THE MEANING OF TAIREN.

In the opening of Tairen-which it seems
natural, though 1t is incorrect still to call
Dalny-to the worlds trade Japan has fulfilled
her promises and has vndicated the sincerity of
her antebellum demands and professions, while
those who have been predicting or inSinuating
that she would do otherwise are put to con-
fusion. Tairen is now an open door for Amer
lea and all other nations on precisely equal
terms with the opener of that door.
One noteworthy and not altogether expected
feature of the case however. is now disclosed
in the announcement that Tairen will be in a
peculiar sense a free port. That is to say,
there will be no Chinese custom house and no
Chinese tariff, but n far lower rate of duties
than at the other ports on the Chinese seaboard,
not only for goods intended for local use, but
for imports for all Manchuria. The reason for
this is simple and convincing. Russia controls
the land frontier of Manchuria and refuses to
let the Chinese customs service prevail there,
but sends her own goods into Manchura at
whatever low rates Of duties she pleases, thus
giving her commerce a great advantage over
that of all other nations, which must go in by
sea through the Chinese custom houses. 1t
was by that means, among others, that Russia
tried 10 shut American cotton goods out Of Man
churla Against that system Japan has long
protested, arguing rightly that the same customs
service and tariff rates should prevail on the
land frontier and on the sea coast. But since Rus
sia still refuses TO yield TO the demand for such
equality. Japan now fights fire with. fire" by
giving Manchuria seaport through which goods
OF all nations may be imported at as low rates
Of duty as those which Russian goods enjoy on
the land. 1t will be noted, Of course that this
is for goods destined for Manchuria alone, and
not for other parts of the empire. since the
favored Russian goods coming in by land are
not permitted TO go beyond Manchuria into
other parts OF China without paying regular
rates.
The whole world thus owes Japan a debt OF
gratitude for providing at Tairen a means OF
overcoming Russia's unfair advantage and Of
enabling all nations TO participate in Chinese
commerce on equa! terms. II is a new kind OF
tariff war; upon which the world will look
with more favor than upon most such conflicts
but il is doubtful If it lasts long. II will no
longer be to Russia's advantage to persist In
her selfish and inequitable course in Manchuria,
and we may expect presently TO see the regular
Chinese customs service and tariff rates applied

DOMINION AND coMuoNwEA1rH.

Comparison OF the two great colonial repub-
lies OF the British Empire was suggested by the
treasurer Of the Australian Commonwealth in a
recent budget speech. It is one which may be
made with much interest by the student of sta
fisttcs and OF the growth OF nations, and doubt
less with much profit by the practical statesmen
OF the empire In size and some other respects
the two countries are not unevenIy matched.
while In situation and environment they are
stTlkingly cOntrasted, one being remotely isO-
lated from the United Kingdom and from all
important countries, while the other Is COM
Darat1vely near Great Britain and Continental
Europe and directly abuts upon the United
States.
in point Of age there is not the real difference
which history might suggest, for, while Canada
has belonged to Great Britain since 1863, its
modern Development dates from only about the
middle Of the last century, or about the same
time as that Of Australia. In size lhe Dominion
has a nominal superiority. Of 3,745,574 square
miles, against 2.972,906. But 1t is pretty safely
30 be assumed that arctic conditions make much
more Of the Dominion ninhabitable than tor
rid conditions do of the commonwealth and
that, therefore, the land areas available for
habitation and cultivation are more nearly equal
than the total areas. In population Canada is con-
siderably ahead, with nearly 100000. against
Australia's 100000. But the latter has been
growing much the more rapidly In 1S41 Can
ada had 1,53S,5OO and Australia only 1SO,626
The outlook is, therefore, that the common
wealth viii within the next generation be at
least as pOpulOus the Dominion.
They are both agricultural and mining coun-
tries and in both those industries the smaller
Outstrips the larger Even in wheat, upon
which the Dominion especially prides itself,
and with reason. there is little difference, Can
ada producing 69O00OOO and Australia 56O00,-
600 bushels In total agricultural exports lex
Guiding animals and their products) the two are
just even, with S29.O000OO each. But in ami
mails and animal products Australia has an
enormous preponderance over Canada. Of S1Os.-
100000 10 only S63O0O0OO In mineral products
Australia's superiority is still more marked. the
figures being in 1904 SlO9.s 900 for her To
only S80s343.000 for Canada. A large part OF
this was gold, IN which product Australia nearly
equals South Africa. In total imports Canada
leads. with S266,s $4,000 to $1S5. 100000, but in
total exports Australia leads. with $2S7,5O0,000
70 S2O3.3l6.OoO. and thus the balance Of trade in
Australia is by far the more favorable. The
total revenue Of Canada in 1905 was $71.1S2,773
and OF Australia $57,OOO.OOo.

