EARLY JAPANESE CHRISTIANS,


dred Yea Ago,
From documents recently uNCarthel
In the vatican archlyea, II appears that
an embassy OF Jagllese Christians
visited tie pope a Ryme early IN the
seventeenth century, From these doc:
ments G. Missouri, Of the University OF
Toxic, has drawn a history, horctoforr

Japan in the sixteenth century, his

which Is lmpGr,s.t in that II parallels
the history Of lhe later and existing
missionary endelyor In japan and
China, and again emphasizes the mis-
takes and difficulties which seem pc
culiar to such work. We translate
from the article by Mr., Mitsuknri In the
Hlstorche ZciIschrlft:
In 1549, eight years after The dis
covery" of Japan by the Portuguese,
Xavier, the apostle Of the Indies came
into the country to preach the .tachings
Of Christ, and at the end Of the cen
tury the number of Christians reached
100000. The reasons for this asionsh-
ing phenomenon were these: When
Xavier began his mission Japan was
divided into countless small principal
tiles, continually at war with each
other. Buddhism and Shlntolsm then
less separated than today, were corrupt
ed to a degree, Hence the people let
themselves be readily carried away by
the fresh and sturdy Christian propa'
ganda. But a reaction Agalnst This uni
yersal dlsmemberment Of the realm ap-
peared. First, a prince, Nohunaga
called Enemy Of Buddha,' because he
attacked unsparingly the powerful
Buddhist monasteres, showed the more
favor to the Christian teachings, In
order to gain support against the Budd-
hist priests, and the new coctrlnc
spread rapidly, especially in the south
ern provinces.
But these favorable conditions were
not to last 1852 Nobunaga was muir
dered The attitude toward the Chris
tians of his successor, the powerful
Hideyoshi, was very different, and per-
secution began, which was due partly TO
the intrigues Of the Buddhlsts, the ar
rogance Of the Christian priests In their
attitude toward the ruler, and the boast
ing declaration of Spanish shin cap
tain that the mighty king Of Spain was
sending his priests into foreign lands IN
order first to convert the people and
through this means to make their con-
quest more easy But the true reason
was the desire for unity among tn.
Japanese.
The Christian priests used their
power to aid conversion by violence and
persecution. There was also s:'ife and
jealousy between the different orders
1t is, therefore, readily ineligible that
the ruler, led by an idea OF unity, plan
ned to remove the religious differences
and to rely rather on the Older religion.
Buddhism, which retained Its hold over
the majority Of the people. In 1887
Hldeyoshi ordered the Catholic priests
to leave the country. To give cmpha-
sis to the decree six monks and twenty
Japanese Christians were crucified. His
successors in the main followed his
policy, and gradually firm policy was
established which could outlast the
death of any one chief, and to this
system belonged the extermination OF
the first Christian church in Japan

made a gala day. Everybody is In his
best clothes, the band is out, the
houses are decorated and II Is a reg
ular festival OF course 1t is impossi-
bic for It to be otherwise. What
committee ought to see is the regular
life of the Settlement. Representative
Beckley was DESTROYS of seeing this
and made application to the Board of
Health for permission to visit the Set
Element before the session commenced.
This the Board refused 1t is true that
Mr. Beclxley was then only member
elect, and not having taken the oath of
office. had no official standing, such as
he now has, but it would have been
good policy to have allowed Mr.. Beck
ley to go and take full time over the
investigation.
The Board of Health has done much
to ameliorate conditions at Molokai,
and private benevolence has done
great deal also. That there has been
a serious error of judgment with refer
ence to the poi contract is very true,
and the whole matter will bear careful
investigation. That there is a discon-
tented party in the Settlement is also
true. Whether that party is justified
in it's discomfort is again a matter for
investigation, but it is a question
whether such investigation can be made
with any degree of accuracy in the
limited time which is at the disposal Of
the committee.
That the committee will do it's work
as thoroughly as possible no one can
have any doubt. There is an earnest
ness about the present legislative body
which argues we'll for the future. There
may have been some rawness at the
first, and some wordiness, but it looks
as if the Legislators were anxious to
do their work thoroughly and well, and
as if they took their duties seriously
and not flippantly.

PERSONAL PROPERTY VS.. REALTY

New York is giving great attention
to taxation and Bradstreet's has an
excellent article upon the inequality of
payment between real and personal
property, which is worth consideration
at this time. Bradstreets says:
AT time when the subject of taxa
ton engages so large share OF the at
tention of legislators and the public
generally, some of the facts brought
out in the annual report of the New
York State Board of Tax Commission
ers to the legislature will prove of
more than ordinary interest. The great
salient fact brought into prominence
by the report is the escape OF PERSONAL
ty from taXation-a fact not, indeed,
new, but one which will bear restate-
ment under the conditions of today. 1t
is pointed out that although the law
has ever contemplated uniform treat
ment of real and personal estate, the
practical results have not exhibited an
approximation to such uniformity. The
permission to deduct indebtedness from
the value of the personal estate has
always diminished the true proper
lions upon the tax rolls. Other avenues
of escape for personally have been
found, such as the creation of temper
airy indebtedness, varying residences,
compacts with manufacturers whereby
plant locations are permitted TO COLI
! troll assessors pencils and threats to
shift principal places of business of
corporations. So great has been the
degree to which these and other de-
vices have been successful that 50 per
cent of personal property is said to
escape the burden of taxation.
1.-The dsproportion between the
amount of real and of personal prop
erty paying state and local taxes APP
pears to be steadily growing. This Will
be made plain bv statistics showing
comparisons over a number of years,
which are printed at the end of the an
nual report of the tax commissioners.
For example the assessed valuation of
real property paying state and local
taxes in 1910 was $517,723, 40 and the
assessed valuation of personal prop
erty paying similar taxes was $l2l,-
447, $3.50. In other words, the assessed
valuation of the real estate was some
what over four times that of the per-
sonal property. This relation was
sharply disturbed about the years 1873
and 1874, in which latter year the real
property valuation was not far from
six times that of the personal estate,
the assessed valuation of real estate
being 81 1903, 1926, 872 and that of person.
al property $457 ,941, 401. The dispropor-
ton has grown since then, but not al
ways with steadineSs, until in the year
| 1899 the real estate was assessed at
! 81 81 !. 593, 059 and thu personal property
at $649, 709, 693, or, in other words, the
real estate was assessed at not far
from seven and half times the value
of the personal property"

However there are some more of these

on them on their arrival. An official

Secretary Long was apprised late yes.
erday afternoon OF the report that Rear
Admiral Kimberley. who resides at West
Newton, Mass, is i'll, and may not be
willing to serve. Asked whether he
would be relieved. he said he would
have to take the matter under consider

criticised in Maclay's history. which
forms the basis OF the investigation. Sec
retary Long said that the court would
assemble in the ante-room OF his office at
