and fair amount Of courage, and, of
course, there is just any number Of
him. It would perhaps be safest to
abolish the imperial court altogether
and make the viceroys independent kings
each in his own province. This would
cut the country up into a number of
kingdoms, each equal in size and popu-
lation to the average European power,
hut not large enough to be of any dan
ger to the rest of the world. The vice
roys no doubt would be quite willing to
accept such an arrangement, they hold
the greater part of the power already
anyway, the imperial power being more
or less of shddoW. The country could
only gain by itoas it would put the gov
ernment Of each kingdom into the hands
of one directly interested in making it
q success, and sras each province practi-
cally has it's own language, the people
differing among themselves almost as
much as thoseo of the various European
countries. such .aIr;;division would also
meet popular conditions as well.
