"TRUTH" AND THE CHINESE POST OFFICE

As though the eccentricities of the mandarins of St. Martin's-le-Grand were not sufficient to occupy the attention of an English journal, I have been asked to ventilate a grievance against the Chinese Post Office, says Labouchere in a recent number of Truth. It relates to the ex- orbitant surcharge levied on letters posted from England to Shanghai with a penny stamp and then redirected to any of the outports. The ordinary prepaid postage from Shanghai to Chinkiang, for instance, is only one cents, while if a letter is sent from the formar place to the latter minus any stamp.whatever, two cent, are collected on its deliver, Bus if the addressee of a letter from this country, to Shanghai hap-

pens to be at Chinking, and it is re-directed to him there, the Chinese Post Office treats the fact that the envelore hears a penny English stamp (the correct postage to Shanghail as on excuse for levying a tax of 16 cents for its delivery. The practice is as absurd as it is unjust, and Sir Reben Hart could surely pro- cure its abolition.

An addition to the local press of Singapore GREAT may be expected in the not too distant future,

says the Straits Times, For many years it REDUCTIONS

has been the ambition of certain enlightened

and influential Chinese residents to possess a daily newspaper here-an gan, as it were.. through which to voice their own especia! interests as well as those of the general public, A number of these affluent gentlemen, among whom, we understand, are a well-known Mem- ber of the Legislative Council and a Municipal Councillor of some years' standing, are interest. ed in the scheme; and the venture would even now be under way, were it not that a very big towkay from the Native States did not see his

way to joining in the work of promoting the enterprise as was expected a short while ago.

Matters, however, are maturing, and it is even mooted that the European executive staff of the Straits Eche-the paper recently floated on Chinese capital and with influential Chinese backing at Penang-may assist in its creation and development. No title for the new publi cation has yet been decided upon, but that is a mere matter of detail. Yokobama with a population of less than 3,000 Europeans, and only about 2,000 Chinese, contrives to support five English dailies-including the Japan Times that is printed twenty miles away in Tokyo-not to mention a couple of English weeklies. Singapore with over 5.000 Euro- peans and a double of hundred thousand Chi- nese, ought certainly to be able to support one Anglo-Chinose daily at the very least.

YOU WILL NOT BE DECEIVED. That there are cheats and frauds in plenty everybody knows; but it is seldom or sever that any large business house is guilty of them, no matter what line of trade it follows. There can be no permanent success of any kind based on dishonesty or deception. There nover was, and never will be. The men who try that are simply fools and soon come to grief-as they deserve. Now many persons are, nevertheless, afraid to buy certain advertised articles lest they be humbugged and deluded; especially are they slow to place confidence in published statements of the merits of medicines.