la interest 20 Great Britain has 10 do with the

CUBA.

There is probably no such contradiction IN
President Palma's utterances concerning the
Cuban rebels and marauders as might appear
at first sight from his offer of amnesty con-
Joined with a threat to suppress the uprising
without dickering or compromise. His mean
ing doubtless is that the misled insurgents shall
have a chance TO return to their sense and
abandon the cause of disorder and that if they
do so they will have full amnesty, but that
those who refuse TO do so and persist in their
lawlessness will be prosecuted inexorabS Both
parts of that policy are to be commended as
statesmanlike and patriotic, and we confidently
expect that their fulilment will restore to
Cuba the constitutional order and prosperity
which Mr. Palmas administration has done so
much to earn.
1t seems quite evident now that there is no
formidable public support of this rebellion"
The people are not rising spontaneously or
otherwise, to depose a tyrant and TO assert
their rights. The whole trouble has been raised
by a handful of malcOntents, personal enemies
of the President and professional criminals, and
their desperate attempt to arouse popular enthu-
siasm for their cause" has failed though they
may be able to subject the government TO con-
siderable embarrassment for time.
AS for the report that some filibustering ex-
petitions have eluded the vigilance of the
United States authorities and have gone from
this country to fOment more trouble there, we
sincerely trust they are not true, but if they
are true we as sincerely hope that those
sponsible for them will meet their deserts and
have ample opportunity for reflection in prison
cells upon the pains and perils of twentieth
century piracy.

a house near where the girl lives. They had been

THE LATEST HOME RULE PLAN.

It is not possible to determine just how au-
thoritative is the forecast of Mr.. Bryce's Irish
Home Rule plan which has been made by 1.-THE
London Chronicle" but, in view of the close
sympathy, if nothing more, which exists be-
tween that newspaper and the present British
government, it is not forced assumption that
it expresses the at least tentative views Of some
influential public men, if, indeed, it is not actu-
ally inspired from the Irish Office as a 'feeler'
to sound both English and Irish opinion. In the
latter capacity it can scarcely fail TO prove eff
fective, though it may be doubtful whether the
effect will be encouraging to Mr.. Bryce.
The fundamental principle of the scheme is
the establishment Of an Irish legislature, or
council at Dublin, which shall be entirely sub
ordinate to the Imperial Parliament at West
minister and shall leave the Irish representation
in the latter unchanged and the legislative
union of the kingdoms unimpaired. It is quite
conceivable that this will be regarded with in
difference, and perhaps with cordial approval,
by many of the stanchest UniOnists, especially
if, as we are told, none of the acts of this Dub
lin council would be valid until referred to and
approved by the Imperial Parliament Il is
probable, too, that such a body at Dublin would
be of real service in expressing, through it's re-
ports and recommendations to Parliament the
needs and desires Of the Irish people more fully
and accurately than can be done under the
present system, and thus in facilitating the real
legislative work Of the United Kingdom
II is, however, scarcely conceivable that such
a plan would prove acceptable, or, at any rate
acceptable as a inality, to the Irish National
lists If they have receded somewhat from Par
nelIs historic demand for the breaking OF every
tie-even that of the crOwn-whlch united Ire
land with England, we have no intimation that
they have abandoned the essential and, as they
have persstently maintained. Indispensable
principles of their later Home Rule demands
namely, withdrawal OF the Irish members from
Westminster, the establishment Of a Dublin
parliament entirely independent Of that at West
minister, and thus complete repeal of the legis-
lative union. II they have undergone such a
change Of attitude. the world has not been made
acquainted with that most interesting and i'm
