BOOKKEEPING IN BANKS.
New York Recorder.

The startling disclosures OF tho defalcation
by the bank clerk Seely are not without
their lesson. A system that enables
n bookkeeper. drawing less than 5000
per year salary, 10 steal in ten
years time one-tbird of banking company's
capital stock OF sl,0oO,0OO is radically wrong.
IL has set other bank managers to thinking
and investigating, and important changes In
bookkeeping methods will undoubtedly re-
suit.
The act Ia not only phenomenal from a
financial but from n moral and physical
standpoint as well. Here is a trusted clerk.
whose habits were steady and
his leisure at home, and who, beyond
secur ng . comfortable living, appeared to
have no ambition. making away with enor-
nous sums for which he apparently had no
employment. His ability to conduct these
operations over so long n period, despite the
regular Investigations by the National Bank
Examiner and the usual checks employed In
banks, indicates that he was past master of
the bookkeeper's art. Perhaps the most la
tercsting phase OF the occurrence is the
fact that for ten years Seely never left his
post for week. No wonder that his bonds
men and employers, judging from surface in
dications, considered aim a good r.sS.
Hereafter bank managers will be apt TO re-
gard with suspicion employees whose love for
work deters them from enjoying an annual

Since 1871 the advance has been very
great and now Japan has at one bound

Since 1871 the advance has been very
great and now Japan has at one bound
sprung into high and honorable posi-
ton among the nations that assume to
rule the earth by the right of ideas and
the power of laws that are designed for
the betterment Of man rather than the
aggrandizsment Of kings.
The empire of Japan is made up OF
over 5000 islands, of the eastern coast OF
Asia Hondo is the largest island, then
come Yezo, Kinshin and Shikoku. The
total area of the islands is supposed
10 be about 1i7.660 square miles. The
population is about 4O,O00,000. Japan is
about one-ftth larger than the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
while the popuation is about 5000, 600
more. The largest city is Toxic, which
had. in 1890, a population of 1,3S9,6s4 (;
next in size come Osaka, Kioto, Kobe
and Yokohama.
While the actual government Of Japan
has shifted from the old dynasty founded
by one JMMU 66O, years before the
Christian era, the titular sovereignty
has always remained with that house,
and the real governing power now re-
sides in it. So that Japan Is, in one
sense, very old country, while being
in another sense very new one.
The people of Japan seem to be
peculiarly developed. They are acute,
initiative, courteous, intelligent and
courageous. Yet we are led to believe
that the moral side of their nature is in an
exceedingly crude state OF development,
almost amounting to absolute torpor. Ii
is apparent, at least, that their standard
is radically different from ours; and it
is also apparent that that standard will
need to be changed If the race hopes to
escaps physical decay.
Perhaps this war with China will bring
Japan into such changed relations with
our own and European civilization as
will cause a revolution in religion and
morals, and the consequent reversal OF
the conditions now holding the Japanese
in bondage to decay on the mental and
moral side of their nature.
While the present war has shown us
the Japanese as we had not before seen
them, it by no means closes the argu-
ment against them as force dragging
at the wheels of civilization instead of
toiling in the shafts of her chariot. Ii
only demonstrates that the japanese
have a certain range of intelligence
aud certain capacity for national prog
ress. A noxious weed disgusts us by
an exhibition of exactly those qualities.
II sTi1l rests with Japan to demonstrat G
her right to enter into full fraternal
relations with the Christian nations of
the earth. She has shown her strength.
Let her now show her docency.

JAPAN.

The Japan that is now demonstrating
to the world its right and title to place
among the nations OF the earth is only
abont % years old; or II might be more
accurate to say that IL has been but %
years sir.o IL began TO manifest the
spirit that has now shown its power.
The new Japan was born in 1858,
when Commodore PERRY appeared at
Yeddo and began his work OF opening
the gates Of the kingdom Of islands so
that civilization might enter. In tho
following year 0sjD PERRY signed the
treaty with ihe Saoguu. who acted under
the title Of lai-kun, which was one Of
TIE titles ~ he MikAda,
Then came treaties with Great Brit
ain, Russia and France. Several ports
were opened 10 trade, and i'm 1860 the
first japanese embassy came 10 the
United States. There was a period of
internal strife and reorganization, until
in 1871 the old feudal system was en-
tirely abolished and the Miksdo become
the ruler Of japan in the modern sense.
