sooner or later retaliate upon the ocuntries that have shutout her people irom their territories following upon this pro phecy wbicb is said to be based upon per sonal observation comes a new york herald telegram purporting tobefrcm shanghai to tho effect that tho emperor and his cabi net at peking are even now deliberating up on a memorial demanding the expulsion from china of all americans in chinese employ the rumour does not seem intrinsically im probable the wonder is rather that china has hitherto taken so meekly the insulting and iljurioua treatment of her citizens by the united states in contempt of treaty stipulations especially as the presence of large numbers of american citizens in her own dominions affords so ready a means of retaliation it was possible of course that the emperor and his government were wise enough to see that their own country would bo the greatest loser by the driving out of american capital and enterprise but anger does not usually stop to take counsel with prudence and there is no reason to suppose that the passion for revenge is not at least as strong in the chinese aa in the european or anglosaxon breast certainly ho one could save on the grounds of a very lofty morality blame the chinese should they insist on the uncere monious departure of every american citizen from their country it is tho nature of re venge that the retaliatory aot usually goes beyond that which oalls it forth herein liestho chief source of danger the united states could ecaicely with any show of reason resent the exclusion of her citizens from china but tho movement for expul sion should it really be made will hardly be restrained within legitimate bonnds it would be strange if in the enforcement of such an edict deeds of repine or violence should not occur such as wonld arouse in the united states nn irresistible clamour for strong measures it may be of course that the rumours in question are wholly unfounded and all these dangers imaginary but unless the chinese government is anxious to keep all its people at home and is rather glad when they ore maltreated abroad it is bard to beliove that the oriental rulers havo not laid to heart tho
