The reprimand was due praiably not so much to Yuan's stupidity for being drawn into it, as the Viceroy said, as to the detection and failure of his own wicked conspiracy. And still in the face of this criminal record Yuan continues the representative of China to Korea In violation of the closing paragraph of the first article of the treaty between the two countries, which says:-

LA HUNG CHANG'S INTERFERENCV. While this work was going on the chief com- missioner was informed that the Viceroy Li would not permit a port to be opened at that place. The chief commissioner, humiliated by this unjust and unwarrantable interference, was compelled to direct the vessel with the Customs officer to return. At first the King declined to

In the discus." Denny's pamphlet, as it is called. Although sion of this subject the Viceroy based his objec. tion upon the erroneous and illogical grounds that, as Ping An is near the port of Newchwang ia. China, an open port there would seriously interfere with Chinese trade. In the first place, Newchwang is several hundred miles from Ping An, and, secondly, there is not annually a thous and dollars' worth of trade carried on between the two points. But if there were even one-million dollars' worth, or ten for that matter, are the revenues of the Korean government entitled to no consideration by China, or was it the object of the Peking government in getting control. of the Customs service of Korea la so direct and manipulate it as to make the natural resources and wealth of the country subserve the interests of China instead of Korea? The right of every State to increase its wealth, population and power by opening ports for the stimulation and encouragement of trade, the extension of its navigation, the improvements of its revenues arts, agriculture and commerce, is incontrovertible, and is recognized by every civilized nation under the sun, and the sooner China is compelled to recognized the fact also the better it will be for the family of nations whose comity and fiend ship she essays to share, as well as for her own interests. Neither do the commands of the Viceroy stop opening ports, for His Excel- lency asserts, without stammer or blusb, that Korea cannot negotiate loans with which to aid in the development of the natural resources of the country, or transact in her own way, as she has for centuries past, the business of the government, without first asking and obtaining the consent of China.
With the idle and profligate Yangbar class (so-called gentlemen) which now feed upon the labour of he country like so many vultures, because it is considered dishonourable to work, abolished and compelled to earn the bread they ent, and the agricultural classes stimulated and encourged by the protection of the surplus products from the squeezing and other illegal exactions now Inid upon it-sure to follow sooner or later under settled political conditions-Korea would then enter upon that era of prosperity which the natural wealth of the country so justly merits.
A few words now in reply to the stale charge that the King is weak and vacillat- ing in character, and I leave the subject of Koren's sovereignty and grievances to those who are able to protect and right them, and upon this point two years' experience as His Majesty's foreign adviser and Vice-President of the Home Office (privy council) should enable me to speak advisedly, for during that time some of the most trying phases of the Korean problem have pre- seated themselves for solution, and through them all the King has shown a firmness, cheerfulness and patience worthy of any ruler of a great nation. Often his langunge and bearing have indicated much anxiety, but never weakness or anger. It is true that since Korea's contact with Western people, dazzled by the glitter and novelty of the change, and encouraged by the smooth words of adventurers and some unscrupulous persons, the government has been led into taking impracticable ventures, whose falleres bave created a reputation for extravagance, and fickleness which will, perhaps take years, of prudence and economy to remove, but every Asiatic nation has had to pass through such an experience, and Koren must have hers also After despatching the Ministers to Europe and America against the imperial protests of China, the King ought not to be longer accused of either fear or a want or firaness of character. His Majesty received the protest with that quiet dignity which had characterized bis bearing la other important matters, and after, hearing and Carefully weighing China's objections-relying on his rights as expressed in and guaranteed by Ministers were ordered to leave for their respective posts, against the ultimatum of the Pekin government, the positive conditions prescribed by the Viceroy, as well as in the face of the blustering conduct and diplomatic antics of Commissioner Yuan, supplemented by the persistent efforts of a few cowardly Korean officals, whose well beaten track between the palace and the Chinese Legation indicate the character of their patriotism as well as their devotion to their King. No, from my own knowledge I should rather say that His Majesty.

A few weeks ago (says the Sydney Bulletin) Jonathan Roberts, a man of no particular account, who was working out a sentence of five years imprisonment for horse-stealing at Timaru (NZ), found that some one had left the door of the gaol open, and, naturally enough, he walked out. He travelled some distance and remained. way a considerable time, and when at last be was discovered he had obtained employ- ment on a firm, and was doing his best to earn an honest living. This, it might, be supposed, would have served as an argument in his favour, but the wooden-headed minions of the law thought otherwise, and Roberts was sentenced to twelve months' additional impri- sonment for trying to reform sooner than his sentence permitted. The reason why Roberts. was caught at all was that he had not the means to pay his passage to some other land, and that he did not care to raise the necessary funds by robbery and violence-in fact, he seems to have sacrificed bis new found liberty in a misguided desire to lend a respectable existence, and the legal authorities promptly. decided that this unworted anxiety to do better was a thing which must be squashed with all possible force.
No Claims will be admitted after the Goods At least this is the only feasible interpretation of their conduct, and if fonathan Roberts did not get his additional 12 months imprisonment for have left the Godowns, and all Goods remaining being found working quietly on a farm it is diffundelivered after the 4th October, will be subject gult to say what he did get it for. He didn't break anything or anybody in leaving the prison some fool who hasn't received 12 months or any other term of imprisonment left a door open and he simply accepted the mute invitation and stepped outside. There is no law which lays down the axiom that a min shall stay in prison of his own accord; the sentence passed on a criminal states that he shall be kept in pilson, and when loors are not even closed he is certainly got "kept" according to any sane interpretation of the word. The question at issue was whether it was the duty ofthe prisoner to stop in gaol, or of the prison officials to keep him there, and the Court decided that the right- minded criminal shall be anxious to remain his cell; and if he doesn't hunger after confine- ment he must get some more of it to teach him to appreciate is beauties.. In other words, the New Zealand luminary who turned his distorted moral eye on Roberts case holds that it is the duly of the prisoner to imprison himself when so ordered by the court; and when this view is fully adopted the probabilities are that the murderer will be required to hang himself and the to flog himself, and something will be done to each of them if he refuses to carry out his sentence, The entire law under which prisoners are punished for escaping from gaol is lunacy of the first magnitude. The man who escapes by damaging his gaoler or his gaol may be dealt with for assault or damage to property in the ordinary way, but the decision by which a man's scatence. in increased because he went through an open door sible for his own safe-keeping, and the prisoner who is to imprison himself might as reasonably fry himself and conduct the case for his own prosecution. Jonathan Roberts now stands out as a warning to sinners who want to reform their ways. His fate will teach olber men in like positions that attempted respectability pays no dividends, and that the love of liberty, once regarded as the noblest of human impulses, is a thing which calls for another year in gaol,

THE NEGLECT OF LIFE ÁSSURANCE.
THERE is no feature of our clvilised life thai strikes a thoughtful, man with more force than the negicci of LIFE ASSURANCE. By payment of a small quarterly, subscription any man of good health can secure a very large sum to his family in case, of premature death, yet hundreds of families brought up in confori- pertaps in luxury-are left in extreme poverty every year from the bread winner having neglected to assure his life. In the East many a man lives up to his income, knowing well that if death cut him off suddenly, his wife and children would be left almost wholly unprovided for. All this can be prevented by Life Assurance.
