Ii Hung Chang,

No living public man of Asia has been
so much the subject of discussion and criti-
cisln az Ii Hung Chang. Much of tho
criticism has been unfavorable, and his
critics arc often unfair. 1t is hardly just
to him to estimate his character and attain
ments according to the standard Of western
nations, His education is exclusively orr
entail, and his entire life has been spent in
China, His knowledge Of our civilization
is such as could be acquired in the motley
society of treaty port. As statesman
lie has had to deal with very conservative
und bigoted constituency and with associ-
ates prejndiced against and ignorant of for
cign nations. Judged in the light of his
education, his experience and his surround
ings he must be regarded as the first of liv
ing statesmen of Asia and one of the
most distinguished of the public men of
thc world John W. Foster in Century.
