HIGHWAY ROBBERY,
In the Finance Department at Tokio, I have seen his army of wall-disciplined clerks, working at their journale, casb, books and ledgers, on the English system, according to regulations as exset as thoss that prevail in Downlag street; and in romote towns like Sendai I have seen Mr Okuma's instructions faithfully carried out in all their details with respect both to the local and the Imperial exponditors and It was as l in collection of revenue.

which case the "photographie" incident which was previously mentioned could not have been the sole cause of the excitement. The native officials have assumed their pus tomary role of helplessness, or pretend that the popular feeling is too strong for them. It would not be inappropriate, we think, if the opportunity furnished by this rising should be taken, to obtain a thorough understanding upon affairs generally at Pakhoi. The question of transit-passes and other tradal matters have long been in an unsatisfactory position. Why not clear up the atmosphere generally in that quarter? Such, as we have invariably contended, can always be done by a mere stiffening of the upper lip. Let this now be done. It is not expected that the Midge will leave Pakhoi for some weeks at least,
