CHEAP LABOR PROVES DEAR.
himself. The public is now waitiDg
to see how Gen. Shatter will dodge
the harpoon aimed at him by Gen.
Greely.
A charge of verdancy would hard
ly lie against young Hobson. At
the same time it must be admitted
that he is attracting considerable at
tention at Santiago by blowing out
the gas.
Cheap labor is seldom economical
labor. A few years ago, when the
war between Japan and China
brought the victorious Japanese to
the center of the world's stage, many
an airy prediction was heard about
the wonderful invasion these clever
little Orientals were going to make
ib the markets of the worlJ. It was
said they would make bicycles so
cheat) that the American factories
would be driven into bankruptcy
But the Japanese bicycle has not yet
appeared in the United States.
It was also said that the Japanese
were so cunning at imitation that the
American markets would be filled
with chean watches made in the
rmaint land of the mikado. Now
a
comes Consul General Gowey, form
erijr of this state, and present consul
general at Yokohama, with a report
to the state deDartment that watch
making in Japan has proved a failure.
Though the Japanese wages are from
20 to 25 cents a day, as against $3
for the America workman, it is said
that ten of the latter can do work
which would require from seventy to
eighty Japanese.
Ten American mechanics would
receive $30 per day, and the eighty
Japanese would receive $20 per day
But it costs more to provide working
quarters for eighty men than for ten,
and the item of superintendence is
also greater with the larger number.
So, after all, it has been found thai
it costs as much to build a watch in
Japan as in the United States, and
when the timepieces are made, the
Japanese imitation will not command
?,?93 a Price
' ""The American workman earns his
superior wages. His extraordinary
energy counts. He can beat cheap
labor at every turn in the road.
Spokesman Review.
It the report be true that the Czar
suggests a revision of the Dreyfus
case, he is a better friend of France
than is President Faure. It is under
stood that the president was the one
obstacle which prevented the Brisson
Cabinet from having the case re
opened several weeks ago. His
hostility, too, was one of the influ
ences which helped to overthrow
that ministry. Events in the past six
months in France show that the presi
dent of that cauntry is not so abject
ly weak officially as some of the
writers on the French constitution
imagined. Faure's great and good
friend Nicholas, however, advises
wisely. France will have no quiet
ness, and deserves none, until Drey
fus sets a trial which will meet the
world's sense of justice.

The government's determination
to send a few war-ships to Havana
harbor is wise. The presence of two
or three of Sampson's and Schley's
fighting vessels in that quarter will
quicken the Spaniards movements
toward evacuation. December 1st,
the day set apart for the complete
American occupation of Cuba, is
about a month away, and there is
danger that the Spaniards will forget
that that day of reckoning is so near
unless they are reminded of It early.
Cervera's conquerors in the harbor
of Havana would warn Blanco that
something in which Spain is vitally
concerned has happened in the past
few months.
Realizing that they were about to
fee confronted by an unusually severe
winter, the Indians of the Northwest
