Blome to apply the Health Ordinance with great care and moderation has had a good effect, and the spirit of go- ing full tilt at Chinese customs as Don Quixote went at the windmill is disappear ing. In fact, ut reading the speeches, we were forcibly reminded of articles ve wrote two years ago, advocating care and pointing out the many difficulties that surrounded the subject,-articles which earned for us at the time the name of obstreetionists, bat
