Judge BinEhoN's Success In Japan.

A TRIBUTE FROM THE LEADING ENGLISH

"Were we asked to sum up the results of Judge
Bingham's official dOings in Japan, we should
place first the fact that he has taught the Jap
anese the possibility Of making friend Of a
foreign minister. That signifies a great deal. 1t
sig nities that there has been accomplished here
the change for which thoughtful westerns in
China also are beginning to be impatient-the
substitution of sympathy and persuasion for
menace and mastery: That 1t has been a sub

when we observe that to be citizen of the
United states has become q passport to the
Judge Bingham leaves behind him host of
friends among foreigners Of all nationalities,

rity, large charity and fine intellect have I'M
parted to his official career in Japan the dignity
of standard by which the better classes OF his

From a study Of our esteemed contemporaries
In other cities it is manifest that the great ma
Jority Of them are determined to defeat the
attempt to build u national monument to Gen.
Grant In New York. The impression produced
by their remarks Is that If they truly represent
the sentiments of their subscribers, the whole
be raised in New York city alone. They will
not help toward 1t.
OF course in that case the monument would
not be u tribute from the people Of the United
