TRARS OF AN AMERICAN RAID
INTO CANADA.
By some of our Canadian contemporaries fear is entertained of a sort of Jameson raid by Americans Into the Klondike goldfields. The Saturday Night, Toronto, reviewing the com- ments of the American press, makes sure that Canada will have to fight for her existence be caure gold has been discovered in the far regions of the North. The paper says 2-**
"As Justification for the annexation of Hawal It has been set up that eltisens of the United States are dominant in the financial concerns of that country. & desire for territorial acquisition bares now in the blood of the republic. It has Hawaii in hand and Caba in-view.” “With fabulously rich gold-fields largely held in possession by citizens of the United States; with do formidable Canadian forces to resist or fastitutions is spport; with the seixare of Hawall to inspire them and the wild advice of the jingo press to guide them, what more likely than that Adventurers from the United States will under- take a sort of Jameson sald in the Klondike this fall or next spring 7"
The paper then quotes from a San Francisco Journal (Town Talk) na follows:---
"If the Canadians are to police the new min ing country they must do so by the 'good-will of the United Stater. No Canadian constabulary force could assert control over the new mining camps except by the permission and with the support of thle country. They could neither get Into the camp nor got out of them without an American passport,... It would seem that fi would be the part of common sense for the Far ilament at Claws to throw precedent to the winds and to pass as act granting to the United States police authority over the new CLMST.... Is not this a good time to resurrect the scheme of the partition of the Nath-west according to the line recommended by wise men in 1845.7 In that day, far-sighted statesmen thought that American territory, which was then known as the Territory of Oregon, should tend to the Rusalen frontler, and that Cana da's western boundary should be the limit of probable occupation say the 20th parallel to iin intersection with the Rocky Mountains, and thence along the crest of those monatalos to the 401k degree of the Intllade. Such a revision of our northern boundary would confxes to reason today, and would obviate the danger of a con- troversy in which grave dangers may lurk. If so command acquiescence of our northern neighbour, it wara necorsary for the United States no sesame payment of her national debi, princt pal and interest, the territory gained would be cheap at the prics,"

THE CRIMINAL CODE OF CHINA.
It has been well wald that the criminal code of a nation forms the true index of its civilization, and the Ta-Ting-Lou-Lee, or Chloase.Code, is a notable illustration of thli fact. Each one of its 2095 octavo pages bears impress of the peculiar character and genius of the people,
The Chinese always talk of their Code with pelde, but most of its provisions, when viewed barbarous in the exiteme. Torinte is freely from a Western standpoint, appear cruel and made use of to obtain evidence, and we look in vain for those excellent principles of Anglo- -Saxon Justice by which every man is presumed innocent anill he is proved guilty, and no man is required to incriminate himself,
The growth of a spirit of equality and freedow, upon which will true justice la bazed, is prevented by the division of the people fata privileged and coa-privileged classes, and the respect required to be shown towards Government officials and persons of TROK.
The first regular code of Chinese penal laws, dynasty of Tsin, which succeeded to the throne Lee-Tuss-Fa-King was put in force under the of China B. C. 249, and enlargements and alters
one took place under the several drasties of Han, Wee, Teln, Tse, Swen, Tang, Sung, Yuan, the Grat el the Tartar dynasty of Tsing, now and Ming, until, in 1647, Emperor Shun. Ches, reigning, conquered the Chinese Empire, and promulgated the code which is at present observed.
Esch Emperor, on his accession, issues a prelatory edict, stating the amendments to the code which will be acted upon during his reign; the custom hearing a striking similarity to that adopted by the Roman praetors with reference to the jus Honoratum.
|
Robbery and theft are severely dealt with. If the individas! plundered or stolen from is likewise wounded, the principal offender is beheaded, and If any organised band of robbers, in an attempt to secure booty, burn a bouse or violate & female, the criminals are bebsaded immediately after conviction, and their heads, as soon as strack off, are fixed on pikes and exhibited as a public spectacle.
It accessories to a rabbery or theft, when it is their first offence, sutrender themselves before information has been given to any magistrate, they are pardoned.
In passing sentence on persons gailty of theft the magistrate always takes füto consideration the rank of the person stolen from and the amount taken. In ordinary cases the guilty persons are branded in the lower part of the left arm with the words "Tala (zo, sigullying "(blet," as a warning to others and a reproach to themselves, in addition to receiving corporal punishment, and, in some cases, they are exiled perpetually.

Professor Vambéry recalls the already proved fact that the Ameer sold B0,000 rifles from bis own factory to the marnaders in the seth- west of India at thr's rupees e-piece, and, though ble excuse was that these used up weapone had been first offered to the English and been refused, it is nevertheless the irony of fate it that was English money with which the Ameer's rifle factory was started, that an English- man, Sir S. Pyae, was the manager of the factory, Just as he was failiater of the entire civilising morement in Afghanistan, which is, now used as a weapon against the Ameer's protector and benefactor. Professer Vambéry sino says that the Ameer effected reconciliation with, many of his enemies, and that he allowed a free return to severa! Afghan refugees-all this as a pro- paration for great things to come. He gave a friendly reception to Mohamed Hasseln Khan, who, with Ishak Kann, had fed ta Samarkana, and overhelmed him with presents. He received. the emigrant Sold Ahmed with open arms on his retorn from Peshawar ; and many other men could be mentioned with whom he made his prace, meanwhile abetting the intriguo against English rule.
