The Land Of Truth.
boston Herald

In Toxic, Yokohama, Nagasaki Kanagawa,
Hakodadi in all cities and towns, whether
big or little, at hotels, restaurants, shops,
bar-rooms- credit is customary-so firmly
fixed that 1t is hard to pay cash. When you
buy anything the clerk or salesman presents
YOU with n chit-very much like a pad-on
which you write the article, its price, and
your name, and the thing Is repeated II you
90 to the same place dozen times day. In
fact, you need no money for any ordinary
purpose until the end of the month, when you
liauidate your chits and begin over again. It
Is counted very dishonorable not to pay your
chits. Ii you do not, your name Is hung on
the wall of the establishment where you are
In debt, and you can get nothing more there.
Still, In Japan, as In every quarter OF the
globe, there are persons, and not O few, who
don't pay; and who when shut out from one
place, go to another, and make fresh bills.
The system is as bad as bad can be. Credit
widely extended Is an evil in any community.
It hurts the man who gives 1t. Its tendency
always is to relax principle, to encourage ex-
character. Hundreds, yea thousands, OF per-
sons In Japan to-day have lost their sense Of
integrity, and oil idea OF financial prompt
ness, who would not have done SO but for this
pernicious order of credit. The custom arose
some years ago from the scarcity of small
change, which rendered 1t really necessary.
But now, although change Is abundant, the
custom continues, with no signs of disrup-
ton or decay. Tradesnlen and everybody
else suffer greatly by it, having at the end Of
each year, number Of debts not only uncol-
lected but uncoIlectible. Business never will
be, and never can be, on any sound or desira-
BILE basis in Japan until a thorough retorma-
ton shall have been instituted.

THE EMPEROR WILLIAMS BikTH'

BERLIN. March 23.--The Emperors birth
day yesterday was celebrated In the usual

though the imperfect state Of the Emperors
health, ewing to his late fall, compelled him
TO clrtai the tiresome ceremony OF recep-

blew lusty blast, awakening the sleeping
city, which was soon fluttering withithe llags

The sun shone out, but very eoldly,
and despite the cutting east wind
and the driving dust, the Linden was
crowded with holiday populace, who gath

bore the congratulatory thunder FAR away
from the Emperor's and his subjects ears
At night innumerable candles burnt IN the
windows OF the citizens and the shopkeepeFs
around the laureled bust OF their peloVed
Kaiser.
Inside the palace the scene was much the
same as of old Rich and various gifts were
heaped on the table OF the Emperor. Cor
geoiis Hover offerings from far and near We're
pressed upon his acceptance. His Majesty
first Of all received the congratulations OF his
own family and household, after whom came
the various princes and potentates OF the
empire, headed by the King Of Saxony, who
had specially iourneyed hther in honor Of
the aged monarch. But here the work OF
reception ceased, the .Emperors strength
scarcely permitting him TO receive the per
sopal good wishes Of his generals, the minis
tiers of State and the diplomatic body. Excep-
tions, however. were made in the case OF
Count Won Motke and Prince Bismarck, the
two most illustrious paladins of his Court
and the supporting pillars OF his empire In
the spacious hall where the congress sat the
chancellor spread n noble banquet to the am
bassadors and ruling dignitaries assembled in
Berlin, and later In the evening the Emperor
gave an enter tainment, to which about 400
celebrities of various kinds were invited. The
learned hedies Of Berlin the municipality and
the theatres likewise devoted themselves to
feasting, experimenting and special enter

the Officers toasted the venerable head OF the
army, while the men exulted in the enjoyment
