"A glance at his HES work will give

When he went to the Northwest at the
beginning Of the war. It was vast
stretch Of prairie, from the Mississippi
to the Missouri and beyond to the Rock

his ecclesiastical province grow from the

crowns the summit hill Of st. Paul.
And from the first group Of pioneers, in

Japan, or Nippon, was little
known, or noticed by the white
races Of the world before the mid
die of the last century. The Jap
anese constitute a very interest
ing and important branch of the
Monaghan race; but at what pc
Rod the emigration from the con
tinent took place, to COLOMBO the
islands now known as the . Is
land Kingdom, is unknown. In
fact. we have known very much
more of the Chinese and Turks
more of the Tartars, Lapps and
Eskimos; all the same race, than
we have Of the Nipponese, or as
we now name them, the japanese.
But within the last fifty years,
the "Little Brown Men have
sprung to the front, and challeng-
ed the attention of the world in
many remarkableways. We have
found them living in homes, do
nestle, moral, Industrious, eco
nomical, aud hardy, with great
endurance, though a rice eating
people. In loyalty to their coun-
try and its institutions, their EN-
epror and heads of the various
national departments, they excel
all other nations of the earth.
What of their religionY Well, ]
believe, If my memory serves me
correctly, that they have about
three thousand gods. while we
have only three. or course the
Japanese have a tremendous
choice of deities, but ! do not
think we should throw the matter
in their faces for one good reason
at least, because our English an
cestors were cannibals, and were
too far brutalized to have con
ception of deity of any kind.
These little brown people have
a good army and good navy,
and know how to use them to the
best possible advantage. These
little folks drove the Russian bear
back to its eternal SHOWS, and the
bear has been alternating till
now. But the bear has awoke
from its long sleep and says to ia
pan: "If | cant whip you, can
whip your peaceable old mother
China. This was something
like the young man who was
soundly beaten by another young
man, saying, Darn you, if !
cant whip you, can make up
faces at your sister" and went
away with skin full of sore
bones. But what about the scape
goat: ! shall come to that in good
time. Russia does not wish ia
pan TO help China in the war
about to be declared against the
"Flowery Kingdom, and she
does not wish the Il. S. A. to pro-
test against her robbing China of

with 100000 square miles Of ter.
ritory. Russia has produced and
still produces great diplomats.
Declaration number one, and
persisted in for years, stands as
follows: Japan wants the Phil
pine Islands, and must have them,
as her population of forty-fve
million crowds her islands to the
utmost capacity, and the Phil
pines will be most convenient for
the overflow and rapid increase
of her people. AS soon as she re-
covers from the war with the
"Holy Empire" Japan will make
war on the u. 5. A.
Declaration number two is as
follows: Japan wants the Ha-
waiian Islands. Located in mid
Pacific, they would become the
Gibralter for Japan's navy, and
an ideal base of operation for an
attack ON the PHILIPPINE Islands,
on the Panama canal now APP
preaching completion.
Declaration number three is as
follows: Japan has formed an
alliance with Mexico, and has Sc
cured coaling station at Magda-
lena Bay, on the Pacific coast Of
Mexico, for convenience in at
lacking the Panama Canal.
Declaration number four is as
follows: All the little irritating
assertions calculated to make
trouble between Japan and the L.
s. That Japan is very much Of
Tended at the treatment in the L.
S.That Japan is greatly strength
ening her navy. That Japan has
purchased an immense supply OF
rice in the U. S. to feed her sol
diers while fighting the L. s.
Our government has repeated
ly declared that her relations
with japan were never more cor
dial than at present. The gov
eminent of Japan has just as re-
peatedly declared that there is
not a grain of truth in any of
these stories, except large pur-
chase of rice, on account OF a
short crop in the islands. That
the relations between the two ma
tions were entirely harmonious.
and that no possible ground ex-
listed for friction between the L.
S. and Japan. And yet there are
serious grounds to fear that Rus
STA will succeed in her designs
against Manchuria. Up to this
