Each province and twenty of the largest towns will each elect an ulec toral college, which will elect deputies; the ballot will be secret throughout, and the peasants will have no individual votes; their collegiate representatives will be elected by Cantonal Assemblies which will be elected by Communal Councils.

ANTI-KAILWAY CONCESSION
MOVEMENTS.
There are anti;foreign symptoms amongst the Chinese Commencing with the Haokpw-Can- ton Railway the Chinese are now openly trying to inaugurate a movement to cancel all railway concessions now in the hands of foreign con. cessionaires. The instances are already visible in the movement against the proposed con- cession of Hangchow Kiangri Railway and the railway to Hangchow and Ningpo. Another is a movement to cancel the concession of | Peking Hankow Railway. These are more important symptoms than the boycotting of
American goods. There is no distinction
between the nationalities holding these con cessions whether they be Amerian, British, Belgian, Japanese or German.—Translation.

"DIVORCE,
- SOME NEW THOUGHTS FOR CONSIDER-
ATION ON A VEXED BUBJECT.
The present-widespread discussion of the divorce crit is following the old fines of thought, which regard the dissolution of the marriage tie and the consequent disintegration of the family as something akin to free love, a defiance of the fundamental laws of morality, a rash or criminal act which must be averted as far as possible, for the well-being of society In other words, if men and women who have found the marriage band intolerable can only be compelled to dwell together at all costs a higher stage of morality will have been reacted, the family will be preserved in its integrity and the best interests of the Nation conserved, The complimentary allusions made by China | If this were only so, there could be little henta newspapes to the work being done by Mrtion on the part of all good people in bolding Frederic Jones in that country are encourag up the hands of clergy and legislators who are ing.

THE BOARD OF COMMERCE AND THE FURCHASE OF LAND
BY FOREIGNÁRS,
A rather important memorial was recently submitted by the Board of Commerce to the
Throne which is worthy of notice being as it is
strictly in line with public thought of the day. The Board takes as its theme the private sale of mineral and other lands to foreigners by Chinese merchants and the people generally.
