 al have not read anything tn the newspapers for long time which has given me such a thrill of pleasure as the account of the hearty, indeed, | might say poetic, reception given to our fleet in Japan. After our rude and insulting treatment of their country men In California, Il seems to me like returning kiss for blow, We chase their people from our shores, yet they strew the pathway of our visitors with flowers, and give us lessons in art as well as in refined civilization. We call these people heathens and send mis- sionaries to convert them to the Chris tian religion; but they give us beau tiful object lesson in the ethics of Chris iianity."
 Commenting on the above the Hart ford Gourant says. "He thinks that in all this the Japanese "haye gained a spiritual victory over us, which eve rNhody must see and which Is likely to be abiding.
