VICEROY, AND AUTHOR.
The intelligence that P,E. Viceroy Tuen Fang is about to publish a book on moderne politics embodying the results of bis observa- tions during his tour through America and Europe in 1905-6 has wider interest than usually attaches to the prospective making of books. In many respects the tour of the Chia. eas Travelling Commissioners was unique; and a faithful racord of their experiences would be calculated to enlighten even a mare travelled audience then the Chinese read-" “ing" public. "Of all such undertakings it bore the least resemblance to a glori fied picnic," "and did fulfil, as far aỊ, wai physically possible, the objects it had in viow, With the seriousness and industry which might have been expected, the Commissioners a and their staffi'from the ostest devoted them- selves to their various subjects. Accor ung to the pre-arranged p'an the several branches of politics were divided between each group of *Commissioners, and these were told off to prosecute their inquiries in the most practi. cal way available. The departments of State of each country that they visited. were thrown opeu to them, and accompani ed by competent officials they were enabled. to make a careful, study of the actual me chanism of a Government Office. Agaio, when. occasion offered, the theory of each separate subject was expounded to them "out of hours": by qualified 'professors or others. Copious fotes were taken by all the members of the Commission, and from time to time views were exchanged among themselves. So great was the fervour and interest displayed, in these in- formal debate, that any hope of "writing ap a subject on the tour was soon abandoned, and the question of a report had to be post- poned until the retura to China. H.E. TUAD Fang as the head of one group of Travel inn' Commissioners would 'baye access to all the compilations of his party, and it may be sup posed that his book will be based on these as well as on his own personal investigations, -indicatena Typhoon--Not the least significance-of-such a public- to the Went of the ation 'is the fact that it constitutes a con Colony,
scientious effort on the part of a representative of the Chinese ruling caste to spread 'eulighten- ment among the people. A step in this direction has a far more practical bearing on the ultimate rehabilitation of China than . Dumber of well-ecolog edicis. In contra distinction to Japan, China is handicapped by possessing a more or less incapable and un sound aristocracy, with a vast proletariate of.... infinite potentialities, but-ignorant and degrid- ed. Japan on the other band is fortunate in an... able, unlightened and unselfish, aristocracy, although its rank and file lack many of the 'finer"attributes of the Chinese masses; ~The
result of this difference in the constitution of the two peoples is at once seen in their/ respective histories. With the motive power supplied by an intelligent and patriotic ruling caste Japan was able to pass through ber era of transformation with a rapidity of progress that rightly astonished the world. There is. btle hope of China fullling her destiny with similar afatriy. - An' enlightened and ener getic ruler could avail, much; but the atmos phere of the Palace at Peking stands in need of drastic changes before such a novelty sould grow up in it. In the absence of the necessary stimulus in the highest places China has to rely for her salvation upon the efforts of the few men who, as Viceroya Yuan Shib-kai- and Tuan Fang, stand out above their class, unless the country in to attain its destiny. through the exhausting turmoil and excesses of a revolution from below, Both processes are, necessarily slow, for there is abundant scope for the obatructing deadweight for reactiva, Any attempt to force the pace is almost sure to add to the sorrows of the country, Russia in its pre- seat upheaval affords a striking illustration of an attempt to accelerate artificially a popular movement. Both the First and the Second Duma imagined that reform from below could be forced arbitrarily upon an unwilling officia}. dons, with the result that to-day avan,the semblance of constitutional government accord 'ed by the Manifesto of October 1905 is lost to
the country.

For such reasons and is consideration of the peculiar circumstane.s of China, we may welcome for her sake at least the attempts festinare lente on the part of those who are the champion's reform. The publication of the Viceroy's political treatise, which may even prove dull reading, is a small step in the direction of constitu- tional progress; but it will mak a stage in the breaking down of old prejudices and in the turning of new, soil. Chiua soffers from no lack of literature of modern production, bat the practical value of most of it may well be | considered problematical. She is new "to the ' vinue of technical publications and is too apt to associate all scholarship with morality and abstract sciences It may be buped that the practical nature of Viceroy Tuan Fang's com pilation will give a stimulus to technical lutera- ture intended to spread knowledge of nader methods in industrial pursuits,—-N°C, D).News,
