DR.. n. Wayt & Bro, ~Staunton, Va.

| O'Clock in the morning. After that time
and before 6 o'clock. the emperor, in the
old days before the dowager empress put
a stop to it, was accustomed to take les
sons in English and other foreign Ian
guages, and It was said that his tutors
had more influence with him than any of
his constitutional advisers. When the
amiable old empress took charge of
affairs for the second time she banished
these tutors from the empire and set a
price on their heads.
The whole Chinese empire is divided
into eighteen provinces, each ruled by a
governor general, who is responsible d.
ectly to the emperor for the entire admin
istradon, political, judicial, military and
financial Each governor general is as
sisted by a council and by number Of
minor officials, such as the treasurer the
sub-commissioner, and the literary chan
cellor. Each province is divided into de-
partments. ruled by projects, and each
department into districts, with a district
ruler over each. Each town and village
has also its separate government. with
a complete set of officials, so that the
off1ce-holding class in China is large and
The gradations of rank among Chinese
officials are clearly defined, and each man
is directly responsible only to his immedi-
ate superior. Thus, the village governor
reports TO the district ruler, and he in
turn to the governor of the department.
The departmental governor reports TO the
governor general of the province, who
may remove him at will or even cut off
his head. The whole administration,
therefore hinges on the eighteen provin-
cial governor generals, or viceroys, and
those positions are in the greatest de-
mand A village official who wishes to
keep his place finds it a good plan to
make large gifts to the district ruler, and
therefore levies large taxes on the people.
The district ruler finds it good policy to
hand over most of what he gets in this
way to the departmental chief, and the
latter passes 1t on to the governor gen.
eral of the province. To be appointed
governor general of a Chinese province,
therefore, is equivalent to gift of
large fortune, the amount depending only
on the avarice Of the viceroy in power.
A wise Chinaman greatly prefers to serve
his country as a provincial governor gen.
eral or viceroy than as member of the
grand or privy council, the "perquisites''
OF which positions are small.
This form of administration makes 1t
clear why the body of Chinese officials
Is the most corrupt and inscriptions in
the world.
