JAPANESE POLITICS.

The debate in the Japanese Diet over
the naval budget is chiefly interesting
in the probable effect of the party
maueuvers upon the plan to introduce
responsible Ministerial government in
Japan. The Minister has proposed an
expenditure of the enormous sum of
$75,O00,OO0 for new war ships; but the
Japanese National party and its allies
have opposed the Ministry with de-
mand to double the amount
1t was agreed between the Ministers
and the Liberals. the largest of the sew
eral Parliamentary groups, that the lat
ter should support all Government
measures; the Ministry. on the other
hand. having agreed to resign and ap-
peal to the country in the event of
defeat in the Diet-thus introducing
regular party government after the
British plan. The amendment to the
budget offered by the Nationalists may
be regarded as shrewdly calculated to
Illustrate this plan. The Ministry could
not afford to appear before the electors
as the advocate of the restriction of
the means of national defense; neither
cou ID an increase of the budget be
properly regarded as a Ministerial de-
feat. The Nationalist may succeed in
their efforts to confuse the real issue
and make the Ministerial plan appear
absurd

Probably no public man-barring.
possibly President Cleveland-has ever
been more shamefuny and unjustly
abused and blackguarded than has Sec
rotary Carlisle for his labors in connec-
tiou with the recent bond issue. Sen
sauonal newspapers and malicious par
tisan organs have so mauled and twist
ed and confused the simple facts in the
case as to make it appear to their read
ers that Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. j. p. Nor
gan are no better than common thieves,
who We're in "cahoots' to rob the Treas
ury. The fact is. however that had
the administration pursued the same
policy it did i'm regard to the imme-
diately preceding bond sale, namely,
made the best possible terms with the
Morgan syndicate for the whole amount
of the bond issue, to be paid for in gold
not taken out of the Treasury, the
United States Treasury. instead of to-
day having a scant S1OO.OOO.OOO gold re-
serve. would have about 100000, 900 of
gold in its vaults.
When arrangements for a popular
loan were made the Treasury had S63.-
100000 of gold on hand. Had the syn
dictate. which took the former issue of
bonds. been given this lot, this gold. or
most of it, would have remained in the
Treasury. Under the popular loan
plan. however, neither the syndicate
nor anyone else was obligated to re-
spect the Treasury gold, the conse-
quence of which situation was that
every dollar Of the s63.OoOO0O Of gold
in the Treasury was drained out of one
Treasury window to be paid in at an
other for the bonds. leaving the gold
reserve at the close of the deal less than
SO.OOO.OOO Of gold ahead. although
S1OO.OOO.OO0 clear had been asked. for
il was gold. not funds. nor greenbacks.
that the Treasury needed.
The latest unjust abuse of 6Ir. Car
Isle is for his award TO Mr.. J. Pierpont
Morgan and associates of the 100
of bonds not taken by the people who
had subscribed for them but had not
paid for them. Mr.. Carlisle's critics de-
clare that the government ought to
have this profit, and that since the
Secretary OF the Treasury reserved the
right TO reject any and all bids, he
might have nut these bonds up for sale
again. The argument, TO quote the
New York Evening Post. "overlOoks
the fact that the Morgan bid was for
