Journalism In Japan,-
There Is not a town of 10,000 people
which docs not possess at least one
newspaper, and the two or three cheap
popular papoVs in the capital have
circulations running from 100,000 to
150.000. This describes journalism In
Japan, which was the subject of an
Interesting lecturo (pluckily delivered
in English) given in the Japan So
ciety's hall by Mr. M. Zuraoto, the
Japanese editor of the only paper in
Japan printed in English, the Japan
Times. Apart from liability undor the
libel law, tho fullest freedom is per
mitted, except when the country is on
the vorgo or at war, when the reason
able Intimation Is conveyed that news
as to the movements of ship and
troops must not be published. Fiction
fills the most important place in edi
torial policy; but a fair proportion of
space is given up to telegraphic news,
including cables from eastern ports
and Europe and America. The mos
successful and prosperous journals are
so-called "yellow journals." and there
was much hypocritical denunciation
concerning these, people who de
nounced them buying tkreo copies to
one of the grave and accurate journals
which they professed to support But
when these "yellow journals" ventured
to meddlo in affairs of state they ex
perienced sovero rebuffs: seven weeks
previous to the official announcement
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance one of
these journals published in command
ing type a report that it had been ar
ranged, but "thanks to its well-established
reputation," "what was really a
big 'scoop' attracted no attention."

Defaming the Volunteers.
Tho war department, after Ignoring
for a year or two the charge that
Father Augustine, a Roman Catholic
priest, was tortured to death In the
Philippines by American soldiers, who
sought to force from him a revels
tlon of the hiding place of a large sum
of money, has been compelled to ad
mit that the charge Is true that tho
priest was killed by the "water cure."
The readiness of the war department
at this time to adnlt the fact is ac
counted tor by its anneuaoement that
the murderers were Vermont volun
teers, who were mastered out of ser
vice Teng ago and are now beyond the
reach of military justico. It is up to
Vermont to ask the war department
what in the name of all that Is imp-
triotlc and treasonable It means by
defaming her heroes. -Philadelphia
