The Bookman.


The Japanese are very clever. but their
cleverness, naturally, enough, is devoted to
their own peculiar interests. They are not
altruistic in the slightest degree. They
will use foreigners and pay foreigners and
welcome foreigners for precisely such a
length OF time, as suits their interest
After that, they will cast foreigners aside
like squeezed oranges. and under their SUI
pericial pollteness will be as hard and
as selfish as any race that the world has
ever seen. They are in fact, an intensely
egotistic people, vain TO the last degree,
and. since their victory over Russia, they
are entirely convinced that they can bully,
and, II necessary, conquer any other people
upon earth Some Day they will run up
against white nation that IL not honey
eombed with discomfort. whose fleets and
armies are I'm superb condition, and whose
finances are not like those OF Russia,
crippled and hampered by eighty years Of
extravaganza and burdensome taxation
Then the Japanese bubble will be pricked
and the subjects of the milado will not be
80 excessively belIigerent.

The revival by the democratic city
council of the proposition to construct
the municipal lighting plant may be in
good faith, but the democrats had an
opportunity to assist in Just such a
move two years ago when the PROPOSE
ton was defeated by an overwhelming
majority. The streets of Omaha are
no better lighted now than they were
then and the appropriation for lights is
annually exhausted. Conditions have
long indicated the necessity for a mu-
nicipal lighting plant in Omaha. and It
is to be hoped that the proposition by
Mr.. Brucker, If seriously made, will re-
ceive more consideration at the hands
of the voters than was accorded that
