THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1889.
two thousand years in waiting for a heg int place of a citizen is a problem which defies solution, but if the world has another two thousand years to spare, the experiment might be worth trying. The modern male human being the hot-house plant of an effetecivilisation has distinguished himself chiefly as an arrogant and intoxicated smudge on the Surface of the earth, and with the exception of one solitary Nebuchadnezzar who went out to grass, it is difficult to find, in all the pages of history, the record of a single individual who realised the failure of his species and the greatness, of man's collapse as the rang duence of a misused earth;
admirable and very preposterous, Sarcism is a weapon which in the hands of a foreigner is not at all to the taste of the Chinese A foreigner whose knowledge of Chinese was by no means equal to the demands which he wished to make upon it, in a fit of sheep disgust at some sin of omission or commission on the part of one of his servants, called him in English, n humbug Deep ranked in his side the fatal dast,' and at the earliest opportunity the servant begged of a lady, whose Chinese was fully equal to the tax upon it; to hold what the dreadful word meant which had been thus applied to him.bject The mandarins who seized upon the blocks af Mr. Thon's translation of E op's Fables, were in the same frame of mind as this Peking servant. These official; c uld not help perceiving is the talking geese, tige:s, faxes, and lions, some recondite meaning, which could be best nipped in the bud by suppressing, the entire edition-
Some of the most persistent instances, of Chinese su picion toward freigners are mani. fested in connection with the many hospitals and dispensaries now scatter d ́over, so large a part of China. And the vast number of patients there are many who exhibit an implicit fith and a touching confidence in the good-will and the skill of the foreign physician. But there are many others, of whose feelings we know much leas, except as the result of careful enquiry, who continue to believe the most irrational rumour in regard to the extraction of eyes and hearts for medie ne, the irresistible propensity of the and the fearful disposition said to be made of Chinese children in the depths of foreign cellars. A year or two of exp rierce of the wide sprend benefits of such an, institution might be expected to dissipate such idle rumours, as the wind disperses a mist; but they continue to flourish side by side with tens of thousands of successful treatments, as mould thrives in warm damp spots during the month of August. The whole history of foreign intercourse with China is a history of suspicion and prevarication on the part of the Chinese, while it doubtless hasnot been free from grave faults on the side of foreigners. It is a weary history retrace, and its lessons may be relegated to those who are charged with the often thankless task of conducting such negotiations. But as often. happens that private persons are obliged to be their own diplomats in China, it is well to know how it should be done As an illustration we will give a sample case, of which we happen to have heard, and which is an excellent illustration. The
ques tion was about the renting of some premises in an interior city, to which a local official on various grounds took exception. The foreigner presented himself at the interview which had been arranged, clad in the Chinese dress, and armed with the necessary materials for, wiling. After the pre- liminary conversation, the foreigner slowly opened his writing nadials, adjusted his paper, shak out his pen, examined his ink, with an alr of intense pre-occupation. The Chinese official was watching this performance with the k anest interest and the liveliest curiosity. "What are you doing?" he enquired. The foreigner explained that he was simply getting his writing materials in order-only that and nothing more. "Writing materials what for? To take down your answers," was the reply. The official hastened to assure his foreign guest that this extremity would by no means he called for, as the premises could be secured! How could this magistrate be sure where he should next hear of this mysterious document, the contents of which he could not possibly know?

