CHINA
THE issues on which the tremen
I doos conflict In China la being
fought out aro gradually grow-
. ing clear.. The. series of .revo
lutionary successes whereby one
great city, one provincial' center af
ter another, have fallen into their
bands, . baa brought them within
striking 'distance of. Peklnn, the
stronghold of the Manchu race.
The whole of central and southern
1 China, an empire In Itself both In
' territory and In population, is in the
hands of their adherents.
- If the infant emperor, his father.
' and the court, have .not already
taken to flight it Is .plain enough
that'the Manchu power is broken, the
day of their ascendancy; gone. ' The
nascent parliament has done Its
" work, In forcing from a feeble gov-
; ernment grants and concessions of
power . absolutely fatal to the con
tinuation of their rule. Then the
members disappear one, by one, and
. the spirit of that part of revolution
ary China which desired' constitu
tional ' government under a limited
'Manchu emperor. Is left without a
mouthpiece. -
, " The figures on the stage which
draw all eyes are Yuan Shi Kai, the
supposedly strong man of China dur
ing the last reign, and the revolu
tionary commander-in-chief, LI Yuan
: Heng.' Yuan Shi Kai coifld ,: have !
drawn to himself a great following
' In central and northern China, both
In the army and in official circles, it
be had resolutely taken a strong part
against the revolution and trusted
to himself to come out ahead In the
ultimate and Inevitable settlement
But It looks now as if he had over
played bis hand. Obviously the rev
olutionary general strikes hard and
fast, with "On to Peking: for his
: watchword.-; ''.': -,..; '':
i' Does revolutionary success mean
a Chinese republic, and that a' stable
one? j There ,'ls nothing ' Impossible
in the idea:'- r - V:.D?;;v;-;''
In .the iflrst' place the provincial
distribution of the empire lays, the
foundation for a .republic, for t the
provinces have been all distinct en
titles. Independently ' governed by
viceroys and tbelr advisers. : Next,
though there . Is no common spoken
language there Is a common written
language- The basic Idea on .which
.Chinese government has rested is
that tbft nation must be governed by
iHoral agency rather than by physical
Uobs as other Impartial tribunal do
between Individual.
