JAPAN is anxious for higher civllizatioh
and within the last few years has made con-
sidrable progress toward its attainment AZ
cordmg to Gov. Ito, Assistant Minister oil FL
nance who has been in this country severa'
weeks weeks studying our system of finance, this
wish dates from the time of the japanese ex'
wisn u" when, listening TO the advice of tho
PTnited Representatives Japan consent
ns en ~ 70 this. the people Of Japan thought they
IaJ reached the highest civilization; but in
tercourse taught them their mistake and they
began to study that Of Europe and America.
From small beginnings great advance has
been made, and now the most capable men OF
Japan are studying and examining the finan-
cial, postal, and railroad system OF Europe and
the United States. The policy of Japan is IN
strong contrast with that of China. While
China is contented with ideas thousand
wears old, Japan is sitting new ones, and
adopting the most advanced.

ARIZONA FEvER.-JuSt about this
time there is considerable talk in
Phoebe of going to Arizona and not a
few are making preparations to strike
out, at IN early day, for that far of
region, around which so MANY golden
visions hover, and are visible only to
the eye of the veteran p~ro>pectors who
have tramped the entire coast Overland
over again in search of something
equal To that on which B~revfogie WAS
permitted TO feast his ewes. i'll the
southern portion OF this State, for a
few brief hours and then passed for
ever from his ~sight-all search for the
lost mine afterward proving fruitle>s.
The Immediate cause ofthiS movement
toward Arizona at present Is the pres
ence of General Crook, a noted Indian
fighter. in the Land of the Apaches,"
and who is making preparations to
move against these treacherOuS saw
ages, and miners now begin to think
they can prospect in Arizona with
more safety than at any time previous.
Sacramento District seems to be the
place for which all are shaping their
course with the intention of venturiug
further after Gen. Crook has cleaned
out the Applicability Record.

Marriages and rumors of marriages

CALIFORNIA PoLITICs.-The Sacra-
mento Reporter, which is opposed to
Haight's election, says Of the opening
of the campaign at San Francisco:
The Democratic mass meeting in
San Francisco on Saturday night was
a really enthusiastic and imposing
demonstration. The San Francisco
daily papers, which, with only one eN-
ception, we believe, hate the Demo-
cratic party as cordially as Stephen j.
Meauv does Governor Hoffman. all
acknowledge that the meeting was. i'll
point of numbers and enthusiasm. a
great success. The political contest in
this State is now growing intensely
1t will be '.short and sharp
but we cannot say it will be ''deci
sive'' for either party. A heavy vote
will probably be called out, and we
shall not he surprised if the people
will '.perceive here a divided duty
and elect a mixed ticket.

\ REPUBLICAN, VIEw.-The New

ceeds to predict thatthe auti-Grant Re.
pubiicans VIII either bring oGt Il IAN

and demand ruled as it always must.
Our people paid high taxes and re-
ceived high rewards for labor and its
products. Their burdens and abil-
ity to bear them went pa,i pasu.
But this cunning funding scheme
proposes to increase taxation while
lessening the means of payment.
Could such a lesson in political econ
Omy emanate elsewhere than in Wall
street? Itshagrant injustice may be
illustrated thus: 4 citizens taxes
amount to sixty dollars. Under the
greenback standard of value his labor
is worth sixty dollars per month.
He pays his taxes by n months
labor. Under the gold standard his
labor is worth only twenty dollars
per month. His share of the inter-
est due On the greenback bonds
which have been converted into gold
bonds, being as fixed as the laws Of
the Modes and Persians, he is now
compelled to labor three months to
accomplish what n ought to do.
His taxes are thus increased two
hundred per cent, and not for the
purpoSo of a1yancipp fba n~rpSDprity
or credit of his country, but to pam
perthe greed Off an ignoble oligarchy.
Democrats have always rejoiced III
the prosperity of our loved country,
and sought to guard we'll her honor
and preserve her credit untarnished.
They know that all credit is based
on strict fidelity to contract and
ability to perform. MEMO.

MEN WANTED.

The world wants n'en-large-hearted, manly
men
Men who shall join its chorus, and prolong
The psalm of labor and the psalm of love
The times want SchOldrS-scholars who shall
shape
The doubtful destines of dubious years,
And like the ark that bears our country's
good,
Safe on some peaceful Ararat at last.
The age wants herOcs-heroes who shall dare
To struggle in the solid ranks of truth
To clutch the monster error by the throat
To bear opinion to a loftier seat #
TO blot the era Of oppression out,
And lead a universal freedom in
And Heaven wants SOulS-fresh and capacious
souls,
10 taste its raptures, and expand, like now-
ers,
Beneath the glory of its central sun.
1t wants fresh souls--nOt lean and shriveled
ones; -t
1t wants fresh souls, my brother-give it thine,
IF thou indeed wilt be what scholars should !;
If thou wilt be hero, and wilt strive
TO help thy fellow and exalt thyself,
Thy feet, at last, shall stand on jasper floors,
Thy heart, at last, shall seem thousand
hearts
Each single heart with myriad raptures filled
While thou shalt sit with princes and with
kings,
Rich in the jewel of ransomed SOUL

| own the charms of rounded arms,
Of eyes that loves soft lustre shed,
Of raven hair, and tresses fair,
Of cheeks that coy with white and red /;
Of pouting lips like Cupid dips
The arrows that to hearts are sped
Yet none of these my fancy please
Like bonny hands that make good bread,
Some hands have art TO move the heart.
By waking music's sweet appeal;
Some borrow dyes from perfect skies,
And, through the canvas, :make us feel;
Some maze the dress fair forms caress,
To win the heart and turn the head,
For me, more rare beyond compare,
Are bonny hands that make good bread.
Gay maiden, vain the ruStling train,
Those jeweled hands so idly crossed,
That idle mind can pleasure find
In every hour ignobly lost!
Your jewels shine your looks are fine,
But Ill not seek, Whene'er wed,
For jeweled hands, or gold and lands,
But bOnny hands that make good bread.
