Nor, fudeed, sold the govenment with mach show of grace cercing ita prerogative in this direction. Itle itself open to the very serious shurge of innieting on changes and interfering in mahtera which are far better left to the free will of the people. A government which is perpetually sueding in the small conseras of Tery day life, making regulations in re- gard to drepe to. ba inethod af wearing the hair to the customary made of salute, and such things, is not altogether mistaking tha legitimate sphere of isa fanations, bat wasting power which might be diverted

into a thousand valuable channels. The great

problem which Japan bassolve is how sho ao relax tho striz geney of a system of go- weromant-zhin e been extremely jealous of encouraging a vigorous individuality among its abjecta, compatibly with the orderly develop. ment and mail-of suciety. Sise in powerfalls impressed with she superiority of the results pe

But she 'ahould by this time bare discovered that nearly all this superiority is the the wall regulated. Eberty either reenit af necorded to the people or insisted upon by it. The forward march European society is chiefly dae to the beat and light-to borrow an Binistration from eatural philosophy-prodnesd by the conflict or attrition of opposing prin ciples, and has beau unt littlà aided by the tion of governments. And not only this. The governments to control or direct uttempte this progress bare generally been either fetila or peraicions. If any one will espine the his. tory of France for the hundred years, which preceded the Great Revolution, Be will see how wischievona was that perpetual interference by the government with the afins of every day life! which was.the bunë of French lexislation during that century.

Experistics shows conclusively that in by far the majority of cases the latter faire school of governinent has been the most effective and beneficent, and if the Japanese Government would only realize this | fact, it would infinitely better consult the ini tèresta of the country by acting upon it chan by puraning the couras on, which it la at present bept.

All we can do at present, is to persist in hoping for the best, and at least to congratulate the older residents in China that the division of the Bee will probably give the Bishopric of Hougkong to the venerable and kindly Arch. deacon of Canton, whose praise clergy and laity agees in soboing.
