CELEsrlAL PROGRESSION.
The time Was when China, under
threats from English guns. Wa obliged
10 open her ports 10 the commerce OF
The world. Pandora's boz Was rudely
burst open and the world hes nov 10

uese have overhowsd in all directions
and 10 oil countries. We know to our
sorrow how 1t IL in America. and We
propose to try and control II to . very
considerable extent. or at least - far -
possible. Give the Chinese IN inch and
they Will take several inches. for there

are an sntsrprising nation. They date
their existence a. . people Thousands Of
years ahead Of ours. and glory In the
fact. Constituting ons-fourth Of the
population OF the world, and being
forcibly called upon to associate with
the rest Of the world. they are umsr

L. il but recently that King Kalakaua,
OF the Sandwich Islands. came on . Wait

Europe With the serious idea in view to
secure from good. civilized countries an
emigration to replace the badly desi-
mated and demoralizsd population Of his
beautiful and fertile islss OF the Pacific.
His invitation to other countries vas too

proposition that II other nations will

Of the present age were played out with
them thousands and thousands Of years
ago. and all they seek now is to utilize
whatever improvements they may re-
quirs for present use and benefit.
They notice that al influential and
powerful nations have an extensive and

Only last week q London telegram stated
that Chinese ofaesrsssnd crews had ar.

Chinese government.
We have just concluded and ratified Q
