CHINA AND JAPAN.

Strong as have been The Influences in favor
OF "A peaceful settlement OF the Corean dispute
they appear TO have failed TO effect their pnr
pose For fortnight the trend Of Affairs has
been directly toward war. The recent fighting
at Seoul made it wcll-nigh Inevitable, especially
since the attack upon the japanese was said 10
be instigated by the Chinese Resident and the
sinking Of Chinese transport by Japanese
g,inboat made much further in the same
direction And now have the announce
mcnt that war has actually begun. II is a war
that must be regarded with regret, and into
which the coInbatants are surely not entering
with cagcrness. Neither China nor Japan real

and England France and Russia, all deeply
interested in the case, can scarcely be sup
posed IA desire war which may ex-
tend into their own European circle.
Speculation on the probable result Of the war,
surprising China and Japan BE- left TO fight II
out between themselves. Is naturally rife; and
the most common estimate seems 10 be that
China has the advantage chiefly on her side
And at first sight the chances Of victory do APP
pear TO he decidedly in China's favor. Her
population Is eight or ten times as great "a that
OF Japan and she can therefore put vastly
larger army In the field Her territory Is I'M
mediatcy contiguous TO that OF Corea. 40 that
she can send troops thithcr by both land and
sea. while Japan must send hers all by sea The
navies Of the two Powers are not greatly I'M
equal In strength. but the COASTS aud ports OF
Japan are considerably more vulnerable than
those Of China. The latter country. therefore.
has in these material particulars decided adj
vantage over It's antagonist.
A more important factor, however. than mere
numbers or position Is that touched upon by an
intelligent Chinaman long resident IN this colin
try. when he said: THE japanese are the real
Chinese. They represent the best elements Of
the Mongol race" His words were entirely
true Not only the japanese the best OF the
Mongols. but they are close rivals OF the best

II has been APPLY said that Of late Mr.. Her
bert Spencer Is like the Prophet Elijah under
The Juniper tree who was so sure OF the utter
failure of his work that he prayed God he might
die The great philosopher began his scientific
reconstruction OF life firmly convinced. not only
that his philosophy was true. bur that the world
would soon acknowledges Its Truth. But by ia"
memorable logic OF facts he has been forced To
modify or Withdraw many principles that he
had laid down NJ settled. while M the same
time he sees the great stupid world fighting out

and explains the almost hopeless tone OF pes
smsm which has marked the recent uttcrances
Of Mr. Spencer. As a philosopher he has done
a work for humanity whose value cannot well
be- estimated As prophet h. has made the
capital mistake Of supposng that the slow time
lock Of evolution would unbar its bolts and give
him access To the mystery behind all phcnom-
cna within the short span Of his life And now
that he has discovered his mistake. III Is sitting

cause he thinks tho world Is going 10 dcstr1ic-

I'm which great thinker can become untrue 10
his own principles. For the one dominant note
~ the modern philosophy Of life, Of which Mr..
Spencer has been SO eminent IN exponent. II
It's Joyous. cxuberant belief that the trend OF
life Is upward and onward not downward and
backward. Those lines Of New Englands Quaker
poet are the expression Of the modern secular
spirit. quite rs truly ~ Of the modern religious
spirit
I know not where His Islands lift
Their fronded palms In air;

It was Huxley. We believe. who said that
many people think they are powerfully moved
by the truths Of religion. when, as Il matter Of
fact. they are simply suffering from an arcc-
ton Of the hillary duct. While we would ap-
proach the difficult science Of Biblical cxcgcsis
with becoming modcsty. we venture TO suggest
that this theory may explain the Juniper-trce
episode in the life OF Elijah. and also in the life
Of his last distinguished disciple who has just
been ntering such wall OF pessImism over
this country. "In the United States" he says,
