Either Way Sults England. As for the Motherland, her naval prestige stands to gain either way. The state of opinion in England is not a reasoned ar- proval of the offered Dreadnoughts in themselves, but a feeling of gratitude and pleasure that the Dominion is willing to bear a abare in the ever-growing burden of naval defence. So far as in- dications have gone the Laurier. policy will be ther costly to Canada, but we believe that it will be more oreditable to the Dominion, that it will leszon the burden of con struction and manning (already a carious problem) upon the Mo.../ ther Country, and that it will to more advantageous to the Empire as a whole, Clearly, as far as the Mother Cornity is concased, it the late Premier's had been the first offer made, it wou'd have been as joyfully accepted as Mr. Borden's gift of ships to be mana- el and maintained by the Impor il Government.

Chinese Politics..
We have cten the saggeson made in a Ohinees paper that the memlire nia neglecting their daties in pursuit of pleasure. Even while the National Assembly elections were in progreɛs in the country it coms that there was always in the capital many more than enough members to form aganum, 60 that urgent business in their constituences cannot bo pleaded as an exc08. At times the allendance of these paid legislators has fallen below twenty, and on one important occasion, oven as low ga eight. The Chinese papers are doing their duty by strongly condemn- ng this apathy which has made
the Connell a by-word, and aro appealing to the members of the new Assembly to got a lot, ter example. We may hope for improvement, but oiroumstances. in connection with the elections in the provinces do not encourago confidence that the new Ascombly will be better in this respect than the one it displacea. For example, we read that at Focshow, when the Damoocals in the Provincial Assembly saw that the elections to the National Assemby were going: against them, they left the Cham- bar in a body, so that the elections
AND THE BEST WORK GUARANTEED! could not be completed. Some- 16, L'AGUILAR STREET.
