THE OPPOSITION'S FAILURE.
We most cheerfully report the
fact that 14 a public reception was
tendered the Independent members
of the Legislative Assembly last
Saturday evening." These gentle
men must feel a deal of honorable
pride in the approbation of their con
stituency. And now that the session
has adjou-ned sine die, it iseminently
proper that these heroes should be
decorated with laurels, and that this
community should feel the salvation
of the country can be attributed to
their efforts. It would be an invid
ious critic indeed, who, perusing, the
record of the Assembly, should in
quire, "What have they accom
plished?"
"What conquests ' bring they
home?''
'"What tributaries follow them to
Home to grace in captive bonds their
chariot wheels?"
Is their triumphal car decorated
with the gory corpses of their politi
cal foes, and does the Cabinet, with
bowed heads and fettered hands,
march under the yoke? In fine,
wherein does their victory lie?. )Ve
cannot say. We fear that there has
been a great deal of ammunition
wasted for very little game.
A good, healthy, energetic opposi
tion is a benefit to any Government.
But while it should be earnest and
persistent, everything that might be
construed as personal animosities
weakens it. Herein lies the failure
of the Opposition, It had ample ma
terial to work upon, but it neglected
the real issues of the fight to fritter
away its strength in malignant per
sonal attacks. It kept hammering
away at the members of the Cabinet
to the neglect of the assailable
measures of that body. Therefore, at
the end of the session it stands just
where it did at the beginning. It
has shown, its disposition to make a
winning fight, but it has lacked the
ability for the contest. It presents
the appearance, not of a victorious,
but a defeated army, and the ovations
its friends may shower upon it, can
not aiter this fact. Yet the foe stood
altogether upon the defensive. The
Opposition had its own time to plan
campaigns and lead assaults. It was
not harassed by any" skirmishing on
the part of the enemy. And all the
public receptions in the world, all
the congratulatory phrases, and tri
umphal cheers cannot put any other
face on the legislative record of
"His Majesty's Loyal Opposition."
THE BATTLE OF THE BILLS.
The report of the Committee on
Street Railway Bills was adopted in
last Tuesday forenoon's session of the
Legislature, and the Austin bill was
ordered engrossed. Mr. Dole's mo
tion to insert the name of Wilson in
stead of Austin iu the latter bill cer
tainly displayed no lack of modesty.
Mr. Dole's bill, drawn by him for Mr.
Wilson, was thrown out, but the
honorable gentleman had no hesita
tion in attempting to capture the
Attorney-General's bill for his client,
Mr. Wilson. The attempt was a de
lightfully cool exhibition of gall, and
almost deserved to be successful for
the very audacity of its conception.
Judge Widemann's speech on those
bills was the feature of the session.
It was sharp, logical, and cut right
into the heart of the business. He
gave the Dole-Wilson bill a brilliant
scoring, and boldly told the talented
leader of the Opposition that he had
-I
not hesitated
to insert a section in
that bill which was in direct antag
onism to the laws of the country. A
street railroad is a necessity in this
city; but the franchise must be givesi
to those who will conscientiously take
the matter in hand, and not peddle it
to the highest bidder. We believe
the passage of the Austin bill, behind
which Mr.. Flowerdew stands, is a
positive benefit to this community.
It does not contain an objectionable
section. It will be the means of
bringing a large amount of foreign
capital here, and there will be no
jobbery or penny policy about its
construction.
THE " BULLETIN'S " BLUNDER.-
Our chirping little contemporary,
the Bulle tin, had the following last
Wednesday:
We clip the following from the un
usually idiotic columns of our matu
tinal friend the Advertiser, and in
vite our readers to hunt up all the
dictionaries in the city and find out
what 4 'sanitation" means. Webster
evidently does not know, or perhaps
he took some weak whiskey and water
and forgot to put it in. For choice
editorial, commend us to the follow
ing: Then follows the extract from this
journal wherein the word " sanita
tion' ' occurs. Usually things of this
sort are not worthy of notice, but as
an expose of the ignorance of the Bul
letin w quote from Webster's Una
bridged, page 1577, ' Sanitation the
preservation of health: hygiene." It
is about time our little neighbor grew
tired of stumbling against the Ad
vertiser. It never fails to catch a
knock-down blow. When next it
runs arounu tee corner to oorrow a
J fr'lenda dictionary, it should also em-

