PRINCE CHUN.

lFather OF kWang 81. lThe man at the helm
from 1859 to 1884
Prince Kung was for years the real
master at Picking. He was president
Of the tsung-li-yamen and handled the
reins during the wars with France and
England as we'll as during the great re-
belliOn of the Taipings and Mohamme-
dams. In order to give him greater
power the imperial council of state was
degraded and two obnoxious princes
beheaded.
Prince Kung retired in 1884, but up
to that time he was the executive head
of the Chinese empire, while Ii Hung
Chang was it's strong right arm. Hav-
ing imperial rank and residing in the
exclusive court, he was little known to
foreigners. During the "a years of his
premiership there was an emperor on
the throne but four, so that the prince
was virtually monarch of the realm.
His foreign policy was defensive one,
but he avoided collisions like the pres
ent by diplomacy which was never
equaled. He was all things to all men
and did not hesitate to announce
through his agents that he had no love
for the foreigner, but granted conces-
sions through fear of the consequences
Of antagonism. He was a reformer in
educational matters, and one Of his
first acts was to recommend the found
Ing of college for the teaching Of
western sciences.
D,tV1 he Co h.
ent emperor, was man with less force
Of character than his brother Kung.
His influence, however, was given TO
the reforms which Kwang Su inaugu-
rated after his accession to full control.
In fact, Prince Chun was, with re-
spect to the emperor whenever Kwang
Su acted on his own impulses, what
Prince Kung was to the dowager en-
press during the regencies, the power
behind the throne. But wanting the
tact Of Kung he stirred up opposition,
and every step forward was followed
by a reaction.
The princes of the house of Mant-
choo hold imperial rank down to the
seventh generation, when they become
commoners. They inherit military tai
ent, as do all the powerful Mantchoo
courtiers, from their Tartar ancestors,
but In naval matters are weak, since
they know nothing of the sea. Al
though holding sway as conquerors,
their rule has been conciliatory, and
they have fostered Chinese institutions
rather than imposed their own. The
love of learning among the Celestials
has been encouraged to the extent that
Mantchoo emperors and princes have
become authors and patrons of Chinese
literature.
In general no discrimination is made
by the rulers between Chinese and
Mantchoo subjects, and the Chinese
ofiiceholders far outnumber the Mant
choo. III feeling on the part Of the
Chinese toward the ruling family never
takes the form of hatred of Mantchot
blood. Good emperors and bad stant
or fall on their merits as just rulers
A bad emperor in China has no claim
to the respect of his subjects.

No man can be happy unless he tries to
