Some Chinese Impressions.

There is no. such thing in China as
governmegI, as we understand it.
There Isl the outward form, but 1t is
entirely devoid of substance. There
are officials. but they lack power, and
even the imperious will of the En-
press Dowager cannot be impressed on
the people at large. The present dis
turbance, if it is at least q popular
uprising. indicates the helplessness Of
the central government to govern; or
If it is at most actually supported by
the authorities, then we see the curl
GUS spectacle of a government carry
ing on q war against the civilized
world in concert, with the greater
part Of its people and the whole of its
navy standing by apparently unmoved.

present such an anomaly.-William
