STRENGTH

y
strength to study a profession,
strength to regulate a household,
strength to do days labor with
out physical pain. All this repre-
sents what is wanted, in the often
heard expression, "0h! wish |
had the strength" If you are
broken down, have not energy, or
feel as if life was hardly worth liv-
ing, you can be relieved and re-
stored to robust health and strength
by taking BROWNS IRON BIT
TIERS, which is a true tonic-a
medicine universally recommended
for all wasting diseases.

The Golden City,

MEMPHIS, April 29.-Local Inspec-
tors Garrett and Rolsten have com
pleted their investigation in the
steamer Golden City disaster of
March 30th. They find that the YES
sci was provided with the fnll COM
plement of officers and crew, and
equipped with all the fire extinguish-
ing apparatus and life-savIng appli, .,
ances required by law. They hold
that the vessel, in carrying jute
without the same being covered with
bagging, violated the spirit of sec-
ton 4472 of the Revised Statutes,
and revoked the license of J. n.
Bondmont. the mate. After the fire
was discovered the officers put forth
every effort to save the passengers,
and they are held blameless for the
loss of life.
Dead bodies of a man and woman,
supposed to be victims of the Golden
City disaster, were recovered yester-
day. One was found on Cow Island,
eighteen miles below the city, and
the other at Burdeaux Point, sixty
miles below.
N T. Mcintyre, clerk of the i'll

before day yesterday morning by some par

adds that at the time he is said to

Mr.. Gibson says the only part of
Mr.. Reerdell's statements to Messrs.

Republican Tendency in Japan.

Yokohoma correspondence San
Francisco Chronicle: Japan is in
transition state. Having torn her
self away from the traditions of a
close feudal system, there is much
that is chaotic in the minds of the
people. There is strong undere
tone of republican sentiment that
threatens to break cut into loud pro-
testations at and time. To say that
the Japanese, as q nation, are fully
prepared for all the responsibilities
of representative or Republican
government would be an error.
Many of the educated class have the
theories of government well digest
ed, but what they would be able to
accomplish with an educated constit-
uency, who have just emerged from
a condition of complete dependence
upon their superiors and chiefs, is
question of grave moment and full
of interest. There is vast chasm
between theory and practice. Won
derful progress has been made in
the knowledge of arts and sciences
by this people, and they are ambi-
tious to venture upon the, trial Of
representative government.
IMPATIENT FOR REPUBLIC.
The Emperor has graciously said
to his subjects that mne years hence
he will promulgate a constitution
in the meantime the best talent of
the Empire to be at the task of per-
fecting the instrument. Yet there
are those who clamor for immediate
advance, whether IN the interests of
the people or for what may prove
personally advantageous is difficult
to determine. fancy it will be
sorry year when the people take con-
tr, of their interests if it is precipi>
id upon them before they have
acquired the necessary measure of
pontical education. Whatever may
happen it is to be hoped will be for
the oest, for this people is strug-
CLING to do ali that an ambitious
race can accomplish. This is a good
soil for the egItator, as developed ex
ptrience has no home here. Wild
enthusiastic theorists have ample
scope to capture the unwary. There
are numerous newspapers started by
would>be s4viors of the people. but
few of them are allowed to live, as
the arm of the government throttles
them. There is a very rigid censor,
ship of the press. A publication of
anything considered offensive rem
ders the editor of newspaper liable
to Imprisonment and fine as we'll as
suspension of the paper. There is
no fooling about this business Still
the agtators are not abashed, but
seemingly court the treatment they
receive.
