JAPAN'S FUTURE.
A Vision of What Slight Follow Upon HUf Victory Over Chins. When Commodore Perry knocked the mud forts of tho Japanese about their ears, he supposed that ho was merely opening a new market for western products. In the light of recent events it begins to look as if Perry's cannons really decided the fate of the entire eastern hemisphere.
The result of tho adoption of European civilization by Japan is now seen in the fact that the mighty empire of China is helpless in the presence of the Japanese army and navy. No one any longer doubts that Japan can with ease conquer China and establish a new and greater Japanese empire, with its capital at Peking. The Chinese many years ago were conquered by a handful of wild Tartars and have ever since submitted to Tartar rule. They would submit much more easily to the rule of civilized and intelligent Japanese.
Let us supposo that Japan takes possession of China and establishes a strong and enlightened government. The new Japanese empire would then have a population of 400,000,000. The introduction of universal military service would give Japan an army of 40,000,000 men. Gotdon has proved that the Chinaman can bo made an excellent soldier. An army of 40,000,000 Chinamen, well disciplined, well armed and officered by Japanese, would bo irresistible even by the combined world in arms.
Under Japanese rule China would be covered with railways, and her material prosperity would be enormously increased. An intelligent system of taxation would yield the government an almost fabulous revenue. With this the Japanese could build such a fleet as the world has never seen, a fleet so numerous and powerful that not a foreign vessel could sail the Pacific or tho Indian ocean except by the permission of tho Japanese. With its army and navy Japan would find it a mere holiday task to overrun and take possession of India. On tho north it would havo no foes, for Russia would cease to be aggressive and would not merely be compelled to stand on tho defensive, but rely for its defense not on its armies, but upon its snows and deserts. Masters of India and China, tho time would come when the Japanese would seek to extend their possessions. Following the path of the Turkish hordes that long ago invaded Europe, tho Japanese would conquer Turkestan, Persia and Syria, and the Mediterranean would become a Japanese lake. The invaders would then pass into Europe, which would be powerless in tho face of the innumerable soldiers and immense fleets of tho Japanese. The invasion of the Turks, which in the middle ages filled Europe with consternation, was child's play compared with an invasion of millions of disciplined Chinese and Japanese. Tho European fleets would be quickly destroyed and the combined European armies dispersed. The Japanese flag would float over Vienna, Berlin, Rome, Paris, Madrid and London, and in courso of time even Russia would no longer find protection in her wintry climate and vast distances, and the wholo of Asia and Europo would be Japanese.
Only about a year ago, when there was no reason to supposo that war would break out between Japan and China, and when it was supposed that China would always bo more than a match for her littlo island neighbor, Lord Wolseley predicted that the day would come when China would adopt western methods of military organization and would then bo in a position to overrun all Europe. Should Japan completely conquer China what Lord Wolseley predicted might speedily come to pass. It is idle to say that so small an empire as Japan can never hold so largo and densely populated an ompire as China. If 40,000,000 Englishmen can hold and govern 200,000,000 Indians from a distance of thousands of miles, 40,000,000 Japanese can certainly hold and govern China, which lies almost within sight of Japan.
The prospect that the empire of the world may become divided between Japan and tho United States may not at first sight seem a welcome ono, but it does not follow that it would be wholly a misfortune were Europe to pass under the dominion of Japan. In such caso there would bo an end of European wars. The peace of Japan would bo as great a blessing to Europe as the peace of Rome was to the Mediterranean nations. Germans and Frenchmen and Italians and Russians would no longer be armed to the teeth and waiting for the opportunity to spring at each other's throat. They would all havo a common master, and that master would keep the peaco for tho reason that thero would no longer be any enemy to fight. Tho Japanese troops would keep order, and the people of Europe, relieved of military service and safe from all aggression, would be able to earn their living in poaco under a government that would be at least as intelligent as tho government of the French parliament, the English house of lords or the Russian czar. The popo of Rome would probably object to bo superseded by a Buddhist priest, and the archbishop of Canterbury would disliko to give place to a Confucian sage, but tho common people, on whom now falls tho burden of European misgovernment and of tho hatred and distrust between European nations, would, after a littlo while, look upon tho Japanese as deliverers and becomo tho most loyal of all the subjects of tho mikado.—New York Times.

HYPNOTISM DOWN TO DATE.
Tho abuses to which the action of this western jury might give rise if jurors in other portions of tho country should take a similar view of cases in which hypnotism was urged as an excuse for murder aro manifest to every intelligent observer.— New York Press.
This plea—hypnotism—has several times been made in behalf of persons accused of crime, but we do not remember a caso before this where one who admitted having killed another was able to escape all punishment on tho ground of hypnotic influence.—Springfield Union.
If every crime, from murder to shoplifting, is to bo explained away on tho theory of hypnotism, all penal laws will havo to bo modified and experts in hypnotism educated and employed by the state to pass on such pleas. That may bo left, however, to tho twentieth century.—New York Recorder.
A man has been aoquitted of murder in Kansas, though ho confessed tho crime. He pleaded that he was under tho hypnotic influenco of another and stronger mind. The incident is a strong indorsement of hypnotism as one of tho occult sciences, though tho murderer might possibly have saved his life without tho plea by simply turning state's evidence.—Troy Times.

Hypnotism is cutting quite an extensivtf figure in crime nowadays. In Munich a man has been sentenced to thrco years in prison for exerting this peculiar influenco over a wealthy woman and compelling her to marry him. In Wellington, Ivan., a man has confessed to tho murder of another man, but says lie was hypnotized. It is a very easy excuse and worthless as well.—Troy Press.
