GOVERNMENT IN CHINA.
A recent number of tba North
China Daily Kewa, published at
Shanghai, contains a very inter
esting and instinctive article on
government in China, which ex
plains many of the seeming
anomaies which have been noticed
in connection with the recent as
saults on foreigners in different
parts of the Chinese empire. The
article in question says :
Our first impression of the gov
ernment of China is that it is an
absolute despotism. The emperer
is all powerful ; there is no popular
representation, practically no press,
no right of public meeting. The
officials who govern the people
bold their posts on the emperor's
appointment, and they se re
movable at any time if the emperor
is dissatisfied with them or pro
motes them. There are no elec-1
tive offices in China. All appoint
ments are from above.
These would seem to be ail the
conditions requisite to a perfect
autocracy ; but the artio'e referred
to, after the prefatory remarks
quoted, goes on to eay :
On the other nana, among
Oriental countries at any rate,
their is none more democratic
than China. To be successful, to
have a good record in Feking, an
official must conciliate tha people
in his charge, and he must also
govorn so justly as to conciliate
heaven, for any natu:al calamity
ttat occurs in his jurisdiction is
ret down to heaven's dissatisfac
tion with his rule. But it is most
important that he should a eo con
ciliate the people -"der him that
there should b no popular out
breaks. Outside the western.'
gate at I'iukiang, prominently in
the tight of every official as he
nears the wall to enter the city, is
a large stone tablet with the
legend engraved on it, "it is the
duty of the mrndarin keep his
people in peace."
We are constantly getting
evidence that in China the success
of the governor depends on the
consent of the governed, or, as it
haa been epigrammatically ex
pressed, "China is an absolutism,
tempered by the right of rebell ion."
While the people have nothing to
say in the appointment of their
omciais, iney can make it so
unpleasant for an unpopular
official that he will be removed,
and instances have been known
of their forcibly putting him in
his official chair and canying him
outside the boundary of his juris-
uicuon. unpopular exaction are
met by strikes, by the traders
shutting up their shops until the
tax ia removed or modified, some
times bv the tax collectors being
mobbed and beaten and their
books destroyed ; while, unless he
is a veiy firm man, the mandarin
has too much regard for his record
at Peking to punish e.iy one
directly.
PREVALENCE OF GAMBLING,
The article on "The Prevalence
of Oambl'ng," which in the Octo
ber number of The Forum, is one
of the clearest and best explana
tions of the almost universal preva
lence of gambling that has ap
, , .
peareu tor many years. It is
by Mr. W. B. Curtis, editor of The
Spirit of the Times.
"It is safe to say," writes Mr.
Curtis, "that there never was a
time in the history of the world
when gambling was so rife among
all classes of eople as at present.
In fact, many legitimate branches
of business are tinged with the hue
of speculation ; those persons who
do not bet on horse races in stocks,
gratify their respective tendencies
by dabbling in rural town lots,
in mining shares, and in various
other so-called business enter
prise?, the method of which are
really variations of the methods of
gambling by the roulette wheel,
with twenty eagle birds instead of
one. The same cass of men who,
in the last century, wagered thou
aauds-and hundreds of thousands
on the turn of a card or the empty
ing of a dice-box, now speculate
in the stock produce, or the cotton
exchange, and on horse racing,
which is at present the greatest of
all gambling games."
Mr. Curtis, after citing figures to
show the vast scale on which bet
ting is carried at horse-races and
in lotteries, presents some interest
ing views on the moral effect of
this vice upon those ho indulge
in it persistently. a uoiu
gambler," he says, "is a great
man gone wrong, and gambling
is a misdirection of courage and
energy and enterprise and of most
of those attributes that make men
most manly. The same mental
qualities that enable a man to
await without a treuior the turn ef
a card that carries his fortune, or
the stock quotation that will make
him a beggar, will lead him to face
death unflinchingly at the call of
glory, of honor, or of duty; will
bring him first over the breast
works when a forlorn hope saves
an army ; and wili nerve him to
risk his life for others at the
throttle, in the surf, amid flame
and smoke, or in a hospital.
The Chronicle thinks Australia
deserres applause, iler people
refused to go and see the brutal
pugilist, John L. Sullivan, dis
gracing the dramatic profession by
making believe to be an actor.
The' Australians are fond of sport,
but they have too much self re
spect to inn after a creature like
the wife-beater Sullivan. It is to
be hoped that the pecuniary em
barrassment the pugilist is now
suffering from will continue in
definitely, and that he will never
be able to raise enough money to
pay his passage back to America.
