were unfair. 1t is a question OF
expediencY.
In the China matter that is a
question best determined by those
with the best knowledge OF the
circumstances and OF the Chinese
character. Among the qualities
which 60 70 make up that un
earthly thing mercy and the un-
derstanding OF mercy have no
place. A people through whose
penal system physical torture
creeps like a red serpent; 10 whose
observation torment in all its hide
Gus forms is so familiar a specta-
Gle that they hardly turn aside to
see it; whose women and children
look on unaffected while some
hapless wretch is having his skin
removed piecemeal by the public
executioner--such a people is in
accessible to the suasion Of elevated
sentiments and will interpret
mercy and moderation as fear to
pursue an advantage.
OF the four hundred millions OF
Chinese probably three hundred
and fifty millions believe that the
foreign devils have been ceieated;
that they occupy the capital by
sufferance Of the Emperor during
his voluntary absence; that he is
debating the terms OF peace from
his pleasure palace in Singapore.
It seems expedient that they be
awakened from this pleasing dream
bY something that they will un-
derstand as inconsistent with the
reality OF ic An imperial decree
announcing that the leaders Of the
uprising against the foreigners
have ceased to exist appears to be
about the most effective way to
open their slant eyes to the facts OF
the case. In demanding the death
OF these gentlemen with a civil
concession to Chinese customs as
to the manner of their extrusion
from this vale OF tears) the foreign
ENJOYS, including our own Minis
ter, do well.

press are so silly and so powerful
as to detach the United States

shed" the resulting complication

those to whom the continuity OF a
dozen Chinese lives will seem i'm
