Desirable Japanese.

1t is announced that General Kuroki
has been no less surprised than pleased
at his cordial reception in the United
States. 1t is even intimated that he
came prepared for social chilliness. the
unpleasant Frisco incident having been
interpreted in Japan as indicating the
feeling of all Americans for all jap
anese. He. of course. did not expect
affronts, but he certainly did not anti
cipate the applause and fattering at
tention Of which he has been the re-
cipient. Its unexpectedness has made
this ovation all the more agreeable
and the distinguished warrior takes his
departure with a much higher opinion
of the United States than when he land
ed at Seattle. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever, that he will not mistake the feel
ing of America for Japan This coun-
try is still irrevocably opposed TO the
influx of Japanese cheap labor with its
attendant curse Of orientalism. We
welcome cordially the japanese stud
ent, traveller or merchant and would
gladly receive as citizens the more
educated and progressive classes. But
the Japanese coolie is very whit as
Objectionable as the Chinese coolie and
we will have none of him. If we are
to have japanese citizens we want the
kind the nikado is DESTROYS of retain
ing in his kingdom. not the sort Of
which he is anxious to be rid.-Fort
Wayne News.

in every section of the country. All
agreed that decorating the graves of
soldiers with flowers on the day ap-
pointed would give the nation new
life and be welcomed by all the peo-
pie.
But this is not all. The religious
sentiment at the bottom of the idea
-~of honoring the dead soldiers and
perpetuating the memory of their he
roio deeds made the day something
higher and nobler than anything
known in the days Of the Greeks.
Thus it came about that Memorial
Day became the greatest OF all our
American holidays. It was a day for
the bereaved to commune at the
ton1bs of their honored dead.
For many years, as we all know
the custom was an event-the most
beautiful, pathetic and sacred of our
holfdays-but later on, as the ranks OF
the survivors grew thinner and the
families who had contributed SO many
lives to the war passed away, the day
became more like other holidays
day more noted for military parade,
a day for games and picnics and hav.
ing good time generally, until now
the general public are coming to look
on Memorial day as an ordinary ma.
tional holiday, like Washington's
Birthday or the Fourth of July.
Had it not been for the deep reIi
gious sentiment, with prayers and
church services held In honor OF the
soldiers, Memorial day would from
the beginning in all probability have
been attended with the noise and dis.
play of the Fourth of July. Fortu.
nately this religious sentiment has
made the people more thoughtful,
and instead Of noise and gun firing we
have gone in for more quiet recrea
tion-country picnics-making the
day more like a festival than a day
of mere noise and parade.
/ think it is a beautiful idea. this
decorating the graves of those who
sacrificed their lives in the tremen.
dous days of the war and purely out
of patriotic devotion, and it is q pity
indeed that public sentiment is grad.
ually changing and we are forgetting
the solemn lessons taught by the war
and of the sacred meaning Of honor
ing the dead-drifting away and max.
ing the sacred festival more and more
a common holiday Of races, noisy pic
MICS and having good time general
~, with no particular sentiment ami
mating the thousands who should take
a higher view Of Memorial day.

MEMORIAL DAY
Something OF Its Origin and g
Prophecy as TO Its Future.
BY MAJ. GEN. FRED. D. GRAM

by MAI. GEN. FRED. D. GRANT
E~HE idea of this beautiful Gus
@ soa va: ss ss' .s sssssit ssus sss
by Gen. John A. Logan He
was thoughtful man, swayed by sen
timent Of the highest order, and
close student of the classics. He
read much and frequently referred TO
historic episodes In his speeches.
BY nature Gen. Logan was inclined
TO be heroic, and so after the war,
after reading much about the beauti-
ful customs Of the ancient Greeks in
honoring their dead heroes with cere-
monies and flowers at annual fes-
rivals, 1t came to him in a moment of
inspiration that it would be patriot
ic and popular thing to likewise honor
the dead soldiers Of our own country
in a similar way. he held that to
decorate the soldiers graves once
year in the month Of May with its
flowers and blooming splendor would
awaken new sentiments Of loyalty and
regard for the government among the
people.
1t was a fact, as he well knew,
that nearly every household had lost
one or more members or relatives or
dear friends. Gen. Logan's inspira-
ton awoke response IN every heart
and his movement was soon organized
and made of national Importance.

WITH FAT MANS QUARTER.
Two DamseIs Left the Car, and He
Uttered No Protest.

A corpulent man with a red face
went to Coney island one day and sat
in the cross seat of an open car in
front OF two stout German women. In
searching for nickel to pay his fare,
he dropped a quarter, which rolled al
most under the dress of one of the
women
He realized that he might make a
spectacle of himself If he attempted
to pick up the quarter, so he decided
to wait until she and her friend got
out. Meanwhile he took an occasion
al glance at the coin.
The women found themselves at
their station Unexpectedly, and in
their hurry to get out, one Of them
knocked her handkerchief, which was
weighted with something, on the back
Of the fat mans seat. A corner OF
the handkerchief dropped and let out
a shower of jingling silver.
The owner knelt and began col
lecting the coins, while her friend
urged her to hurry. The man gave a
sigh of relief when he saw that the
woman had not noticed his quarter.
Just then, however. the other woman
observed It.
Katrina" she said, you have not
all dot schange got. Look! Dere is a
Quvarter"
Katrina, with an effort, stopped and
picked it up. and she and her friend
rushed from the car. The fat man,
who saw the futility of protest under
the peculiar circumstances. sighed re-
gretfully and sadly watched them go

A newspaper is published to print all
the news, fairly and impartially, Most
people are aware OF this fact, but many
OF them forget it. Daily there comes
requests TO every newspaper office TO
suppress some item of news, but news
items are the assets of q newspaper:
they are its whole stock IN trade, II
Is on its news service that a journal is
built up and made power in the CON-
munity, and made to pay its way.
When request is made TO deprive the
news columns of that which rightfuIly
belongs there. and for which the sub
soriber pays, the newspaper is asked TO
make wrongful disposition OF it's stock
in trade, to its own detriment, and
against the just expectation of those
who subscribe for the paper to get the
news.-Sait Lake Tribune.

The Cubs won and the Sox lost and
the lead in the race once more changes.
We wonder how long this thing is go
ing to keep up, and we hope that the
race will be close the year round. The
Cubs played the youngsters from Gin
cinnati to a standstill yesterday and
won by a score of 10 to although the
hits were even. Essick and Brown
were in the points, and but for the
timely errors Of the homo team the
score might have been different as they
had five misplays. Chance came back
to earth again with his stick and got
three hits, while Johnny King got two.
The Giants were up against it at Phila-
delphia and were walloped in a swat
fest by a score of IL TO 9. Ames, Tay-
Tor and McGinnity were used while
Corridor and Pittinger were brought
into action by the winners.
The miners at Tonopah are worked
up to a fever heat over the scrap
which is to be pulled off tomorrow and
all work has ceased. Both Hart and
Schreck are in the best shape Of their
lives and when the gong rings the air
will be full Of mitts and flying arms.
Both have punch that is haymaker
and both are as game as any man who
ever donned glove. The fight means
a whole lot to both men and Schreck
figures that it will mean fight with
the winner Of the Burns-Squires go
and possibly a $4,000 proposition with
Jeffries. Schreck viii go into the ring
a favorite, but the Goldheld bunch will
back Hart to the limit, and thousands
OF dollars will change hands. Hart
will weigh about 80 pounds and
Schreck will tip the beam at about $50.
After a two days lay off the Sox viii
get into the harness today and battle
with the St Louis team. The games
with St. Louis and two with Detroit
will wind up the home series OF the
Sox for the present. and Sunday night

to care for the squirrels they can be
easily secured. What The Messenger
says about St. Adams is equally applica-
bic here: st Adams boys might be
the movers in the idea themselves, OBJ
tain and free the squirrels, and do their
own policing for their protection, and
thus establish a proprietary right in the
property. II the boys themselves made
and enforced their own law that the
squirrels should be unframed, woe unto

might become the traditional pets aud

STRAUS ENDS INSPECTION
POSTS IN THE WEST
Back in Washington After Trip to Ha-
wall, Along Pacific Coast and the
Northern Border.

Washington, D. O.. Sept. l2.--secre.
tary straus, who has been visiting the
Pacific coast and the Hawaiian islands,
has returned to Washington. A firm
believer in the idea that tho vast inter.
ests intrusted to his keeping could not
be entirely administered from his desk
in Washington, the secretary determined
to make personal inspection Of the
workings Of the department away from
the capital, and to become personally
acquainted with the various officials hay
ing supervision, He according planned
a trip along the Canadian border to Van
couyer, and thence south through Seat
tie and Portland to San Francisco. with
Honolulu as the ultimate destination,
Secretary straus made several nota
bic addresses while at Honolulu. In one
he said:
u have the knowledge and experience
Of the fact that one OF the greatest
shortcomings in the way Of the progress
Of the islands is that there is not suffi-
cient communication between them and
the mainland. This you must have and
you ought to have, and speaking indi
vidually and officially, | promise YOU
that shall do everything within my
power to assist in getting the shipping
facilities that you need"
On another occasion the secretary was
waited upon by delegation Of Japanese
editors. To them he said:
An ideal condition for the future vel.
fare OF these islands would be that there
should not be too great preponderance
Of any one race, but that an equilibrium
should be maintained I would impress
upon you and upon each Of the several
races here, to have care not to ex-
plot these islands aud their resources
for the benefit Of the country from which
they came, but to act in the spirit 81
the government under which they live;
Of loyalty to the interests Of the
islands"
