the progress of affairs in China and her relations with other powers, tho more would Chips progress. As matters stand, accuracy is the first quality of Chinese journalism, and a bureen which dieseminated only reliable news would be of incalculable ear vice. But such a bureau for the convenience of native newspapers is too much to ask just yet; the rulers of the Country have first to learn that the immediate suppression of a newspaper, and punishment of its editor, which ventures on criti- cism of Government policy is not the best way ol, securing. an, enlightened press and hence an enlightened democracy.
While the newly-established bureau can be welcomed, there- fore, it must be criticised on the score that it is intended too greatly for the convenience of foreign newspapermen and little, if at all, for the assistance of native newpapers which so greatly require help and guidance. We observed the other day that one paper, managed by Chinese, advocated the need for trade and agricultural journals and the like. That is one of the wisest suggestions we have soon for quite's time. A well-written and that term implies full and accurate knowledge-agrionltural journal, for example, would, do more to educate the Chinese farmer than anything else likely to be suggested or tried. There is, therefore, plenty of work and oppor
