Peking.-Two imperial edicts were
issued by the throne granting the

which mobiles will be excluded; that
political offenders connected with all
revolutions since that OF 1898 shall be
pardoned and apologizing for the past
neglect of the throne.
The imperial edict, which is from
the hand of the emperor. Hsuan-Tung,
says:
Il have reigned three years and
have always acted conscientiously in
the interests of the people. But
have not employed men properly, as
am without political skill | have en-
ployed too many mobiles in POLITICAL po-
sitions. which contravenes constitu-
tionalism
When | urge reform, officials and
the gentry seize the opportunity to
embezzle. Much of the peoples money
has been taken, but nothing to benefit
the people has been achieved
ION several occasions edicts have
promulgated laws, but none of them
has been obeyed. The people are
grumbling, yet | do not know. Disas-
tiers loom ahead, but | do not see
After referring to uprisings in vari-
Gus places, the edict continues:
"All these things are my own fault,
and | hereby announce to the world
that | swear to reform, and, with our
soldiers and people, to carry out the
constitution faithfully, modifying legis-
lation, promoting the interests Of the
people and abolishing their hardships,
all in accordance with their wishes
and interests.

is that my subjects will thoroughly un-

dent of the assembly, is permitted to
resign, the Chinese L:-Cnia-Chu sue
ceeding him. The Manchu Kuei-Chun,
minister of constabulary. has been re-
moved and the Chinese Chao Ping

Strong attachments of troops guard
the palace and the gates OF the city.
but it cannot be said that Picking is
yet safe from attack.
The imperial edict has been widely
discussed and it is generally believed
it was issued in order to provide Yuan

negotiations with the rebels. It's effect

Modison-Persons who attempt
TO block public movements, through
tho publication of articles in newspa-

verely hit by an address delivered at
tbe closing banquet of the conference
on civic centers in this city by Col.
George w. Bird.
.oTbere are four classes OF people,
s,;d Col Bird. ''who are always
ready with advice when they shoulo
not be. There is first that noary
gentleman, Richard Roe, who on eV-
erv conceivable occasion gives
eratuitous advice to the people
in his letters to the editor.
Strangely, though, he is always
afraid of having his identity known.
Then there is that other venerable
man. John Doe, who is opposed to
having the streets paved, the sewage
carried away or any of the other
things done which most people be-
lieye ought to be. VoX Popul1 is al
ways weary of new inovatlons. He
is much in favor of having every
thing go on in the old way. And
last, gray and bent, but with ever
ready pen, that hoariest and most
venerable man, Pro Bono Publico.
"These four men are the essence
of all conservatism. They are always
in waiting to throw wet blanket on
every new movement. There are no
such things as improvements to
them. They believe that the old way
is always the best way, although
that is none too good.
eff these men ever had any intu-
ence, it should be taken from them.
The opinion of any man who appears
under a disguised name in a news
paper is not worth much. The names
which they assume are libels upon
the people"
