CORRESPONDENCE-

CHINESE SLATERY:"

[To the Editor of the China Mail.]

Ja

Sir-I have Been called "rada " by the writer of the "Adversaris,"" and impolita by Fung, Wun-u. Il to criticize others in language rather outspoken is rudeness, then I really do not know what politeneu ́is.. Probably it means calling a Dither butterfly, a buffalo or a monkey. I would not have replied to Fung Wunu's letter, which contains insulting allusions not at all connected with the argument in question-Savery-were it not that he questions my translution of Pi Chip.

In political thinking It is usually for

"The machinery which feedy and clothes the many, is in the hards of a few, who, carried by the im- petus of ancient traditfin, see the advantage of all in their own. The unthinking revolt of the many dis-: quiets, but does not erlighen them. who think it right to do what they have the power to do. "This introduces the vital question:
