A CHINESE REFoRMER.

No one will be disposed to quarrel with
tho action of the authorities of the port
of San Francisco in OBTAINING the Chi
nese reformer and scholar, Su Shin CHING,
who has just sought refuge in the United
States from the danger which his pro-
gressive spirit has entailed upon him.
AS the Chinese representative at WASH
ington demanded his detention that
action must be regarded as little more
than a, necessary precaution.
The Iabors of men like this for a re-
form of existing social. political and
economic conditions within the Chinese
empire offer tho most hopeful view OF
the Chinese situation AS long as men OF
brains and culture are available to pro-
test against false or dangerous concep-
lions of governmental powers there must
always he a prospect of eventual reform.
From what knowledge of China the
people Of this country have secured dur
ing the past year or so it is not easy to
foresee success for any reform move
ment carried on among the Chinese
themselves. The plane Of popular intel
Tgence is not sufficiently high; while tho
disturbed condition of the country must
leave it the prey of Internal distraction
for many years to come if dependence
alone is to be placed in the efforts of the
government of the empress to bring
about an Improvement.
Sooner or later it Will be necessary to
depose the present actual ruler Of the
Chinese empire. The influence and pur-
poses of the emperor Kwang Su, SO far
as the world is permitted to know of
them, are all of the best. Any man
engaged in an effort to put an end to
the reactionary policies which keep him
from practical control of the affairs of the
empire of which he is the nominal ruler
must on all the knowledge we possess be
regarded as a patriot, and one the suc-
cess of whose work would result in the
good of his country.
There is nothing charged against su
Ching which would be sufficient to warrant
the Withholding from him of the rights
guaranteed by that document of some
what uncertain tenor. the federal consti-
tuition. He is entitled to his liberty, and
it should be his at the earliest possible
moment. If he Is the man that the dis
patches picture him as being he will be
able to greatly affect the future Of his
country among the Occidental peoples to
its lasting advantage. The presence Of
such a man in the United States at this
time will be greatly to the gain of the Chi
nese people in giving to American public
opinion a truer and more correct under
Standing of what action is most necessary
to bring about the early accessibility of
the interior of the great empire to the
commerce of the world.
Let US hope that not only will the au-
thorities at Washington order the imme-
date release of Su Shin Ching; but that
he will be afforded the fullest facilities
for making known to this and other peo-
pies the actual political conditions as
they exist in China.

CASE OF sU SHIN CHING.
His Right to Entry Up to Aassista II I
Secretary Taylor.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-The question
OF the deportation Of Su Shin Ching,
the prominent Chinese official reformer
now under arrest at San Francisco viii
be determined by Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury Taylor.
The question Of his right to land is
very much involved, the collector at San
Francisco declaring that Sus papers are
entirely correct and regular, and the
Chinese consul general insisting that he
obtained admission through false pre-
lenses. 1t is thought at the department
that there may be good deal of Chinese
politics mixed up in tho case, but the
matter was held in-abeyance until in re-
sponse to Secretary Taylor's order, al
the papers bearing on the case reach
here.
The Chinese authorities here say that
undue Importance Is being attached to
Su, as he is not one of the prominent
group of agitators and is entirely too un-
important to have any such price placed
upon him. It appears that tho leading
spirits of the agitation are Kang and
one or two other prominent Cinnamon,
but Su's name, 1t is said, has not nither-
to figured among them. About three
months ago an imperial decree was IS
sued. relieving these agitators from pun
ishment. so that 1t Is stated they would
