THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1889.
all this region, and so far as we know the government does not interrupt the process of leaching, or if it does, the interruptions are fitful and irregular. What it does, or rather what it tries to do, is to arrest those who offer this
government. As the production is very large, it is often sufficient for the wants of the whole neigh- bourhood, and to te extent to which it is disposed of it destroys the trade of the regular salt mer- chants. The latter ste niways endeavouring to get the local officials to interfere in the matter. and the latter are glad ugn w temporise, well knowing that whether the stone hits the pitcher, or the pitcher hits the stone. it goes ili with the pitcher. By this we mean that whether the salt merchants are victorious ar the people, if there is serious trouble and great fights take place.in which there is loss of life, it will result in the disgrace of the magistrate. Such fights are liable to ta e place at any time, and any one who lives in the neighbourhood of the districts in which small salt 15 produced can give stirring kccounts of pitched battles which have been fought between the government troops and the farmers who sell the salt, and in these combats here is often a loss of many tens of lives! Each district is organisest, and those who produce the saft, take it about the country to the fairs, on wheel-barrows, the barrows travelling in large companies for mutual protection. The men are armed with guns and sometimes with pistols, all of foreign make, and are prepared to fight to the last. A band of seventy or eighty wheel-barrowmen of this for makes a formidable body for a handful of ragged militia to attack, and the trade is often inked at. But this cannot always last, and when the time comes for the inevitable reprisals there is a dramatic season. Such a one, according to several informants, has just taken place in the part of Chihli to which we have referred. The accounts of the details are confused and doubt. less inaccurate is some, particulars, but pro. bably true in the main The district involved is the ancient one of the Chi Chou, a sub. prefecture which has within us limits a gical amount of land which yields anthing but enit. The magistrate was neved by the salt-merchant to make a deadly raid on the illicit sellers of 'small sak, and having refusel or neglebied to do so, the latter are said to have imported a band of smugglers from another region, why for good. pay undertook to put down the local smugglers. A battle ensued with heavy losses, an adjustment, and further outbreaks, the rationale of which is at very clear. But the district magistrate applied to the provincial authorities for help to put down a trouble which was too much for him.. and an officer was sent to investigate. By the time thus official arrived, the toters, who had been besieging the city, the gates of which had not been opened for some time. had all dispersed. This was the disappear- ance of a nest of rats before a deputy cat, sent to inspect. The result would be that the magis
CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
THE "AUTUMN MA' ŒŒUVRES" AND OTHER DISTURBANCES IN NORTH-CHINA. To the casual observer, the general condition of the Chinese people, appears to be one of peaceficit sait f ́r sale at lêss than half the price of and tranquillity. It is true that there is generally a small rebellion going on a mewhere within the vast boundaries of the empire, but these out.. breaks are mostly local and exceptional. There are, however, certain periodical disturbances which take place at intervals, even in the districts which seem to be most quict. The season for one variety of this exception to the general order has come, and is now nearly over. It may be denominated in general terms the harvest season robbery. The excessive poverty of the mass of the people and the density of the population make the presence of a large number of bad characters in any particular place a matter of certainty There is always abundant material out of which a latent uprising can be fanned into a flame. The restraints of the local government are not sufficiently rigornus, in most regions, to keep these bad characters in anything more than a general state of subordination. If any event happens which makes it peculiarly sale for them to plunder with more than usual impunity. they are sure to take advantage of this fact The autumn harvest is such an event. The whale surface of northern China is dotted here and there with denas growths of sorghum (ne fing), a plant which kindly nature has apparently devised for the express purpose of meeting the wants of that region, just as the palm and the bamboo are adapted to the tropics. If it were not for the Angliang, it is difficult to see with what the peasants would keep themselves warm, and what they could use to supply its place for a thatch or for hedges. Je districts where the stalks of wheat are used for roofing, the liability to destructive fires is greatly increased. The sorghum (7) plant grows to a great height, often eight or ten feet. By the middle of July it has attained such a growth that it is hard to see over it, and from that, time until the harvest is gathered it is a constant occurrence for the hatiyes of the villages to become confused even in going short distances, froth one fair town to another. If by any accident a wrong turning is taken, the traveller is as much lost as if in a tropical forest, with the dis advantage that he cannot climb a tree to see his way out. Of this state of things the bad cha- racters are not slow to take advantage. Travelling 'across country' becomes at such times difficult and dangerous, not so much because it is hard to find the way as because there is great liability to be robbed, and a greater probability that if one is so attacked, he will not be able to see any one whom he can call to his assistance. Even if he did call assistance at ordinary times, there is no certainly that any one would come, but at this season there is an almost complete certainty that no-one could be made to hear. The small bands of unkempt soldiers which are the only provision for keeping order in any particular region have some resemblance to electricity; not, let us hasten to remark, in the rapidity or decision of their move- ments, but in the circumstance that they are an altogether invisible force. They are never on hand when wanted, and are often non-existent. But when the kaoliang crop comes up to its full height, then is the time when these wretched troops are at the maximum of their uselessness. 'They cannot see n' ahead of them, on account of the dense forests of kaoliang, and if they came upon a large band of thieves in full course of gathering their plunder, and if they decided to attempt to stop the proceedings of the thieves-in wild and improbable suppost- tian-it would be wholly out of the question to do so, as the thieves could retreat into these Anoliang Jungles, where no mounted soldier could follow for ten rods. The result of this state of things is that in some districts, (though
trate would be, reported to have falsified the condition of his district, and would be ruined. So, as we hear, the magistrate, his wife, and one of the inferior subordinates (sru ya) took poison in the shape of opium, and retired from a state of existence where their environment was too much for thein. Precisely how much is distorted in these details we are not able to say, though where there is so much smoke there is sure lo be some fire; but the general circumstances are true to life, and could be matched by many other similar cases constantly occurring in the Celestial Empire.--N, C.

the last time and are not yet ripe. There are certain prefectures (as for example Ta'ao Chou Fu in southwestern Shantung, which is often noticed as lawless in the Peking Gazette and in native papers), where the population seems to take kindly to this occupation at almost any season of the year. In these cheerful regions, we have been assured, the farmer in the field who sees a stranger coming along the road will sally forth to rob him armed only, with a hoe, and when he has plundered his victim go quietly back to his work as if nothing bad happened. Another occasion which calle forth the lawless elements of which Chinese society is so full, is the winter, especially if it be a time of special destitution. In such times the main highways are lined with small huts at intervals of two li, three if, or five, which are theoretically occupied by detail of local guardsmen who escort -travellers on their way, and who 'severely seize1 all miscreants. It is generally unsafe to travel at night or in the early morning on these router, and the magistrates frequently forbid the innkeeper to allow travellers to leave the inns before day. light. This paternal caution le due, however, not at all to, any official interest in the travellers, but to the magistrate's reluctance to get into trouble which is so easily preventible. Casts have repeatedly occurred in which foreign travellers have been attacked, under these conditions, and in some instances robbed of all which they had, A third variety of disturbance in China jí very widely distributed and is of great importance, Every one knows that in China salt is a govern: ment monopoly, and that the sale of smuggled salt is severely punished. But it also well known that there is so much peculation in connee. tion with the manufacture of government salt, that a constant stream of it finds its way will take place later on at the Undersigned Sale irregularly into the market, and is sold at a price about half that of the same article sold by the
