Even his detractors say K Well, with all his faults, he's a man of action and anything is better than oblivious laziness," and for the first for months, perhaps years, nothing occurs to disappoint the hopes of those who believe in him. By and bye, however, some event takoa place which in the eye of the publ
ppears to call for prompt action and a de

But alas! their hopes are doomed te disappointment, and the popular official sinks at once in public estimation, to the regret of his friends and the exultation of his exeries The lat ter find it convenient to assert that a long residence in China or the East-d | the study of the language or ignotants of the language or a pauidering to the opinions of his brother officials of other nationalities-is or are the causes of his failure,
Persistently blind to facts patent to the most superficial observer, the same stupid ery is raised again and aratu, in each case failing to touch the. real cause of the ovil. We need scively look far for examples of what we say. Sir Rutherford Alcock is at this facent standing condemned in the public mind for what is termed his "shameful want of energy and pluck," and even Sir Harry Parkos, the idol of the muscular school of progress in the far East, is be ginning to suffer a like depreciation. We admit the facts, but deny the infer ences of those who so loudly condemn our representatives. For convenience sike we confine our remarks to the latten although much of what is alleged is quite Rs applicable to our consuler servic differing only in degree,
The true secret of failure on the pari of British Ministers in this part of the world to fully vindicate their position 1 the eyes of their countrymen, lies in the fact that the theory of free agency cour monly held regarding their duties is to tully wrong.
