What Japan May Teach.

Japan, alone among nations, has
given the world an example of how a
people can throw off the shackles of
an oppressive autocracy and endow
itself with all the safeguards of liberty
and justice under a constitutional form
OF government, without going through
the terrible struggles and devastation
OF bloody revolutions, by following
along the paths of peaceful evolution.
Japan is the land of liberty, civil and
religious. Her religious liberty is
even far in advance OF nations who
pride themselves upon this most pre-
cious of national virtues. Her people
have no prejudices based upon reli-
gious or ecclesiastical grounds, and all
men of every church and creed are
free and equal to worship their God
In accordance with the dictates of
their own conscience in the fullest and
widest acceptation of the meaning
OF religious liberty. Japan, which has
learned much from the west, has even
more to teach the west, declares Os-
car Straus, secretary of commerce and
labor, in Leslie's. Persistency, self
control and preparedness are among
her national qualities; her officers ex-
emplify the highest skill united with
the utmost patriotism; her soldiers,
while reckless in their bravery in sac.
rificing their own lives, are uniformly
humane even to their enemies, and no
nation is served by more competent
diplomatic body-men of reliability
judgment and moderation.

STILL NEED OF PROTECTION.
Outory of Chicago Journal Is Unsup-

ing patronage? Both have been the
beneficiaries of the era of prosperity
that exists in this country on account
of the Dingley tariff, Does the Jour

1t can get along without prosperity?
Has it notion that American indus
tries can go on paying the highest
wages ever known and employing full
quotas of workmen in competition
with the cheap labor of Europe? If it
does, it is laboring under delusion.
The removal of the protective princi-
pies of the tariff would instantly ex-
pose the industries of this country to
the inroads of foreign goods made at
starvation wages, and no matter how
strong and prosperous an institution
is, it cannot long Withstand such a
corroding influence on it's business.

STAB AT PROTECTIVE sYsrEm.
What Recent Agreement with Ger
many Amounts to.

In declaring that the arrangement
with Germany Is violation Of the
principles of the protective tariff sys-
tenn" the Washington Post states a
fact of Importance. II Is true, as the
Post AYERS. that the foundation stone
of protectionism is that the United
States shall treat afl countries alike,
and that the agreement just made is
not justified II the protective system
is to be continued"
The agreement with Germany con-
templates larger opportunities for the
admission of competitive products in
the United States. Either it means
that, or it means nothing. We do not
suppose that the shrewd diplomats of
Germany have been putting in their
time reaching an agreement which
means to German producers no more
than the petty an inconsequential con-
sparkling wines. statuary, etc. Paltry
dickers like this do not take 80 much
time. 1t was the privilege of under
valuing their exports that the Ger.
mans wanted and got.
Just now our gifted state depart
ment and our acquiescent treasury de-
partment are busily engaged in trying
to show that the permission TO fix
their own values is not going to do
the Germans any good or American
industry and labor any harm. Then
why was the permission granted?
Was law of congress distorted out
of shape and nullified to no purpose
1t is silly 10 suppose it. The Post is
right. The German agreement is an
undetermined stab at the protective
tariff system. This agreement must
of necessity be extended to all com
peting nations-all except Great
Britain, the nation that deserves most
at our hands. So, If the agreement
stands protection must fall Nothing
is palmer than that.

regions from which the larger num-
Der OF people come to America, and
all the other matters which may serve
to improve the handling OF the immi-
grafton problem at the present time,
and to furnish basis for intelligent
legislation in the future. In the mat
ter OF the admission of diseased or in
dfgent aliens, there is even now little
ground for complaint, says Youths
Companion. The present laws are
efhcient, and on the whole well en-
forced. The great need is the devel-

steady and never-lessening stream

to those arid fields which it will fer

Flow of Artesian Well.

To calculate the rate of flow of an
artesian well simple plan is to lower
bottle of aniline fluid to a depth OF
say 500 feet and then electrically ex-
plode cap to burst the bottle. The
time required for the fluid to appear
at the surface gives an accurate gauge
as to the velocity Of flow. 1t is claimed
that this method gives results as &C.

the pipe being known, the rate of flow
