Foreign Residents in Japan.

Japan extracts a great deal of innocent
satisfaction out of the fact that she has
attained sufficient importance in the mod
ern world to have treaty relations with II
civilized nations. it is very worthy
source of pride, but when Japan becomes
little more used to the distinction, she
will care less Tor the fact, and more for
the benefits which she derives from it.
On the 5th Of October, by invitation of
the mikado, there will assemble in Japan
conference of representatives of the :
powers having treaty relations with that
country. The principal object of the con
ference is the settlement of the vexed ques-
ton respecting the status of foreigners resi-
dent in Japan. Under the existing treat
les, foreigners who choose to live in the
treaty settlements are under consular
jurisdiction, and wholly exempt from the
jurisdiction of the mikado; and their
trading and property holding privileges
are restricted to these treaty cities The
progressive party in Japan, however, has
long been anxious to see all limitations Of
Japanese control in that country abolished
and are willing to abolish every possible
restriction upon the freedom of foreigners
in trading or residing in any part of the
country.
In order to meet the views of foreign
residents who are not as yet prepared to
put themselves under japanese jurisdic-
ton, it is proposed to retain the existing
arrangements for three years longer, but
any foreigner will be permitted during
that time to accept japanese jurisdiction
if he chooses, and with it the privilege of
travelling and trading in any part of the
country. At the end of that time the
mikado is to hold civil and criminal juris-
diction over every part Of his country
The proposed conference will probably be
able to settle this matter to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned

The Rural FGrmontcr'S suggestion,
made in the interest of its candidate for
speaker, that Major Grout Of Derby is the
choice Of 1.-The railroad men," is very wide
of the truth. Major Grout was not on the
railroad side, in the recent State canvass,
and he was not brought out by any rail
road man or railroad organ. 1t occurred
at once, no doubt, to five out OF every six
intelligent men who looked over the list
OF representatives, elect, that with The eX-
ceptlon of Judge Poland, who was not
likely to be candidate, no man among
the number possessed the experience and
qualifications for the presiding officer of
the House so fully as Major Grout. His
name WAS mentioned with favor stimuli
taneously, all over the State, and it con
tinues TO have favorable mention. That
is the Whole story. He is the candidate of
no clique He has no connection with
any railroad interest. and will be as free
from railroad dictation, if anything of the
sort Is attempted, in making up his com
mlttees, as any man that could be placed
in the speakers chair. Mr. Stan ton of
RoXDury, who is favored by the Rurdl
lcrmOntCr, may be good man for the
place but we know of no respect in which
he would have the advantage of Major
Grout, or better serve the State, in the
speakers chair

The Cattle Disease at Cbicaro.

The outbreak of pleuro pneumonia
among the thousands of cattle collected at
Chicago for distribution throughout the
beef markets of the country, naturally
causes good deal of uneasiness among the
people of the eastern States, who depend
so largely for their meat supply upon the
Chicago market, We are glad to note,
however, the energy with which the Hi
nois State board of health has taken up
the matter. The diseased cattle have been
placed in quarantine, and in order to check
the spread of the disease, 5000 of the quar-
antined animals have been ordered to be
killed, and the carcasses of such as prove
to be diseased will be cremated
Everything possible will be done by
the Illinois State board of health
and by the authorities of Chicago
TO prevent the shipping of any of the dis,
eased meat or the sale of milk from any of
the diseased herds.
As the flesh of an animal infected with
any blood disease is sure to show indica-
lions of it to the practiced eye responsible
dealers will not be likely to buy, much
less to sell, any meat that is unfit for con-
sumption. Unusual care, however should
be taken, by dealers in Western beef at
this time.

EnbcZZIcncnf.

