CHINESE AND TARTAR- The reforms attempted by the young Emperor of China. a few months ago, and which where so promptly checked by the Empress Dowuger, though they attracted com- paratively little attention in the out- side world were of momentous import to the vast population of the gre ~t eastern Empire. It is to be observed that the present dynasty represents the Manclioo-Tartar conquest of 450 years ago. Ls in the case of the Xornian conquest of England the two races remain largely distinct, with the Msnchoo element altogether predominant in oilicial and governing circles. The Manchoo element was for a. long time looked up to by the Chinese as superior to themselves in military prowess and capacity to govern. but under the system of com- petitive examinations wliich prevails in the civil service of China. a. con- (M _c C... ..,.c_.G _.c.,c-,_.__.c_ T.
