The NEST interesting part of life IL
Japan is the emancipation Of her women
The removal OF o!tl-tin1e restriction has
given the interesting women of the Mika-
dos realm the opportunity to show how;
bright and progressive they are under
some of the influences of Western civil
lization. In former times the Japanese
wife occupied the position of an upper
servant rather than the partner Of her
lords joys and sorrows.
But now that the country is becoming
Civilized. this is passing away and the
women are taking their places by the side
of the mon. Already there are japanese
women doctors. teachers. merchants and
writers. and soon there win be japanese
wives in the American sense OF tie term.
These women OF the Island Empire have
not the freedom and honor of their West

restraint than the Spanish women. and

The republican members of con-
eress are very anxious that special
provision should be made for the pun
ishment of an assassin of a foreign
minister or ambassador, but all of
them object to like punishment being
given to the assassin of the governor
Of state. Why so? a governor is
much more essential to the orderly
life of a state than a minister. He
stands in the same relation TO it that
the president occupies toward the
United States. He is as. liable to be
victim of the anarchists malice.
