safe-guard a most important undertaking. The whole affair, so far, as can be fearnt at present, appears to be an outrageous disgrace to the Colóny and as clear an evidence as was ever produced of the sheer incompetence of that authority who is at the head of, and who has attempted to plan this system of utilising convict labour. Let us hope we shall bave some beller guldance at the helm in that time so long fore- told when drilled and well organized assailants are knocking at the gates of the harbour, and who will possibly make their presence felt much more effectually than a wretched handful of manacted and retreating coolles at whose simple escape certain officers of the Colony have been found a fourth or filth time, within a few months, wanting in ordinary resources.

JAPAN IN SEARCH OF AN ETHIC.
(Transinied by Hyogo Newsfrom the
Shinonome Shimbun.)
Much has lately been axid and written in some of the foreign newspapers published in this country about Japan being in search of an Ethic. The assertion is not supported by fact, as the Japanese people have too much good sense to do anything of the sort. To run looking for an Ethic would be like a child going in pursuit of a butterfly,
It is well known to the people of this country what great discords and varieties of opinión exist upon religious subjects oven in the most advanced and intelligent communities of Amer ica and Europe.. Hence, it would be an extremely difficult task, even if we desired to do so, to select out of that chaos system of ethics upon. which to confer the title of the true religion. It is our humble opinion that those who have had so much to say about "Japan in search of an Ethic" have some pet scheme of their own they would like to introduce for some reason or other, and to them we offer our thanks for their good intentions, and at the same time advise them to permit the Japanese people to develop an Ethic or religion of their own if they desire a different system from what now prevails. They can safely be entrusted with the task.
We also call the attention of those zealous writers to what it appears they have verlooked, viz, that a religious system cannot, after an existence of many centuries, be cast aside like an old garment, and a new one adopted at a moment's notice. It has often been observed that a performance of this kind invariably results badly.

It is truc, no doubt, that all natinns stand in need of mental advancement, and we submit as unanswerable that the people of Japan, with their temperate habits, their industry, their tolerance, and their affection for each other, occupy a position equal to that of any other country for mental development. Consequently our liberal school system and admirable scholas tic institutions of a higher grade may be depended upon to produce the desired advancement in due course. It must be acknowledged by all impartial students that advancement towards a higher culture does not involve the adoption of ironclad dogmatism, but consists in the study of nature's grand principles, of nature's laws, ingafe, a Japanese newspaper published at San the cultivation of science, and in bringing those immutable laws to bear on our niental and physical being. In this way an Ethic will then be evolved which will teach the high moral doctrine that evil-doing will, not only in a future existence but in this life, bring its unavoidable punishment, If we by wrong-doing deprive Ourselves of sympathy with nature's laws, our mental and physical peace and happiness are disturbed and suffer, because nature, of which is the Bighest product, the highest essence, is all sympathy. Through such study and in such direction the national Ethic or religion will be improved and purified. Religion never civilised. a people, it is the people who civilise religion.
In course of time Japan will, with good results, send missionaries to the bigoted districts of Rome, London, and New York.
