one, not even his enemies, can say that he has not worked for the good of China. He has always been on the side of sane progromn and his record in matters of re- | form remains unsurpassed. Those whosaw in him the hops of China as President baliers that as Em peror he will be even more of a success, but even then China is not likely to emerge from the darkness of the wood. - There is an increasing number of young men who are influenced by new political ideals and aspirations. They are a new force in the situation and Yuan, the be. wise, will take them into accoust. Politically the New Year opens with a clond in the sky, but many have every confidence in the ability of Yuan and his following to dispel thas cloud and gizi the impetus to a new era in which the msay and perplexing prob- lema of reform will be solved, to form a strong central Governmentą and give sliding pesca and pro- sperity to the people.

Chinese New Year.

Though the Gregorian Calendar was adopted when the Repub- licans put an end to the Manchu dynasty, and though there has since been an increasing observ- ance of that calendar in official circles in Chins, four years has not been long enough to wean the great mass of the Chinese people from the use of the lunar calendar. And eo Chinese New Year will doubtlear be observed to-mOITOW with undiminished unanimity and zest. Indeed, there was every indication a month ago that Chinese New Year would be made an cccssion of greater festivity than ever, for the enthronement of the Emperor-elect had been provisionally fized for this date or thereabouts. Bat the revolt in Yunnan interven- ing, the Enthronement was postponed indefinitely and Chin- ese New Year is on that account shorn of much of the interest and joy it was expected to have, for a large class of officials particular ly. To them the postponement of the enthronement has been great disappointment, for they had teen looking forward to the much rumoured list of honours and invitations to attend the "Great-Ceremony,” which is the synonym commonly used by the Chinese papers when writing of the Enthronement.
