Uneasy Conscience. One feature of the memorandam comes to us as a surprise, That is the inclusion of the signature of Professor Harnack, of Berlin. In the world of learning no nama shines with greater lustre than his, Through more than a gan- eration in the great brilliance of the University of Berlin Harnack has been the bright particular star.' He it was #bostook his |stand beside the Kaiser and docused Britain of treason to oulture", because, when the choice had to be made, she took her part with France snd Bussis, and the little peoplee against the great Empire of the philosophers; and scientists and critica of modern Europe. Now

that no le opinion bac eolma against this species of biga "Kultur" and now that Belgium has been despoiled by the ruth lese hand of the Kaiser this amo genius Harnack turna from the wreck and declares that Germany does not want it as it might an danger German national unity. Qas wonders what such a fellow thinka Germany went to war for.

Daily Press.

Government in Japan: Japan's political' bystem may thus be said to consist of a deli berative assembly with nominal | legislative powers, a Cabinet of Ministers who occupy the place of high officials of their respective Departments, and are only res ponsible to the Emperor, a semi- secret and unacknowledged council of directors, and the Emperor as the nominal ruler. No doubt there are in these bodies

the germs of a constitutional government, but they cannot be considered as farming one yet. They are the old feudal forma of government in a modern guise. The political sense in Japan is as yet so little developed that it may, moreover, ba considered doubtful whether a more demo- dratic form of government would benefit the country. When it is remembered how lightly the members of the Diot regard their duties, how quickly political par ties are formed and dissolved, how easily members drift from one political party to another, and how listlessly the public regard political issues, some hesitation must be felt at placing more power in the bands of any national. assembly. No doubt the present system has its disadvantages; no doubt Japanese diplomacy is more the diplomacy of the "big stick" than anything else, and that her ommercial policy is | hopelemly antiquated and nasuit- ed to her needs: granting all this, it may still be argued that those disadvantages are better than the mob rale which would follow any sudden widening of the legislative powers of the people-a mob rule which would plunge Japan into the chaotic condition of Mexico,
