In all outlying districts the safest protection for foreigners is in the good feeling of the mandarins, and although outrages have been recorded in which these officers have failed in their duty and in carrying out the instructions of the Peking authorities, the number of such cases has not been great taking everything into account, and on the other hand there are innumerable instances in which the officials have at the risk of their lives manfully and loyally protected foreigners against the madness of mob hatred. Why then should a section of the foreign press continually fill its columns with wholesale abuse of the very class whose friendship and good opinion we are so desirous of obtaining Take as an example of this inane tolly the following extract from an editorial in a recent issue of the China Gazette -
