The edicts bave startled the off.cials, while making a favorable irmmpression on the old foreign residents, who are usually scaptical as to the practical value of such orders. The Emperor has adâ€" dressed to the people a long explanaâ€" tion of his new policy, declaring that in many respects western civilization is superior to the existing order in his dominion and announcing his intention to adopt its good features and discard the bad ones, The most radical edict establishes a postal service throughout the empire. In it the Emperor asks the people to coâ€"operate with him in making the newly established system & success, assuring them that they will thus aid in strengthening the resources of the empire. _A fresh edict followed, extending practically to everybody the right to memoriaize the Throne, a privilego heretofore restricted to cerâ€" vain classes. The latest edict comâ€" mands that monthly accounts be renâ€" dered to the Government of the reâ€" ceipts and expenditures everywhere, and that these accounts be published. The Emperor directs that the edicts be posted throughout the country, in order that the people may see the enâ€" deavors to promote their welfare which he is making.
