Worship of Heaven, Those who attribute to the President in the matter motives which are not prompted by an honest desire for the good of the people are simply doing so in pursuit of that policy which rolases to see any good in the present incumbent of the highest office in the land or in anything be may do or attempt to do. There are still unfortunately a good many individuals of this class scattered throughout the country. The one great feature of such a ceremonial is its recogni tion of Divine power and its in- fluence over man's sots and am- bitions. Such recognition is made

taxes which would secure her a greater income than she now derives, but if Chirn is to have a revenue compatible with the position she ought to take in the world, there is nowhere save to the land tax that she can look for it in the present "slate of affairs. It is, of course, impose- ible to blind ourselves to all the dificulties and even dangers that might attend such a change, although, according to Sir Robert Hart's estimate, it need not cause hardship to anyone➡his memor andum, it will be remembered, provided for a uniform tax of 200 cash per mou (say, $1 per acre), which, be estimated, would yield $600,000,000 rer annum. ⠀⠀ In any case, we still refuse to believe that there is no alternative for China save repeated loans or bankruptcy, or that she is so im poverished a land that it is n permanent impossibility for her meet her comparatively moderate annual expenses.
