It might perhaps be well if the Governor were to re-issue the warnings to coolies and take other measures such as those of last year, which certainly for the time being succeeded in preventing these cowardly attacks on budies.
Looked at from the foreign point of view, the cause of dissatisfaction is not so much the fear of harsh, treatment after conviction, nor is it to be found in defects imputed to the regular prison discipline; for we have the best of testi- mony as to the high ideal which the prisna authorities are exhibiting. After a careful examination of bath the model prison at Sugama and the old-fashioned prison at Ichigaya, the high commendation attributed to Lord Beresford does not seems to me too strong, Barring the cold in winter, I am not at all sure that the Ichigaya prison would be on the whole preferable to the other.
It is rather the, thought of what at least English-speaking residents of Japan must regardas the unnecessary confinement of simply suspected persons, including of course a con- siderable number of entirely innocent men and tromen, which amuses anxiety. It is not a morbid senti nenialism, but the conviction that the system involves on the part of such innocent persons a very serious, as well as needless, lass of time and money, and in some cases at least actual want and inisery on the part of their families, not to speak of the suffering from the loss of liberty which to certain sensitive minds is hardly less terrible than death. Neither do the opponents of the present system mean to charge the judes with any lack of conscientious ness in the exercise of their discrétion. The radical dificulty lies in the fact that the
system emphasizes so strongly the duty of the judge as the protector of society that. however generous-hearted he

This experience was repeated that release on bail would be granted far earlier on the 28th ultima, The water having been and more frequently; and that the allevia tion of the condition of the accused would be so fully recognzied that the judges themselves would rejoice in the change. Moreover, I believe that with the recognition of this bencfit, there would come, even from men now strong in their conservatism, a demand for other safeguards which would cre long place the judicial system Japan abreast of that of the freest nations in the world, as regards its careful reverence for the personal rights of her citizens.
Is it too much, to hope that at the present session of the Diel, at least so much relief as have advocatod may be afforded to the large number of persons held to await trial?. No mep could be taken which would awaken warmer sympathy on the part of the great English-speaking nations, whose interests run so nearly paralled to those of Japan.
Commenting on the above letter the Aokumin Shimbun says:--The views of Rev. Dr. D. C. Greene on the treatment of alleged criminals, that appeared in the last two issues of the Kokamin Shimbuni, will, we hope, receive the careful consideration of the public and the authoritica As regards our comment upon Lord Charles Beresford's discussion of the subject, which was the occasion for clicting the communication of Dr. Greene, a word of explana tion is necessary. From the language used by Lord Beresford, guarded as it certainly was, it would appear that the advantage of counsel and the right of seeing his friends werd altogether denied to the criminal defendant. It was to this apparunt assumption that we ven tured to take exception, Hut, an Dr. Greene points out, it is clear that the liberty of criminal | defendants in more strictly restricted in this country than in Western countries, especially Great Briain and America.

turned on in the Shitaya main, burst the pipes in Okachimachi and in Takecho, and wrought | considerable havoc. It is believed that some of the defective pipes fraudulently sup plied to the Municipality two years ago, are still doing duty in the works, and that the system will be liable to catastrophes at any time. It will be a bad business for the reputation of the engineers in charge, and, indeed, their method of carrying on the work, supposing then to have anything like a free hand, deserves to be moundly censured. But we do not see that they can justly be blamed for accidents diic to bad pipes delivered to them under a system of fraud against which no ordinaty precaution. could have guaranteed them. It would have been safer, doubtless, to take up and discard all the pipes furnished by the dishonest compal but the Municipality has probably hesitated to incur such an outlay. It is impossible not to reflect now how enormously the citizens of Tokya would have gained had they divested themselves of romantic and utterly unpretical ideas, and obtained their pipes in foreign markets. The first water-works made in this country, those of Yokohama, under the direction of a foreign engineer and by means of foreign material, were finished expeditiously without hitch of any kind, and have been rendering good service for a number of years. The same engineer planned works for Tokyo 13 years ago, and a Japanese company offered to construct, them within years, asking only for a Government guarantee of 6 per cent, and promising to hand over the works gratis to the Municipality after 30 years, The Municipality is paying 6 per cent, on a much larger sum than that involved in the original plan will have to pay back the borrowed principal too, and seems likely to have to wait a considerable time longer, before the city has 'n supply of water" afan Maili
