BOYD IwwMwww MARKDALE mm^nmm site Is published every Thursday at $1.00 per if paid in advance, $1.6o if not so paid anuni The Emperor of Cbiu a died on Saturday last, followed on Sunday by the Empreas-do wager. Many rumors are afloat in diplomatic circles tbat the death of these rulers was from other than natural causes. Be that as it may, Ghina finds herself in a peculiar situation. Prince Pu Yi, a child 8 years of age, son of Prince Chun ascends to the throne. The whole fature rulerbhipofChina is vague and indefinite, there are so many different persons who can be counted on to do the improper thing and to probably precipate trouble. The Empress- dowager has been the real head of the government since 1861 and with- out protest since 1881. Hegardiug her the Toronto Globe says: i:>oe was a law unto heraelf. She violated the ctistitutioii of the dynasty, which forbids a wonmi. ruler, and br >ke the sacred cualums ijiveti by the sages. Stilt becauie the mother of an Empenir, and her jiolitical Cireer bet^an with tne wholesale beheading of Princoa in 1861, by which she eaialilisliod her son on the throne. A slaughter of reformers and others took place tliirty-sevon years later, following the coup d'etat in 1808. Two yeara after tliis.upon advice shedeliherate- ly .set about slaughtering all Christians •nd forfi|{neia. ahe was regarded by the profjrBSsives educated abroad, as China's Kreatest enemy, because »ho was the greatest obstacle to advancement. She iiianagua the eiupire without modern adviwors, and a* far as the rep'>se of her people went managed it well, for she put down three rebellions. It has been said of her that she Was a more able ruler than any man »hoe?ur aat upon tnodragon throne. 'The future of China will be watch- ed with interest by all the civilized poweri. For centuries she has been •hut out, at her own will, from the the rest of the world. 8lio has always regarded the foreigner and his wilet with a suspicious, if not hostile «je, though <kt times her hostility has been more marked than at others. The past few years have noted a alight stir in Gbiua's attitude to the foreigner and it seemed as though free inter course might yet be had between it and other counties. Then cnmes the death of the rulers of this vast people, and lime alone can tell whether, tor- toise like (lie country wil^ again draw' itself into its chell, or whether it will «ome oat and join the rest of he world io a bustle of industry and com- msroa.
