THE PROPOSED STRANGLING. OF CHINESE OPINION.
REGULATION OF THE NATIVE PRESS.
WANITA
Amongst the ferty articles submitted to the Chloère authorities in the capital for the regula tion of the Chidase press there is one which should have the immediate attention not only of every Chinese patzlot, "bat of every man who bas a valce to raira os behalf of the true pro grass which we hope for and are looking for says the Shanghai Mercury. We refer to the proposed Article XI which rans thus: "No language derogatory to the reputation of way person shall be prióted lu any paper, ragardless of whether the statement be true or not," We bars borrowed the translation from our junior morning contemporary, which does not fall to sou in this wording a wrongful protection of the official rather than an official protection of the right. We go fartber, mach farther. We declare cur firm conviction if this article be comes law and is obayed, that we may once and for ever abandon all hops of the regenera tion of Chies, all the aspirations of the best of bir nous, all their efforts at reform and every reliance, every apthasisem, and ex- pectation of the groat and glorious future which otherwits their many qualities of heart and mind would ansare them. Al these are to be strangled before they have come to birth. We have never before a;en so amas. fog a propostiion: never in the whole course of our reading or exparience have we met with so damping a suggestion. For what does it mean? It mains the perpetuation of every thing in China that is corrupt, everything which has brought the country down to the dum; and dragged ber, in the mire, everything that is false, mean, sordid, and disreputable.
FETTERING. THE PRESS.
Surely ignorance alone can have acqulerced In this amuring proposal just as corruption alone could have suggested it. Regarding the latter we need not speak. Chinese bistory and Chloess proverbs am too fall of reference to it to need farther emphasis. Bot the ignorance is a revelation. We had given the native zo. formare credit for a wider knowledge. We had supposed that they most ba aware, of the stimulating effect of unfuttered opinion su ex- biblied in England and America, for example. Where would Kogland have been if her sons: bad bene compelled to hold their tougṇas respecting the corruption of the Roman Church, of the despotism of the Stuarts, of the tyraphy of many of their lawa," of the arrogante of feudalism and the read for popel r rights?, Bho might easily have been a second Portugal. She could Bardly bava boon otherwits. Now she is what she is because bar people have been legally entitled to call a spade a spade, and to denouncé fraud and wrong-doing wherever they have seen it. Which will Chi e choose? Will the take in- spite care to secure the continuance of a deadly poison in beź system, or will she once for all determine that all p leon shall be cleared out? She is at the parling of the ways. Two roads

Only Two football matchas in the fint divi.. son of the League Competition wore played on Saturday afternoon. One of the games was fast and exciting but the other was practically a one-sided affair. The Navales played with a weak combination against the Baffs and Bird suffered a bad defeat. The match between Ling the Anllcrymea and Engineers was well con tented and resulted in a draw. The Olvillans' fixture was cancelled owing to the majority of their men being in camp. ⠀
ing and invarai good scores were registered, The Oicket matches were extremely interest The 0.0.0..ware responsible for 180 runs, of which 61 was by E. L. Braga and 58 by R. & Carvalho.
