THE NEWARK REFERENDUlf.

a nOn-poIitical feature of the recent election
in New Jersey Of more than passing interest
was the operation of the referendum system
in the city Of Newark. -Four widely different
questions, all Of much Importance, We're pre-
sented TO the electorate for determination. They
were not pressed as urgently on either side
as were the claims of the various candidates
for Office, and indeed were largely ignored in
the great food Of political discussion There
were those who expected, therefore, that only
a small vote would be cast on any one of
them. AS a matter of fact. however from 80
10 90 per cent of the voters took pains TO in
dicate their wishes concerning these matters.
and they sSd so. moreover in a manner which
indicated that their use of the referendum was
thoughtfully exercised. 1t was an intelligent
employment of the system on a more general
scale than has often been recorded.
The way in which the majority Of votes was
cast on each question is also worthy of notice
On the question of establishing a municipal
electric lighting plant an affirmative majority
of more than 12.O0O was cast. 1t is probable
that that vote indicates not a strong prefer
ence for municipal ownership per Sc nor un-
wavering trust in the prediction that the plant

and above its cost, but rather the dissatisfac-
tOn which is felt with the mOnopOstic cor
poraton which now supplies tie lighting The
vote for Increased pay for policemen was much

less reflects a general feeling that the men are
entitled 10 better pay
of some general interest, as an indication
Of the current trend there and elsewhere in
matters of educational administration, was the

membership and it has exhibited the faults

Of elected and who are to receive suitable
salaries 1t is confidently believed by the ad-
vOcates OF the new arrangement that thus
much more efficient and businesslike direction

The fourth question. on which an affirmative
vote was also cast was that Of appropriating

BAK0N H4YASHrS PLAIN TALK.

The interview which was given to CORE
spondent OF The Associated Press yesterday by
the japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs was
at once deliberate. detailed and explicit Ihere
was no mincing of words or phrases or eVadlhS
of delicate topics. The relations of Japan with
the United States, the San Francisco trouoies
and the immigration question were touched upon
without hesitation. and with only so much re-
serve as iudicious craftsmanship appropriately
prescrbes in the public discussion of diplomatic
matters.
On these subjects, it is gratifying to perceive,
Baron Hayashi fully confirmed the views which
we believe have all along been widely and firmly
held by the majority of thoughtful and we'll in
formed men in the United States He declared
that relations between the two countries were
entirely smooth and cordial, and that the Jap
aneSe government and nation recognized that
the welfare of civilization, as we'll Of the
two countries themselves, required that they
should remain So Japanese understanding of
the unfortunate incidents at San Francisco was
intelligent and discreet. and confidence in the
ultimate doing of justice by this country was
unimpaired. Concerning emigration. the minis
ter repeated what has often been affirmed in our
columns and what every student of the situa-
ton must know that the Japanese government
is decidedly averse to any considerable migra-
tOn of its people to America, there being much
need Of them nearer home in the colonies and
protectOrates which Japan is trying to develop.
But that would not, of course, make Japan con-
tent with having her people i'll treated here, or
with having their treaty rights impaired She is
quite ready. and indeed eager, TO restrain them
from coming here or to divert them elsewhere,
so far as is compatible with free constitutional
government, but she wants her people to feel
that they are staying at home or going to For
mosa or COrea at her wish, and not that the
American door is slammed in their faces.
We believe that Baron Hayashis statement
is worthy Of acceptance at its full face value,
as the sincere utterance Of a responsible states
man and as an exposition of the sentiments and
Intentions of great government whose relations
with America have for more than a generation
been peculiarly close and friendly and mutually
benefcent Thus regarded, it IS a gratifying
earnest of the continuance Of such relations for
the future.

THE WORLDS DEMAND FOR coTTov


Figures relating to the consumption Of cot
ton by the mills of Europe and America COM
piled in Manchester and forwarded by the
United States Consul in that city TO Washing
ton indicate that during the year ended Au-
gust 81. 1907 nearly 100000 bales were used.
OF this amount the United States produced
11,66S,570 bales. The rest came from East
production was apparently not far from $780,
900 bales or about One-fifth of the total supply,
and less than one-third of Europes consump-
tion. Possibly the returns not so full as
they might be- but they offer immediate
menace to the ascendency which the United
States has for generations enjoyed Promising
efforts have been made in the West Indies
and Africa to raise cotton. AS yet, however,
they have had little influence on commercial
statistics.
The United States consumes more cotton
than any other country in the world At the
present time ten bales used in this country
TO every seven used in England On the other
hand England has in operation about twice as
many spindles as the United States. In the re-
turns here quoted England is credited with
nearly 81 00OOO spindles and the United States
with only a few more than 26,000,000.
This disparity is easily accounted for. The
average fneness of the yarn spun in England
exceeds that of the American product A large
proportion of the new mills erected in the
United States in the last ten or fifteen years
have manufactured rather heavy goods and
heavy cloth demands coarse thread Whether
