ONE RESULT OF THE OPIUM
COMMISSION.
One of the features of the International Commission on Opium which has just re- cently concluded its session at Shanghai was the remarkable oratorical ability of the Chi- nese representatives. As a rule it is difficult to associate the Chinese with thetorical power; aphorisms and wise saws are usually
far superior to anything to which we are accustomed in the Far Fast. What it sounded like we have no means at present of knowing, but it reads like a homily and a lesson. If the results of the Commission's deliberations lead to nothing else, they will have done something towards instructing the world as to the ability and capacity of
Chinese officialdom..

the speeches delivered by the Emperor's delegate, His Excellency Tuan Fang, and the principal Chinese representative, Mr. Tang Kuo-au, shed a new light on the capacity of the Chinese. No doubt sinologues could have told us all this before, but sinologues are a curious caste who retire fariber into their shells the more they understand. The courtesy and grandiloquent compliments which abound in the Chinese language are common knowledge, but the average man is apt to rank courtesy and ignorance, almost on the same plane. How could any one better that admirable tribute paid by. Mr. Tang to the efforts of Great Britain towards assisting China to eradicate the opium habit? He naid in dignified terms: "We are especially glad to meet here the representatives of Great Britain which, next to Ching, is per- haps most interested in this problem. Since the days of Lord Shaftesbury, that name which illumined the pathway for so many world-wide schemes of philanthropy and reform, the delicate and difficult-task of the abolition of the opium traffic has commanded the time, thought, and practical efforts of some of your greatest men. More and more will China claim, by right of her large in- debtedness to them, a part in the glory of such names as Lord Morley, Sir Joseph Pease, Alexander, Broomball, and Taylor. The labour of such as theseculminated last year in that splendid action of Parliament re-affirm- "lng" ita conviction that the Indo-Chinese oplum trade is morally indefensible, and re- questing His Majesty's Government to take such steps na may be necessary for bringing elt to a speedý close-an" action where every consideration of prudence and convenience are buried beneath the moral aspect of the question, I doubt whether parliamentary action of any Government his over reached A higher moral cleration." --And more to the
