DEATH REMOVES LIBERAL.
Count Itagaki Long n Champion of
Japanese Reform.

In the lamented death OF Count TIA
gaki Japan has lost her stoutest and
most distinguished champion OF healthy
liberalism, says the Herald Of Asia. Born
over eighty-two years ago. he took an
active part in the nations history from
early life. working mainly for reform In
the direction Of popular rights and mod
ern government
In one Of his great political campaigns
feeling ran 30 high that he was attacked
by an assassin and escaped with severe
wounds Count Itagaki became Homs
Minister in the Ito Cabinet of 1895 but
owing to his pronounced views on
liberalism he never commanded any
great degree OF confidence on the part
OF the bureaucracy. Who can say how
much Japan has lost by keeping in the
background a man like the late Count
Itagaki, her most valiant upholder OF
liberty, Justice and modern progress2
Count Itagakrs death recalls to tho
Hochi the days OF adversely for political
parties. Its editor says: True the
Counts conversion to democracy was
largely an outcome OF discontentment,
but the service rendered by him to the
country in unfolding the cause of party
politics through fair and foul may
not be gainsaid. Should the present sad
event have the effect OF reawakening his
erstwhile followers to the noble work OF
perfecting the triumph OF constitutional
ism, the foundation Of which was laid by
him. his soul will rest in peaceful eter-
nal repose"
