Chinese official life has ita peculiari- ties. Tho Chinese system regulating] the promotion or degradation of officials is extraordinary. When an official is charged with corruption he is degraded. but when he pays a handsome sum of money he may not only escape from degradation but he may be promoted to a higher rank. Money can do anything, it is said, but it is never so remarkable as the part it plays in Chinese official life. It appears to be so throughout the entire officialdom of China. in recent years with the increase of the public press matters have become less serious than in by-gone years.
