THE CITIZEN Autumnal Dreams. ; When the maple turns to crimson And the sassafras to gold; When the gentian's in the meadow And the asters on the wold; When the moon is lapped in vapor, And the night is frosty cold; When the che«tnut burrs are opened And the acorns drop like hail. And the drowsy air is startled With the thumping of the flail— With the drumming of the partridge And the whistle of the quail. Through the rustling woods I wander, Through the jewels of the year. From the yellow uplands calling. Seeking her that still is dear; She is near me in the autumn, She, the beautiful, is near. —Bayard Taylor The War in Asia. The conflict between China and Japan is one of the most interesting international events that the world has witnessed. It has been said over and over again since the Japanese victories at Ping-Yang and the Yalu River that a now power has sprung up in the East. That is true, and Lord Kimberley, on behalf of Great Britain, is the first European statesman to recognize the new power by making a treaty with it in which Japau is consider ed as on an equal footing with the I nited Kingdom, no longer to be dealt with as a weak barbarian, but as a civilived state, whose armed prowess has made her re spec'.eil. It is also interes ting that an Asiatic people should at last have entered what is known in the lauguage of diplom acy as the "family of nations." Bat be yond Japan lies Asia, and domiuating it China, *ith its 300,000,000 people, barbar ous, gentle because fearlul of European power and European determination to use its power to suppress the * hinese, impo ent in war. but, in view of what Japan has accomplished, presenting a problem übich is exciting great interest in Europe, and especially in Great Britain. Europe hopes that Japan will be defeat ed in this war. The victories already won by her »ell armed, disciplined, aud ably administered army and navy bav griev ously disappointed English statesmen and journalists, and have caused a certain amount of fear-inspired foreboding and speculation. It is true that the Japanese were greatly aided by the infantile military and naval methods of the Chinese. Never theless, moderan arms and discipline and modern army administration have been adopted and successfully handled and car ried out by an Asiatic people, and Eng land is syeculating as to the grand result if Japan still continues to triumph a i she has begun. Thd immediate consequences to the two nations engaged in the conflict are of little importance compared with what may hap pen to the relations between Asia aud Europe. China may be divided. The Manchooriaij Emperor may be driven out of Peking. There may be another such slaughter as that of the Taeping massacre, in which it is stated that 30,000,000 people died. It may be that the Jananese are the baibarians that some ol the English papers are asserting them to be, and that when Europeans are left to the mercy of their laws and their administration of justice Lord Kimberley's treaty will caise a good deal of sadness in English homes, and even the Liberals will admit that his di plomacy was precipitous. liut the great subject of speculation is not as to what Japan will do with conquer ed China, or what Russia will loose or gain tn the Pacific, or how far its ambi tions projects in southwestern Asia may be promoted or retarded by a Japanese tri umph, but as to what will become of Euro pean influence in Asia.
