THE REFORMERS' REPLY.
The following is an open letter to
Consul Yang Wei Pin and Vice Consul
Goo Kim:
Sirs: Your proclamation, together with
the booklet issued by Chang Chi-tung.
Governor of Human and Hupeh, has
been read carefully by myself, and as
member of the local Bow Wong Asso-
citation and one who refuses to have his
name taken from the books of that so
clety, l desire to ask you a few Ques-
tons, as well as call your attention to
"a few things which may have escaped
you.
And first let me ask if our Emperor,
H. l. NJ. kwang Hsu, in Changing the
old order of things as you say he is
going to do, will remove from office the
holders who are in sympathy with the
Boxers and Conservatives? If so, gen.
tiemen, are not your own official heads
in danger? Surely, men who advocate
arresting innocent families and relatives
OF Offenders are the worst kind of Box
ers!
However, in my letter of a few weeks
since to the editor of the esteemed pa
per which VIII kindly publish this. 1
pointed out that our beloved Emperor
never announces what he Is going to
do, but DOES 1T. and therefore the
Kind invitation of yourselves to the mem
hers of the Bow Wong Society. together
with the bait you throw out TO those of
us who are intelligent and educated land
that means nearly all of the local socie-
W, to call at the Consulate, must spring
from some other source. It would seem
that the members of the society in Ho-
nolulu are more intelligent than your
honored selves. for they are laughing at
the childish threats and pleadings Of
Your Honors
1t is said that the rice asked for abso-
luton is fixed by Your Honors at 50. so
head. This would account, to some ex-
tent. for the anxiety Of Your Honors to.
save us; but fear your pockets will not
be too small to hold your earnings.
I therefore desire to thank you both
for your kindness in making the time
thirty days grace and leave the people
of these Islands an equal time In which
to study over your fiendish threats and
brand YOU both as worse than Prince
Tuan the leader of the late Boxer out
break. BOW WONG.
