eminent, says Leslie's Weekly There
can be no doubt that there Is new
life In Japan. The most striking evil
dence, perhaps, Is to be seen In the
new navy. which Is attracting so much
attention. Another evidence OF the
new life Is seen In Iapan's political re-
forms. Less than thirty years ago
there was feudal government under
which there was little room for per
sonal freedom. All below the military
class. constituting about s per cent Of
the population, had relatively few
rights. They could not even petition
for the removal Of abuses except az the
risk OF immediate death Now they
enjoy constitutional government
which has already hroadened out iar
beyond the limits prescribed BY its
written charter, and which exhibits
decided tendency toward the British
system. 4 judiciary has grown up
