THE CHINESE QUESTION.
(Ufitge Daily Times.) We regard the panic which has suddenly seized on Australians as to a great extent unreasonable, and believe that its extension to New Zealand has as yet no justification in anything which has happened within this Colony. We are glad to observe by latest telegrams that some compromise is likely to be effected in Sydney, which will put an end to the strike that has caused such a serious stoppage of steam traillc on the coast, but the bitter feeling which has been aroused between the two races will not easily be allayed. The Press is to some extent responsible for fomenting this feeling, and we are not disposed to follow the example of many of our contemporaries in this respect. There is something repugnant to British notions of fair play in the abuse which has lately been heaped upon men that have little or no opportunity of replying or defending themselves.
