Peanut Market in Japan.

(Japan Advertiser, Jan. 2%, by Consul
 General George II. ScidmurcD
 Owing to the rich crop of peanuts last autumn, the market was over stocked toward the end of last year and tho price fell to a marked de- gree. In the new years market, how ever, a reaction has come, the pro- duCcrS insisting upon fair price.
 What has prompted tins improV- ing tendency in the new year Is, or course, the condition of the Ameri- can market. It appears that tho market was oNcrStoCkcd last year on account of decrease in demand, and the importers were quite reserved in their attitude; but at the end of the year the better part of the old stock was sold, and tho American buyers have now commenced to place new orders, though these orders are yet for limited amounts, But the pro- NuccrS and brokers have now grown optimistic as to the future prospect. It is, however, a strange fact that owing to their optimism and strong attitude on insisting upon fair prices, few contracts have recently resulted, despite an OCCa SiOnal offer from the American market, there being a diff terence between lhClr oiler and or dcrcd prices. In this connection, it is to be noted with concern that the Chinese peanuts arc rather cheaper this year than tho Japanese product, and the American market may turn to the Chinese market for supply. At present the quotations are higher than those which ruled at the end of last year by about l5 per cent. They arc, per 100 pounds, as follows: Superior, hloachcd, $2.66; ordinary. blca chcd, S2.i9; superior, washed, $40; ordi- nary, washed, $2.39; superior non washed, $2.49; superior, shelled, $2.&2.
 The prospect for the future is quite encouraging in general, it being the impression that the opening of the fair in San Francisco would no doubt call forth more brisk demand for this

sustained it would still be necessary to repeal it. If the law should be annulled in year or two there would have run up a great bill of interest, and d greater bill of public inconVen- fence. If the contractors should de- eide that they would not proceed until their situation was made clear, it would arouse great resentment, not against them, but against the unions. The idea that mon able and willing to bay wages on contracts for S1hO, ,OOO,- GOO should be prevented from doing sc m these hard times is offensive 10 humane sentiments
 Americans will not dc the work at any price. The price American labor commands ought not to be paid for work of this coarse sort If contrac- tors wcr" willing to submit to this du- ross rather than incur greater loss trey ought to resist on public grounds. The outcry which would follow the stopping of the work which would fellow the stopping of tn" work IS what is needed tu arouse the lcgiSla- turc and the governor to an appre- ciation Of the situation. And when the work of repeal begins it may bo difficult to stop it at just the right Place. This law expresses extreme sympathy for labor. If it's effect is to cause a rcVusion from that scnh- mcnt, other laws might go also. Why enact workmCn's compensation laws and other like statutes in favor of q class WhiC Intakes so much more than the law can or ought to give?
 This victory over which counsel so rcjOiCCS may prove the CoStlicSt thing labor ever bought. The millions which it is said the contractors will lose will prove more than an equal gain to the city and the state if the result is to give access tO q fair labor market. On tho other hand. if events take the course counsel indicates. it f. sure that labor will lose many more millions through the check placed upon public works The decision is not to he regretted if il brings this matter to a crisis, and causes its just settlement That ought to b ethe re- suit. and the unions ought to be thanked. in that sense. for bringing the public to see how unreasonable and unjust "la Dor" is under the guid- anCc Of such rouble-makcrs.

If They Want Farm Wo"k They Can
 Get IT.
(NCW ' Ork Sun. ]

'4\tN l 'i IA Foull.
 Surely no plan that has been pro- posed for inc relief of the uncmplOycd has met with hcartier approval than that which Contcmplates the tilling of the soil by those who term them selves "hOboes" and declare that they are willing to work If the opportunity is given to them. Moreover, this is the appropriate season for them to commence tGcir labors as agriculture iSts; throughout a large section of the country ploUghing and seeding will soon begin, and there is need Of every acre that can Dc put in culti- Vation
 But there is no reason why the president of the United States should be called upon to set aside public lands for improvement by these well advertised self-Stylcd unfortunatcS, nor is there any excuse why public funds should be expended on them. If they arc willing to work as they say they arc, the farmers of New Eng land. of New York, of PcnnsN lvania, of Illinois, of the northern states gen crally, will give them n rhanrc to do everything they want 10 do. without intervention of governmental depart mCnt, bureau or commission.
 Against the SOmbrc background of the winter suffering, the Hotel de Gink and it's inmates have shown an occasionally amusing glow. The time for nonsense is HhUut over now. If these mon want work on the farm they can get it: and if they do not, II is time they should descend from the heights tn which sociology has raised them to the crude ClaSSifieat ion supplied by the penal law.

Winter Flowers.
tBN J. <. Feb. 27.)

(5y J. <. Feb. 27) My eyes fell from a trolley car Upon the depot park. And met a sight, which seems to me Is worthy Of remark. The circling hedge which does adorn The grounds and carriage drive, Was fairly full of winter flowers Which in the cold did thrive. The blossoms were quite numerous, No one could wish for more, Such showy flowers. I dare to say Were seldom seen before. No larger flowers are often found In story or In song. They were full twenty inches wide And moro than twenty long. Mixed black and white they were i'll

 But looked like white instead; And probably there was time When all of them were read. They did not have pleasing form, would such flowers were rare. The "linc of beauty" they had not They were an oblong square. some flowers were blooming near the
 ground
 Others were blooming higher. l wish that they were red again And rCddencd by a fire. Someone 1 blame, had fed the wind, Which in it's playful hours, Had fixed upon the depot hedge Those showy paper flowers.

The Manifold Appeals for Giving
Springfield Republican,

tSprlngfcld kcpuhliCan.)
 The national association of Audu- hon societies for the protection of wild birds and animals finds it's rCgu- lar subscriptions falling away, be- CauS" of the stress Of tho times, and jt appeals for special help in order that the cause of bird protection may not go backward in the legislatures or through the undermining of laws already enacted by congress or In the states. Those who can spare more money will be expected to respond to this appeal, and every member of the association should be especially watchful in his locality against any rcactionary movements in legislation. In this way no real ground needs to be lost, even though the funds of the "S:'uciation may shrink for the time.
 The situation in which the Audu- bon societies find themselves Is d com mOnplacc one at this time. The mails arc full of statements of need and re quests for assistance from philAn- thropir and educational work. This riVdrnCe of the Characterization which has grown out of the war in Europe is never ending in it's flow.

The .1Iicn Labor Law.

The counsel for the uniOnists who have temporarily stopped work upon the subwaNs bN the enforcement of a forgotten statute says: "While mil lions of dollars may be lost by the con- tractors on the SubWaNS, that loss will be gained by American citizens v That idea of gain to tho UnlonlStS through loss to others will ruin unlon- ism if they do not chang" their prar- ticc and their professions.

The Stoddard bill to have the state temporarily withhold aid for town schools is in line with the advocated policy of Governor Holcomb. in one of his messages to the lcgisC1aturc 1t is figured that it would save for the state $1 ,60O,00 and perhaps more That is while saving that amount for the state it would impose upon the towns the necessity for raising each for itself such portions of this amount as they continue to spend. Whether that would be easier than to pay it indirectly will probably never be known, for it is not believed this measure stands any better chance of becoming a law than similar measure would which had for it's object the withholding of state support form the various city and county hospitals Times.
