The japanese are much-governed
people. The police system is so perfect
that a man cannot move from cIle part
of 4 town to another without the sane
ton of the police, and every mans
name, business and residence is kept
in the police station in the ward or vii
lage, so that it is next to impossible
for him to disappear or to turn up
missing" There seems to be less rea-
son for this close surveillance, as the
Japs are the most law-abiding and or
derby people on the globe. With pop
ulation of over 100000 there arc less
than 10000 prisoners in all the jails
in the empire, and it must be remem-
bered that there the law classes as
creme what in this country would be
considered misdemeanors.
Some travellers have written exagger-
ated accounts of what they are pleased to
call the immortality of the japanese.
The truth of the matter is that the
average globe-trotter generally sees
700 Wildb II Ddti lAlS idhNS
he visits. And in Japan especially
what seems the most fragrant lies on
the surface, so to speak-and is thus
brought directly to the notice. In my
opinion the japanese are not more inn
moral than the Americans, French or
English, but their immortality is of
different kind.
Religion enters much into the every
day life of the Japs, but it is so inter-
mixed with amusement that one can
hardly see where one begins and the
other ends. Of the two national re-
ligions, Shintoism and Buddhism, the
former is more popular with the masses
because it is not so strict, its priests are
not separated from the world and it's
chief dogma-the worship of ancestors
lis more in accord with the feelings

OF native whose ancestors were war
riors bold than the ascetic teachings,
the self-abnegation inculcated by the
buddhist monks. But the average
japanese is extremely liberal in relig-
ious matters. He will worship at the
nearest shrine, observe every holiday,
anC is a perfect Pantheist. willing to
adopt any number of deities. Many of
the Shinto and Buddhist temples are
centuries old and are so beautifully de-
signed and decorated as to fill the
thoughtful traveller with amazed de-
light. Christianity has made some
progress of late years, but, / believe,
there are not more than 100000 Chris
tians of all sects in the empire.
In their domestic relations the jap
anese excel all other oriental nations.
The wife is, as with us, 1.-The lady of the
house" or, as she is called. "O-dana-
san," the honorable lady, and she is
treated with respect and consideration
which increases with her age The ma

who would be considered pretty even by
Americans, This is notably the case
with the professional dancers and sing
ing girls known as "Gayesha," some of
| whom are very attractive. 1t will give
fair idea of the standard of beauty Of
Japan to quote the description given
by native gentleman at the Paris ex-

by perfectly-arched eyebrows and
fringed with black lashes. The face
should be oval, white, and but slightly

should be slender and the hands and

There are two types of feminine

us IN japanese pictures, on fans and

Perhaps one reason why people in
this country are so interested in japan
and the Japanese is because they are
our nearest neighbors in Asia.
Then, again, the world is indebted
10 Americans for Japan. Time
and again the Russian, the English
man and the Frenchman had been
foiled in their efforts to make the ac-
quaintance of the japanese, and it was
not until Commodore NJ. c. Perry with
seven men-of-war sailed into the Bay
of Yeddo that the island empire was
thrown open to the western world.
Since then the rapid progress of the
Japanese in western civilization has
astonished the world.
Forty years ago the soldiers of the
mikado's empire were armed with
bows and arrows, long pixies and poles
with scythe-like blades attached.
They wore suits of armor and, to terrify
their enemies, had false mustaches and
assumed ''beetling eyebrows" Now
sdays the japanese army is drilled,
armed and equipped in European style,
and the victory won by them in the re-
cert war with their Chinese neighbors
proves them to be one of the leading
military nations of the age. Then the
navy of Japan is powerful one and is
being increased very rapidly. Should
the occasion arise the japanese army
and navy would give a good account
OF themselves even against one of the
European powers.
The "globe-trotter" has made us all
more or less familiar with the Japs as
they are in their own country, and more
thoughtful travellers have added many
interesting chapters to the story. The
first thing that impresses one in Japan
rs the beauty of the scenery. Gen. Grant
called it 1.-The Switzerland of Asia"
though, of course, it lacks the rigorous
winter of the mountainous republic.
But it is land of the picturesque, in
which nature and art vie with each other

As to MObs.

