Torture in BokbnrR.
[st James Gazeito,I


The report that the Amir OF Bokhara
has ordered the abolition of torture in
his kingdom, in honor of the Cars es-
cape from death in q railway accident,
will suggest painful memories to Eng
lishmen. The commonest form OF tor
ture in Bokhara is confinement IN the
"blsck we'll, where the luckless victim
is devoured by vermin. This was the
fate OF Stoddard, who was afterwards put
to death along with Connolly by the
present Amir's grandfather. Other
cruelties, too, were practiced by "the
Butcher" as he was fifty called. Men
were thrown down from high walls or
towers, were flayed alive, or roasted in
ovens MIR. George Cursor, at the last
meeting OF the Royal Geographical So
ciety. showed photograph of the tower
from which criminals are still flung, and
he expressed hope that this barbarous
punishment would before long be abolish
ed. Torture is by no means uncommon
in the Indian native States indeed, Sir
Lepel Griffin describes it as a recognized
form of Judicial procedure. He men
tons the case of ruling chief who was
openly accused OF having the acrid Juice
of chillies squeezed into the eyes OF re-
luctant witnesses. He was an old gen.
teman, Sir Lepel says, "of the most soft
and courteous manners, and the idea
that chillies could be objected TO as q
means of judicial investigation did not
seem to have occurred to him."

Bechuanaland is the paradise Of the
workingman. In the course of our So
journ we never saw a beggar or starving
person. Masons in Bechusnaland were
getting wages of los. to 81 per diem,
and this with meat at sd. pound. Ma
tives in the coal pits were getting 5s. a
day. When we consider that a kallir's
food, consisting OF Boer-meal pap, costs
from sd. to Cd. day, there
is a good margin for saving. We
had Baralongs and BasutOs working
for us. The former we found clever
with their fingers, but very poor in ply
sique, with great Discrimination Tor
hard work. The BasutOs are fine race,
magnifcently proportional, and excel
lent workers, willing and intelligent.
The superiority Of the Basuto and the
Zulu is shown indisputably by the fact
that from 'them are recruited the
police and the searchers of the
diamond-felds. Some think it pro-
bable that the native races of South
Africa came originally from the
South-Sea islands, but be that as it NAV,
it is certain that Jewish customs obtain
among them. Circumcision is universal,
and the old Jewish law of raising up seed
to the deceased brother survives IN the
South African tribal law that when n
chief dies his next brother marries his
widow, and the children afterwarf born
from this union are accounted the clfl-
dren of the dead man, not OF the living
father.

RIGHTS Of NATIVES.

EDITOR BuLLETN:-ln your pa
per of last Wednesday | notice that
the Rev. Mr.. Bishop is still harping
on his favorite lheme-the necessity
of eliminating the natives from the
governing power of the country. He
says in effect that the right 10 gov
ern was inherited by the aliis more
by the foreigners than the natives.
How? BY cajoling, bullying and
bribing the natives to part with their
birthrlght and by using superior
civilization and knowledge to induce
them to part with their possessions.
He says further: "One hard and
formidable fact is that the haoles
have come here with their immense
wealth and civilization-that they
are obliged to hold and exercise a
full voice in governing the country"
Will Mr.. Bishop kindly enumerate a
few of the men who brought great
wealth to the country? With the
exception of Mr.. Claus Spreckels l
do not know of another one of our
rich men who has not acquired his
riches in the same way in which
they inherited the right to govern.
And now, as to his aloha for
"thesc too magnaDimous, too trust
ing people," If he would have us
really believe that he is sincere in
his professions of love and sympa-
thy for the native Hawaiians, why
did he seek to degrade them in his
famous address before the Social
Science Association, by gratuitously
publishing to the world the fact that
not more than percent of the whole
native Hawaiian race was free from
syphilistic taint: Does he know it
from personal examination? Did
he intend TO gain for the natives a
good name among residents of other
countries to whose knowledge such
statements must come? FACTS.

A COFFEE PLANTATION.

