PLATFORMS are the d-clara-
tions of principles of a political
party. Compare the two plat
forms of the democratic and re-
publican parties, and you will
see that, while the republican
platform is full of brag and
buster about Offering generali-
ties with little that is definite
and to the point, and much that
is misleading, the democratic
platform is full OF plain, un-
equivocal, bold, and defiant

ALIEN RULE IN PEKING.

How the Allies Administer Their Re-
snective Ouarters-Japan Sets Them
All an Example.
AS | ride around the city on this mis-
sion or that. one fact stands out before
all others. The city Is, az | have pre-
viously explained, partitioned out for
jurisdiction among the powers. If one
could shut ones eyes to the presence of
the sentries and guards and to the ma
tionality of the various flags, 1t would
still be possible, and Is possible, to de-
termine the nationality of jurisdiction
in the different quarters solely by the
number, aspect and occupation o. the
Chinese in the streets.
The one fact which Is most prominent
to-day, and is increasing in prominence
week by week, is that the quarter
which has first revived from the shock
of what is, for the present at all events,
foreign conquest, is the japanese quar-
ter 1t is not open to any one to say
that such a statement is due to partl-
atty for Japan or national or political
bias of any sort The circumstance ~
patent and indisputable How far the
is a matter for satisfaction, and how
far the credit Is due to the Japanese or
to other influences, are questions open
to argument, but no one who passes
through the streets of Picking with eyes
open, or even half-shut, can conscien-
tiously Dispute the fact.
In the Russian quarter not one shop
out of a hundred is open. Those that
are open are poor and bare, and have
nothing to lose. There are some which,
though outWordly closed, with shutters
up and entrance barred, carry on trade
by the back door. 1t is difficult to say
to what extent this more or less overt
trade is carried on. 1t cannot amount
to very much. There are few Chinese
in the streets, and those all of the coolie
class, and almost all males The only
women to be seen are old and wizened
crones. There are few boys about,
always on the alert to hold horse,
though never certain whether they will
get few cash or q kick for their trou-
bic. There are no Young women to be
seen from morning to night. I need
not go into the reason and an obvious
one.
The German quarter is in a similar
condition, though there are more shops
open, and at a good many more busl-
ness may be done by knocking at the
closed and barred door, and explaining
in Chinese that ones visit Is a friendly
one and for no other purpose than
trade. The deserted condition of the
streets is much the same and the wo-
men equally terrified, though I doubt
whether with sufficient reason. In
both the Russian and German quarters
strict order and discipline are main
tanned with an iron hand and some
times heavy boot.
The American and English quarters

sooner or later follow it. In my opin-
ion it is, with certain qualifications, the
best that could be devised, and it has
been originated, put In shape, and car
ried into operation by the japanese,
while other nationalities have been
only beginning to cogitate about their
plans Under 1t the Chinese are hap
Ply, submissive, orderly and apparently
grateful Two days ago the principal
shop-keepers of the japanese quarter
united in making public recognition of
japanese goodwill by proceeding to
Colonel Shiba's headquarters and Of
fering him formal present. 1t took
the form of huge bamboo and paper
structure, somewhat in the shape of an
enormous umbrella, from which dangle
innumerable slips of paper, bearing in
scriptions of the name, business and ad-
dress of the memorialists. Thus:
Ching Wen-Li, flower seller in the
Sien-ting Alley, expresses his exalted
gratitude" and so on. The record re-
Veals that not only are the ordinary
events of life met by such tradesmen as
butchers, bakers and clothiers, but
that such luxuries as fortune telling,
ceremonial burials, and popular litera-
ture in the form of histories, the four
books of Confucius, and so on, are also
supplied in the Japanese quarter.
l have referred to reservations with
regard to the acceptance of the Japa-
nese system as a model. There are two
dangerous points in it. The first is the
employment of Chinese police. The
British also considered the practicable
tty of using Chinese as policemen, and
rejected the proposal, rightly as l
think. The japanese admit that they
are not to be trusted, and, in any case,
it is sufficiently obvious. In this mat
ter the English have more experience
than the Japanese, or any other nation.
There are times and places where Chi
neSe can be used as police with advan-
tage, but the place is not Picking and
the time is not now. Under the Japa.
nese the people are volunteers. They
offered themselves for the duty, and
they do not desire or receive payment.
There are more applicants than are ac-
cepted, and there is constant wedding
out Of unsatisfactory characters. The
success. The other part of the ma
chinery which has so far revealed de-
fects IS the Bureau of Grievances,
which is calculated to cause more trou-
Bile than it is worth, and bear differ
ent fruit from what is expected
AS matters now stand, the Japanese
plan of administration is the most sue
cessful. 1t is the plan which has been
so often acted upon by England in Chi
ma, and which has been more or less We
condemned by nearly every |
English critic in recent years-Lord |
Curzon, Mr. Norman, Mr. Chirol and |
the rest. 1t is the plan of reasonable |
Cancellation, combined with the firm !
of wrong-doing. 1t is an
exercise of intelligent discrimination in
preference to the arbitrary use of supe-
'ior force. 1t is curious that an Orien-
Lal and non-Christian nation should |
nave to prove the excellence of Chris
ian precepts to the Christian powers of
