UNSETTLED CHINA.

The dispatches from China show that
ancient empire TO be divided gcograph-
ically into two adverse camps. The
north seems inclined to adhere TO the
Manchu dynasty; the south loathes
and utterly rejects it; the north holds
fast for a monarchy; the south is out
in full cry for n republic Under these
circumstances, there is a possibility of
the Chinese Empire falling into two
parts, the smaller north adhering to
the throne. and the greater south set
ting up a popular form OF government.
SO far as their local affairs are con
cerncd, the Chinese have always had
good deal of community freedom, and,
in fact, a sort of village commune, But
the supreme government bas always
been imperial, autocratic. Yuan Shi-
Kai, who is probably the most power
ful man in China today, is evidently
convinced that the transition from au
autocratic government TO republic is
too extreme to take at one leap. He
appears to be firmly attached to the
Manchu dynasty; and not only so, but
to the autocratc features of 1t. 1t
will be remembered that he was trust
cd by the reform Emperor of China,
and betrayed him into the hands Of the
Empress Dowagcr, who made short work
of that reform Emperor, 1t is only
little over n decade since this occurred;
but now China is out for reforms far
more radical than proposed by that re.
form Emperor, and far more radical
than could have been possible if his re.
forms had been allowed to stand.
An omiuous feature Of the situa-
ton is the growing pressure brought to
bear by the Christian nations upon
China. ostensibiy in the interest of
peace and order, but really as the Chi
nese have good reason TO suspect, from
selfish and sinister motives. However,
the provisions thus far divulged are
to be hoped that, under the leadership
Of the United States, the Christian
nations OF the world will give China
a chance to work out its own saliva
tion. Undoubtedly the stress Of the
Influence brought to bear by foreign
natious will be in the interest of
constitutional monarchy, patterned
somewhat upon that of Japan, as being
more suited TO the Chinese traditiouDs
aud habit Of thought than republic

BUSINESS AND TRADE,

The Christmas trade, which has now
come. 10 an end, proved fully up to eS'
pcctations, though the total amount of
business done is something less than
that Of the corresponding tlme last
year. Merchants report fully as many
persons shopping rs ever, and as many
sales, the chief delinquency being IN
the quality of the purchases. Jewellers,
furniture dealers, and sellers of br,c.a.
hrac felt the decrease most. The bank

a gain of twelve per cent over those OF
the corresponding week last year, so
that, on tho whole, the financial opera,

sale Of the week was that of the prem
