Bouth China Morning Post,
The British Commons, The British Commons, nowa-- daya particularly, it a great level- ler of men. It resents the man who affects, a grandiose manner, Super-eloquence borea it to tears or hility. Under ita withering contempt the prig bas no chance. If members wish to create a good impression they must effectively conceal any trace of intellectual superiority. Even if they are known to possess aùch ́un attribute the House will not ̈ have it aired. The Oxford man- ner is fast dying out in the mother of Parliaments and there are few who regret it. Neverthe- lesa one cannot be wholly unmoved by the oft-repeated degrading spectacle of the House losing control of itself. There is, as we declared some weeks ago in die" cussing the subject, no exunse for impassioned and poisoned language in debate. The elected leaders of the people should ever atrive to set an example of condnot to the constituents they represent.

cultural and commercial ine fluence" in China is made abundantly manifest by a review of the steadily improving commer cial position of Germany in this part of the world. It shows that the Government ̈and- German commercial circles are alive to all their opportunities. The most salient fact about German enter prise in China is the success with which it is developing Kiao- show. The trade of the port has been increased from under ten and a half million Haikwan Taels in 1902 to close on forty-seven millions in 1911. One of the main causes of Germany a success has been her olsar perception of the fact that the Pachtgebiet
