ABSTRACT
In Japan they say practically everything of Marquis Ito. Probably all adjectives between c divine' and i devilish' have been coupled with his name by his own countrymen, for this is part of the fate of men who incarnate revolutions. Hito-tabi ashi agureba tenka ugoku —
—is a tribute of his political followers, who are, as often as not, the nation. Two years ago his political lieutenant was assassinated. An able influential daily newspaper of Tokyo hinted, not at all darkly, that there was surely also a dagger about for the late lieutenant's chief. But the Revolution has not strangled its Mirabeau.
