As a matter of course it would be notified to all the Powers and the news would be conveyed officially to all important centres, including Does Hongkong." Would it really? the Editor of the Hongkong Daily Pras know what a declaration of war means; what constitutes a declaration of war? He has not the remotest idea, and consequently when trying with 2015 air of knowledge and superiority that are alike ridiculous to instruct people, he only exposes his own blatant ignorance. It is one of the rudiments of international law that war may exist between two countries without a declaration of war on either side; and as Is laid down by one of the leading authorities, "when war has once been declared, whether by manifesto or by acts equivalent thereto, It is a war not simply between Governments In their political capacities, but binding on their subjects." The Hongkong Telegraph published a telegram from Shanghai on the 24th ulto. that war had been declared between China and Japan, and we know that at that time hostilities between the countries had actually commenced. Since then there has been one if not two naval engagements and pitched battle on a small scale, and yet the Editor of the Daily Press plaintively squeals that war has not been declared and thinks there is still room for mediation, etc., etc.

Our colleague, and we say it in all kindness, would show a wise discretion in confining the exercise of his no doubt subtle but painfully circumscribed intellect to the discussion and elucidation of subjects with which he has some slight acquaintance such, for instance, as surface drains, G. SHARP's system of philanthropy, the art of toadying to high-toned and weak- similar class; but anything requiring brains, thinking power, experience and the methods of independent modern journalism he should religiously avoid and thereby save himself a vast amount of mental suffering.