numoeroi Japanese women to tins
country m uie near imure, it may not
be out of place to note a "few promi
nent characteristics of these Asiatic
females. The Japan Mail recently
translated a lengthy article from the
Hochi Shimbun (Japanese paper) on
the "Profligacy of Japanese Women."
It speaks of the dissolute conduct of
those female as "highly reprehensi
ble," and goes on to devote a whole
coulmu, in a very strong language,'
on what tbey stigmatize as "a great
and melancholy evil." The Hong
kong Daily Press, in commenting on
this subject, says that "We think
that our Tokio contemporary is some-
what disposed to exaggerate, and to
attiibute more immodesty than
necessary to the unhappy creatures
he refers to. Japanese women of the
class he speaks of are certainly, as a
rule, far better behaved than their
Western sisters, though doubtless
there are some so brutalised as to
have lost all trace of womanhood.
The subject is a painful one, and it i3
sau to finu tuafc almost the only emi-
grants from Japan are immoral
women." A. reason given for this is
the Buddhistic religion, the tenets of
which place women on a lower scale
thau man, and afford her little or no
hope in the future.
The Press goes on to say: "Nor is
this all; the Japanese law is entirely
in favor of the husband. He may
take to himself two or three concu
bines; he may spend his means and
hi.4 health in the haunts of vice, thus
robbing his family; hs may get con
stantly drunk with sake (wine) and
ill-use his wife, but she has no re
dress. On the other hand, he can
divorce lier for such a cause as dis
obedience to his parents or even for
excessive loquacity. Yet it is com
mon enough in Japan to find the wife
the real mistress alike of her lord and

her home, an ascendency acquired by
native tact, grace and cleverness. In
Japan, while woman lias yet to ob
tain her proper place socially, she
nevertheless in accorded more respect
than in other Kastern lauds. In no
other Oriental country, too, lias so
much attention been given to the
education of woman, nor is there one,
we believe, where she has enjoyed
equal freedom. The latter fact, per
haps, more than anything, joined
with her social degradation, has
helped to make vice ilauntingly ap- ,
parent in Japan."
Professor Griflls, who spent some
years In close and thonulitful study
of Japanese people,fornu'.l a favorable
opinion of the Japam-M girl. He
writes: "The Japanese maiden is
bright, intelligent,! n terextin;r, modest,
ladylike, self-reliant; neither a slavo
nor a wanton. What the American
girl is in Europe, the Japanese
maiden is among Asiatics. Both are
misunderstood. A Japanese virgin
may act in a way not reconcilable .
with Our standards. She may ex
pose her charms so as to shock our
exalted and chaste masculinity. -Lighter-skiuned
woman-kind may
see moral obliquity in an eye not per- '
fectly horizontal, when there is none.
Japanese virgins knows nothing of
the white lady's calculated limits of
exposure, or of scientific dressmak
ing, which ly an inch of affluent
economy exerts a more wicked in
fluence than a nude bust empty of in
tent to charm." In forming an
opinion of the Japanese women every
allowance is to h made for customs,
for habit and for education. They
cannot fairly be judged by our own .
standards, for they have not enjoyed
the advantages which women in
Western countries enjoy. But the

the proprieties of journalism. He,
following the profession of gathering

his journal into service to help eke

procurers did not get it, because the
Celestial is trained too well. .Let us
deplore the unfilled pocket.
What has heretofore been con
sidered an axiom, that a prophet hath,
honor save in his own house and in
his own country, has, in the case of
Dr. O'Ponnell and his lepers, proven
a fallacy. Prophets who want honor
abroad will not be recognized when
accompanied by lepers or smallpox
patients. Some Eastern physicians
go so far as to assert that O'Donnoll
doesn't know anything about leprosy.
This is misstating the case. He has
been a close student of the disease,
with ample opportunity of study and
the school at his very doors. Did
O'Donnell possess a mental balance
he would be a valuable authority on
leprosy and kindred diseases.
