CANTON NOTES,

CANTON, January 18th.

woefully indequate to satisfy the present needs. So some defects have no doubt been found in the past in the working of the American system of government and it is no únül ely that other defects may be discoveril in the future. It is the part of wise statesmen to rectify them to suit the circumstances and requirements of the times. I am sure you would show more re- spect to the man who as a sincere friend points out the faults he has found in you than to the man who glosses over your shortcomings and overloads you with fulsome flattery.

I have come to this university at the invita tion of the Students' Lecture Association and the Good Government Club, Asthese sucieties, if I am not mistaken, are founded chiedy for the discussion of questions affecting the welfare of this country, it may not be inappropriate for ne as an outsider to venture to lay before you the results of some of my observations..

The freedom of speech and of the press, I understand, is the cornerstone of American liberty.

The Constitution of the United States rightly forbids the Congress of the United States to abridge this valuable right. In this connection, I may mention na incident of Chinese history, in support of the freedom of speech. About eight centuries before the Christian era there ruled over China a king- whose oppressive measures stirred up a great deal of public discussion and adversé criticism among the people. One of his ministers, the Duke of Chic, informed the monarch of the dissatisfaction of the people. The king was angry and employed soothsayers,, who

of have the power supposed to reading minds (as

clever people profess to be able to do nowadays), to keep a sharp lookout for what was said against, binu Every offender reported to him once put to death. "The people were for a time awed into silence and could only com- municate their dissatisfaction by expressive looks in the streets. The king was quite pleased with his success in this regard and boasted to the Duke of Chao that he had put a stop to all criticism of his acts and measures. His minister at once replied: "This is gagging pure and simple. To stop up the mouth of the people is worse than stopping up the mouth of i stream. A stream when obstructed will break down all barriers, and spread devastation

maniier to the interest of those that the soldiers landing from the boats were making an attack upon a band of robbers. Severe fighting followed and fourteen of the robbers were killed. It is not improbable that the shots fired at the robbers struck the, Nanning. If this story isque, and I believe it is, then the Chinese soldiers and their officer have little blame attached to them.

ROBBERS.

The close of the Chinese year has the usual tale of robberies to tell Some reports make this the worst of years. But last year the same complaint was heard. The probability is that the robberies are about as numerous as usual, The increased facilities for hearing news, the greater number of steam launches, which bring news more quickly to Canton, will easily account for it e greater number of robberies reported during the last few years.

At Liu Po in the Tung Kun district, the robbers took matters into their own hands. The soldiers were living in a temple. At night the temple was surrounded by robbers and the doors-barred and guarded by one part of the band while the other part robbed upward of twenty shops in the market.

THE VICEROY.

No further news has been made public re- garding the retirement of the Viceroy. His Excellency's health is somewhat improved but any improvement can only be temporary..

have to do with the people to be tolerant and permit the utmost freedom of speech. The mouth speaks what the heart dictates. Why then, resort to gagging? This sensible advice and warning was not heeded by the prince and it is recorded that soon after he had to flee from his kingdom to save his life.

SLAP AT YELLOW JOURNALS.

It will be seen that the Chinese, as well na the people of this country, regard freedom of speech as a political possession of paramount importance. - Indeed, they do not hesitate to use all the resources of the Chinese language. in exposing rottenness and corruption in high quarters. Oftentimes even the Emperor does not entirely escape their fearless criticism. But, so far as my observations go, I believe that freedom of speech is carried to a much greater leigil in this country than in China. I have observed that fibelous attacks upon the reputation of private men have often been allowed to go unpunished. In these days of sensational journalism, no one is anfe from

He was accorded an enthusiastic reception and entirely captivated those present by his brilliant cloquence,

The opening portion of the address, which will be continued in these columns from day to day, was as follows:-

But there is a more serious consequence to which the abuse of this fundamental right leads. I have in mind the spreading of pernicious The creed doctrines through the country. which aims to destroy society and government should not be allowed in gain a' foothold any- where.
