number of actual parents are far away in China, have entirely lost
sight of the child, and are far too poor to seek a remedy in Hong
Kong. They would have a remedy, if they were present and knew it,
but they do not know that there is a remedy. They had their remedy
from the first in China proper. Well, a remedy in the Mandarin
Court, where the longest purse prevails, and into which a poor man
seldom dares to enter a complaint."
"Lastly, it is said that the lot of these children is far happier
than if they had been left to their ordinary fate. So say these
Chinese gentlemen; so said the noble and wealthy, the much

cords of necessity; for there must be different degrees, all men wishing to
rule, and not all being able to do so, but some being able.
Let us, then, imagine we see society in the process of formation. Men will

party is established. But when this is once determined, the masters, who do
not desire the continuation of strife, then decree that the power which is
in their hands shall be transmitted as they please. Some place it in
election by the people, others in hereditary succession, etc.
And this is the point where imagination begins to play its part. Till now
power makes fact; now power is s
