We received yesterday copy of the North China Daily News in which there is published a letter dited Hengkang, 20th March, and algued Tae Hongil In It the welter, who evidently a well-educated Chinaman, plats cut to al countrymen the value to Chinese of knowirdge of the English language and he denounces the conservatism of the Ifterall who "obsituately adhere to their ancient ideas and disregard all knowledge of the rapid progress and marvellous development of science in Western states. The letter is an entertaining chat on the subject, and as it will doubtless interest Europeans as well many hundreds of is one I can quite understand the authoriiles do Hongkong and Straits Chinese we need offer

REDUCTION IN CABLE RATES.
We sue informed, says the Japan Times, ibat This kind of criticism is uncalled for, and does
anme refections will come into force from Jaly more harm than good. It is clear that the writer
next in the rate of charges for foreign telegrams, has not given the subject his careful considera. As the result of the deliberations at the Inter tion. He begins by laylog stress on the surpris-national Postal Conference held in Hungary last Ing popularity of the study of English, and mean | year, it has been decided to reduce îbe rate to say that its dents and supposters are jeopar- dising themselves. This popularity is, however, a fact, and the following are some of the reasons for its being 10:
1.-English is the principal channel for universal kowicdge.
2-Friendly intercourse exists between Chios and the Foreign Powers.
3-England is one of the Great Powers, her possessions being strewn all over the globe.
4.—English has concesalons in nearly all of the Treaty ports.
5.-Ergland owns Hongkong, the chlei com- mercial port of China, stasted at the mouth of the Canton River, and to the south of a flourish. ing commercial province.
6-The English trade with the Chinese, and this intercoarte forces the Chinese to become sequiated with the English language, which lo reality becomes a necessity.
7-Trade expands yeary, and the country is brought into clover contact with foreigners, which means a greater influx of English meich. ants, and recessarily corresponding increase In the number of English educated Chloete,
On consideraltan of the foregoing It is clear that the study of English is naturally an urgent necessly, although "crippled" (f. of a "low standard), and subject that cannot be thrown saide, or depreciated. Those that study English and translated matters are enlightened, and they obtain a knowledge of the world and its doings much more quickly than the Haranti of the pro vinces. What scraps of universal knowledge the fierat de gel are obtained from trane lations, books and papers-by English scholars or "cripples" («. the English scholars of to- day), and European missionaries,
Now, instead of being deprecated, should Dot these "cripples" deserve some respect? The wheel of civilisation and progress moves so rapidly that we must seize time by the forelock Not a second must be lost if China hapes to march in line with the Foreign Powern This means that the progress of the world must be carefully studied. At present, the native must be contented with a "cripples," i "a bird in the hand is worth two to the busb." Let us hope that the rising generation will give us eminent men of Chiress and Western culture combined. Of course we all would like to see the young men, who attend English schools in Calos, with an advanced educailos, bo* such can only be attained in stages. Now is not the time for ach grand expectaileds,
per word. between Japan and Europe ( present g hincs 35 centimes) 1 7 francs yo centimes, the properti a at reduction in the terminal fax in Japan and the charge out- sida Janan bring r5.centimes in the former and franc to centimes in the latter. Reductions will also be made in the case of telegrams between Japan and Chins and other Eastern countries, We are also informed that the Government has under contemplation the grant- ing of special priss rates for foreign telegrams, messure which has long ben badly needed, This news will be welcomed by everybody. We hope that nothing will happen le falsify our la formation.
