When this writer says that be the appoint went Sir Claude neliecall has in fluct advertised that when the services of a medical officer are required no Britisher or foreigner possessing British qualifications need apply," he is guilty of what seems very like a delilorto misrepresentation. It is true that there are a large number of British medical men practising in Japon, but how many of the gondemen are practising in Toyko! We may be mistaken. but since the death of Dr. MacDonald, a Canadian, we do not knew of one. The office of medical adviser to the British Legation isgures above noted. not en honorary pest; it is for practical sertion. and if Si Claudle bas sppointed a Germann it is doahtlos becation he is resident in Tokyo, and can be called within a few minutes if necessary, But were it otherwise, Low dres the appointment show that the British Minister considers u German diploma superior to a British? Even this arrow-minded correspondent will admit, we enppose,
that there are some German doctors who are superior to some British, just as there are some British doctors who are superior to some of German nationality. The case with which little incidents such as these are seized upon by narrow-minded persons to beat the big drum of patriotism does not say much either for their good sense or their good taste. The sauna intiridual, moreover, will applaud the Empress Dowager of China, for instance, because she calls in a foreigu raedical man in preference to a Chinese, and will talk about hide-bound conservatism if any opposition is raised thereto, hat if a British Minister should coll in a German instead of a Britisk doctor he is to be denounced as slighting British interests, Ultra-patriots are a curious folk.

It is a pity that at the present time, when Japan's ravy is held in such high esteem by the world, that the representatives of her ally should thus lose control of themselves on the occasion of visit. It would be a good thing if somebody could be told off from the ship to watch the en board when the grogshop people have robbed conduct of the menu and so that they are sent them of all their money and thus have no further use for them.
