If the Repub- lican Constitution is to be a reality, there must be a serious and honest endeavour on the part of the responsible officers of the State to give effect to its decrees. On the other hand, the hat-blooded young Radi cals who imaging Utopia eau be gained in a day must put some restraint upon their athiasis and remember that it is no more possible for a new State to be erected suddenly on the basis of a new Constitution, than it is for a mansion to be built as soon

as the plans are prepared. Just as the mansion has to be built brick by brick, so has the State to be erected into the ideal by a constant series of reformis, sedulously and patiently underiakoo. This lesson needs. teaching in Kwangtung more, perhaps, than in any other Trovince of China, and we can only hope that between them: General LUNG as Military Governor, and Mr. Lr FOX-SIN as Civil Administator will be able to repair the mischief which has been done by the recoat abortive.
