SOUVENIR OF THE JAPANESE
Bell at Annapolis That Was Presented
to Commodore Perry Fifty
Years Ago.

One Of the reminders Of the early
friendship Of Japan for America now
adorns the grounds Of the naval academy
at Annapolis, Nd
Suspended in pagodalike structure
just OF Lovers Lane" Is queer looking
bronze bell Of unique design. It usually
attracts the attention of visitors, but
few ever learn that 1t possesses his
Tory OF importance It was presented
to Commodore Matthew Perry on July
II, 1854. by the regent of the Lewchew
islands, a dependency Of the Japanese
empire. Commodore Perry was at that
time commander In chief Of the United
States squadron in the Asiatic seas and
minister plenipotentiary, charged with
the duty Of opening intercourse between
Japan and the United States. After his
death, In 1858, Mrs. Perry presented 1t
to the naval academy, in fulfllment of
his wish.
The bell is covered with an inscrip-
ton in japanese, which was recently
translated by young Japanese who was
at one time student at the naval acad-
envy. The inscription reads as follows:
I'm the eighth year OF Riraku and
Konoye Tara Of the reign of the king Of
Lewchew, Kei-shi-yo-hi-ho-o offered a
prayer Of benevolence for the people and
afterward ordered large bell to be
founded. He did this as an act of thanks
giving, and presented it to the temple of
Daisen Anil. in thekingdom, In order that
the king might reign prosperously and
live long, and that the people Of the three
worlds, Heaven, Earth and Hades, might
be saved from Internal doctrines, and
therefore 1t was that he instructed Sho
ko-ku An-sai to frame this inscription:
This beautiful bell has been founded and
hung in the tower Of the temple. It will
awaken dreams of superstition. If one
will bear in mind to act rightly and truly,
the lords and ministers will do justice
in body, the barbarians will never
come to invade. The sound Of the bell
will convey the virtue Tuski, and will
echo like the sing Of Tsniray, and the
benevolence OF the Lord will continue
forever like these echoes.

ANOTHER BOMB.

/ The disclosure in the Ames trial Of
the Republican party's method Of
gathering in revenue in Minneapolis is
interesting, but not surprising. DR..
Ames said on the stand that the former
''boss of the gamblers" was the COL
lector of revenue from gambling houses
and other illicit occupations; and when
asked what this persons business was
replied tartly, ''to get money to help
elect you and the rest of u.s.
This is another ulcer on the body Of
Minnesota RepubIicanism. The cor
rupt old carcass is getting frequent and
and free exposures in these days. The
grating system as it existed in Min
neapolis was as vile as could be i'm
agined- Doc Ames and his associates
have been held up to scorn on account
of it, and the chief culprit has been
fighting for years to keep out of the
penitentiary. Yet it is obvious that
he was only incidently one of the bene-
ficiaries. Whether he had a private
share in the swag or not. the bulk of
it was undoubtedly devoted to public
campaign purposes. 1t was one of the
streams which fed the great lake Of
Doodle, on whose shores the tents Of
the Republican encRmpment are pitch
ed.
1t is not the people of Minneapolis
alone who are touched by this shame
1t is the people of the whole state of
Minnesota. One disclosure after an
other comes forth to taint the Repub-
lican party and to show its utter rot
tenness to the people. 1t has hidden
behind one or two artificial cries de-
signed to befool the public. 1t has
made issues that were no issues in or
der to stir prejudice and passion, solely
that it might keep on undisturbed it's
corrupt and corrupting way.
We have been accustomed to point
scornfully at those Eastern common
wealths where bossism is triumphant,
and where the dominant party is all
lowed to remain in the majority, al
though its resources are fed from pc
litica1 tevies on crime as well as on
business. Let us look a little nearer
home. That same system has been
adopted by the Republican party in
Minnesota, and it is smeared all over
with evidences of universal graft. The
decent people of the. state should rise
uD and put an end to It.

contingent, led by Hart w. Sherman,
president Of the Central Labor union,
thereupen bolted, and with the aid Of
some contestants, held a rump con-
Yention and elected six delegates who
We're instructed for Hearst. The rump
