Sir Edwin Arnold is warm partisan of the Japs, but he had the privilege of witnessing the grand army maneuverS of some two or three years since, and no ono will deny to him c knowledge of the interior economy of the country. Sir Edwin Arnold. says the London Daily Graphic, will not countenancc the belief of Mr, Curzon that the Jap anesc government is desperately occu- pied with domestic politics.
 II am surprised that so intelligent an observer should not have known how little the Japanese houses of parlin- ment count socially or politically agalnst the policy of those ministers whom the emperor appoints and whom he removes at his sole pleasure. When the deputies make themselves impossi- ble they are simply sent home; when they refuse supplies public funds are taken quietly on account; and when they bring things 10 deadlock the emperor and his advisers carry on the business of the country, after dissolv- ing parliament, which, amid all these vagarics--thC lively working of new and generous winc--remains sJcadfaSt. ly loyal and ardently patriotic
 That the two countries had equal rights in Corea, and that when one in- creased its force the other was bound to do the same, was the writer's con tcnticn--in shcrt, that Japan has done and is doing precisely what England would have done under the same cir cumstances Tn the present struggle Japan unquestionably stands the cham pion of progress, of justice, and of in- ternltional development. So that the partisanship shown in certain quar- tcrs against her has in it m element of stupidity which cannot therefore be easily excused" Mors interesting than this, though, is Sir Edwin Arn0ld's re. hinder of one Of the forces which moro potcntly tends to hold China to- gethcr in her intense and exclusive na- tionality." namely, the extreme anx- icty of the Celestial to be buried at home But if some high cccleS as- tic;l authority, or the Nermilli0n sn- cil itself should decree as they well might, that Confucius shoull be sat isfcd if pinch of Chinese dust were thrown into the foreign gravc-thon the iloodgates would be open to q gen eral Chinese iminiTration intuu.4 lands.
 "One pcrcciyes how heavy the Ubligu- ton is and at the same time how bind ing. Hhen again and again, at San Francisco and other ports of embarlsa- tion, Chinese passengers are stopped carrying in a carpct-bag or a hat-box s..I any such general emigration of China men occurs as that which l am fore casting, 1t will be a social and industri- al dcluge, The markets of the world will be literally swamped with the most industrious. persevcriug, fearless and frugal specimens of mankind who will everywhere underbid labor and monopolize trade, as they have done in Singapore, Penang and many other spots. The danger to civilization that China represents consists in this rather than in her unwieldy strength and slothful resources, the ineGicacy of which for actual service Japan has al- ready exposed by the brilliant eoroa mencement of the present c1hipaigh
 For these and other reasons it is to the interest of the civilized world that China should hot become more homo gcncous or any larger than she is at present, and above all that she should not intrigue with the second colossal standing menace to human progress, the Russian empire, agalnst the free dom of the PaUifc That German jour nal had the true instinct in scientific politics which lately wrote that, in the war inst declared, the sympathics and good wishes of civilization were due en- tirely to the side of Japan"