The concession of fem ile suffrage will leave woman to work out her own destiny. Having been carefully taught in the schools to pound the piano and possibly to combat with the tarp, to struggle with the mysteries of fancy ne Me work, to patier fragments of useless Lvis and unintelligible French, to make sodden pastry, and possibly if she has penetrated the mysteries of Higher Education to contemplate without actual terror the unfathomable pathooks of the ancient Greck form of speech, she will sud. leady be called upon to consider the murky probleme of political economy and decide
them as her mental darkness guides her. If
she decides wrongly, and the inter, sts of man- kind suffer in consequence, mankind must take its chance. The course of female education has hen deci led chiefly by the prejudice of the male failure who has acted so long as her master, and if the restrictions which he has placed upon the feminine intellect have made woman conservative in her views, an ardent admirer of the glitter of courts and monarchies, a wor shipper of religious forms in which banners and. ircense and music serve to disguise the debating superstition underneath, he must leave her
to unlearn the lessons of the past at her leisure, The accession of woman to political power promises to hamper the cause of Democracy for generations to come, but if the great experiment is postponed for a century there is no reason to believe that the world would then be in any better condition to endure the trial. At alt appràaching very near, and it is mere cowardice events, the time for the experiment is evidently to endeavour to postpone the inevitable. After the new system has passed through its preliminary stages the change will probably prove to be for the better--it cannot well be for the worse. Man, so far, has been a conspicuous failure in almost every capacity, and the doctrine of buman equality demands that woman should be allowed chance to fail along with him and in an equal
The fast-spreading vet of woman is one anong many evidences of tie fiol owness of the able-bodied male white citizen of the present age. After many thousand years, of patient subjection, that hitherto submissive branch of the human race has risen to declare that man is a ruin and that his undiv ded supremacy has had its day. All through the long dirk ages the path of man has been lined with public houses and paved with skittles and cigars, and under the influence of these misused blessings he has grown weak and luxurious and effeminate. and bas gradually declined from his tank as the unquestioned boss of creation. The legendary hero of old mythology has given place to a soldier who fights by machinery and whose valour is dependent mostly on complicated arrangements of cranks and cog-wheels. The Sun God of the Norse fables has been succeeded whose hair has been worn away through the frirtion of ledgers ard invoices, and scorched off his shiny cranium by the glare of gas-Jets shining in a stuffy office; and the descendants ofthe mail clad barons of the past-the few of them who remain are distinguished from other men chiefly by the fact that their pants bag more dreadfully at the knees, and their hair is more uncertain, and their coats are more busty, and their comilegree.. The government of the world has been a long succession of blunders ever since the day larger and more sensitive than those of other men, and because they are in general shorter when primeval toan shed the last semblance of and stumpier and plainer, and more inclined to his tail and took his place at the bead of creation, make gobbling sounds when they eat than the and the old traditions have done so title for balance of mankind. The glamour of heroism human happiness that they are not worth and romance-always a bogus atiment at the regretting-Sydney Dalletin best has departed from the male of the human species, and it was this alone which made woman his willing slave for so my generations. The intensely practical tendencies of the present age have burst up the regime of feminine subjection for ever.
Judging from presedictions the women of Australia will shortly have an equal voice in the government of the country and when that point is gained the rest depends upon them selves. Hither o the Bulleting has opposed the movement in favour of female suffrage: now withdraws its opposition on the ground that the evil is evidently becoming unavoidable and must be endured the best way possibic. Female suffrage, it still maintains, is a present danger to the cause of Democracy. The tendency of the feminine mind is almost invariably towards Conservatisna, and the glitter of aristo cratic institutions exercises an influence upon her soul which a century of Democratic training will badly suffice to eradicate. The women of Australia are the best and surest props of the cause of monarchy in these lands, and to them the divinity which used to hedge in a king, in the days when a king was the bend assassin and chief murderer of the nation, is still a living thing. The wall of bogus anguish which goes up from the Australian nation in the day of royal bereave ment is mostly the wall of "loyal" womanhood, and when some illiterate, penniless, and illegitimate German prince--the offspring of a vulgar intrigue between a one-horse German potentate and a shady music-hall dancer-marries into the royal family of Britain and is afterwards afflicted by the loss of his mother's aunt, it is the female sout which clothes itself in sack- cloth and ashes over the sad event, and refuses to be comforted. The funeral court of England, with its bangings of crape and its aspect of un- utterable woe, like the shadow of a crippled hearse in the last hours of its decay is still the shrine at which the women of England love best to worship; and the surging mulitudes of half naked daines who expose themselves to the cold blasts of an English winter in the frantic effort to rush the royal palace and bow down before the gorgon-like figure of impassive majesty are a concrete evidence that woman is the prop which shores up the dying institutions of which the world is growing tired. The threadbare superstitions of the Church, too, find their chief support in feminine devotees. It is the Jewess,
China is a country which abounds in wild rumours, often of a character to fill the heart with dread. Within the past few months such a state of things has been reported among the Chinese in Singapore, that floricksha coolies positively refused to travel a certain street after dark. on account of the imminent danger of having their heads suddenly and mysteriously -cut off. The empire is probably never free from such epochs of horror; to those concerned the terrors are a real as those of the French Revolution to the Parisians of 1789 Infinite credulity and mutual suspicion are the elements. of the soil in which these fearful rumours thrive, and on which they fallen. When they have to do with foreigners, long and painful experience has shown that they must not be despised, but must be taken in the early stages of their development. None of them could do serious harm if the local officials were only sincerely interested to stamp them out. In their uhimate outcome, when they have been suffered to grow unchecked, these rumours result in such atrocities as the Tientsin massacre. All parts not the Jew, who clings most tenaciously to the ment, and there is scarcely a province where the back room behind the family pawnshop, or they have not in some form occurred. For the complete removal of these outbreaks the time element is as necessary as for the reiults of geologic epochs. The best way to prevent their accurrence is to convince the Chinese by irrefrag able object lessons, that foreigners are the sincere well-wishers of the Chinese. This simple proposition. once firmly established, then for the first time will it be true that within the four seas, all are biethen.—N. C. Daily News.
