In adopting European mdtbod* she ariuptnl ufao 'European ambition for territorial, oonmq>tvial and pdWcal aiggr.imllzomienit. 1; Is an open secret than Jaipatnse dtntcrimen have long dreamed of the time when they could so consolidate the power of their awn empire as to put a. check upon European nnvbltten in toe East.

Defeat in war and tho opening up of 'the pon s, ho^rtiher with pennis- sion to Intnxluco modern nwiilncry for manufaaturc, including railroads and other modern n-ppUaiicss of Industry, means of course, that a Kmemendons effort will be made to sot Ohlnn on the same road ali.n: Japan herself has trav elled so quickly. -With the dev.lop- in ent of her nosotmero 1*1111 came a de velopment of ambition and the adop tion of modern Ideas, ns has hcvii ihe case tn Japan, end Japan and China, allied, will have nothing to fear from European rowesa on. As wo have be fore said, this war In Ithe Basi, now jus: iterminatod, may horeafuer to look ed back to as one of the groat turning points In Hie world's history. TH E CORNER TN BEEF There hns been a very lame advance In the price of beef tn all Ithe markets onturolit’d t\y the great Si audlrterlng eSiablMmienla of the West. There has also been -in ;i.1 y in*'.* iiv a*ie price of laeef cinhtje, but one not at all corre- epomling with that in the price of the dressed meat. Growing out of '.ti. s dis crepancy Is a belief that n combination bps been formed by certain of the great hoof invoking cstabtishnients to curnct ttie roirknt and make same mlH -ns of dollars oui of comminuts, without al lowing an.y considerable aarotlt to the mod iwho tulse rahie. A reasonable advance 1n price was to be expected from the timlisi»utol riiorttoge in tho supply of oi.tlllc, hut the Shortage which made this advance powiifle also offered tho oppotltunlty for cornering the markot. iNnitunalLv, nrneh res< , 'ntirof«H is felt by consumers against being maile 'the hiUpfesi vtntltiH of a conspiracy of tbls kind. TV tut is the remedy,,,for it? Why 1* It possible for four or five great limit In ithe West to take advantage of this opportunity to squeese the people of the country to the regent of nsvcr.il millions of dollars? Is f hft worWs sup ply of wikis short, or moroiy tte sup ply to the United Siatcn? The nply to the last quesLioo, however, Is iot ot any importance. It nV"uU urate no difference U '-Mexico and Canada. Wire overrun with fat href cuttle. The oon- stltners of tho UnJtcrl Staton would still be at toe moniy of (the meat trust, lie. cause our tuKff law puts a duty of 20 per cant, on bertf ctitle, dreoed beef anil onher drc.vred meats. Thl* margin of 20 per cent, is ell that the trust needs.

The oourttnj has not had long to will iiefoce paying dearly for this eon- cession to the trust. We must go on paying exitr.ivagunt.ly high prices for beef mid cattle raisers ronUDUo to re ceive whatever the rrust is willing to pay iCi'tn ns long as our government ili-Uberaitely bar* out earth) raised in other countries and thus give* toe trusi complete tutirral of too market* ot the United HtaiUw. THE BAN KERR AND POLITIOB. nave not banker* Just as much right to express toefr views on the money question ns people engtgod In any other occupation? Doc* the CoilAiViitiOu ioseui, ine golus iuto polities of any orsMnlaitton made up of o ber classes of business cion, or of working poqple? Why Is It thAt the mon who deal In money, whose life Is glvtm up to the study of tho subject of money, who ore presumably bolter in formed than other members of Rio com munity as to whftt is a safe financial policy, be excluded entirely from poli ties, and especially from tho politics tbit denis with financial questions? Is rihoulil not ho forgotten, we think, (fiat the bankers of the country nre the langeat debtors, as well os the largest creditors. They arc no more in terested in ihe preservation of a sound currency than other citizens. If we go to tho silver standard and they ore obliged ito receive stiver !n settlement of digi ts due .them, they will also be able to pay the debts which they owe to silver. In the main, topy are merely intermediaries between people who lend money and those who borrow It, nnid the attempt to excite prejudice alga trust thorn can only do hnirm to those who have money to lend and to those who are obliged to borrow.
