MORALE OF THE MANIFESTO
have thus extracted the principal parts OF this
remarkable document leaving out only those por-
writer drops n little too deeply into metaphysical
argument. But there is sufficient TO show that the
writer, or rather WRITER'S are thoroughly IN earnest
1t is most solemn protest against the fearfuliy
lavish expenditure which has been going on Tor the
last lew years in Japan, and, although peculatlon
writer's know full well that "A large sum OF money
has gone, heaven knows where, and Tor what. 1t
has another significant meaning. 1t Is protest
against English financial supremacy; and with
Engshmen financial supremacy means authority
The Oriental Bank corporation which is the great
mands. lnoye has always opposed the policy OF
allowing government TO carry on tne ex-
inaugurated, and allowing them to be prosecuted
10 completion by private enterprise, because he
knew that II the government undertook them the
government must borrow money; that If the gov
ernment borrow money the most likely market is
England, and hence ultimately the government Is
in the hands OF English creditors, and let India
tell how England manages to get paid with inter
est. This statement, published by lnoye. differs
very materially from several statements published
q few months ago in different magazines in Eng.
land. These papers made out that the revenue OF
Japan exceeded the expenditure by over three NIL
lions OF dollars annually; while the eX-Finance
Minister states that there is the enormous dehcit
OF 600 900 annually But there cannot exist the
slightest doubt as to which statement is true.
The statements made in England were undoubt-
loan agents-the Oriental Bank Corporation.
What the result OF Inoye's resignation and
the subsequent publication of his reasons for SO
doing viii be, am unable TO say. But 1t Is TO be
hoped that IL will have the effect or remedyng the
evils complained OF. stll. the officer who has been
although only a temporary appointment, does not
indicate much of an Improvement lnoyes sue.
cessor is Okuma, creature OF the English and OF
the Oriental Bank.
THE GREAT FEUDAL FOSSIL STILL IN JEDDO.
SchmadZu SaborO, the great baron, Is still IN
Jeddo, but his presence here now seems to have
lest It's strangeness, and think his Importance has
been somewhat overestimated. although OF course
he cannot help being regarded with some interest
on account OF the very important part he played
during the revolution. When he had his audience
with the Tenno, he found the latter and the men,
bers of the Cabinet sitting on European chairs, and
vacant seat was lett for him. He excused
himself from sitting on chair and squatted on
his heels, Japanese fashion. Upon being
pressed to- take char he complained OF
being sick, and requested to be allowed to
take that position to which he was accustomed
This was granted, whereupor all the members OF
the Council, with the exception, OF course, OF the
MkadO, discarded their chairs and squatted with
him. Some OF the papers have rldiculed this
action OF the members OF the Council and intimate
that SchmadZu SabOros influence alone could work
"a radical change backwards.o For myself
although must admit the action seemed to argue
want OF dignity, only ascrlbe 1t to that
excessive p0liteness OF the Japanese which to our
eyes at least often boarders upon servility. Since
the interview he has been out but very little but
have been told that IL has been intimated to him
that upon the first sign of Righteousness on his
part he viii be escorted TO his own province.
PUBLIC WORKS.
The Mikado's palace, which was burned down on
the 5th OF this month, is TO be rebuilt in European
STYLE at cost OF about $4,000 co., Probably large
proportion OF this amount will be raised by SUBJ
eruption. Five native merchants at Yokohama
have originated such an idea by offering the sum
OF $685. 600 towards 1t. The sum has not yet been
accepted, but 1t probably will be.