An epidemic of ENLIGHTENMENT seems To
be sweeping over the country. Day after
Gay the papers are filled with startling
stories of defalcation and the saddest
thing about it all is that the defaulters
seem III most cases to have been men of
previous good character and exemplary
lives; perhaps even men of religious pro-
fession and of beneiiCent influence i'm the
community. Yet they yielded to that
consuming desire for wealth, which is the
curse of our American life
The frequency of such cases us those of
Gould, Smelling and Bartholomew,
suggest the question Is it right
10 test the conscience of any
man AS severely as those were test
ed by absolute control of immense
amounts of money not their own ? Con-
slider the facilities for the rapid acquiring
of wealth which this absolute and I'M
questioned control affords. The opportu-
nifty for specializing with other mems
money is constantly coming up.
Here is chance for reapng
thousands by the use Of hundreds.
If the controller of corporation funds once
yields to such temptation he is lost. He
continues to speculate with money which
is not his; by and by he loses heavily.
and the crash comes. Or it may be that
the temptation comes in "A still more sub
tie form There is crisis in the business
affairs of the man himself lie sees a
chance to tide over, perhaps to win large
ly, by the use Of considerable amount of
money for a short time. The temptation
is too strong he yields, but does not save
himself.
In the prevailing methods of doing
business by corporations in this coun-
try, too much responsibility is placed
upon the individual. The opportuni-
ties for defalcation are too numerous
and the temptation to take advantage
of them too strong, for many man who
would be proof against any ordinary in
ducement to wrong doing. Just rs long
as auditors do not audit, and directors do
not direct and it continues to be the policy
of corporations to trust implicitly and
without question enormous sums of money
to the hands of their presidents or cashiers, |
so long will there be defalcatons, ruined |
families and blasted regulations. Of !
course to the truly honest man, unlimited
opportunity to steal Is no temptation; but |
the number of absolutely honest men is |
not too great; and corporations and in |
dividuals should beware how they lay |
temptations in the path of any man,

judicial service OF the king, and il may
have been the work of one OF these There
may have been no such person and the
work have taken its name from Bracton.
out OF whose work, in the kings name
and by the kings command, it was com
posed, or possibly it was called Britton as
one of the names of Bracton himself
Bracton was abridged in Latin by De
Thornton, Chief Justice of the Kings
Bench, but Britton is the only one of the
early treatises which came into general
use there existing at this time but one
manuscript copy of Fleta, while of Brit
ton there are 26 copies in the principal
public libraries of England. They are
written ON vellum or parchment. Brit
ton was first printed without date, but
probably about 1880. a second edition in
Norman French called Wingate's Brit
ton, appeared in 1910 Both editions are
very inaccurate rs well as the one printed
in France in l11G. That portion of the
work relating to the pleas of the crown.

els Morgan Nichols, of LiucOn's Inn, was
published in two volumes at the Claren-
don Press, oxford, in 1868. Its introduc-
ton by Nichols will well repay pertlsal bv
any one at all interested in the early his
tory OF the law. These works remained
in manuscript for several centuries after
they were written, and where there is
more than one copy at the present day, no
TWO are precisely the same, and it is diff
cult to tell which is the authors wor k.
ana whether any Of the changes in the
text of the manuscript were made during
the lie of the author, or centuries after
ward.
These books Granville, Bracton. Fleta.
and BrlttOn are the four great works of
the law, written before the year 1900
The copiOusness and learning of Bracton
places him high above them all, and it is
To him that We undoubtedly owe both the
works called Britton and Feta. But
Granville, who led the way, is entitled to
the praise due those who first open the
paths to science
Very soon after and probably before the
year l2l0, Chief Justice De Hengham
composed Il treatise in two parts, one
called the Summd Ndgnd, the other
Summd PdrUd. (rhe greater and less
summary 1t was a collection of notes
relating to proceeding in actions, and
must have been useful to a practitioner
in those times. De Hengham also pub
llshed the Registrar Brevium a collec-
ton of writs which he carefully made and
revised. This book is pronounced by
Lord Coke the most ancient book of com
mon law, meaning probably of permanent

BlIITTON.

Immediately after. the work which
passed under the name Of Britton, writ
ten in Norman French, was composed as
IS thought, under the direction of the
king. 1t is shorter than Fleta, and but
little more than compendium, and is
sometimes considered nothing but an
abrldgment of Bracton, with the illustra-
tons made since the time of the latter.
II is written in the name of the king and
claims TO be his immediate work. There
is no doubt as TO the time it was written,
and was the first law treatise in the yer
nacuar French. 1t was formerly sup
posed that it was the work of John Bre
ton Bishop of Hereford, but he died pro
badly before the work was written. The
