Socialism In japan.

Socialism has no footing in this
country as yet, nor is there any indi.
cation that it will gain a footing in
the near future at all events. Prior to
the war with Russia a small coterie
of men calling themselves socialists
argued vehemently against the open
ing of hostilities and published a
newspaper organ to propagate their
creed. But they soon dwindled into
insignificance, and although a period
ical of so-called socialist views con-
tinues to be published it has no in
%fluence, o does it serve any purpose,
apparently, except to furnish material
for occasional comment on the part of
amused readers.-Japanese Weekly

The population of the Chinese en-

There has eve been such census Of
the empire as that which is
taken every decade in this country.
But the estimate of the Almanach de
Gotha for 1900 may be taken as fairly
reliable. According to that estimate,
the population of the empire is, in
round numbers, about 400, 900, 900. 1t

as there was nothing here. The argu-
ment put up was 80 persistent nd 60
strong that Mr.. and Mrs. Click con.
cluded that there must be something
wrong and that they would come
here and see for themselves. The
second day here they were shown
among others the Geo. A. Hamilton
orchard IN Fruitdsle and said without
hesitation that they had seen nothing
that compared with IL at Medford.
These people are not the first TO tell

are not on theImsp? Ii must be that
