THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1901.

many here with the Court, and among whom there are several Princes, they spoke to the Empress.Dowager on the Heir-apparent's behalf. They told Her Majesty that the in evitable result of the Heir-upparent's degrada- tions would be the restoration, to power of the Emperor, and that, for Her Majesty's own sake, it seemed prudent that she should consider seriously over so important a matter as this before doing anything. This counsel has entirely shaken the Empress-Dowager's pro- posed scheme and pot Her Majesty in a serious quandary. So now it is still doubtful whether the degradation of the Heir-apparent will ever be carried into effect-Afercury.

A CHINESE EDITORIAL.

There are many people besides Dr. Parker who regard an editor's position as a "soft thing," and a certain number of the persons have minde their appearance in unaccustomed China, where they are expending much time and labour in the correction and godly admonl tion of the editor of a native paper, whose robust reform proclivities are offending against the immutable laws of his land. Driven at length to defend himself, the harassed journalist addressed to his critics a brief editorial, of which the following translation gives an idea of the Chinese conception of sarcasm, erroneously declared to be con-existent by many travellers. After a preliminary acknowledgment of fallibil- ity the article proceeds
