s available for its guidance. Already the authorities have perceived that a railway is something more than the substitution of an irop for a mud road; the very small experiment they have made has brought into view a few of the side issues which are raised by the making and running of railways, and though what has been revealed is as nothing in comparison to what remains hidden, it is enough to impress the Government with the importance of their selec- tion of a Directorate of Railways, and the official or officials selected, with the gravity of the responsibility. Of course it may be said that, though Chinese statemen have no knowledge of their own in reward to rail- ways, the experience of the whole Western world is available for them, and the best foreign advice is at their service. But the importation of foreign ndvisers-even without the Corean ""is precisely the experiment the Chinese most dread; it is the visible rock to which they wish to give a wide berth,, even at the risk of shipwreck on the shoals which are unseen. And who does not sympathize with this feeling? Who will advise in the selection of an adviser? Imagine a wealthy but untaught man going into the world to choose his teachers; or a book worm suddenly become heir to a great Industry requiring the utmost practical skill and scientific knowledge to carry on, and one gets some idea of the position in which the Chinese find them selves vis-a-vis to these demands for modern improvements, And when to the suspicious nature of the Chinese you add the obtrusion of outside advice from every quarter, each candidate assuring the Chinese that he alone is their real friend, you get a combination whose product is, and can only he, confirmed revulsion from all foreign aid, whatsover. Such we take to be the true attitude of the Chinese Government at the present moment. That is not to say, however, that in some real or fancied emergency the Government may not fall into the arms of some philanthropic schemer-probably the least worthy of all the suitors for favours; such a contingency indeed is far from improbable. But, having regard to actualities, we must con- sider that the one thing which the Chinese Gov.

dwells among the stars. His neighbour, Hang. Ye, awoke upon his tea-chest to realise that Death was at his door. The summons came alike to Sing-Ling in his gin-case, and to the opulent Ki-Nan in his palace of frantic architec. ture and impossible design, and each of them remembered, possibly, as the sound of the rushing torrent reached his ears that a thousanki years ago another Hang-Ye, slumbering on a tea-chest of a pattern that never varied since the days of the Pharaohs, and another opulent Ki-Nan, lounging in a palace that was as frantic in its architecture as that of his successor had beard the same ominous warning, and in like manner, vanished for ever from the land of their fathers. It was a stupendous tragedy, and it furnished a brilliant subject for the port who sings in unmanageable gridiron characters in the Flowery Land, but the million or two of lives which very sacrificed in that awful visitation left no perceptible gap among the teeming millions of the Middle Kingdom. The waters subsided at last, and the cultivators who had escaped the general devastation ventured down again from their places of refuge to dig out their own farms and silently annex those of their drowned compatriots; the rice-plant and the ten- shrub started afresh; the Hoang-ho found itself a new bed; and except for a thick stratum of rich alluvial deposit, a threatened famine among the agriculturists whose farins-mostly cadged from the dead Sin Fats whose remains are still tossing restlessly in Gulf of Pe-che-le-have not had time to produce new crops, and who have been further ruined by the expense of buying new Josses to replace the ones which floated away in the general ruin, and a thick, muddy stream of Christian charity and maudlin exhorta- lion, the overflow of the Heang-ho is a matter of history.

evidence to show that the particular applicant in
question is not sufficiently apostolic for charitable recognition, and funds for enquiry purpose being plentiful, it naturally follows that only a saintly pauper here and there manages to present a sufficiently stainless record to satisfy the bowel- less committee of investigation. The indigent white citizen bring thus provided for, public charity is left free to expend itself in relieving the woes of the Asiatic pagan, and if in his case there is no elaborate machinery provided for sifting the morals of each insolvent Chinaman if the benevolent Christian population of Australia is invited to extend a helping hand alike to the unbanged murderer, the fan-tan sharp, the Mon golian sneak-thief, and the opium-fiend, withou! raising any question as to their fitness for such benevolence, It is only necessary to point out that missionary enterprise has always been built that
way.
The gruesome snufile of the British missionary system-now in process of transplantation to Australia, the lying and hypocrisy which attach to it at every step, the cold, callous brutality which forms its one unchanging feature, the ignorance and drivel on which the boss Pharisees of the propaganda have built what they blas- phemously term the greatest Christian movement of the age, are a living disgrace to the Anglo- Saxon race. Within the last three or four years hundreds of thousands of pounds have been spent in sending forth fat apostles through Western Asia with the result that a solitary Moslem has shaken off the fetiers of the faith which forbade him to touch intoxicating liquors, and has become a Christian and a sot, and thousands upon thou- sands more have been expended on missions to the Hebrew race, from which not one convert has resulted. And as a branch of the same movement money has been poured forth like water to buy food for starving findeos, and dis broken-down' Africans-and meanwhile the only mission that goes forth to Whitechapel consists of "Jack the Ripper," the policeman and the coroner, the only gospel that is carried to Ireland is borne by the police baton and the soldier's bayonet, a British garrison in Egypt is exacting taxes by means of native agents armed with the raw-bide whip from a nation which is as hungry and as bitterly oppressed as all the aggregated

