NOTES AND COMMENTS,
Prinde Tuan & Co.. The North China Daily News publishes a short account of the activity now being shown by those arch enemies of the foreigner Fringe TUAN and TUNG-FU-HSIAN, which we reproduce elsewhere. Our contemporary is unusually well informed on Chinese affairs and it will, we think, be well for the Powers to keep a sharp eye upon the trend of events in the North for some time to come. Although TUAN TUNG FU

receive short shrift at their hands. Then too, it must be remembered that this' anti-foreign party would be operating the whole time in a friendly country and would be secretly, if hot openly, supported by the Empress Dowager and her reactionary Bycophants. These people see only too well There are several contradictory reports about cords connected with the International Exhibi- that if the foreigner remains in China his the date of operation of the new Chinese tariftion at Glasgow were beaten when the at- methods must eventually prevail, and theyThe Japanese authorities-state that it will be tendance reached-171,960.

Can it be wondered at then that the reactionary Court party views with alarm any apparent leaning towards Western ideas and eagerly grasps at any straw, however frail, which they are sold ), and they in their crass ignorance believe to be a mighty lever whereby the power of the hated and. despised outer barbaian may be overthrown? To us it seems that so long as the Empress Dowager and her parasites remain in power there can be no hope for the peaceable regeneration of China: So long as they hold sway will men like TUAN and TUNG, be secretly enouraged to plot for the un- doing of the foreigner, and so long
as
this is permitted there cannot be that sense of security so essential to. the successful development of commercial enterprises. The government of China is, as we have so often pointed out, rotten to the core, and until the whole of the bad portion is cut out and discarded there can 10040 be little hope of the sound portion growing What a thousand pitics we ever interfered in the Taiping rebellion! Matters could not have been worse under any other rule than that now holding away.

Prince Ching states that the report that Viceroys Liu Kung-yi and Chang Chih-tung have addressed a Memorial to the Throne agkfast the new Russo-Chinese Treaty now under negotiation is without foundation.

A SCULPTOR'S BON MỘT —A well-known sculptor, hearing that Mr. A.

A LAND OF CHURCHES:-One of the features that attract most attention in 'travelling through the Australian, colonies is the number of churches which are everywhere to be found. ̧ Every little township or village has three or fou edifices devoted to worship; in fact, one Victorian bamlet achieved notoriety by being the possessor of five churches and no public- house.
