The study of history leads one into strange by-ways. It is only after many deviations that one finds oneself on the home road. It is after all very simple to discover, but most people aresuch muddle-heads that they usual- ly do not. The only successful nations have been road-makers. The Romans, whose ideas of discipline and self-denial still con- tlaue to inspire the minds and control the destinies of mankind, were the pioneers of civilized road-making in the Continent of Europe as well as in the barbarous isles of Albion and Hibernia. Straight and smooth, unswerving and uncompromising, are the Roman roads. The Asiatics have been less successful in this matter. The Chiness have not done badly, however. The awful misgovernment of the past hundred years has, of course, shown itself in the condition. of the roads.Who remembers the dear old days, before the railway, when to get from the Four Vin hongs" of Shensi went banky Tientsin to Ho Hsiwu inone day in a Peking rupt.

Without mentioning names, and without burting anybody's feelings, we desire, softly and gently to express our surprise at the suc cess of our Government in hunting down hard cases without securing a single convic tion. People are either innocent or guilty, We must, against our will, but it is our duty,. protest against the policy exemplified by the schoolmaster who flogged the wrong boy When he discovered his mistake he attempt ed to excuse it by saying that that boy deserved Blogging anyway. If he hadn't broken rules to-day he assuredly had done so yesterday or the day before, and was practically certain to do so to-morrow. So the flogging was not a waste of good pedan. tic muscularity, after all. Now this humor dus, but, we think, rather uselessly cruel point of view is not English. If we want to punish a rascal we must first make sure that he is a rascal. Then we must make sure that he has committed some definite crime. Then we must make sure quite sure--that our evidence against him is irrefragable. Sp sure must we be that not even a Hongkong, jury may find a loophole for mercy. This is the only reasonable course. Our juries here always temper justice with mercy, but sometimes what appears to be mercy may prove in the end horribly cruel. We must insist on English methods. cusation, definite evidence, defigite proof- and the issue, whether for severity of leniency, left to the discretion of a magistrate or a judge belonging to the most fairminded of all races in the world.
