1 Even this approximate statement would
need modification to render it exact for
on the west side especially in the south,
there are large dis tricts where the people
live almost in independence.
The native Formosans seem to be near
" as tenacious as the Chinese themselves,
but they are slowly giving way before
superior numbers. From Kelung, Tamsui,
Taiwan and other settlements on the west
coast, the Chinese gradually extended up
the rivers and over the alluvial plains
carrying on a constant war with the ma,
tives, civilizing some. killing others, but
always holding what they had got, and
usually advancing a step forward.
In two centuries the natives who re-
fused to bow their necks to the yoke and
who preferred Independence and their ma
tive savaCery, have been driven into the
mountains, where the Chinese advance
has stopped, probably because the soil
was unnVting.
At the present day. then, we may count
three distinct divisions of the population
of FOrmOsl:-The Chinese, the civilized or
Sinicized nBives and the Independent ma
tives. The Chinese population consists of

The Hakkas4 who are for the most part

tricts of the Kwangtung and Kwangsi
provinces of Southern China: but no one
appears to know whence they came. or
how they have been there; the only point
certain about them is that they are quite
different from the surrounding Chinese.

Whoever the Hakkas are, whether the
only true Chinese, as maintained by some
or totally different race, it is interest
ing to notice that the Tapping rebellion,
from its first beginning to its final over
throw, originated with and was guided
and controlled by EIakkas. They are a
strong and muscular race and in Formosa
they appear to intermarry freely with the
natives, and to make good colonists.

TO PREVENT "KNooKING DOWN.
Observations Passed Upon the Case
of Conductor GeesIin.
From the Railwav Age.

From the Railway Age.
The danger of doing injustice to honest
men by accepting circumstantiaI evidence
is illustrated in the case of Conductor
Geeslin of the Central railroad of Geor-
gia, in which Judge Speer of the federal
court at Macon has just rendered a de-
cision. Geeslin was discharged from his
position by the receivers of the road
eighteen months ago, on the ground that
the earnings reported from his train show
ed a falling off which seemed to indicate
dishonesty, and also on the strength of
reports made by detectives. He petitioned
the court for reinstatement, producing
contract made by a former manage
ment giving permanent employment on
an agreement that he would not sue the
company for injuries received in an acct
dent, and the judge ruled that the evil
dence did not show sufficient reasons for
the discharge and therefore ordered Gees
Inns reinstatement with pay amounting
to 81 800 at 500 a month, from date of dis
charge. Suit had also been begun by the
conductor for $4,000 as damages for breach
of contract and defamation of character
but the judge declined to allow this to be
entered, inasmuch as reinstatement with
back pay was equivalent to exoneration
from all charges. Inc conductor has
borne an excellent reputation and it is
pleasant to believe that he was unjustly
suspected.
The occurrence, however, suggests one
of the most difficult problems in railway
management, that of enforcing discipline
with exact justice, and especially of Prov
ing that employees have been guilty of pc
culation. The use of detectives or spot
ters," as they are opprobriously called, is
denounced by many railroad men and the
court in this case strongly reflected upon
the unsupported evidence of detectives"
honesty can be guarded against without
some method of inspection where oppor-
tunities for misrepresentation are as num-
erous as they are with train conductors,
unless passengers are compelled to pro-
cure tickets before boarding the trains
If detectives were always absolutely hon
est and just it might be fairly said that
honest conductors would have no reason
to fear their reports and would rather
welcome their investigation. Unfortu-
nately, it is doubtless sometimes the case
that detectives are so anxious to show
results that they bring charges without
having ample proof of their justice. How
to insure honesty in handling money will
probably always be a veXed problem, but
its difficulty suggests the Importance of
removing the opportunities to dishonesty
by the use of all possible safeguards, such
as ticket takers at gates and closely
guarded ticket limitations. The abolition
of the ticket scalper would stop the most
fruitful of all sources of temptation to
dishonesty on the part both of trainmen
and passengers.
