When Gen. Grant was in Japan tho
emperor invited the general to cross
the imperial footbridgc near the
palace Of Toxic, across which none but
blood royal had ever trol. Gen. Grant
accepted the invitation and walked
across beside the mil,ado, until they
reached the center OF the bridge
Then he stopped, profoundly saluted
the emperor, and said
Your majesty, l have come SO far to
show you that was not insensible to
the honor you would do me, but can.
not violate your traditions. Let us re-
turn the way we came"
The perfect tact and courtesy Of
Gen. Grant on this occasion Is very
gratefully remembered by the nation
which has the just distinction Of being
called the most polite people on earth.
Americans visiting Japan are held In
high favor, and ore always treated
with the greatest consideration. On
the other hand, they greatly dislike
the English. They are brutes and bull
dogs. Detroit Tribune.
