5.-Improved menus of communication, by stoom navigation and (or) railways, between all important trade centres:
6-Internaladministrative reform; reduction in the numbers of officials, leaving an adequately. paid civil service.
Minor points to be kept in view are the noces. sity for improved legislation where foreignors sra obliged to sue Chinese in the patire Courts (such Chinese defaulters or criminals being ot presont practically exempt from jurisdicties)
nad the clourer defluition of the duties and powers of provincial authorities vis-a-vis British Consador officers. In conclusion, it remains to ho said that since revision of the Treaty, of Tientsin may ay refused by either England or China, and since there is little prospect of this rovision, except under conditions that may appear advaniaganus to both countries, it would seem advisable that England's polley in the immediate future should not reckon undaly upon the probability of any such negotiations. If ever the day oemes for treaty revision Great Britain will b able to obtain from the Chinese Government such eczeesɛfons sa shall mutually promote foreign trade and the best interests of the Chinese people. It is valy necessary, in the meanwhile, to neglout ne opportunity of exercising suoli timely pressure as may be avail. eblo, and to avoid rin-à-vis the Chinese Gove mout anything like a half-hearted un apertain attitude. A British Minister of tact and
ability at Peking, strongly supported by the Foreign Office and by as adequate nuval force ou the China station, will do more in five years to locson the fetters that still shackle the Celestial Empire than all the work and mars' of the last two gouerations. Such u Minister is at Poking, and the fleet is probably sufficient for all wediate needs; all that is therefore required is a firm, consistent, not well-diruoted oliay on the part of her Majesty's. Government.
PAY IN THE CHINESE CUSTOMS.
The Leavy depreciation in silver and its effect on the salaries of forsigcers abroad has boon noticed from time to time in car calumas. We have printed but more than once that the Chinese Government, by refraining from any stops to compensate its employés of the Customs service, was neglecting a plain duty; disregard- ing the example of the Indian and Colonial Governments, and of business houses in the Faat, was showing a great want of appreciation for poet eervices; and was fostering a lively. spirit of discontent in the services
It is with much interest we now learn that sa appeal, signed by all the members of the service, is being forwarded to the Government through the fuspector General. The service requests the issue of "compensation al lowance" which will ouebla salarias to be paid on a basis of 59. to the Haikwan Tael (tho original basis mus s. 8d.) oaring to s fatare date the question of the increas of all salaries: Such compensation allowance will, at present dato, amount to an issue of about a milion taels) par ann; it will of course deoreases erchange aproves, if it ever does so. There should be no difficulty in obtaining the issue of stok a comparatively trifting sun. We food sure the Inspector-General will do his best to father the wishes of the service, and that he may rely on the assistance of the Diplomatin Corps at Poking fu arging this, a long needed and well ered consideration, far thair nationals.-N.

The real cause of the rice in price of this oùl towards the and of July is still an open question, me no ca is nhlá to account for it. The Chinese pretend that the present, crop will yield only one half of the norbial amoral. Other reports B
say that a Hongkong firm has entered e. centraet for 250 casas at a low rate and now reeks to come out clear from its engage. meat. Both factors may have been active in raising prices.
