The thren aspects, of the question of aboli Ithiog`the queue, says the New York Boining Port," the historico-political, the a thotic, and the ecocomic," conticus to engross Chinese attention. Ia reference to the first, "berals the sharp cleavage of oplnica between Man- chu and Chinese," the adorament being point- ed to in circles represanting "the ever-lucrea ing astagonism against the Manchu dynasty" as a semlader of the cruelty and humiliation to which our ancestors were compalled to sub- mit mara than two hundred years ago." But it is the esthetic aspect of the matter, accid- fog to the North China Herald,” that is novel. It is now taken for granted that, I by a lide of reasoning that does not appear to have been challenged anywhere," the abolition of the queue will mark also the disappearance of the `prosent national costums. The economic sido of this prospect is evident, and it is only natural that the cost of new clothes for thres or four million people is regarded with the, dongen; concern.
