YOUNG CHINA'S EXCITABILITY.
It seems axiomatic that lawlessness in any one class taints the others. Hence we find that these Spring microbes that urge to disorderly thoughts, and actions, are active in the breasts of the students. The Peking Slaughter" was a most opportune event to work up that fine frenzy of patrictism that Hes so close to the heart of the students, especially wher, examinations are drawing nigh.
One might admire such a frenzy, if the true patriotie spirit were exhibited in a manner that gave help and relief to law-abiding citizens who ere, hard set on

Patriotim of this colour could only end in that spirit of violence which has brought upon China all the woes that she now so bitterly, laments, and which were the basic reasons for most of her so-called "Unequal Treaties."

JAPANESE CONSULATE
ATTACKED.
The Japanese Consulate is situated in the storm centre, so to speak, of students demonstrations.
There has been no secrecy in connection with the work that camest men and wo men have been carrying on for decades. The hospitals, the structures for incul cating the solemnity of worship have all had open doors. Public lectures have been given on the evils that have been Ching's undoing, such as unsanitary con- ditions, foot-bioding, opium, and un- healthy social conditions. Then when it is realized what an emancipating force has come into the life of China's women- hood and girlhood,, is it not strange that the question must be asked, Why the girl students who owe everything to the teaching and precepts of Christian tea chers should throw themselves into the maelstrom of these hot and cold cur
The popular park wherein processions either start or end, is in the south-western part of the city. The main road from the centre of the city to the park passes the Consulate. As Japanese were said to be closely allied with the "Peking rents -.-G. Daily News
