The real editorial difficulty is, as a Sydacy contemporary dealing with the question aptly puts it, when a prosaic barrister or a turgid member of the Legislative' Council talks about three columns of rot, to get it boiled down into sufficiently narrow space. There is, in this respect, a great difference be tween journalism and law.

THE Franco-Chinese complication, according to the Overland Mail, grows dally more involved. On the one side it is asserted that the Marquess Tseng is of opinion that there will be no fighting, but that China will merely-protest, and watch the course of events. On the other it is told how China is arming-and arming heavily-for the fray how Krupp has made her hundreds of cannon; how in a few days she will have twenty armoured ships and torpedo boats afloat for service; how Li Hung Chang has declared that there is no way out of it but by fighting, and how, in a very little while, he could go out to battle at the head of hálf a million of men.
What is certain is that everything now de pends on the action of MM. Challemel Lacour and Jules Ferry. If they decide to go filibustering into Annam, then, and not till then, need we hang upon the lips of Tseng
