Show THE JAPANESE GOVEJUTOENT. New York Presa It is quite well established that the Japanese Jap-anese Government continued for over 2500 years exactly the same in form as that of the Mahometan ctllph and of modern Rome. The chiefs of religion among the Japanese have been the chitfs of the kingdom much longer than in any other nation. Th. succession of the pontiff kings may be traced with certainty for more than 7i0 years before our era. The ecclesiastical eccle-siastical Emperor was called "Dalrl," a name now used by the people for the royal roy-al residence of the M'kado, or for the court itself. Until recently the Mikado was regarded as too sacred to be called by his right name. After the overthrow of the pontiffs the Dalrl was kept In honorable honor-able conf.rf ment by the Mikado and was tieated with the utmost respect, for th. people revered him as if he were an idol. - |
