platform the initiation of government conducted

more with the characterization OF the government.

The condition in Japan
TN Japan the popular form of government has
been IN existence for nearly generation. Daily
the power OF the mikado is becoming more limited.
Fifty years ago the mikado was the autocratic
ruer of Japan. His word was law There were
councillors, to be sure; but the emperor seldom
consulted them and he was not at all influenced
or bound by the advice they gave him. The pres
ent Japanese mikado saw the folly OF such pro-
cedure, and of his accord began limiting his
powers and rendering his subjects supreme in their
land The work of educating the people in popular
government has been going on in Japan for
nearly a half century, and result OF it the
Oriental isle is limited monarchy. The mikado
is still at the head of affairs in the Sunrise King
DOM but he derives his authority through the love
OF a grateful people than anything else

day, the first decade of the Goth century, it may
safely be predicted, will go down as the most
epoch-makng period in the history OF the human
race. During these ten years the greatest revolu-
