Iapan in ManchurIa.

A good deal of Ill feeling is arising
in England, and even in this country,
because the Japanese do not leave
southern Manchuria, thus letting all
nations have equal trade opportunities
in the rich territory. Japan proposes
to open all treaty ports in Manchuria
to trade in April. This would antici-
pate the terms of the Portsmouth
treaty by fully seven months.
Japan will, however, turn to adj
vantage all her opportunities. Any
other nation would do as much. She
is now filing southern Manchuria with
goods upon which no duties are paid.
She is doing all she can to strengthen
her trading position in Manchuria.
She will not withdraw her railroad
guards in southern Manchuria until
Russia leaves northern Manchuria.
The railroads, too, beyond Mukden
belong to Japan, and she has formed a
company to build connecting lines be-
tween Manchuria and China. 1t Is
plainly the intention of Japan to Sc
cure the larger share of Manchuria S
trade as we'll as that of Korea. She
is near at hand, and she knows what
Orientals want She has unmistakable
advantages in all eastern markets, and
IL would be strange indeed If she did
not utilize them. She will extend her
trade, and she will do all she can &c
Guido all other nations in the coveted
territory.

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The completion of Pittsburg's munich
pal tuberculosis camp at Marshalsea
promises to give to this city the oppor-
tunity for the treatment of consumption
according to the most advanced ideas
This institution is based upon the open
air process which relies chiefly upon ma
ture to effect restoration to health.
Sanatoria founded upon this principle have
been established on large scale in Eu-
ropean countries and also in the United
States, the results as whole encouraging
the wider adoption of this remedy.
tuberculosis, as Is well known leads
In Pittsburg the figures of the twelfth
census ranked it with typhoid fever in
which this city has attained and main
tanned an unenviabe prominence. 1t is a
settled axiom that TO cure a patient of
tuberculosis is a preventive measure of
the first Importance since every affected
person is menace to the health of all
those with whom he comes In contact.
The results of Pittsburg's experimental
camp will be awaited with interest. If
they fulfill expectations the new institu-
ton will be of much wider benefit than
the treatment of those victims for whom
it was primarily designed.

Mr.. TIIIman's Dispensary Fiqht.

The South Carlonia democrats held a
state primary on Tuesday last, and in
1t the state dispensary system estab-
lished and defended by Mr.. Tillman
was the chief issue. Senator Tillman
put up good fight in favor of its
maintenance. His candidates for gov
ernor and attorney general were, how
ever, voted down, but 1t is thought that
a majority of dispensary advocates
have been nominated for the legisla-
ture This renders the result drawn
one, neither side winning a clear de-
cisive verdict.
Mr.. Tillman has had an uphill fight
on his hands, chiefly because he had
to contend with prohibitionists on the
one hand and with free whisky on the
other. Under the Brice law, which adj
mits of county action on the liquor
question, seventeen of the forty-one
counties in the state nave gone dry"
and these seventeen opposed the state
dispensary system They feared that
a clear Tillman victory would be fol-
lowed by repeal of the Brice act.
The state dispensary system has
been in operation in South Carlonia
fourteen years, and 1t now does bust
ness of $4,000 year. Senator Till
man admits that graft and dishonesty
have crept into it, put he insists that it
should be reformed instead of abolish
ed, because it is sound in principle and
policy.
Local option by counties seems to be
growing in strength in South Carlonia,
partly because the state dispensary is
corrupt and corrupting, and partly be-
cause local option calls for strong
public sentiment, and no liquor law is
worth the paper 1t is written on unless
1t is backed by public sentiment The
South Carlonia struggle is by no means
ended. Senator Tillman was reelected
United Senator on Tuesday, and 1t
is believed he will control the new leg
Islature.
