G 2 HE CGVEhXMENT AND PEOPLE OF JAPAN. UeliflLln ficcotiuta concerning thfl people and Oovmmit'iit of Japan are (liilicult to obtuiu. Many errors have obtained currency among American:) concerning this isolated and singu lar peotile. IVrLaps thd most prominent of tlie.e is the idea that the (lovernuieut of Japan has a douMe head, that there are two Empe rors, one political and the other spiritual, and that the political Emperor is the Tycoon (or Taikouo), who lives at Yeddo. There is but one head to the Empire, and he Is the one who has Veen supposed to Ve the spiritual Emperor, and lives at Miako. The Tycoon is the fourth in authority from the Emperor. The Govern ment of Japan is an unlimited despotism in theory. J here is uo written Constitution, lhe will of the Emperor, when proclaimed, be comes the law of the land, without let or hin drance. The only external control upon the exercise of power is custom. All the people of Japan, including the officials, are hold be neath the away of custom. What has been for ft long series of years must continue to be. The precedents of a venerable past are of Bupreme authority. Wo may not safely trans gress the traditions of tlie Fathers. "Well rjouph" is to be "let alone." It is not best to enter npou novelties. lleneo Japan abounds in governmental regu lations and in social customs which are justi fied only on lhe ground of their antiquity. The very ground of attack by a Yankee would he the ground of def nno by a Jap. Any oliiciHl connection with the Government exalts an individual above common men. Tie higher the grade of ollice the further 13 the incumbent removed from the sphere of ordi nary existence. The Supreme Kulor of Japan is lifted up above all creatures, lie dwells apart in a life of sublimated isolation. Tims he exists apart, "grand and peculiar," but whether "gloomy" or not one cannot say, but many presume that in the society of his wives and in tho supreme administration of atl'airs he manages to have a pretty cheerful time of it. Ilia attendants are the chief dignitaries of the land, lie is called the Son of Heaven, but in lact the only real hearty sentiment of wor ship which the Japanese people possess is towards their Emperor. His dynasty is the oldest in the world. Authentic records of the present reigning family are in existence which carry its history as far back as six hundred years before Christ. Under the Emperor there are three hun dred and sixty-five (perhaps one or two more or less) reigning princes, each of whom has his department. There is a large aristocracy in Japan distinguished by the wearing of two Bwords. Any male born to thi3 mark of superiority begins to wear his two swords as Boon as he appears in public. Tho children wear their wooden swords. The two-sworded gentry have special privileges, and superior consideration in society. In Japan, of those not connected with the Government, and who are engaged in produc tive labor for a livelihood, the agricultural class occupy the highest social position. The class of mechanics comes next, and tha merchants or traders rank lower than either. This is as it should be. It would be better for this nation if the influence which social position brings to hear could be so directed that our young men would be encouraged to become farmers or mechanics rather than counter- In regard to grades there is one singular appointment in Japan. The tanners are a pro scribed class. Other classes will not inter marry or even associate with the class of tan ners, except so far as business intercourse requires. The term "leather," when applied by us either to heads, sixpences, or medals, is 4 one of reproach, but in Japan the opprobrium is of much wider and prevailing extent.. The families of Japan are all divided into groups of Jive, for the more perfect administra 7V tion of the law. Five families living contigu- '03iy are under the governmental sway of one i: . jead. These groups of five are again grouped '-nnder a governor of high authority, and bo on until you reach the grade of the princes. In a ptttnf.n 't ; .families each one is held re f pv;,, - good conduct of all, so far as this,.ut .,. uusconductr ot one person is reporti'.i'O'th'DGbverument by a person not of ins group, pu'nithnient is; inflicted on all be loygivg to the, group which contains the offending member. Thua a mo.it constant and eearchingv in, ot espionage prevails throughout . It is'Ahf . fi a person to do anything which is-Tirit,;-. ,vn to his neighbors. A sys tem of passports also prevails, and a traveller, on arriving at a new place, must give a satis factory account of himself to the oflicia's. This, f"fni would come rather hard to us in depei, -sAmericans, especially those accus toineu .if New York city life where a man usually' is ignorant of,.his next-door neighbor, and'ofcerorTare' to be enlightened. Nut tho Bystem in Japan is very efficient for the pre vention of crime. It makes every one inte rested in the obedience to the laws of all his immediate neighbors. It will not do to shut one's eyes to the transgression of others. There are no laws in Japan relating to the union of the sexes, no marriage laws, no legal protection for women against the ills which may attend upon the relations of the Bexes. Yet there is very little polygamy or bigamy. And the large proportion of Japanese hus bands and wive lives together in peace and continuity. The reason why monogamy pre vails is because of the increased expense of attending upon the support of more than one wife. Most of the Japanese are in moderate circumstances. The same reason which the American bachelor gives ior having no wife, me Japanese gives lor limiting himself to one, il.ote of tho highest rank practis practise polygamy more or less Five hundred years ago began the present dynasty of the Tycoons (as we are accustomed to spell the name). The Tycoons belong to the class of princes. At the time mentioned "w pnuce who founded the dyuasty of tivwU 4 a, .BmaU district, was compara the R'ld la 'uct 0l of the humblest of ffl Wter? d, and skillT lie his territory, lie auiassed r . 5u pusatiKHiuT it i i in time the exemUce officer 0ft 1 ! vem the one who earned into ex !nmvU the empire.