The newspapers may continue to pro-
test against lvnchings and deplore mob
violence as much as they CHOOSE,
and yet so long as mobs go un-
punished for their outrages their
crimes will continue. The best
way to suppress mob is to
hang few of its leaders. 1t is the
duty of the newspaper to demand
prompt action on the part of the au.
thorities. Let the grand juries and
county officers do their duty and a
greater respect for the law will surely
follow. Little Rock Democrat

Why Have ANY Courts2

From the Cotumbia mol Herald.
The spread of mob spirit in Missouri
is not a hopeful sign. We regret to
9 it given encouragement in many
newspapers.
At present these outbursts of an
archy r mainly directed against the
perpetrators Of crimes against women.
1t will not be long, however, until
persons accused of other crimes will
be similarly treated. That the mob
spirit does not decrease is shown by
the fact that there have been more
crimes against women committed in
Missouri since the mobs began their
work than in years before. This, the
only excuse that can be made, falls
fiat when the history of the state is
examined. Violation of law, with
whatever motive, breeds contempt of
law and then lawlessness.
If mob law is condemned when di-
rected against one criminal why not
in all cases? If rapists are to be pun
ished by mobs then the same punish
ment should be given murderers,
burglars, embezzlers and fire bugs
and soon will be. If the people are to
take the law in their own hands in
one case why have any courts? Mobs
r cheaper than jails. Let US do
away with prisons and sheriffs and
police.
But some glorious day a mob will be
met by bayonets and shotguns and
the murderers who compose it will be
treated to In application of cold lead.
This will do more to destroy the an
archistic spirit than anything that has
occurred since the Haymarket mob
wa hunp.

Card From Senator Vest.

To the Editor of the Post Dispatch.
In the Post Dispatch of Sunday last
I am reported as stating hat the sill
vel men would be whippedin the next
National Democratic Convention.
l do not think the reporter intended
to misrepresent me, but this state
ment is too strong. 1 did say thatthe
odds were against US in a convention,
although l had no doubt that q. ma
lority of our party favored free coin
age, and that unless the friends of sill
yer were aroused to the danger ofun-
due influence and manipulation we
would be defeated. l also said thati in
my opinion it was bad policy to lull
the people into false security by de-
claring that we sure to carry the
convention; and that if we did not,the
Democratic party was destroyed.
At all times and in all places / have
endeavored to impress upou u
friends the necessity for organization
and the utmost vigilance in selecting
delegates and a~lternates to the Ma
ton Convention, but l have never
said that we were sure to be defeated.
1t seems to me that over-confidence
is as fatal to a cause as distrust and
timidity. If we organize and work
we can control the convention, but it
cannot be done with noise and asser-
ton. This is not that sort of cam
paign.
Our State Committee should begin
the work at once, and unless the
party is thoroughly organized we will
lose this State.
All this talk about boiling the ticket
and destroying the party is wrong
and unworthy a true Democrat.
1 am as sincerely in favor of free
coinage as any living man, but l do
not propose to abandon the Demo-
cratic party, o do 1 believe that it
will be destroyed by the action of any
convention. G. G.. VEST.

WITH HIS FURNITURE.
Hotel = Keeper Kesler of Hannibal
Leaves at Night.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, Oct. 19.-The citi-
zens of Hannibal were surprised this
morning when they found the doors
of the Kesler Hotel closed and learn
ed that the proprietor, R. D. Kesler,
and his family had left the State, tax
ing with them most of the furniture.
About 8 O'Clock this morning two
wagons were loaded with parlor fur
nIture, dishes, linen and other goods
and started towards the river. An
other wagon was also loaded with
goods and started in the same direc-
ton, but was stopped and turned over
to a creditor for groceries. The fur
niture in the house was mortgaged to
John L. Robards, of this city, and DIR.
Hinde, of Mexico, Mo-, who own the
building, as security for rent. Up to
a month ago the hotel was run by
Ernest Kesler when he transferred
the property to his father, but the
plea that the latter was the owner did
not prevent some of the creditors
from obtaining a judgment on a gar
nishment.
1t is thought that he made con-
siderable money this week out of
knights of Pythias attending the
Grand Lodge. To-day it was learned
that Kesler had gone to G~riggsville,
ILL.,, where he has a son-in-law
conducting a hotel. There r many
people in Hannibal whom he has left
with empty sacks to hold.
