A Preposterous Suggestion."" The arrest of a dozen noted rebels in Tientsin, most of them from South China, is another proof that the present Govern ment of China is wido awake and is in touch with all that is going on within the Republic. Itisssid that these men were engaged in inciting soldiers to raise anti- Government disturb.nces in Nerth Ohins on the pretext that President Yuan is about to make himself Emperor of China. A pretext on dimay might have served come purpose in China a decade or more ago, but it is worthless to-day. Thinking Chinese the Chinese, that is to

plan and promote a rising are too alert to be caught by it now. a-days. They are for seeing enough to appreciate that, up till now. President Yuan has not soted like a man who aims at founding a dynasty; quite on the contrary, indeed, he appears to have accepted and held the Presidency because, being a man of wisdom and strength, he recognised that there was no one bat himself to fill the post t present. The really strong man is able to judge himself quite impartially.

Daily Press.

Portuguese in the Far East. Open a library with English and Portuguese books and the latter will be left by, at least, the younger generation, to be digest- ed by the cockroaches, The rem- edy, if remedy there be, lies furth- er back than any of these sugges tions. If the tree does not bear frait it is of little as spraying the leaves or putting a fence round the stem. The roots must be attended to. The remedy for loss of nationality among the For- taguese lies not in tchools or li braries, valuable though these may be. It lies in Portugal itself. Let Portugal set its house in ér- der. Let it cease squabbling wheth- Errepublican or monarchical ideas are!

to prevail. Let the govern ment refrain from interference in religions mattera, and give the same treatment to all creeda. Let it assist the people to develop the resources of the country. Let it pay attention to education and try to reduce the astonishing per- centage of illiterater. Let it by BO doing help to make its books and papers batter printed and more interesting. In abort, let Portugal crate from standing still and begin to make progress; let. it recall its former proud position and strive hard to attain it again, and the result will follow that there will be no necessity to cry out against denationslisation.

The Harbour.

▲ more serious question is that of the depth of the harbour. few years ago it was thought to | be wilting up bút, on eramination, this was found not to be the câne, but the draft of sisamships is Това continually increasing. trading to the Far East were in past days limited to the depth of the Suez Canal, and twenty-five years ago this allowed a draft of 25 feet only. It is now increased to 30 feet and further improve- mente are being effected. Tho Panama Canal has a depth of 41 feet and the general trend of modern naval architecture in in the direction of increased draft of steamers. It we sra to keep our place as one of the first ports of the World, it will not do to wait till one of the large steamers found for modern trade comes necessary to grief in our harbour, bat it wi be necessity to forestall event and put in hand dred [scheme which can be cari
