It is faid tli.ji officials are appoint- ed every three yearx, itnd during that IIIIK- ihey re expected to enrich them- M!VN and gt government office! for nil their i datives. Five ye i. aj.'o it was announced that Chiim would go into the reform business and gradually stamp out opium nd .idopt western methods of education. These very reforms have been made the vehicles of corruption and oppresai< n ...i !:_: government officials. Of lute years the younu Chinese have been given to travel, and thousands have come in contact *ith western ideas and methods of goverugkent. ThcMC have returned lo their home cmiutry and awakened the people to the n ii in i- of the yoke ihitt upon them, and the present rebellion against conHtiiuted authority is the re suit. At the finind>ttioti of all thi< un- rest, however, we are inclined to credit the >eed that has been Mown all over China by the Christian missionaries fr< the west, who fr yearn have been pi caching a creed that the Chinese sea i as fur superior to >heir own code of honesty and morality HH daylight it from darkness. The country has lieen at a standstill since the time if Mnrco Polo in the 13th century, bled to iltatli by corrupt i ttio.l. and it is said by a Chi- nese gentleman himself that '.MI per cent, of the Chinese people do nut know where their nrxt day's lice i* 10 come from.
