called from this life to eternity at
$40 n. m. Sunday, September 12.
He was 1G years, 3 months and 10
days OF age.
He had much depth and courage
and in all seemingness there was a
great future-before him. His nature
was noble and generous, OF high
nervous temperament, It followed

such a control that except on rare
occasions he ever gave vent to 1t, hut
these few occasions were enough to
cause him to he misunderstood and
which inflicted much plan
and suffering upon him during his
last years of life.
But he nobly and honoraibly bore
his burden, being too proud to beg

and with all the generosity of his
deep young nature, he poured out
his affections upon thefew who knew
aud understood him. He died in the
Iriumphs of Christian love and with
the martyrs stands in glory.

old Japan They represent the conditions the empire and under which Japan is now paying its big taxes and carrying on its mighty public improvements. At the same time the new civilization is bringing In new wants and new customs. The big army which went to Manchuria contained hundreds of thousands of mechanics. While abroad they were fed to some ex- tent on foreign food, they had foreign [,hoes and clothes of foreign cut. They &C., quired certain habits, which, in contrast with their simple lives, were extravagant and they have brought back innovations to all parts of Japan. They want more than they have ever wanted before; and it is probable that they will demand high CT wages. If such changes continue they will gradually ask for all that the Amer ican laborer now gets: and it Is a ques- ton whether their country will stand the strain.
 At present prices are higher than they have ever been, and the taxes are heav- fer. Everything pays a duty and the necessities of life cost more than ever be- fore. Rice Is now selling at over N.50 bushel, barley at more than 8, and wheat at about s2.50 per bushel Chickens are sold by the kwan, which is little more than eight pounds, are also fish and meat Chickens bring SIPS per kwan, in Kyoto, or over 15 cents a pound. Ducks sell for more, and salted trout for about the same.

 Offices Blg-Salaries Small
 The same policy of small wages pre- vails throughout the government The Emperor himself has a civil list of about a million and a half dollars a year, and he has refused to accept more on account of the hard times. although the people have requested him to do so His cabi- net ministers are paid much less than ours The premier receives less than 5000 year, and the minister of state SSOOo The chief of the railways is paid $250O the governor general of Formosa 5000 and the resident general of Seoul the same. The foreign amba ssadors get $25OO year, with from s11,0Oo to s15000 for entertain ing, and the foreign ministers less. The ordinary consul general has from $900 to $1250 per annum and an allowance. The judges get little, their salaries ranging from 5000 to $2600, and the university pro- fessors are in the same category. The admiral of the Japanese navy and the general-in-chief of the army receive only $30O0 a year, and a rear admiral gets about S1700. A colonel in the army has less than $1200, a major little over $60O and a captain $42l. These are far below the amounts paid in our country, where a cabinet minister gets four times as much, or $l2,OOO and other salaries are proportionately high It should be said. however that many of the high officers of the government have official residences furnished by the Emperor, with special fund for entertaining

could he have been provided with a fleet equal to the American in efficiency. ha might have been able and ready to fight us again. in q struggle which would in- deed have been battle royal No Amer ican who fought Pascual Cervera, or who knew him after his defeat, will underrate his worthiness to have been pitted against our own best captains, or will withhold a genuine tribute of respect to the Span- ish admirafs memory.
 Perhaps. however, the demand should have been to exchange not fleets alone, but nations. Ship for ship. Cervera's ves- sels were the equals of ours, of their class so far as they went. But they were hopelessly too few, and also they were lacking in the efficiency of discipline and practice which made the American fleet a thing of terror and destruction. The Spanish government and nation had neg lected to build an adequate navy and had failed to keep such as they had at con- cert pitch of drill and target practice. That was why their four fine ships, com- manded by gallant admiral, went to their doom without being able to strike a single effective blow at their destroyers. The American navy, on the other hand, had not only been increased in size, but also was in the full swing of discipline and drill and target practice.
 That is the lesson of Cerveras tragedy, which his own country may or may not have learned, but which 1t would be crim- inal for his conquerors to neglect. The gen. jus of Nelson, a Dundonald or Far ragut is still potent, but 1t is not omnip- otent; and more now than ever in the history of the world naval supremacy de- bends not upon single great captain, but upon number and equipment of ships and discipline and efficiency of the men be- hind the guns. That truth was made plain at Santiago. and 1t was repeated with unanswerable emphasis in the Co., rean Strait. Any nation might well be proud to own Pascual Cervera; but the only entirely fitting way ia which 1t could show its pride and its appreciation of him would be in providing him with ships and sailors worthy of his command W
