sol EF/ThE CHINA

squeeze is an expressive word, the purport
OF which is particularly well known in China
III signifies the principle. or the practice, which
ever since the Tartar conquest has underlain
the whole imperial system of finance The En-
peror squeezes the ministers the ministers
squeeze the viceroys. the viceroys squeeze the
faorais. the taotais squeeze the head men of
the villages. and the head men of the villages
squeeze the people There are also various
cross references and transfer stations in this
system Of squeezing. But the theory is uni
form throughout. The strong squeeZes the
weak, and he does so not according TO an equi-
tabie rule. but according TO the ability of the
victim 10 endure without perishng The 1ues-
fion OF the tax gatherer is not how much ought
the taxpayer 10 pay. but how much is he able
10 pay-how much can be squeezed out of him.
That also seems TO be the present policy of
the powers. or of some of them toward China
In the discussions concerning the amount Of
indemnity 10 be exacted from China men have
been considering and investigating not the
losses sustained by foreigners for which China
should equitaDly make compensation bur the
financial resources of China and her ability TO
pay. The question which has been oftenest
asked is not how much is justly due 10 the
powers but how much IN will be possible 10
squeeze out OF China In other words. the
powers propose to treat China precisely as the
Mandarins have treated the coolies There is.
Of course. an old saying about giving one a
dose of his own medicine But in that case
what becomes Of our much vaunted Christian
superiority to the heather Chnee': 1t has
been the theory Of European statesmen that the
Chinese fiscal system should be reformed and
squeezing" be done away With. 1t would be a
bad beginning for such reform for European
sale
There is no possible doubt that China should
be made to pay just indemnity. SO far as it is
possible to do 80, for the terrible losses which
she inflicted, permitted to be inflicted. upon

KEEP WATCH AND WARD.

The discipline among the institutions in the
more than once proved to be sound and effective
when alarms of fire rang out at night. On
Randall's Island between the sunset Of Tuesday
and the sunrise Of Wednesday fire occurred
which might have caused extensive loss of life
if the department officers in the building in
which the flames started had not been thor
oughly instructed in advance and properly pre-
pared for SUCH emergency. The head of
the department. his lieutenants and those in
their charge should have words of commenda-
tion for the careful training and loyal Obedi-
ence which prevented heartrendng disaster
But to consider the subject from another
point Of view. is it not discreditable to this
great city that many of the buildings which
It owns and controls are cheap and flimsy
structures which are swept away with alarming
swiftness il flames once get extensive Roadway
within their walls? And is il not possible that
even if fire drills are insisted upon as they
should be. and are kept up faithfully. some of
the watchmen are worthless political loafers
who are wholly out Of place as guardians of
property and life? 1t Is a mere axiom TO say
that the time TO stop fire is when it begins
In too many instances sleepy, slow moving
watchmen have neglected their duties and
important buildings have been ruined by fire
Of water New-York needs more alert watch
men, not only in public buildings, but in every
branch Of her municipal service.

living and conquerng nations. Thus in the swift
progress of the English language toward univer-
sal use we may perceive an unerring demonstra-
ton of the splendid potency of the Anglo Saxon
race. We would not say that the English Ian
guage will ever become the sole language of
the world. No: nor will any ever attain such
distinction. But the day is at hand, if not even
now here when the English language will be far
more widely used than any other. and will rank
in influence above all others: in which day it
will be fitting as perhaps also inevitable. that
the spirit of the AngloSaxon race should pre-
dominate over all others throughout the world

There have been unpleasant reports of late of
cheating al cards in the smoking rooms of ocean
steamships and well known detectives who are
responsible for their utterances say frankly that
certain professional gamblers make a practice
OF voyaging back and forth over the Atlantic
for the express purpose OF fleeing simple minded
passengers. Are the great corporations which
control the ferry lines between Europe and
America blameess concerning these freebooters
of the marine roadways? Are they not as clear
ly bound to protect their passengers from such
depreda ;ions the great trunk lines of rail-
road are to keep shellgame swnders and the
three card monte thieves out of their trains?
The steamship lines. by taking reasonable pre-
cautions. can make it impossible for profess
sional gamblers TO plunder their patrons. and it
is not easy to excuse their laxity in this matter
