Boulger, in an article entliled "I Hang-chang," sat forth what he thinks Li Hung-chang mast induce the Chinese Government to do if China is to be saved. As there things involve, among other flems, the transfer of the capital from Pekin to Haokow, and the constraction of a rallway from that city to Canton, it is evident that China has a great deal to do to be saved and will take a long time to get saved. Mr. Boulger says "By three practical measures -the abolition of the Censors, the reduction of the power of the Viceroys for the concentration
of power in the hands of the Central Govern- ment, and the transfer of the capital to the regeneration of Chios would be effected." But interior-an izsmense stride. towards the true even if all these things are done Chins, although in a stfe way, will not be secure until she has a standing any disciplined by European officers, detalls it might be said that the main idea would Mr. Eaalger concluder--" without entering into

THUus the Singapore Free Press, edliforially, on the and fastant :-A correspondent, " Obser var," writting to the Hongkong Telegraph, pata forward a novel scheme for the delaying of the "Milliary Mulei" by Hongkong, amounting as It does to some $360,000 annually. Instead of having the amount taken, as dictated, out of the sventes, he would have it contributed by the people themselves in some general way. This could best take the form of a ground' rent, "leriable on those who actually owning ground in the Colony are not now called upon to pay ground rent to the CrowD," Ho refers to the tens of thousands of graves OB the island of Hongkong and on Kowloon Feninsula. He calculates that there are 230,000 graves in Hongkong Island alone, and none of this land, after the original laterment fee, supplies revenue to the Gevers ment. If only 150,000 of these have owners (relatives) and if one dollar annually be levied aurent, this money being ear-marked for the Defence Contribution, it would make it possible 10 devole a large sum of money annually out of rercanes to the execution of much needed
