Motives Oh Japanese
1t is not a gracious thing to say, but
many persons who discourse learnedly up
on things Japanese never get farther than
the discovery that Japan is in Asia. Be-
cause Asiatic nations do not, as a rule,
care for those things or attempt those
things which Japan values and seeks to
attain, it appears to be taken for granted
by such critics that Japan, being an
Asiatic nation, has no serious purpose in
striving to adopt Western civilization.
Such reasoning has no weight, of course,
with impartial students of human prog
many who lack either the inclination or
the opportunity to discover the truth. The
answer is obvious. Asiatic peoples may
differ as widely from each other as
those of Europe or America. Because
with one Asiatic nation religion is an in
superable bar to progress, because an
other is perfectly satisfied with it's pres
ent condition and refuses to adopt even
the most obviously useful products of
modern invention, it does not follow that
all Asiatic nations are bigoted or le-
thargic. Granted sincerity of purpose
and honesty of effort, and there is moth
i1ig ~inexplicable in Japanss career during
the past thirty years. The question of
race has no valid title to prior considera-
ton in the case; certainly none as a de-
cjsive factor. For a people who have
shown aspiration for improvement and
only legitimate test is one that estimates
the earnestness of effort and the meas
ure of capacity.-"Harper's" for Novem-

An impression had been created that the
bank had declined to accept the bonds be-
cause its bid for their purchase had been
considerably higher than those presented
by other bidders, but Mr.. Shultz de-
nounced the statement as false. TIL bank
was also accused of attempting to injure
the city's credit. 1t was to repudiate
these grossly untruthful rumors that
President Shultz and the board of man
ayers were prompted to issue the fore
going letter of explanation. The commu-
nication was accepted by the Council and
filed.
Committee of the Whole held a lengthy
session for the purpose of discussing the
bills presented by Engineer Ediow
Harrison, w. d. Edwards and the New

pany for services in the tax appeal cases.
The claims aggregate over $1,000. Mr.. Ed
wards presented a statement, the
exact amount of services rendered In each
bill. The Board then concluded to settle
the claims as soon as enough money gould
be gathered in the treasury. A resolution
to that effect was adopted.
Mayor Pagan appeared before the meet
ing and suggested that some immediate
action be taken to obtain the $40 200 ow-
ing to the city by the Jersey City, Hobo
that unless the company Was forced to
pay the sum now, a serious law suit
might result. Corporation Attorney Min
turn announced that he had already be-
gun proceedings, and the Mayor found
that his suggestions were too late. The
company agreed to pay the sum to the
city upon the receipt of its franchise, over
a year ago.

The civic REORGANIZATION Of japan

The Civic Reorganization OF Jnpan
The reorganization of the whole fabric
Of public administration was one of the
first cares of the imperial government
after the Restoration. 1t may be said in
general that the aim was to establish an
administrative system based as far as
practicable upon Western models. AS a
necessary result, the feudal lords surren-
dered their f1efdoms to the central gov
eminent, and all their administrative pow
ers and functions, which had hitherto
been widely distributed among subordi-
nate dignitaries and officials.
One of the most significant changes was
the abolition of hereditary office, and the
elevation OF, men of comparatively low
rank to offices of the highest dignity and
influence. Such other changes as expert
ence showed to be necessary were adopted
from time to time, until in 1885 the pres
ent executive system was established. 1t
consists of a cabinet, composed of the
ministers of the several executive depart
ments, presided over by the Prime Minis
ter; and of a privy council, which acts
in an advisory capacity. The Empire Is
divided into procedures under governors
appointed by the central government

Whatever the immediate causes, it will
be admitted by all that the public con-
seriousness has been thoroughly
to the evils of our present monetary sys-
| tenor rather lack of system. The suf-
ferings of the Industrial organism have
been acute and unprecedented: the con-
| seriousness of disease is everywhere felt.
If this be granted, the end is not far Off.
The questions now universally asked are:
"What is wrong? are the reme-
dies?" This in its briefest form is the
| raison d'etre of the Monetary Commits
| sion. 1t is now sitting to diagnose i'm
| partially the disease, and to prescribe the
remedy. 1t is the outcome of a move
ment which reflects the healthiest oper-
| atoms of democracy that have been OBJ
served in recent years. 1t Is from the
people, by the people, and for the people.
Above all party, above all sectional feel
ing, 1t is in the interests of the whole
country and not in the interest OF any
one man, nor Of any particular region.
| Larger than any one industry or vocation,
it is the outcome of all Industrial life
throughout the length and breadth of the
land, and stands for the dignity of labor
and production when these demand the
right to be freed from artificial barriers
to profitable and steady employment. It
is evidence of the healthy condition OF
popular government. Stultifying ac-
qufescence much longer in a fatuous
monetary policy might properly have been
our institutions, and of the habbiness of
| the public conscience. The extent of this
movement among the business interests,
its spontaneous origin, its -non-partisan
character, are exceedingly hopeful. AL
though long. delayed, it is SO steady, so
direct, so uncompromising, that it be-
part of recent political activity. Never
before in our history nave the business in
terests of the country combined to secure
the formulation of a sound monetary sys-
tenn, with the evident purpose to follow
the announcement of that result by a for
midable campaign in every district and
precinct Of the nation. 1t is a strong de-
! mand based on the dignity and ~self-re-
spect of our industrial life.-Forum.
