Chinese Times deals some trenchant blows
at the ridiculous custom which has long prevalled with newspaper correspondents in Chinese towns and amongst writers on Chinese matters generally, of describing every petty official in the Middle Kingdom RA "his Excellency." This childish fashion of indiscriminately using purely honorary and utterly meaningless titles to all and sundry "button-holders " is not confined solely to Chinese man- dariris-aven in Hongkong it has developed into
a sickening nuisance, of which the literature connected with the recent Jubilea tomfoolery gives very conclusive proof. Governor DIS Vaux is of course, for obvious reasons.
antique excrescences on commonsense of a bya-gone age are in these degenerate times made the subject of ribald laughter and openly expressed ridicule. There is another title, that of "Reverend," which might fairly enough be made the subject of adverse criticism, but may safely leave it to find a quiet resting place all in good dimo. And we leave C. M. G.-ships, Windsor uniforms, and some other similar old-clo-shop anomalies to find their own level; but our Tientsin contemporary's comments on Their Excellencies" are too good to be held over, and therefore