We were out on Sunter's coffee
plantation few days since and
were surprised TO see what he had
done. In less than year he has
cleaned in the heavy forest 10 acres
of land and set out over 5000 cof-
fee plants. He has done all the
work himself, and it shews up well.
The first planted coffee trees show a
growth of from 10 inches TO feet,
and look thrifty. The only blight
we could discover was where the cof-
fee had been planted under kukui
trees and since they have been cut
down the coffee is recovering from
the blight. BY the second year
from now there is but little doubt
that many of the trees planted will
commence to bear. This "aa"
soil seems to be the home of the cof-
fee and we hope that in few years
there will not be only 10 acres but
10000. The labor Of cleaning is
comparatively little. And it will be
necessary to let most of the ohia
trees stand for shade to the plants.

telegraphs, railways, as matters of
very secondary Importance. But
since l came TO Loochow, and be-
came an eyewitness, close at hand,
of the gigantic changes that are go
ing on in the conditions of life, the
conviction has been forced upon me
that the iudicious introduction of
railways will be of benefit to China,

press myself TINS plainly upon the
subject. While some Of my re-
marks will be considered to be those

ple's feeliugs-which are so henored

The whole memorial exhibits that
esprit of the age" TO which it APP
peals. Coming from high official
and addressed to the highest of the
Empire, it is promising sign for
the future of China. With the pro-
gressive yet cautious policy recon-
mended put into effect, the results
to China can only bo imagined, but
are certain to be stupendous in in

and in the relations of the "NIiddle

PROGRESS DAWRlNG IN CHINA.


mail contains the English transa-
ton of memorial addressed by the
Governor of Kiangsu to'the Throne
on the subject of railways. 1t is a
verys interesting document. The
Governor introduces his arguments
for railways by saying China now
finds herself in different position
toward the world from any which
she has occupied during the last
four thousand years. To return to
her old isolation would be now a
hopeless task for China, the memo
rialist observes, and, referring to
the esprit of the age" he says that
Of material results thereof she has
already equipped herself with four:
steamers, telegraphs, machinery,
and schools of technical education.
According to Western views" "
says he, steamers, railways and
telegraphs form triad, the omis-
sion of one member of which goes
far TO nullify the advantages con-
ferred by the other two. The three
are inseparably connected in the
Western mind as the ,conquerors of
time and space, the benefactors of
peoples, and the enrichers of states.
To say that China should go with
out railways while England, France
and Russia have them, simply shows
ignorance of what is going on in the
world around one"
The Governor outlines complete
railway system by which they should
be able to send troops, money, etc.
anywhere in their Empire within ten
days, and besides that, he adds,
awe shall be able to found prosper
Gus colonies, in these outlying re-
gions, of people who in China are
only starving proletariat and a
source of trouble to the Govern
ment, but who once transplanted
thither will be able to find fruitful
field for their now unemployed labor,
and will turn the desert into gar
den." The memorialist replies to II
plea for renewed attention to the
Grand Canal by citing the difficulty
of keeping it clear from sitting, and
urges a railway line as an altelna-
tive route of transport. He de-
scribes the grounds of opposition to
railways, showing some of the very
same objections that were used to
defeat them in England when first
projected, namely: 1t takes away
our livelihood 1T knocks down
our houses 1T desecrates oul
graves 1T will give foreigners all
the up-country profits as well as
what they have got out of our lands
already 1t is recommended that
the development of Il national rail
way system should be gradual, and
that it should be done wholly with
Chinese capital and, as far as posi-
BILE, by Chinese hands. 1.-The heIr
of foreigners will indeed be neces
sary in this way-as professors an(
instructors in the arts of making en-
gines, rails, ETC., from whom the
bright intelligent youths of China
will rapidly acquire what they have
to teach; we shall thus in few
years have railway staff complete,
from the highest to the lowest mem
bers, without the need of looking to
foreign nations for any assistance
whatever.
In conclusion the Governor says
~ can appreciate the opposition OF
officials of Peking to railways.
