NAMES REvENUE AS A STATE.
wArERvILLE, Me-, Jan. Z tspecial)-
Hon. william T. Hainss, OF this city, who
Il an announced candidate for the repub-
,;cau nomination for governor, was seen
hv a reporter OF the Kennehec Journal
to-day, and asked II he had any obiec-
tiop to stating his position upon the sub
isct OF taxation and State expenses, as it
il at this time attracting great attention,
and later will be a matter which will be
discussed from the stump and in the press.
Mr.. Haines replied:
.sTbis is a subject which the people are
always interested in, but there has been
40 much demagogism connected with it
that I have hesitated about making any
statement for publication relative to it.
T have noticed that most tax-reformers,
candidates for Office, make it point to
appeal to the prejudice OF some special
class or interest. As = rule, the tax-re-
former has scheme for taxing "the other
fellern. My own ideas about taxation in
Maine might not accord with the average
tax-reformer's.

county court house plans come
up for consideration once again

plans submitted at that time it
might be good if the commits

MONEY AND INDUSTRY.

Money and industry naturally go
hand in hand. and 1t is most reasona-
BILE to expect that with plentiful
supply of money, the time will be
brief before there is active business.
From bank statements covering
New York. Boston and Philadelphia,
il is evident that money is normally
plentiful and what is still more to
the point. loan rates are practically
as low as they usually are in the
most prosperous times.
All that is lacking is a more COM
plete restoration of public confidence,
and this cannot be generally looked
for ahead of the resumption of man
ufacturing industries, as confidence
in the future is not strengthened by
men and women forced out of paying
employment by lack of business to
operate the several industries in
which they gain a livelihood.
It is largely these identical people
now out of employment who made
the financial troubles much more Sc
rious than the inevitable industrial
adjustment to a more level basis
demanded, as they are the ones who,
at the first note of warning, rushed
to the bank and withdrew their de-
posits and hid them away, creating
a money stringency, the shock OF
which brought on financial panic
Now, with confidence partly restored
their money has gone back to the
banks, but the effect of hasty action
has, in sense. forced thousands OF
them into longer or shorter periods
! of idleness.

and carefully starting up manufac-
turing. confident of the money situa.

SCOUTS IDEA
OF TROUBLE
Distinguished Japanese.
Familiar with Both
Countries, is Optimistic

NEW YORK, Feb. Declaring
that all talk of trouble between this
country and Japan is the outgrowth
of pernicious fabrication on the
part of sensational newspapers, Wis
count Kentaro kaneko. special am
bassador to the United States from
Japan during the Russian-Japanese
war. has written reply to letter
addressed him by Henry Clews. in
which Mr. Clews under date of De-
cember ) last, expressed the hope
that no difficulties might arise be-
tween the two countries which could
not be readily and amieably adjust
ed
Viscount kaneko, whose elevation
to his present position as adviser to
Japan's emperor on all things in
America. came close upon the heels
of the close of tne struggle with Rus
STA, is one of the elder statesmen of
the empire. During General Grants
first term he was member of a COM
mission sent here to study American
finance. Marquis Ito was the head
of this commission. and Henry Clews
acted as friendly adviser, at the sug-
gestion of President Grant.
The answer TO Mr.. Clews' letter,
which sas sent whe., renorts of i'm
pending trouble with Japan were nu-
merous, is as follows:
My Dear Mr. Clews. Your kind
letter of December 5 reached me
frtrr 1rt- \ R.,ss x.1.r
obliged to you for your hearty con-
graduation ON my recent advance
ment to higher rank for a modest
service which | was able to render
my emperor and my country during
the late war.
In performing the duties which
were intrusted to me during my So
journ in your country what little |
was able to accomplish was due to
the encouragement and assistance
which the friends in America gave
me and in this connection | assure
you that you share the largest part
of it,
'You mentioned about the social
ed strained relations between Amer
lea and Japan 1t is really PERM
newspapers, and | am glad that you
seem to believe it to be so. So far
as | am aware, there is nothing of
serious nature automatically pend
ing between the two countries.
1t is absolutely groundless. there
fore, even to imagine, as some alarm
lists would have us believe, that there
may be "A possible disruption of the
friendship which has been cemented
so firmly ever since this country was
introduced by America to the family
of civilized nations in the world. /
assure you that every one of our peo-
pie on this side of the Pacific is
keenly alive to the gratitude We owe
YOU, and / think 1t most remarkable
that nobody in this empire seems to
entertain even to the slightest de-
gree, any apprehension of breach
of the friendship. Such thing
never comes INTO our head.
Again thanking you for your
courtesy. Sincerely yours,
'.KENTARO KANkKO."

Hickey bank sailed under false

this principle come to grief. 1t

mate. A fair rate of irf@rest

II won't do, that II is impossible to

In report made to the municipal
council by Colonel G. ID. Bruce. the
captain-superintendent of the watch.
The council has indorsed his view
and lot of Shanghai people are very
much wrought. up about Il, saying
that 1t is blot on Shanghai's fair
scutcheon, this admission that the re-
sources of civilization have been ex-
hausted in the treatment of wrong
mined natives.
Recently there have been a num-
ber of cases of acid throwing in the
streets. They were not followed by
attempted robbery or other crime,
but appeared to be, as Colonel Bruce
reported. "either isolated instances
OF willful hooliganism or mere prac-
tice In the art of acid throwing"
The watch committee" Colonel
Bruce says, ''is aware that I have
more than once referred to the diff
ficulty, IL not the impossibility, of
keeping the criminal classes here In

corporal punishment.
ITO show that my argument has
reason, II is only necessary to remind
the watch committee that the Chi
nese authorities whose jurisdiction
surrounds the settlement make daily
use OF the bamboo. and this, al
though these same authorities have
forbidden It's use by the magistrate
at the mixed court.
"The watch committee will per-
haps recall a case during the last

"The only means OF preventing the
inception OF crimes like acid throw
ing, is in my opinion, corporal pun
ishment: the cangue freely used Is
the next best punishment, though
far behind"
The cangue is big wooden col

frame on wheels. which the prisoner
has to tote around while other per-
sons, II they choose to do so, pelt
him with anything they have handy;
in other words. the cangue Is sort
