Attempted Assassination Of the pIikado.

Attempted Assassination Of the NIikado.
A despatch received in London, April the
9th, and dated Jeddo, March 26, announces
that an attempt had been made by party of
twelve persons to assassinate the Mikado OF
Japan. The attempt, happily, proved fail
ure. The guards in attendance were success
ful in capturing two of the would-be murderers.
Great excitement has been the result, and
orders have been issued forbiddng foreigners
to 60 beyond the limits of the city OF Jeddo.
This seems hard age for royal personages all
the world over. There is scarcely monarch
in Europe whose life has not been narrowly
saved from the assassin's hand. Within brief
period attempts have been made on Francis
Joseph, on Victor Emmanuel, on Napoleon
Bonaparte, on the Emperor of Russia, on Queen
Victoria Assassination is becoming rather
characteristic of our modern Christian civiliza-
tion. The untimely deaths of President Lin
coin, of General Prim, of Earl Mayo and
Others show that it is not royalty alone which
is in danger To be successful in life, to hold
high place and WELD great power, seem in these
times to imply that man must be in constant
dread Of the assassin's stroke. The Mikados of
Japan in times gone by were mysterious per-
sonages, who never saw the world and were
never seen by it. Like the prince in Johnson's
inimitable story OF ''Rasselas," the present
Mikado became impatient of confinement and
sought the luxury of an unresrained life
Being in the world, he wished to be of it. This
attempt made upon his life must be regarded
as one Of the first fruits of his reform policy.
1t is we'll known that he has many enemies in
Japan. It is significant that foreigners are for
hidden to 60 beyond the limits of the capital
city. Whatever this may mean, whether the
murderous band was composed Of foreigners or
natives, the Mdado must be convinced that
what is called Western and Christian cviliza-
tion has its drawbacks, and that the pathway
of reform is pathway of danger We con-
gratulate the Mkado himself that this attempt
on his life has proved a failure; and we re-
joice with the Japanese people that the useful
life Of the most hopeful of their long line of
Princes has been spared.
