Dr. Morrison says that "roforms already affected are remarkable and an unmixed benefit to the people. One would suppose that the Timer would be interested in publishing a list of these remarkable reforms-at least a list of thom, even if there be qa particulars given. But Dr. Morrison does not give a single reform already effected, not one. He has much to say railway is not a about the railway, but o reform. We admire it as much as anyone, but we see in it a business proposition carried out solely for the benefit of the Japanese. It must. ine.dentally, be of great advantage to tho Koreans along the route, hat we cannot include it in any list of reforms. Near the end of his communication Dr. Borrison dos apsak of sou genuine reforms. He says the reform in cuiriey will begin on July 1st, that the Japanese Bunk will reorganise the currency, collect the lugs tax, and will handle all State finance. It is all in the fature tanse, and these prospective reforms cannot be pat in the list of those remarkable ones which have already been effected.

Dr. Morrison says that these roforms that haro been already effected are causing dismay to the Emperor and his corrupt Court of soothsayers, fortune-tellers and parasites. It many be granted that considerable dismay is being caused by the Japanese cupation, sithin their power to haulle nithongh it should be noted that the affairs here in such a way that there should be no dismay; but when it comes to asserting that the Emperor's Court is composed chiefs- (for this, is the plain implication) of sunnahs, soothsagars, fortune-tellers, and foreign parasites

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 27rn, 1905:

We are told that there is a great contrast between the policing of the Korean railway and that of the Russians in Manchuria, "where the people wore sat at enmity by the harsh treatment that they sufferod." Well, a few days ago some American gentiomar wars travelling betwe Seoul and Fns. At a certain station n Korer gentlemen about seventy-five years old camo on the station platform leaning heavily upon his lung staff.

The old man was unable to rise, and his Korean frionds hartened to pick him up. We can bring irrefalable proof of this transaction. It would be well if the " *muỏco handful of gondarmerie" mentioned by Dr. Morrison could be largely increased in order that the Koreans could be scure from such wanton nets of brutality as this.

The most astonishing staterent maile by the correspondent of the Times is that "the Koreau police have been suspended and a Japaness gendarmerie has undertaken since Jannary the maintence of order in Seoul and the surround ing country." To our certain knowledge there has never been a day that the Koroan polic www suspended. They are in evidence every where in Scoal and its vicinity, aud De Morrison could not have walked two bundred yards along any thoroughfare in this city with out passing the little sentry-boxes where they are stationed.

We do not think the extremely one-sided view presented by Dr. Morrison is accurate, nor will it do Japan any real good. The latter have acquired certain rights in Korea which all are bound to respect. Bailroad building is a thing of national and international importance, and the impulso given to the development of the praiseworthy but that, connected with this airy's resources and industries is wholly work, there should be no mistakes no practices that are questionable is hardly to be expected.

One namquainted with the cir cumstances would judge from these words that there must be at least a half-dozen foreign parasities about the person of the Emperor. Now we are acquainted with every foreigner near the person of the Emperor. There is German lady who has charge of, or hos hindif it had sprang up from the earth. charge of the preparation and serving of colla tions and dinners in European style. Her duties are arduous, and they are performed to the t- most satisfaction both of her employer and of his guests. There is an English Indy employed as tutor to the Crown Prince, but she does not attend the Court. There is an American in charge of the electric lighting plant in the place, but his work is solely that of an electrician. Now these three people, English, German, and American, ar stigmatised as parasities and are said to form a part of the Court of the Emperor. They are all salaried employees of the Government, and people of irreproachable standing in the community. If they are puru
