our Correspondent can only do his best, and that has hitherto provel to baj fairly nor die mark as to actual facts We have invariably and persistently con- tended that the attitudo now assumed by Great Britain and Japan, concerning the maintenance of commercial freedom to all- comers, is the role which must commend itself to overy country having intercourse with Chins-csecpting Russia and (per. haps) France. Latest Home papers soom to be of apinion that the French Republic cannot be depended upon in any sense oither by Russia or anyone else. So let that pass. Great Britain and Japan
have mudo Dear to
up their minds to tell Russia the old truth of 'thus far and no farther; and as Russia does not jappear to be in a position to oppose Great Britain and Japan as yet, wo think the suggention of concession making nude in ost belograms of fast evening may be taken as indicative of a change of front. It may bo said-and it hw heen said very freely--- that now is the time to show Russia wito
are the superior powers in the Far East. But if Russia refuses to accept the chal- Jonge, then the questim suffers a postpone
ment for a few years. Horren only knows: in what position France tasy be when the question is again raised. When a so-called free Itupublic, the acknowledged leador of freedom of speech awl action, comca under the role of the military, anything
