eeping an
opium den."

The shadow deepens when the question rises, "What can be done for this
boy?" He is in the grip of an "_Imperium in imperio_," to which some years
ago I had occasion to refer in these columns. Even Americans who know the
facts and are eager to help him, feel as though it would be scarcely safe
for them to rescue him. Our wisest Chinese helpers say: "Wait, watch over
him, but don't disturb existing relations. It would break up our mission
in that place. Chinese would not dare to be identified with it. The boy
will soon come to understand his rights and will assert them for himself,
and then you can help him." But it almost makes one's blood boil to think
that on American soil such counsel can be given and perhaps ought to be
observed.
