To-day it is the Cantonese who are most jealous for their country's interests and good nama. We need but mention the Fatu Afaru case, the case of Macao, and the still unfinished trouble over the Prata Talenda, In all those it is Canton which ́has taken the lead. But, it will be argued, everything we have said so far tends to prove that the Cantonese is a rebel. His present patriotism shows itself especial ly in his opposition to a foreign govern- ment, the Manchul The argument is some what far-fetched. We know well that the Cantonese is no lover of the Manchu. There are even in England a few who still cherish the memory of the Stuarts as the "Men of Tang" do that of the Mings. But that does not necessarily make them traitors. A Can tonese above all things is a iman of common sease. If he were certain of the success of * rebellion he might venture upon it. But eren Mr. Meyer's informants were convinced that in case of a rising the Imperial power would be more than a match for the in surgents. We believe that is so. unless there were treachery in high places. No mere rumour of ill-will convinced us that the hard headed. Canton man is going to run the risk of being reduced in height by a head for nothing. The Mercury, after re ferring to gentlemen like Dry: Sun Yat-sen, concludes: "We hardly think rebellion fr Dear." Now we ask, is that a fair and proper way in which to dismiss the critical remarks of a man of the calibre, the character and the genius of the Rev. Mr. Meyer? We know that missionaries and drum-thudding evangelists were experts with the loog bow, but we think that with few exceptions their terminological exactitudes will be accepted without remark. Instead of seeking to con vert the riff raff of Hongkong, and indita humorous tales for unsophisticated maga- zlues, Mr. Meyer should remain at home in. the shade of his own vineyard, and, when the spirit moves him, give interesting and wonderful studies of the pagans in China to the heathens of Whitechapel.
PAND THE BRUTE".
What was the maxim which the dowagers of old used to inculcate in their daughters whan the hunt after an "eligible" was in regard? It had nothing to do with personal charta; flounces and flattery were valuable adjuncts but not really Indispensable; love WAI usually relegated to the past. One thing and one thing alone was the sure bait and it was contained in the words: "Feed the brute." "Nowadays," the unfortunate brute has to feed himself, for in the Orient it not considered right that the Indies of the household should know anything about the kitchen. One is led to these remarki by the perusal of a letter which, appears in the Shanghai Mercury, Indited by some un fortunate individual ho sigos himself "Star ving.
