CHINESE REACTIONARIES

The news which we have received from North China during the past few days is, to say the least, of a most disturbing character. On Saturday we published a special telegram from our Shanghai correspondent stating that the German Minister at Peking had re ported to his Government that great unrest prevailed in Shantung Province. Then a Peking despatch was received by a northern contemporary which said that the Chinese servants of Europeans in Tientsin were quitting their employment at a moment's notice, on the plea that trouble was coming, Yesterday telegrams were received in Hong. kong describing what is termed an anti- dynastic movement, and that it is of no ordinary character, may be gathered from the fact that the Legation Guards 21 Peking are being strengthened and precautions taken

but perceptibly in the right dire the adoption of modern ideas, and the shout- ing and yelling of a few reactionaries- who should be classed as brigands and traitors to their country-should be re garded as the snarlings of an ill-tem pered cur. A from attitude at the out set will effectively check this movement, and the Chinese Imperial Goverment, aided by the enlightened scation of the population, should easily succeed in putting an end to the blustering leaders of the anti- reform movement. But there must be no hesitation or delay in the matter.
