A New LIGHT IN As1A.-The Japanese gov
eminent has issued special edict proclaim
ing the liberation of Christianity throughout
the Empire, and also opening up the entire
country to foreigners. Should the provisions
of the imperial order be carried into effect
faithfully the consequences of its operation to
the cause of Christianity and the commerce of
the outside civilizations will be wonderful,
almost incalculable. The missionaries of the
Church will find ON inexhaustible field for
labor, with chances Of martyrs crown as
they advance inward The soldiers Of the
Lord are numerous and courageous.

The British Press|raking Lessons from
the Herald.
When men see and admit the superiority
Of others over themselves in the prosecu-
ton Of their calling it is hopeful sign
of their willingness to learn and DISPOSE
ton to improve. Therefore we are led to
hope that British journalism will gain from
observation of American newspaper enterprise.
The London Telegraph of the 9th ult.
devotes an editorial column to an interview
with M. Gambetta, by what it styles ''an ad-
venturous correspondent of the NEW YORK
HERALD" Our English contemporary seems
astonished that the ex-Dictator should have
defined his position in the long conversation
which he held with our correspondent 'with
frankness that has astonished his foes.'
Possibly before this date the very interesting
and instructive report from HERALD corre-
spondent of the opinions held by another dis
tinguished Frenchman, the venerable NJ
Guizot the dispatches Of Mr.. OKelly from
Cuba, and the startling bulletins from our
correspondent at the stronghold Of the Modocs,
in the lava beds of California, may have i'm
pressed upon the editor of the telegraph the
fact that the energy of an Independent news
paper is able to secure the services of brave
and digni6ed as well as intelligent correspond
ents, and that they are wont to win the con-
fdence and enjoy the respect of those with
whom they converse As that paper has sent
q savant to look after the archives of Babel, it
should not hesitate to try its enterprise upon
matters Of present interest. A day later
the Standard followed the lead of its
rival in long editorial upon the same
HERALD text. Scotland, too, is studying
Yankee reporting" The London CORE
spondent Of the Dundee Advertiser records
the efforts Of representative of an American
journal to interview Count Schouvaloff at the
Russian Embassy in London. In reply to the
correspondents card soliciting 'the honor of
an interview" the dipomatist returned o re-
fusal and an assertion that he could commu-
nicate no valuable information. To this the
correspondent answered, intimating that
American sympathy might be useful to Rus
sia in the Asian question. But not even this
consideration influenced the representative Of

The B1Irs Head Bank DefsicA4iosA.
An alarming suggestion of lack of radical
honesty and thorough business system in our
money corporations rises naturally in view OF
the meagre disclosures about the affairs of the
suspended Bulls Head Bank Established
many years, enjoying On enviable reputation,
paying for years 80 large dividends that its
stock was valued at nearly double its par, this
old State bank held over q million dollars in
deposits and was considered model of safe
and successful finance. Suddenly the officer
who had long controlled its management
vacates his post, and the examination set in
motion by his successor reveals that no state
ment can be made of the exact standing
of the bank other than that there

books have been mutlated and the accounts
abstracted. Only three months ago the
sworn Statement of the chief officers showed
the bank as wealthy and prosperous. Now it
is announced as insolvent and its doors are
closed against the calls of disappointed de-
positors. This is startling news to all citizens
who, for convenience, keep bank account,
upon which they rely to meet maturing en-
gagements. If the funds of the Bulls Head
have been spirited away, is there absolute
assurance that there is nothing rotten in any

The ALABAMA CLAIMS AWARD DEBATED IN
THE ENGLISH PARIIAMENT.-The Alabama
claims award of the Geneva Court of Arbitra-
ton has been made the subject of debate in
the British Parliament on motion of the oppo-
sition represented by Mr.. Claiborne Hardy.
The Disraei party does not impugn the
integrity of the arbitrators, nor object
vehemently to the payment of the
American bill but its members oppose
the principle of international law which
was conceived in the Treaty of Washington
and matured and adopted rs On essen
tial of settlement at Geneva. This principle
is set forth in the three rules of the Treaty OF
Washington, which we reproduce IN the
HERALD to-day. The British Cabinet defends
it on broad grounds, and 1t is to be hoped that
the ministerial differences as to its operation
in the future between Great Britain and the
United States may be realized. Mr.. Disraeli
and Premier Gladstone joined in the express
sion of wish that the Cabinets in London
and Washington may arrive at speedy and
definite understanding on the subject, SO that
they will submit the whole matter and the
rules to the other Powers for their considera-
ton. Downing Street appears to be inclined
to hurry up the people in Washington.

The OswEGo Palladium announces that mys-
terious rumors come from Albany OF new
political combination. The great mystery is
that these mysterious rumors" are not more
numerous than they are. Some people in
Albany have NO other occupation than to
initiate paper balloons with idle gossip and set
them afloat. They keep sailing on until they
are pricked by new rumor or burst into thin
dir of their own volition.
