CHTNEsE REFoRKs AND REACTIoy.

China is the scene just now of a curious min
Cling and contrasting of reform and reaction.
The Empress DoWager who is still the real
ruler Of the realm. will in November next cee-
brate her seventeen birthday anniversary. In
preparation therefor she has issued a decree
saying that in view Of the sufferings of her
subjects in Manchuria and the perils which sur
round the empire. she will accept no presents,
and viii permit no feastng or other extrava-
CANT celebrations. Another decree dismisses a
number Of useless but expensive officials and
consOlidates other offices, thus effecting a con
siderable saving. A third, which must have
stricken officialdOm with panic, orders the col
lectorS Of taxes on land to present n statement
showing exactly how much was collected from
the taxpayers and how much was paid into the
imperial treasury. This was probably suggest
ed by Sir Robert Harris recent report outlining
scheme for securing vast revenue from land
taxes. It will be interesting to see how the
clever Celestial mathematicians contrive TO con-
ceal the so per cent or more Of "rake-off" which
has hitherto been a feature Of the internal reve-
nue. system.
Yet side by side with these valuable reforms
come sad relapses into old and evil ways. The
recent improvement Of the Octrol system at
Picking seems to have been abandoned and the
former corruption has been resumed In the
department Of public works at the capital. too
economy and efficiency have been replaced with
plundering and laundering OF the worst tyne.
Nor does the sOlicitude of the Empress for the
welfare of the empire always go so far rs self
denial or the subOrdination of personal vani-
ties TO the general good, for we are told that
large sums Of money contributed by the prov
inces for the uses of the imperial army and
navy have been used in the purchase of auto
mobiles and other Injuries for the Dowager
The course OF affairs in BRIEF presents the
aspect Of a seesaw. One end Of the beam goes
up into the light and clear air OF reform and
progress. and at the same time the other goes
down into the shadow and dirt Of the old cor
rupton.
1t is presumable however, that. on the whole
progress is being made. Reaction probably does
not go quite all the way back. When once a
radical change has been made in the right d.
rectiOn things can never be exactly the same
as they were before. There will be a few who
have learned to appreciate the better way and
who will strive for its maintenance and will re-
sist backsiiding Moreover, year by year the
pressure OF outside nations upon China grows
stronger and their influence grows greater.

II is not altogether surprising that some mem
bers Of the European press decline 10 regard
seriously the Presidents promise 10 call sec
ond peace congress at The Hague, and affect
TO regard It as "a bit Of political play incident
10 the Presidential campaign" They are merely
taking their cue from some dsingenuous fac
tional sources in this country. from which such
sneers were prompt TO issue We cannot de-
mand that foreign observers take American af
fairs at an estimate higher than the American,
and when American estimates differ we cannot
always expect the foreigner 10 discriminate
Justly among them. Perhaps II too much

serted. abandoned and rldlcued" the tribunal
at The Hague TO receive appreciatvely pro-
posal 10 summon another congress, though even
they might have increased their own credit by
thinking more justly of the man who, by his
own courage generosity and foresight" saved
that court from ruin.
Beyond that the fact Is that Europeans do
not always occupy point OF view coincident
with our own. They DO not always understand
the American temperament, and do not there
FORE appreciate American eamestness. Espe-
cially is this true IN international affairs. Mr..
w. X. Cremcr n member OF the Interparlia-
mentary Congress- put the matter In the right
light when he said the other day, referring 10
the Presidents reception Of that congress: Il
could not help make comparison between his
straightforward way Of meeting our proposal
'and the manner In which we have been met by
Statesmen abroad. There was no ambiguity
about his words. When we have spoken TO
those in authority i'm the Old World they have
expressed full sympathy with our purposes,
have stated that they sincerely desired to pro-
mote our work. but-there was always a but

"swer Of President Roosevelt His words were
'clear, distinct, manly and straight from the

That is, as we all know, an accurate descrip-
ton Of President RoOsevelt's way. It is also the
typical American way. Whenever It is so I'M
fortunate as to be compelled 70 fight, this coun-
try fights straight from the shoulder" When
ever. more happily and far more to its liking,
peace Is to be made or maintained, this country
is equally sincere and straightforward There
Is no "blnfiing" liz the one case, and there is no
cant in the other The President merely ex
pressed the national American desire for peace
and justice and with American misunderstood
ness and sincerity promised the taking of an
other step, and strong initiative toward MAX
ing general peace more lasting and secure.

in Nev-Iersey is not apparent to the average
wavfarer. It was timely and effective dozen
wears ago when Mr.. Blacks partisan friends
were footing the State treasury. Did he then
raise his voice in protest against the open ana
unblushinc reign of corruption and debauchery
in Trenton? Did he array himself with those
honest Democrats who protested against the

legislation in the State House which was carried
on so VIGOROUSLY during the first three years OF
the last decade? Did he align himself with the
champions Of popular government who brought

County?
Mr.. Black was appointed to the State Board
of Taxation by Governor Albeit. in whose In
terest the ballot boxes were stuffed, and, so far
as IS known, he never at any time said or did a
single thing to court or incur the disfavor of
the men vino were making merchandise OF the

Of the State treasury looting exposed by the

How can self-respecting Democrats who
rendered splendid service in hurting that gang
from power be so forgetful as TO stultify them
selves by voting for Charles C. Black?

ascertain something about the prospect which
the graduates or technical schools enjoy of Sc

profession promised to open great opportunities
OF usefulness and remuneration to bright and
well trained young men. Recently it has been
lntimated that the demand for such assistance
was much smaller than the supply If has
therefore been desirable TO obtain more light
on the present situation. and it is gratifying to
learn that Professor Norris regards the ont

in more rapid advancement than would be pos
