JAPAN's DILEMMA.
Chicago Tribune.

Unreasonable as the attack on the
Japanese ministry is in many respects
II came near overthrowing it this week.
The furore raised by the patriots and
the advocates of low taxes was SO
great that a vote of censure in the
lower house of the diet was defeated
by a bare majority. 1t is uncertain
whether the government will be able
to command majority for its budget,
which contemplates a total expendl-
ture for the next fiscal year of S30s, co.
900. This would be nothing for the
United States; it is a great burden
for Japan. The industrial depr ssion
which Is visiting Europe and America
has reached Japan. 1t will intensity
the distress which is being caused by
taxation carried to the extreme. Japan
has not now, and will not have for
some time to come, money or le sure
for war. The manufacturers, merchants
and farmers win have all they can do
to provide the money to take care Of
the national debt, pay the ordinary ex-
penses of the government and the ex-
traOrdinary expenses Incident to the
pacitication of Corea and Formosa,
those troublesome Japanese possessions.

AS IN TEE DAYS or OLD.

Years ago, when this community fell
into the clutches OF crowd OF graft
ers. public morals fel so low that
mass-meetings were called to protest
against the conditions that prevailed
under official sanction Tho better ele-
ment was aroused to the fact that 1t
had been deceived by the anti Nor
mon" aeitators into delivering the city
over to advance agents of per lition.
We are reminded OF that dark chap
ter in the history of the City by the
fact that an appeal is again being
made. this time to the women of the
city, to rally and organize for the pur-
pose OF making fight for social
purity We have no doubt the women
will respond to the call; nor that the
men win aid them in their efforts I'm
this direction,
Many reforms are needed in this
City, but the most important, the foun-
dalton for all others, is a better OBJ
servance of the laws relating to sun
day closing The violation of these
laws has become menace TO the home.
Many Sunday amusements result in
the separation Of parents and children
on the only day when the father can be
with his family. y prominent church
man recently said: The apostles say
that In the last days men will be with
out natural affection 1t is appalling
to see how much less family affection
there is today when compared to the
days when Home, Sweet Home
was written. Here is prac-
teal issue We must protect
Sunday observance for God and for
home; that must be our inspiration
our battle cry. And il we have TO bear
the 'reproach of Christ in this standing
out as witnesses for Christ, the re-
proach itself becomes our glory and the
sure token that our religious life is u
reality"
This is well said. If Sunday can be
rescued from those who profane it.
there is hope of victory in the battle
against the saloon, the gambling hell,
and other dens OF vice. but communi-
ty without regard for the Lords day
will naturally become a modern Sodom.

THE GROWING FLEET.
St. Louis Times.

While the main body of the Ameri-
can navy IS rounding the southern CON
tinent q new fleet comes into heing.
out on the west coast the California
has taken her trials with great sue
cess. On the Atlantic side, thu Mis-
sissippi. New Hampshire and Idaho are
being prepared for commission. Then
there is to be no forgetting the Michi-
gan and the South Carolina, anon :
the battleships in course of construc-
ton, and the North Carolina and Mon
tana as monster armored cruiser of a
type not much represented in our navy.
Admiral Evans is making q fine sail
Ing record. The shipyards are filling
the places left vacant on the east side
Of the nation. The past is rich in story
of prowess in battle. Time was when
there was not a great deal of world
respect for the American navy-the
shopkeeper sailors-but the situation
has changed since 1898 and continues
to change.

TO Intensity the business depression
here and to spread financial alarm.
AZ that time the country's circulating
medium, amounting In oil to si.78o. 900, :
600. contained s6Ol0Oo.OOO gold and $780,
100000 government notes redeemablc in
gold at the treasury. The government.
had stopped paying gold for its own
expenditure, and quiet boarding
movement had been the result When,
therefore. the export OF gold became
heavy the banks were compelled to
obtain the necessary gold from tho
treasury through redemption Of these
notes. But as the Trcasury's $500 O00,
600 gold reserve against the notes wae
already greatly impaired. this process
7usei great unensiuess.
Today however the country's money
regulation IS SO O1ooOO,O0o OF which ST.
so10 600 or IS per cent, is gold IN
1894 only 90 per cent of a smaller total
the country's money was gold. In
1884, there we're 100000 900 in govern
ment notes outstanding. and now there
are but $3.50 100000.
The result is that there is less power
to draw gold from the government re-
scrves today than there was In 1894
and there is less necessity for doing
So
Moreover, the Treasury today has
$50 coo 900 on hand with which to re-
deem its notes, as against from $685.

THE VOICE OF ANARCHY.

The assassination of the King an
Crownprince of Portugal was a trag
edy that caused gloom everywhere, an,
especially among the friends OF liberty
and progress who know that evil can
not be productive of good. But there
seems 10 be class of human beings
Z who rejoice In crime and neglect no
opportunity OF endorsing even assassi-
nation.
According to reports four hundred Of
this class gathered in Chicago to gloat
over the reglcide at Lisbon. The speak
ers at that meeting urged more assassl-
nations. The report of the language
used sounds almost Incredible One OF
the speakers is said to have endorsed
the murder of President Mckinley and
deplored that the Queen OF Portugal
did not meet the fate of her unfortu-
nate husband. This monster in human
form continued;
II am with the mob. | would like to
go out right now with the mob behind
me and Kill every policeman on the
streets and throw their bodies into the
lake, like so many dead fish. 1 could
go out right now and rob every store
and kill right and left"
In his rawlings he turned against his
own mother He said:
MY mother was a liar when she
taught me to be honest and not to
steal The preacher was liar when
he told me to believe in God. They
are all liars The whole society Is a
mass of liars.'
1t Is needless To say that the public
proclamation of such doctrines Is
menace 10 the country 1t is probably
true that those who preach them are
foreigners who never learned how
to make an honest living and
who prey upon society in varl-
Gus ways. They are fellows who,
In the battle for their own
worthless existence, hesitate at 40
crime, But II is equally true that their
agitation has It's effects upon others,
and that, unless they are curtuued In
their work the entire social structure
may become endangered.
II is a lamcntube fact that murder
GUS tendencies are becoming more ana
more prevalent all over the clvilizco
world In Russia the reyolutlonists
murder the representatives. Of the gov
eminent rob the banks aud tcrror2e
the ruling classes. Similar conditions
may be observed In other countries
though The chaos has not become avs
apparent as there. The red rag Is
being unfoded boldly and declama-
tions are heard on every side against
law order and property rights. What
is TO be done?
In this country we need 10 return tc
first principles, II cannot be denied
that tho people generally have been
aroused 10 the fact that popular gov
eminent Is IN danger; that there is O
struggle for the possession Of the scep-
ter between the people ANA the Napo.
Icons OF finance II Is this fact that
emboldens anarchy Let there be re-
