Chinese DOMESTIC SHRVANTS.

THEIR DETERIORATION.

Turning to matters of interest bearer home than the outlook in Hongkong, we should invite the attention of our renders for a moment to the

following shrewd observation by Colonel Bruce, the respected Captais Superintendent of Police, In his report to the Council on the Police De partment, as published in the Municipal Minutes yesterday, writer the Shanghai Time editorially on 15th inst.Et is necessary to point out that there is now in Shanghai a class of servant who has not the good will of his employers at heart as was, and in many cases still is, the case with the older class of servants ; nor has be tha sterling honesty of the old servant cless."

The deterioration of the Chinese domestic servant in Shanghai is a recent phenomenon which every foreign bousebolder in the Settle- meni will probably confirm, It can be ascrib-

·ed to several causes, chief among which, we would suggest, is the fact that foreigners in Shanghai are not by any means as well off in this present year of grace as they were in those halcyon days to which Colonel Brace so regretfully refers. They are not able to pay the high wages now demanded by really good-class Chinase domestics, whose own ex-

penses, it is to be remembered, are now near ly double or trable what they were about, say, five-and-twenty years ago. Rice to-day ranges somewhers about 58 per picul, compared with the $3 or $4 of the 'eighties and early nineties; and prices of all other forms of food, clothing, bouse-rent, and so on, have increased in about the same proportion during the period in question, The Chinese consequeally ara

obliged to demand bigher wages from their foreign employers, which the latter, also ex- periencing increased cost of living and owing to augmented competition, are unable to pay. They are thus compelled to accept such ser- vice as they can obtain and look for it among classes of the Chinese community a good deal lower in the social scale than those from which the, Settlement's domestics were formerly pro curable. Then avain, the humbler orders of Chinese bave ceased pretty generally to regard the foreigners at the ports with the same degree of respect that they formerly entertained for them. Foreign methods and conditidos have lost their Dovely, have ceased to impress the Chinese mind with their superiority: The Chinese have discovered that the standards of scientific attainment, for instance, are within their own ranch if they care to strive for them; and in fact there are many other causes to account for the regrettable change to which Colonel Bruce bas directed public alten. tion which perhaps it may be instructive and advantageous to investigato in greater detail one of these days. For the present, however, „it_must_syffice Infecommend our-follow-re- sidents to act upon the Colonel's timely biat with regard to precautions against predatory domestics, and there we shall leave the subject.
