We certainly have frequently done the
politicians great injustice, an injustice
| which we now purpose 10 repair. We have
| time and again written against their pnr-
suing this profitable and dishonest calling,
and urged them "many tirno and oft" TO
| change their calling, and earn an honest
| livelihood. But except treating thoIa TO
| what mnBt have appeared 10 them glitter
| ing gsnoralitios, about nll mems interests
| being in the main Identical, and that in
| The long run they might find most proiita-
bio opportunities in tho various industrial
dmployments for the exercise Of their nc
| luiaitvcnosB md ingenuity, We have never
shown them any means Of bettering their
| condition. Wo are now placed in the Po-
Bition to remedy this ahortcoluing on our
part, and we do so by seriously recon-
| inending our windy sons Of Eolus to emf.
grnte 10 japan. You are bore undorphld
| md OvGrw0rkOd. Do not point nj the riGh
pickings nj tho City Hall and Custom
IlonHe moro bugnteliG 10 what You can
earn in Japan. Let us show you what
profitable thing governing is in that glo-
ri0us empire Of protection. Tho Tycoon
has two Boards Of Councillors; tho aorogio
ii the highest Of those Boards, and may be
deemed Tho p6rsonal Cabinet OF tho En-
peror. This Cabinet Ia composed OF ave
MON bors, each drawing salary Of s20o, 900
(gold) peT year. The second Council -
com posed Of seven members with salaries
ranking from $780, 900 TO 5000, 900 per year.
There IL third Council, O. kind Of Ad-
vsory Board TO the other two, which ia
composed of twonty-four membors, and
whose special duty 10 TO represent tho
Mikado al the Court of Jeddo. The Nom
BORG Of this Board receive salaries ranging
from $4,000 TO 100000 por year. The
tycoon has u representative ut the Court
Of the Mikado who receives u salary of
100000. Among the principal officials in
this paradise for politicians are the sixteen
adjunets Of the Tycoon, with annual sti-
pendb ranging from 100000 TO 5000 900.
There are twenty four first class and four
second class Ambassadors, who represent
tho interests Of tho Tycoon at tho Courts
Of tho mightiest Of tho daimios, or mobiles
of Japan. Those Am bassHdors draw sala-
Iies Of upwards Of 100000 per year each.
To twenty~Bix daimios is intrusted the
raising of the military contlngents Of The
Empire and their services being indis~
pensablc to tho safety and welfare Of the
State, thoy are paid proportionatoly high.
These men gatbGrors obtain, each, from
$4,000 to 100000 per year. The COM
mnnd Of the armIea ia intru8ted to twenty
| ecvon dpimios, who draw therefore from
tho public cxGhoquer salaries Of about
$50, 900 per year. Twelve daimios have
charge Of the public Notifications, and
| have salaries of 100000, Four daimioE
| aro tho superintendcnts Of tho pnbIie tenn
| pies, and upon them dovoive the duties Of
keeping the gods in good repair, for which
they receive salaTics ranging from $2oO,o0o
| to $350,00O per year. There are three or
| ders of nobility or daimioa in Japan. The
| highest In composed Of the three grand
mombers Of the Imperial family, who can
| become heirs to the Imperial Crown.
| Those are the Princes Of kiusin, of Dwarf
and Midi. The second class of daiInios is
composed Of eighteen Golsechi, the third
class are simply dainios, Of which there
are three hundred and forty-two. The
private fortunes OF the daimios vary very
| largely. Tho richest daimio Is the Prince
Of Ranga, whose income ranges from four
! to six million dollars per year. Thus 1t
will be perceived that the Japanese are far
ahead OF the Americans in the munifeenee
| with which they trent those who sacrifice
themselves for the public veal. The Perry
expedition will have more than paid for
| itsGH, If through its instrumentnlity wo
| are insured Of Il large emigration Of poll
| iicianR 10 tho sunrise kingdom. The march
| of thought, as we'll as empire, seems to be
westward, tho law Of compensation might
| be satisfied by a counter current to the
east of the politicians of the West. There
| fore pack your trunks, ya hangers-on at
tho public crib, and carry yourselves off TO
9 land Of milk and honey. We have
| shown you a country whore Offices are
fatter, salaries moro magnificent aud peo-
| pie meoker than IN the United States.
| Tho inhabitants OF japan can certainly not
| be 80 barbaroug IA not to allow you Home
| perquisiLes in addition to your legitimate
| gains. And If the ''pickingsn bear any
| proportion in Japan to tho regular stipends,
| al all to be- compared with those to be
earned here, you can easily calculate how
much you can benefit yourselves and your
country by Gmigrating.
1t is TO BIO hoped that the above tempting
oxhibitmay facilitate those United States in
their happy riddauee of much bad rubbish,
which would be the case if The office 10 Elk
ing politicians would only emigrate to
some far Distant landthe farther off the
hetter-and remain there. Should they
determine on going to Japan they may in
course of time treat one another to that
agreeable japGnnt"g process KIN own AZ bar
,ikar5, whereby parties insulting one an
other betake tbemselves to the delightful
practice of self disemboweling, as a means
| for mutual reconciliation and satisfaction.
