If Japan conquers the Colossus of the North, the hitherto dreaded giant of unknown power, will she not jastly feel that she can cope on equal terms with the other great world powers, and feel that, in a war with any of them, except, possibly, England, she has at least an even chaDce of victory 1 The ultimate fighting strength, counting one in five of her population of over forty-five million people, will give her an army of nine millions, and with Ihe twenty-two millions in Manchuria and Korea to draw from for auxiliary forces, coolie labor aiding iu transportation, building fortifications, and making intrenchmente, she now appears as formidable in the Orient,, where, through distance alone she will be difficult to reach by an attacking force. Owing to the fact that nations can not leave their cost entirely unprotected, no great power, except poseibly England, could send to Japanese waters a fleet in anyway comparable with that of the Mikado. The difficulties to be overcome in transporting even an army corps to the East, the long preparation necessary, and the dangers attendant on such a move, unless the attacking force controls the sea, would almost preclude the possibility of invasion. Should Japan feel the necessity for expansion at some future time, as she has felt it in the past, might she not think that she has strength enough to wrest the Philippines from us? These islands, owing to their great distance from our Pacific cost and their nearness to Japan, will always be a constant sourse of weakness to us, and, possibly, a constant temptation to her.

August Belmont, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit company, has tendered his resignation aB director of the Equitable society. Mr. Morton is now devoting himself largely to the work of reorganizing the board of directors. Farmer's Clnh. A few days ago a few farmers met at the home of a neighbor and organ ized a farmers' club. After the organization there was an informal talk on the cultivation of cotton in its early shape. The farmers who had tried the weeder a season or two were delighted with it. If it is run over the crop twice before it is thinned it makes the work lighter. It was suggested that the weeder should be used just as the cotton is coming up and again in a week. The object of the club is self improvement and the exchange of plans and methods of work. ThoBe who know it all, and the other class who wish to learn ? Our Buyer is always in sea] suit the wants oi of >ds trade, and ample cash enables us to giv d everything kept in a First Class Store tli treet J|a nothing, will not be acceptable members of the club.