stage of proceedings, is to place any foreigner or any group of foreigners in a position of authority and power in connection with the con- struction of railways. And as they cherish the design of making their railways out of indigenous material, so they will seek also for their directing power in the ranks of their own officials. The one iden may prove as unrealisable as the other, and yet both arem to occupy a necessary place in the unfolding panorama of railway progress, and both ideas may have to be worked out, whether to success ne failure, in order to provide
a basis for further advance.
In the search for an individual qualified to act as Imperial Commissioner, Minister, or Chief Director of Railways, it is natural that the atten- tion to the Government should be directed to an official who has already shown himself unap pilled by novel situations, to whose record we directed attention the week before last. Among native officials who have never travelled bevond the Ching coast. line there are probably few known to me wha nie better fiited than Chou Fu for the pass of Director of Railways. It is needles to recapitulate his special qualifica- tions, on which we expatiated at sufficient len,,th on the 18th May, Our remarks on that occasion had reference to an appointment of a very different kind, in which Chou Fu's political and diplomatic ability would have served him must appropriately The same order of talent is as much needed in the direction of railways in China, But it is by no means all that is required. Fractical knowledge is as great a desideratum, and of that also thou Fu may be allowed a full average share. Capacity for orgarsation is also required, and to that we are not aware that he has ever shown any special claim The construction of the Tongshan line has no danbt enabled Chou Fu, who was its chief promoter, to gain one experience; and his manzpément has also afforded the public some insight into his camcity. The result has been to what he shines incre as a promoter and generi diretor than asan organiser or super- visor of practical work. This is no more than was to be expected gi ore who had no means of knowing anything about the operations which he was cited on to undertake. Indeed, the little knowlegs which Chou Fu had gained of canal and water ways was rather a snare to him than other wire, since it gave him the notion that he was somewhat of anengineer. A trifle more experience would no doubt convince him that railway work differsessentially from digging ditches and throw ing upbankments, that the arrangements of skilled ulicers cannot be arbitrarily interfered with without danger, and that trained bands cannot be arbitrarily replaced by the first coalie that presents himself. The selection of men with exclusive regard to their capacity for their duties, and not with a view to provide a livell- hood for troublesome protégés, is an elementary lesson which Chinese officials are naturally slow to learn, but it is being gradually brought home. to them, nor can it be fairly laid to the charge of the individual that he has not completely mastered the lesson lo advance of all his compeeta.

Chinamen who have ever been washed out since the days when the Great Wall was first constructed, another Bruish army is turning Burmah into a desert, and still Britain leads the way in missionary enterprise, and acts as the pioneer of the Gospel in the dark places of the earth. There are more British subjects starving in the United Kingdom to-day than there are beside the Honngho; there are probably as many starving men and women in Australia in proportion to the population of the country as theic, are in the whole Chinese Jampire; but the miserable hypocrisy of the day merely bills them starve and trust in ravidace and apply to the Charity Organisation' Society, or else it hires wealthy persons to read the claborate sermons about the joys of poverty and the wickedness of having food and shelter, and reserves its practical Christianity for the opium-sugden leper--the hereditary enemy of our country and our race.
For of Christian charityas Christian charity is understood by the muddled churches who send tracts to the Frozen Zone, and forks and hope to the misshapen Fuegian in his land of fire, and boots and the Shorter. Catechism to the Digger Indian in his cave-there is unhappily no end. The British savage of Whitechapel maintains a miserable existence on garbage and to believe in the dectrine of Eternal Justice, of peace on earth and goodwill to men, as she tehearses daily the pitiable Song of the Shirt-the saddest story ever told in verse; the grinder of Sheffield makes some tas, per week ata murderous trade whose very breath is destruction, but these and all others of their kind may live and rail and die and go to destruction in their own way, so long as there remains one far-away Carib who has not heard the touching narrative of Balanm and his Ass, or one forgotten Fantee who is yet a stranger to the joyous story of how Goliath used to be eleven feet high in Gath. The toilers who die from hunger almost daily in London keep on dying while London sends its surplus wealth to rebuild the water-logged Joss-house of the strange idolator beside the Hoang-ho; the hunger-maddened women who throw themselves into the Thames, and have the misfortune to be fished out alive, are sternly admonished and duly sent to gaol by the same tender-hearted Chris- tians who are weeping tears of misery over the anguished Hong Lee, who hasn't any rice; and in general the men of faith go on according to the good old rule which bids them leave their own countrymen to perish at their doors while they pour forth the stream of their pious generosity upon the woes of the remotest heathen at the other end of this badly-tired planet. All sorts and conditions of greedy and corpulent saints take a band in the good work. The sweater who grinds out human lives--the lives of helpless, wenry, joyless girls and stante boys, and worn out prematurely-aged women-in his suffocating workrooms at a remuneration of four or five shillings per week, contributes his mite to the washed-out Chow; the plous warehouseman, who discharges the miserable shirt-maker at elevenpence a day because he has found another victim who will accept tenpence, sends his prayers and his cheque to aid the opium-soaked contortionist of Eastern Asia; the Anglican parson, whose wretched curate enjoys a lavish stipend of 10s, per week, lends his aid to the cause of charity, and the rack-When want and in-sery have been extinguished renting landlord and a hundred other cormuonants bring up the rear of the great procession. For the glory of Christian England shines fork in her missionary enterprise, and her hand is for ever open to aid the distressed heathen and tá dispel the moral darkness of the neglected, can- nibal, and half the, uncivilised eaith is holy ground because there the martyrs of Britain's churches have shed their blood for the propaga tion of the faith, and meanwhile concerning three millions of starving Britons at home no pro minent philanthropist cares a solitary curae, and no church has time to worry worth a cent.

Bet Australian Christianity rises, superior to any considerations of brotherly humanity or common sense. The blind cripples who haunt the streets of Sydney and Melbourne imploring alms are moved on by the police; the old broken- down pioneers who bave given up the battle of life in despair are kicked and cuffed and starved in our so-called benevolent asylums; the outcasts who camp in the public parks are either left there or are clubbed by the police and run in and sentenced to hard labour and short rations for the crime of being poor and haineless; and the unattended in a hovel or a police-cell because there is no room for them in the overcrowded hospitals of this Christian land; but still there is pity and sympathy for the drowned-out Chow, and he who giveth to the Chinaman lendeth to the Lord-Sydney Bulletin.