Tho who were envious or fearful of the growing influence of tho Tycoon, or who wished to keep the "balance of power" after the fashion of European ruler, were devising means whereby to "take down" the Tycoon, as we say in this country. One way which occurred was to assassinate foreigners, and thus bring the Ttcooii into trouble with the great nations with whom he had male treaties. And these f.ccict assassinations could Vo perpetrated with comparative im punity, because the Emperor had not ratified the treaties. Dut now that this has been neccniplished, the previous danger to the life ot foreigners has passed by. L'nlike the Chinese, the Japanese have a great, respect for Americans and tor Europeans. Ihey appre ciate the power and tho resources, the pro ductions and the wealth, of America and Eng land. The Tycoon was shrewd enough to locate all tho poits (d entry within his own district vheii he made the treaties. Tho result is that he fathers into his own rollers all the income from the taiitli. They have not gone into the hands of the supreme Government. And as ho lays tribute 011 all exports as well as im jorts, lie has reaped a rich harvest, .lie is at 1 merit, practically, the leading power of tho in pire next to the Emperor. Iho Japanese are a peoplo who desiro knnw kde. In this respect they are in marked ci i-trattto the Chinese. They are quick to ltarn, and they are anxious to extend their t here of knowledge. One of tin m has translated the entire Con stitution of the United t-t.iies into the J.ip inese ha puage, with explanatory notes of his own, to Li; pul.liidied for the enlightenment of his countrymen, borne seven Japanese youu, men are now in this country gaining a liberal education, and they show superior intelli gence and great facility in the acquisition of knowledge. Most of them are supported by their fiiends, or by a Japanese prince. The state religion of the Japanese is Bad- 11 ism, derived lrom the Chinese. 'J he Japanese have an original " religion of their on, which was supplanted by lhid hisin. liut these "gods of tho country," nutn Veiing many millions, accoiding to the state ments of the religious books, still receive some attention and regard. One sees all about Jupan, by the road-side, little shrines set up to thef e aboriginal gods, and votive offerings laid in or around them. If a Japanese is tra velling, and does not wish to do anything more expensive, he will very likely toss a stone to the shrine as a recognition of the na tional gods; and hence one will see by the side of these shiinos heaps of stones which have been gathered one by one in this way. The theory of this national religion is, that there was in the beginning three gods existing in a mysterious unity. Tho Japanese history of creation represents the islands of Japan as having been iirst created, and as being the best product of divinity. The Japanese have not much real faith in Buddhism. The seliishness and greed for money and satisfaction in the good things of this life which characterize tho Buddhist priesthood have destroyed the coniidence of the people not only in the men, but in the religion they represent. Then Buddhism is a foreign religion. It was propagated by the zeal of its iirst missionaries from China. It won converts from among the rulers, aud thus became the t tate religion. Then it was fastened upon the people by enactments, which made every deed of real estate and every contract void if either of the parties thereto is not a registered member of ouo of the ten or dozen Buddhist sects, and is not a member of some Buddhist temple. Thus it is well-nigh impossible for a Japanese to trans act business unless he is a Buddhist by pro fession. A large part of the people are fol lowers of Confucius, andiepard Buddhism and all religions with a certain skeptical contempt. The writings of Confucius contain nothing which can be called religion, if one means by religion the relation which one holds to the Divine Being or Beings. His writings are made up of the discussion of the relations which exist between the members of the human family, and set forth the duties which belong to husband and wile, parents and child en, neighbors and fiiends, fellow-citizens and fonigners. The followers of Confucius are without a religion they are atheists aud positivists. In the middle of the sixteenth century the Romish Church sent its missionaries to Japan, and the Romish priests claimed hundreds of thousands of proselytes. But they began to lese influence by jealousies aud quarrals among thimselves, especially between tuo Jesuits and Dominicans. Each was striving to get full control over the chief officers of the Goveinment. The people and the Govern ment, moreover, became alarmed at their as Buniition of supreme power in behalf of the Fope at Rome, which was an affront put upon their own Emperor. At last the Government decreed the banishment of the llomish priests. Tho people rose against them. They slew some, drove others off in boats, drowned a number in the sea, aud finally cleared Japan of every priest. They proceeded still further, instituting the severest measures against the proselytes to Romanism. They burnt down all the churches. They destroyed every book that had in it the name of Jesus. They broke up and trampled under foot all the crosses, and so nrocceded until they had crushed out the last life from the Romish Church, and left not a vestiee of the relicion. Laws were then pro mulgated against the Christian religion of the mobt severe character, and these laws are in force until this day, and the name of "Cbris tian" in Japanese is a synonym for that of "artful usurper." Our American Protestant missionaries havo now been there eight years, and by their pru dence and excellence have shown the people what the Christianity of America is, aud tliat no fear need be felt that tho American mis siouaiies are seeking to usurp the Govern ment in behalf of a foreign potentate. It is hoped that these law3 against Christianity, the only religion forbidden by Japan, will soon be repealed. When this hi accomplished, aud when the commercial intercourse between the people of the United States and the thirty- ix millions of Japan shall bo largely increased; when the Bible is translated into Japannse, as is now being done by devoted Christian scholars; and when self-denying preachers shad no in sufficient numbers from this coun try we may expect to see the intelligent, knowledge-loving, industrions people of Japan lilted up into the light and liberty the culture and salvation 'of a Christian nation.
