OVR DVTY TO THE ORIEXT.
It is now thirt3--seven yr3 since
William II. Seward, as secretary rf
, , . j
" stale, gave these instructions Id ear
minister to-Japan: "Will yoil by j
an equal, Justj and honorable dontluct
of your missio', make the people of
Japan respect not only the institu
tions of your own country but the
institutions of Christianity ond west
ern civilization." Our new duty to
the Orient could not be better ex
pressed in one sentence than in the
words of the great statesman who
during the most critical period of our
history filled the office now held by
John Hay.
In 1861 Japan was more civilized
in its way than the Philippines are
now, but it would be difficult to con
ceive a more difficult national task
than the removal of the prejudice
that the island empire then felt
toward the institutions of Christianity
and western civilization. The object
which our minister was ordered to
keep in view and the end toward
which he was to work seemed remote
in the extreme. But the instructions
given were followed. No pains were
spared to influence the people of
Japan through just and honorable
treatment. Astonishing results were
obtained. Japan is now reckoned
among the civilized nations. Chris
tianity has been accepted and is the
religion of many thousands of the
people, especially in the more intel
ligent class, and our general western
civilization is making prodigious
strides forward. Japan is now our
next-door neighbor in the far East,
and nothing could induce her people
to go back to the conditions which
prevailed before the Amencan gov
ernment ordered Commodore Perry
to compel the Japanese government
to open the port of Yokohama to the
commerce of the world.
What Perry began statesmanship
carried forward. What Dewey made
possible statesmanship must make
actual. Diplomacy has very nearly
completed its part in .defining the
Jincs within which our duties must be
done in the Orient of today. The
rest must be accomplished by the
American administrator, the Ameri
can sckool teacher, the American
merchant, and the American mission
ary. They are the men on whom
lies the burden of fulfilling the duty
of our civilization to that part of the
1 1 - uli w '.eh destiny lias east

They are arresting girls in Luzon,
U. S. A., for carrying concealed
cameras. Why the girls should con
ceal them it is .lifficult to explain
How tbey can conceal them, if the
pictures of Luzon girls we see in the
papers are faithful, is a mystery.
Eugland seems to be well pleased
with the president's message. We
find it less difficult than formerly to
please England. The times have
changed. Also the conditions.
It seems sad that France should
continue to be wrapped up in local
troubles when there are so many op
portunities afforded her of doing
mischief abroad.
( Euiope, generally speaking, is
reconciled to American expansion.
Just as a man who has the dyspepsia
becomes reconciled to it, sometime?.

pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease tbnt science has been

What is tbe. use of making a better
article than your competitor il yon can
riot get a better price for HT
Ans.Aa there la ho difference in the
price the public will buy only the. better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single scale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the publfc to know
yonr-makeis the best?
Ii both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them aod use enly the
better one.

berlain's Cough remedy. Tbe people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. Tbey may occasionally take np
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs,
colds and croup there is nothing equal
to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For
sale by Blakeley & Houuhton.
