing or receiving
wrong, whether this wrong be one Of
.unning OF Of violence. Much can
be done by wise legislation and by
resolute enforcement of the law. But
still more must be done by steady
training Of the individual citizen, in
conscience and character, until lie
grows to abhor corruption and greed
and tyranny and brutality and to prize
Justice and fair-dealing:
The men who are to do the work
of the new epoch must be trained so
as to have a sturdy selfrespect, a
power Of sturdy insistenee on their
own rights, and with it proud and
generous recognition Of their duties,
a sense of honorable obligation to
their fellows, which will bind them,
as by bands Of steel, to refrain in
their daily work at home OF in their
business from doing aught to any man
which cannot be blazoned under the
