But now our mouths are shut. We j are estopped from saying a word against English oppression. We have gone into the wretched business ourselves. We are willing to com mit “criminal aggression” in order to bring about “benevolent assimila tion” of populations who do not wish to be assimilated. With all the ve hemence of recreant Peter and all the rancor of the renegade, we have denied our own “Declaration of inde pendence” and spat upon our own Constitution. Though we see “our plain duty” we deliberately refuse to do it. We fought the revolutionary war to prevent England from treat ing us as commercial serfs to ho ex ploited for her own advantage, yet we are now treating Puerto Rico in precisely the same way. Not for centuries has there been such abject surrender of great prin ciples, such treason to high ideals, such bartering of freedom for pelf. No, evidently we cannot say a word against England’s rapacity. The words would stick in our throats. But Russia, perhaps, may speak, and if she does, the world will listen, for her words will be voiced in tones of thunder. •NOTES AND COM ME NTS. honor, for during the whole session of the convention hu displayed the meek and gt title spirit of the master whom he serves, and like Enoch of old is walking with God.

TXie Missionaries Are Doing All They Can to Aid ami 1'rotect the Native Christians. The Opium Trade on the Decline uud u Decrease in Its Consumption. [North China Dally News.] Our correspondents in the lorth have written at considerable length of the dangerous expansion of the I Ho Ch'uan or “Righteous Harmo ny Eists,” more popularly known us the “Boxers,” and the evidence us to the existence in this body of a seri ous danger to all foreigners continues to accumulate. A great part of the evidence comes from missionaries who have been many years in north western .Shantung ami Chihli, who know the Chinese character through ly, und who are not alarmists; utid they are agreed that the movement, which bus undoubtedly been secretly fostered by the Government, was at first auti-Catholic, then anti-Chris tian, und now goes deeper, and is generally anti-foreign. It is known that the Peking Government spoke of the Boxers as “patriots,” and regards them as u sort of militia to prevent the encroachment of the Germans in SI. antung.und to support the Macchus at Peking. Their wild intention is to assist General Tung Fu-hsiang in his expressed determination to drive all foreigners out of North China. Mean while, as we learn on the best au thority, the situation is hopeless, un less there is united and determined pressure from the Foreign Ministers, and of the existence of this we shall hear with deep satisfaction. The missionaries are doing all they can with their slender means to aid and protect the native Christians who come to the ;thetn w orld woud shudder if it heard the hardships and outrages these poor people have been made to suffer, in the depth of winter, because they have been faithful to their re ligious professions. The Roman Catholic Bishop at Chinaufu reports that he lias five thousand refugees in liis care alone, which will give some idea of the havoc that has been wrought. The officials, we are told, will doubtless, under pressure, pay claims for lost or damaged property, and in fact the London Mission already reports that in one district the magistrate has paid claims to the amount of Tls. 2 400. But the mere payment of claims without punish ment of the culprits dees more harm than good; it means in a country like China that the magistrate has been forced to pay some moce. - , but that at heart the Government approves wiiut the Boxers have done and are doing. This is proved to the Chinese by the high favour shown to the two Governors who have been removed on the demand of ‘’'oreign Bowers, Li Ping-heng andTuHsien. The American missionaries at Pangchuung have presented formal charges against officials in connection with the I Ho Ch’uan rebellion, which we condense as follows: 1— Against H E. Yu iisien, late (Joveruor of Shantung That knowing the existence of the I Ho Ch’uan in his province, on a large and threatening scale, a society wholly contrary to the Imperial laws, he took on steps to suppress rt. A’hen a light took place in October last between provincial troops and the Boxers, the Goyenor was very angry at a hundred of the latter being kilied, and he procured the degrada tion of the prefect and magistrate of Pingyuun. und dismissed the military commander, because they endeavour ed to check the rebellion. He released the prisoners taken in this fight, and his uttnude was the direct cause of the murder of Mr. Brooks. In a secret memorial to the throne he advocated the use of the Boxers as an agency for driving foreigners out of the province. 2— Against Chi Taotai, lutendant of Circuit of Western Shansuug: This official, after receiving explicit orders to put down the rebellion by force, has refused to allow his troops to fight, although the American Le gation at Peking was informed that the orders were sent him. For months together he has been in the immediate presence of the Boxers, and has done nothing effective against them. B—Against Cheng 8ze, magistrate of Pingyuan County: This magistrate has consistently disregarded orders to investigate the looting of Christian villages and to arrest the leaders of the Boxers; he has done nothing to stop the enrolling and drilling of recruits for the Boxers, has encouraged the headmen of the villages to falsely deny that there were any Boxers in their neighbor hood. and has generally done every thing in b'A power to assist the re bels. Similar charges are made against other officials, and can, of course, be substantiated. Instead of coercing the Boxers these officials have pro pitiated them by offerings of food and money, and in some cases have care fully refrained fr< m interfering until after the Boxers uud done their work on the property of Christians. Unless the Bowers act promptly uud effec tively, there is little doubt that this spring the missionaries will he forcid to evacuate a large part of Shantung. It bus snffend from an extreme drought Just, summer Hiid autumn, uuu the autumn crops were a failure. The farmers, the buck hone of the Chinese nation, being without food or emplo} incut, have been easily Stduced into the rebel ranks. The gravity of the situation is in the complicity ot the Governiuet with this antiforeigu movement. \\ hut is the use, under such circumstances, of the Anglo iSaxon nations trying to preserve the integrity of China? The Government should understand that the United Ktules will soon have a large naval foiC ’ in these waters, and they will not allow the trouble in the Philip pines to lie their buds us ours set-in to he tied by the war in South A frica, i Not only has the opium trade been ' on the decline here, but there is also, I so far as one con see, a decrease in ! the consumption of the article. This is true not merely w ith reference to foreign, or Indian opium, but it seems to be the case also with the native trade. The reason for this is not so apparent. It is true, us it has been all along, that, there is not as much opium smoked by those who have plenty of work to occupy their time, as merchants and farmers, for example, as there is by yameu run ners, innkeepers, etc., on whose hands time hangs heavily. But this would scarcely account for the gen eral decrease in consumption and trade. Whatever the reasons may be, every love of China cannot but rejoice in the fact, if indeed it be a fact. The decrease in the production of native opium is explained in dif ferent ways. One reason assigned is that its growth to the north of us has been interdicted by the officials on account of the famine, more or less severe for the last few years. Another reason is that the po[ py plant so exhausts the soil that after the pro duction of two or three crops it fails I to produce, and as the farms are very . small, the farmer’s land limit is very soon reached and he cun do nothing hut stop. Intelligent natives are concerned to ascertain why the cannon at the forts are taken down to the riverside and shipped elsewhere, they know not to what pointer for what reason. In fact, it is an interesting question on which we too would like to have a little information. There is a feeling of unrest and of most decided dissitis- faction in the present management of affairs at Peking. Those mysteriously “brief” imperial robes ttiui are being ordered at Nanking excite a not very pleasant curiosity. But as usual, the mass of the peo ple seem to cure little who rules them, or whether anyone at all, just so they have something to eat and wear. AKhury iteiua. (Corri’spondenc© of The Ledger.)

