ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE.
The announcement that England ?md
Japan have practically reached an un
fVjj!Z^tandiaK which will probably result
in an" alliance tor the preservation of
the balance of power in the Orient, is
by no means surprising. The interests
of the two countries in the far east are
almost identical, and the natural ene?
mies of England have shown a great
deal of hostility toward Japan. In fact,
they have snatched from her bands
the results of her recent triumph over
China. Neither Japan nor Great Bri?
tain can treat with indifference the
encroachments of the Russian Czar and
the young war lord of Germany upon
the territory of defenceless and degen?
erate China. The growing power of
these two ambitious young montu'ebs is
a menace to both England and Japan.
Therefore, It is quite natural that an
"understanding" should be reached be?
tween the twit against the common
foes, of both nations.
Getting mixed up in this Eastern
question, which has placed the great
powers of Europe on the verge of a
political volcano, is one of the most
serious considerations in connection
with the permanent retention of the
Philippine Islands by the United States.
If they may he disposed of at a fail
price it would seem to be the part of
wisdom to get rid of them. If tin
questions which are eternally rising in
reference to the Eastern problem keep
the European powers guessing it is
almost impossible to calculate the
trouble and expense oriental posses?
sions would necessarily entail upon
this country.
A correspondent of the esteemed New
York Sun makes a stirring appeal for
what he calls the "telectroscope." In
plain English he wants an instrument
by means of which persons talking
over a telephone line may enabled to
gaze at each other?literally, look each
other "straight in the eye." From a
mechanical point of viey such an in?
strument would undoubtedly be a great
triumph, but we fail to see any practi?
cal utility in the scheme. As a matter
of fact, there are some reasons which
might be used against the proposition.
For instance, it is some times difficult
for those who are conversing over the
line to make their words clearly under?
stood, and those who have witnessed
the antics of one conversing under such
conditions can scarcely be impressed
with the benefits which would accrue
from a facial accompaniment to the
impatience so often manifested when
things go wrong. For all practical pur?
poses the old style 'phone Is all righl.
If il is necessary or desirable to see the
Person lo whom one is talking railroad
fare is cheap.
If the Spanish government wishes to
win battles without lighting and to de?
vastate the terrible yankee pigs with?
out the loss of a single Spaniard, it
should make arrangements to pacify
the redoubtable ex-Captain-General
.Weyler and annex his war typewriter
Even Dewey luck could scarcely hop<
to stand before that devastating whirl
wind of verbal power.

"I Never Thought
a Gas Stove Could
Be Such a Comfort,"
Said a-th street
lady to us a few days ago, and
one by one the ladies are finding
out that they are not oibly a Very
great comfort, but that the well
appointed gas range is the prop?
er appliance to have in the
kitchen. No need then of a
poor fire; you strike the match
und we furnish the gas to give
you just the kind of lire you
need; quick, or slow as you
please. We can bake. broil,
stew, in fact do anything that
any stove can do; and oh, yes,
give you all the hot water you
want; connect your pipes under
the city pressure, and we give
you hot water In any part of the
house. Gas fuel costs $1.00 per
thousand feet. This will give
gas cooking for $2.?? to $3.00 per
month. This is cheaper than
coal or wood. .]?st think it
over and you will Kee. Ask
your friends who use gas stoves
and y,.u will be surprised at the
saving. call at the office and
see the inducements we have to
offer you. jf y0ll can.t ca?
