On the "Roof of the WOrId.U

On the "Roof of the World"
China evidently does not intend to
submit without active resistance to
the aggressions of Russia, and is
now taking action in central Asia
which may be of momentous conse.
quence. Russia has for some time
past claimed the whole of that i'm
mense ia le-land which serves as
common ground between the three
Empires of Russia, China and India,
and which is sometimes known as
the "roof of the world" Russia also
claimed control of the passes from
Turkistan into the valleys of the
Indus and the Tarim. This claim,
however, was SO vigorously met by
England that the Russians retired
from the Afghan territory, holding
on, however, to the Chinese section.
The Chinese protested with equal
vigor, but their protest has remained
until this time unheeded, and, In
consequence, they have abandoned
the war of words and taken up the
more effective line of military resist

to strengthen the defenses at Kasbgar
and Yarkand, and to proceed thence
to the territory which the Russians
are now holding, or claiming to hold
When they arrive, the Russian and
Chinese forces will be face to face.
Russia will probably pursue her old
time policy of quietly getting out of
the way for the time being, and
stealthily returning as soon as appre
tensions have been laid and the
guard has been removed. If there
should be an actual struggle,
which is very improbable, Rus
STA would have the advantage
of superior military discipline and
science, but China would have the
enormous advantage of being close
to her own base OF supplies, from
which she can draw an almost Him
liable number Of men, while the
Russians are so far removed from
their base of supplies as to make the
transportation of large body OF
men almost impracticable. There is
something very picturesque in this
struggle between these two Empires,
both essentially Oriental in their
civilization, on the roof of the
world. "-Christian Union.

THE bill to prevent cholera from
entering Hawaii was law in less
than twenty-four hours after it was
introduced into the House. The
machinery of legislation can move
therefore with speed enough when
there is the determination to make
it do so. If this case would but
serve as an example to legislators.

THE Ministers are falling into
the Sinking habits of their prede-
cessors, maintaining an uncertain
or passive attitude toward many
important measures, and showing
very much disposed to evade the
necessity of voting, when voting
involves the assumption of an
embarrassing responsibility. They
deserve almost more pity than CEN
sure, for their only active support
comes from group of miserable
demagogues whom they cannot
fully appease and dare not offend.

What ia CircularY

The following definition of a circular
as regards our postal laws. comes from
the postoffice department, and may
prove valuable reading to business men:
A circular is printed letter which is
being sent in identical terms to several
persons. A circular does not lose its
character as such when the date the
name Of the sddressee and of the sender
are written therein, nor by the correction
of mere typographical errors. The date,
if written, must be the date of the circu-
lar. and not the date upon which some
thing is acknowledged therein to have
been received, or at which something is
to be done. or is to occur.
The permission to correct typograph-
ical errors does not include the right to
change prices in writing, or make writ>
ten alterations in the text. Matter
printed in circular form, with blank
spaces left for written insertions, must,
when filled out in writing. be prepaid at
the letter rate of postage. A printed re-
ceip,, with the name OF the sender or re-
ceiptor written therein, or signed there's
to, is not circular, but is first-cass
matter.
