Now, however, they are asked to contribute to the indeninity demanded by the lowers for the outrages in the north and, as the northern provinces did not come for ward and help the Two Kwangs to make up the indemnity which they had to pay, it is hardly to be wondered at that they feel rather sore upon the subject."
We are glad to see, from our London letter, that the Globe has pointed out this state of affairs. It is just such points as this which require to be shown to the Home folk to let them see that dealing with China is not, as our American cousins would say, "all beer and skittles."

A RELIC of old indecency in the shape of a building is being shiored up in Duddell Street with all haste, and it looks as if it wanted it.

WE are sadly afraid that the hopeful views of our Canton Correspondent with regard to the signs of reform shown by the Canton Examina ions mean little or nothing. It must not be forgotten that since the coup dels the examinations have been upset everywhere, and even two or three questions which point to reforms cannot be taken as conclusive evidence of a change in the aspect of the Chinese as regards, Western innovations. We wish that we could really think that such a drastic
change was contemplated.
