She's Pretty Shiny Herself.

q ,HEN IL comes to dynasties
w there is nothing in this wide
world that is a match for the
queer arrangement they nave in China.
The latest tidings via Shanghai tell of
the upsetting OF the emperor. and the
empress dowager figures as the mover
OF everything that is transporting in the
celestial realm. The emperor has sud-
denly disappeared. the popular pre-
sumption Is that he is dead-killed and
quietly put out Of the way.
A recent press statement was that
the developments in palace affairs on
firm the belief that the emperor. by the
radical reforms which he had decreed.
prepared himself for the blow struck
by the dowager empress. The success
sive edicts furnish a history OF the
trend OF affairs. The emperor's chief
adviser. Kang Yuwei. obtained IN
bounded Influence over him and inspired
the reforms. TIL official classes OPP
posed him and consulted the dowager
empress as to the means OF multiplying
these reforms. The current story Is
that the immediate cause OF the emper-
or's downfall was that he appeared one
day in European clothes.
1t was enough that the empress dow
ager was consulted; apparently this old
girl Is what In American parlance woulL
be called "a bird" Chinese emperors
may come and Chinese emperors may
go. but this dowager goes on forever.
Each emperor of China has the
right to appoint his successor. and the
Emperor H~ien-Fung. on designating
his minor son as his successor. appoint
ed eight high officials as guardians.
Soon after the death of Hien-Fung the
widow effected a palace revolution. dis
missed the eight high officials from the
rengency n took the supreme author
ity herself. as guardian of her sons
rights. She then appointed Prince
Kung president Of the council of minis
ters and regent of the empire.
Fol- the next dozen years the dowageI
empress continued in supreme authority
and in many ways proved her strength
OF character and shrewdness. Then it
became policy to bring the young en-
peror to the front. So. in February.
1873, the egency was brought 20 an end
and the former Ki-Tsiang assumed full
power as the Emperor Tung-Che. His
career as actual emperor was a short
one. At the beginning of 1875 he died.
leaving n widow. but no issue.
The old dowager empress again
stepped in and took direction OF affairs,
with the nominal cooperation OF the
young widow. A cousin OF the late boy
emperor. a child only three years old,
was chosen for the succession. for the
shrewd reason that the dowager en-
press could manage affairs in her
nephew's minority as she had in the
minority OF her son. Ssai-Tien was
called to the throne under the name of
Kwang-Hsu. and his aunt left him to
amuse himself while she ran the gov
rnmen in his name.
At sixteen the emperor became Of age
and nominally assumed government in
March, 1887, but 1t was not until Feb
ruary. 1889. that the dowager empress
yielded the authority to him. Her pol
icy has been one OF frequent Interior
ence n now she has disposed OF the
twenty-seven year old emperor so
promptly that nobody in Pekin's Off
cial circles knew what was going on
until the coup was complete.

owe recommend the establishment
of a system of postal savings banks"
This is one of the many excellent
planks of the Republican state plat
form and at the same time one of the
favorite demands" of the Populists.
The editor of The ISLANDER has long
believed in it and has believed that
the best and surest way to hasten the
establishment of such system or any
other reform is to insist upon the recog-
milton of its merits by the Republican
party. Two years ago the present Pop
ulist speaker of the house Of representa-
tives, Mr.. Cline, who had served with
the writer as delegate to Republican
state convention two years before that,
called attention in public speech to
the fact that the writer was in favor of
system of postal savings banks, not
outstanding his pronounced Republic
canism. We are pleased now to see
that the Republicans of this great state
have declared themselves unequivocal
ly in favor of savings bank system
that would be of incalculable benefit to
the common people" and insure the
absolute safety of their savings.