The introduction of rilled anus alter ed all tills (barrack drill), hut it look some time to bring about the required chaugc in the soldiers’ training. Oill- oers who had licen brought up In the old school clung to drill—constant drill —as the only iu<ans by which a soldier could he made efficient. They failed to appreciate the power of the rifle, nor could they understand the necessity for more time being spent on the range to admit of their men being taught to make “bull’s eyes” with tolerable cer tainty at a distance of half a mile or more. I must not he mistaken about drill. Drill is an essential part of discipline. It makes the soldier understand how to obey the word of command, hut there is tills difference between the drill of tfie past and the present. Formerly the Idea was to make the men act in a compact body under the immediate command of the commanding officer, and musketry was looked-upon merely as a minor sort of adjunct. Nowadays to keep a regiment In close formation ! once the zone of lire Is entered would j be to court disaster. Men are taught ' to fight in loose order and to depend j in a great degree on their own selves, and In all this the prime mover is musketry.—Lord Roberts.

"Probably not one in a thousand citizens recognized in the recent sale of the house at (J3 Brinec street the old residence of President Monroe when he retired from the White House after his eight years of service ns pres ident. He died there on July 4, 1831. “Tiie house Is just a block east of Broadway and looks much the same as It did when It was the residence of President Mouroe, only more dilapidat ed. One still sees the colonial columns and tinted arch over the doorway, look ing now liko soiled hits of east off fin ery. Part of the house Is the head quarters of a furrier, und I am told that a few years ago It was a billiard table factory and later a Viennese and then a Hungarian restaurant.
