Frequently when the train stopped
people came in looking for accom-

required to sit close together on the
seats If necessary to make room for
others, while third and fourth class
must sit on the floor or even stand up
in order to make room.
There is very little jolting and not
much noise in connection with the
running, for the locomotive and ears
are like toys. and the rails they run
upon so heavy that they might easily
last a lifetime without perceptible

LODGE attacked THE
DEMOCRATIC HOUSE
DEM OCRATIC LEGISLATURE
CRIPPLED STATE DEPART
MENT, HE SAYS.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. Ex-senator
Lodge, after declp ing his pleasure in
addressing an Ohio gathering, told
of his long intimate friendship with
President Mckinley. His speech was
largely devoted to review Of the acts
Of the late congress.
"The Democratic tlouse,' he said,
determined to enter upon career Of
legislation and in order to secure thci"
legislation they adopted to an extent
never known in our history that most
vicious practice of attaching legis-
laton to appropriation bills, which
hitherto the rules OF both houses
have been carefully framed TO prevent.
They started out with the proposition
chat they wl~e going to make great
economies but when the final account
was made up it was found that the
economies all crippled those branch
es Of the government where there
were no votes and the eXtraVaganceS
in which they freely INDUCED were
poured out layishly where 1t was
thought that large sums from the
treasury would result in se"lring sup
port at the polls. The economies 9nd
extravagances alike We're determined
not by the interests Of the government
or the people but in every case by
the hope OF votes
The speaker asserted that the ac-
tions of the Democratic legislators
had crippled the State Department 10
effect saving of $4,000; that they
selected this year, when Mexico Is In
ferment Of revolution TO cut off five
cavalry regiments from the army;
that their economy had caused this
country to drop from second to third
place among the navies OF the world
with the Panama Canal on the point
of being opened and that their service
legislation threatened the disorgani7a-
ton of the service.
The democratic tariff measurcr
vetoed 10y President Taft. were criti-
cized by Senator Lodge. who con-
tinued:
But during the last few years an
other question, or rather a series ot
questions, have arisen, which far
transcend all others. because they in
volve the fundamental principles upon
which our government and our insti-
tutions rest. These questions have
been raised and violent constitutional
changes have been agitated and advo-
Gated by men Of all parties. This agi-
tation has divided opinion In the two
great parties, whether the division has
been openly declared or not. These
questions are fe- graver than any pos
sible question Of economics or admin
istration. II the proposed constitu-

they are lined with heavy masonry.
All platforms along the entire line
are constructed of stone or cement,
and all railroad buildings of conse-
quence are OF the same material with
an occasional one of steel. In every
station Of Importance there are public
latrines and a row of wash stands.
with large mirrors and plenty Of soap,
so you can turn a faucet and pocead
to wash with as much convenience as
If at your hotel, providing you carry
a towel. an article which no japanese
is without while travelling.
There are first and second class
carriages on all trains, but aside from
some having compartments, one could
not tell one car from another. In
the best cars there are but two seats,
one along each side of the car, SO i;
people were TO sit up straight-which
they don't-they would sit facing
each other, with their backs agatnsl
the windows, of which there are more
but smaller than in American ears.
The roofs aye so low that a very tall
hat on the head of a tall man woulu
brush the electric lamps, which by
the way are turned on most of the
time because Of the numerous tunnels.
All trains in Japan, are without pas
senger conductors for with the system
in vogue a conductor could be of no
use; for before one can get through
a station to board a fain, he must
show his ticket, which gate keeper
punches after which he is shown into
his car by porter, who also assists
him in getting his baggage aboard.
Once aboard, his ticket is not called
for again until he reaches his desti-
nation where he must present 1t be-
fore he can get through the gate lead
ing from the station. ] am told this
system is so perfect, that neithe
deadbeats nor ride-stealers can bea.
1t without landing in a japanese iai!,
of which 1t is said one visit Is suf-
ficient to convince the most hardened
Geadbeat that he had better walk 10
the ends Of the earth, than ride into
any such hotel again. The same sys-
TEN prevails in street cars. your ticket
Is punched, and tNen vru must keep
It until you are leaving the car. wher
II is given back to the conductor who
must return 1t to the station master
at the end of his run.
In place Of conductor there is a
passenger guard. who in our -ase
seemed to have nothing to do but
show himself once in a great while.
Upon our car were two uniformed

tional changes should be carried into
effect they would completely revolu-
tionize our system and theory or
government aSwe have known it since
the beginning Of our history.
1T Is now seriously proposed TO
make the courts despondent upon the
will Of a majority Of the votqs nj
any given moment-a majority which
may be flecting, temporary or @cci-
dental. The courts Of the United
states were made Independent by CIV
ing to those who sit upon the bench
tenure during good behavior, and
an independent judiciary has been, as
a whole, the great bulwark OF human
liberty. If you make your coTts sub
serylent to the will Of a majority ot
the voters at any given moment,
they're no more Independent tnati

"AIl the progress that has been
made in this country in fifty years
has been made by the Republican
party. The Republican party came
into being for the purpose Of Kidding
the land Of human slavery. To the
Republican party Is due the financial
credit Of the country, for II is the Re-
publican party which fought for the
payment Of the debts and which s,a-
tanned the gold standa-d. in recent
years, with the new questions that
have arisen, TO what party do We owe
the Sherman Act, the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the law stopping
rebates, the Pure Food law and every
other measure which has marked an
advance in government and progress,
in the protection Of the rights Of the
people? They are all alike due 20
the Republican party--tO Republican
Presidents and Republican Congress-
es. The Republican party has always
been the party of sane and rational
progress under the Constitution. 1t is
so today. A party can profit by its
victories and endure defeats II 1t Is
true to its principles, but when prin-
ciples are abandoned, victories are
worthless and defeats are ruin.
Parties come and 80, but principles
survive"

miles 10y railroad run of twelve
hours by the fast Japanese trains.
This road Is owned by the government
and firstclass ticket, which includes
a government transit tax ana accom-
mediation on the fastest express costs
$3.50; while second class fare upon
a train. perhaps two hours sloweg is
sold for $3.50.
There are also third and fourth
class rates with corresponding ac-
The latter rates tequire riding upon
very slow trains with conveniences,
such as could be supplied in America,
if benches without backs We're placed
in the poorer freight cars. The
price Of a sleeper is $500 first class
and $l.25 second class on this road;
but I am informed there Nre other
roads under private management,
where a first class sleeper costs $l50.
while a second class lower berth costs
thirty cents, the upper berth selling
at twenty cents, the traveller furnish
ing his own covering. What these
sleeping accommodations are like, We
can not say, as we decided in travel
trains in order to better see the
country, very fortunate resolution

This was our first ride of any length
on a japanese railroad, and as this
one is pretty much like all others
throughout the empire, a description
of it will suffice for all the Fest. In
the first place, the track is narrow
guage, the engine is small and the
coaches are smaller yet. One is sur
prised at the extreme lightness of the
cars. as well as the length Of the
trains which contain a great many
more cars than our heavy trains. Tho
light weight of the ears may be
judged by the fact, that frequently
along the sidetrack, YOU may see a
car with the trucks removed upon tho
ends of four empty IN barrels The
road bed Is excellent, having steel
bridges, 10 and cement culverts, Is

and overlaid with steel rails which ap-
pear as heavy as the heaviest on our
