THE TWO Ii HUNG cHANes.

It is always sad TO see brave man.
hard fighter and a shrewd ana able
general forced to pause on the eve OF a
great conflict and wal, for the various
sections Of his army 20 settle lot OF
fights between themselves before they
meet the common enemy.
Whatever may be the opinion Of the dis
interested spectator as TO the Justice
OF the cause for which the general con-
tends. every one will regret that his
courage must be dullsd and his shrevd-
ness thwarted BY the consciousness that
the forces under him are disorganized,
inharnonious and therefore ineffective.
This seems to be the trouble with Ii
Hung Chang in his EFFORT TO lead the

vaIers. II is certainly the trouble with
another statesman and warrior nearer

desperate remedies.
Politics and principles aside. every
lover OF a fair fight hopes that the Ii
Hung Changs OF China and New York
each vii! take n good grip on the re-
bellious nccks Of quarrelling factions,
knock their jabbering heads together
and stand them up in line OF battle TO
win a victory or take an everlasting
thrashing, as the fates may decree.
This comforting and dickering and
dealing may be all in the public inter
est, and right and proper from a polit-
ical reform point Of view. but 1t takes
all the spectacular effect out OF the
conflict. and is. therefore to be deplored
by people who had rather watch a good
