Japan has grasped this fact, with the result that she has grown to be one of the Great Powers of the world and can take her own part. China, on the other hand, has chosen to go upon her sleepy way alone, she has neglected all opportunity of ad vancement, has failed to arm herself or provide adequate defences, and the result is that she lies at the mercy of the weakest of the Powers, her one safety lying in the fact that they fail to aggree amongst them selves and are prevented by jealousy from dividing the spoil.
We do not for a moment suppose that the Empress Dowager will ever consent to the proposals to which she now gives a refusal, for it would simply mean the relinquishment of every particle of power for both her and her party. Her idea seems to be to keep the unfortunate Emperor well under her thumb and so contrive matters as to play into the hands of her conservative following the whole time. It is hardly likely that she will return to Peking so long as she sees that any of the Towers are at all anxious to see the Emperor once more in power, for she must be well aware that were he given a free hand his Government Auctioneers. The Simplest Quality to that of the leanings towards reform would quickly bring about the deathblow of her party, as was so nearly the case just prior to the coup d'etat. Had the Powers, or any one Power, but had the foresight to have supported the Emperor in that time of trouble, in all probability the dark pages of China's history which cover the last two years, would never have been written and the country would have moved a considerable distance along the road of progress.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Court.
Under the heading of "News From Peking" the North China Daily News publishes a telegram from its Peking Correspondent which certainly, goes to show that matters are not running as smoothly between the Foreign Ministers and the Court as might be wished. The telegram, which is dated 6th December,
says
Prince Ching tinder advice of the British and U. 8. Representatives proposed the following four suggestions to the Throne
(1) Disinherit the Heir-Apparent Pa Chin; (2) Keep the Grand Secretary Yung Lu away from Court;
(3) The decapitation of Tung Fubsiang, and (4) The abolition of the Empress Dowager's so-called Regency.
The Empress Dowager reluctantly consented to the 1st and 3rd suggestions, but absolutely rejected the 2nd and 4th. Viceroy Yuan Shib k'ai has been instructed to learn the opinions of the Foreign Ministers on the above and report to the Throne.
