There is no doubt now that there is
■ar in China and that it is to be a
ar to the death of all foreigners.
United States cannot remain aloof
fro’m the work-of the powers in restor-
ing her authority in China.
It is China against the civilized
world and to date China has the whip
hand of all the others.
Russia and Japan are best placed for
putting troops into China and Japan
should be authorized to do it.
If Japan tatkles China‘this time she
must have a guarantee* that she will
not be pulled off too soon.
Tiie war in China is a war against
tile Christians and reconciliation be-
tween the two is impossible.
China is more united that the world
was willing to believe in her war
againut the foreign devils.
Some or these days the situation in
China may be understood but that
day has not come yet. That Is sure.
It will be some weeks yet before the
powers will have an army on Chinese
soil adequate to the situation.
Pekin is not to be reached with less
than an army of 100000 mem and
Tien Tain Will have to be abandoned.
Oawnpore will not lie iu it with Pe-
kin and the other Chinese cities for
the numbers massacred.
The Democratic ruction in New
York renders the election of McKinley
certain if it ever was in doubt.
Japan will find China a very dlffer-
■nt nation to whip from the one sae
cnoeked out so easily in the last
•ound.
BRYANISM DOOMED.
That Bryan was to be rhe head of
The DemocraUt ticket this compnigu
was foreshadowed by every action of
the Democracy for long months pre-
ceding the convention. Most adroitly
had he accomplished his work. i'be
disuMegrwilo'nH of the liemocrnllc par-
ty. the jealousies among her leaders
fin* lack of dominant leader the dis-
agree intents upon the policy to be set
forth in the platform all these coupled
with the discouragements that years
of ineffectual pollthxi! warfare had tn-
gendensl had prepared tin* way for a
man likr- Bryan to get in his wort.
IDs four yiurs preaching and declaim-
ing and posing as the great apostle
of reform and his quiet arrangements
with the loader* of Hu* national com-
mfutw had placed him Ivefore his party
to win hhnds down in the convention.
That fact was sn-u long months sine.*.
He had a cinch on the situation. But
now that Ute whole thing is over and
these four years of propagandism
have accomplished their work what
it the harvest likely to be? Look-
ing over liw convention and its work
anil spirit tncite is manifest at least
4wo things. First a strong ■ revolt
'against Bryanism on the part of same
of the ablest men in the party and
tliis seen in the acclaim that the con-
vention gave* to the very man whom
Bryan and his whlp|>yr-in had turned
tlown; second a disposition to give
Bryan all the roi«* he dealred. with oil
ly this interpretation. Hint he might
have enough wherewith to hang him-
self. This I.- the great fact that
shows bet wren the line’s of the cop
vention. as > was occasionally reveal
ed in the lights mid shadows of some
even’ta that precede it tojk* enough
to liang Bryan. No one for a mo-
ment supposes "that the strong men in
the Democratic patty really endorse
Bryan. No one places them so low
d< wn in tiie scale of |M>litlcal imellt
genre as to suppose that they do not
know that Bryanism is Inqiossibio.
Birt they are saddled With it in lite
pally anil must rid themselves of it
in order that tiie party may assert it-
sClf. Bryan is stronger than the par-
ty iu the convention because he has
iv*en four years making his pkree se-
cure as the candidate. Croker and
'those men see and know this and
therefor** they acquiesce apparently
with eagerness and enthusiasm really
with the confidence that this candi-
dacy of the great apostk* of himself
will end his politico! career. Repub-
licanism is destined to triumph this
Novemlier. Tiie whole mind of tbe
nation sees this. WlMit use ’to fight
wirhin the party for a candidate who
could poll the strength of the party
when such a tight could not avail?
Surely none. Then the next best
thing would be to kill Bryanism and
let the party assert itself four years
hence. Thia is what is Ixeing done.
Tammany supports Bryan knowing
that liis candidacy will lose. «New
York but in losing the state the city
may be retainm. and this is all that
Tammany can hope for now. Upon
this the country and the Democrat c
party can alike be congratulated. The
dtUTh of Bryanism is decreed.
The awful uncertainty that has lin-
gered around the fate of the foreign-
ers iu Pekin gives place to despair of
their safety.
It looks now as if the murder of the
German ambassador was only the
prelude to that of all the rest.
Kansas City is a good-sized country
town but it cannot run a Democratic
conventnon on the Fourth of July.
Hill will hardly bo able to stem the
united hostility of Brynn and Croker
n running the Democracy.
Roosevelt has had an immense re-
ception all through the West He is
surely tiie man whom the people hon-
There seems little doubt that all the
foreigners in Pekiu numbering not lees
than a thousand are dead.
. Horrible cruelties mark the war in
China on the part of tiie natives and
tiie Russian troops retaliate.
Chinese are leaving Germany quietly
and those showing themselves on th#
(streets have been stoned.
Members of the Chinese legation in
Berlin have received police warning
not to appear upon the street
United States may follow the lead
of Germany and expel the heathen
"Chinee” out ot all her borders.
There never will be a more propitu-
ous time for getting rid of the Chi-
nese in America than this present mo-
ment
It makes an American hot to note
how the Chinese were allowed to run
the health department in ’Frisco.
United States will join the powers
in any demands upon China short of
the division of the empire.
Imperialism so-called is the wedge
that is splitting the Silver Republi-
cans for the West favors expansion.
It has been hot in Texas but the
suffering from the heat has not yet
been os great as in Chicago and the
North.
Croker would sooner the Democrats
should continue out of office In ttie na-
tion than that Tammany should lose
control of the city of New York and
this is all there Is about It.
Webster Davis has sold his Republi-
can birth-right for a mess of Bryan
pottage on the condition that the nicss
is served on a Boer platter with Oom
Paul sauce.
The state Socialists of Texas have
actually met In state convention and
put out a state ticket. They have
more courage than the Republicans of
the state evince.
The partition of Chinn into nor.h
and south districts nr empires is fore-
shadowed in diplomatic correspon-
dence.
It is entirely too soon in the morning
of this Chinese trouble to talk of the
final disposition.

KEEP YOUR RLOOD GLEAN
That 16 to 1 has been the death of
the Democracy in the past threatens
ii now and will be its instrument of
torture as long as the Democrats
nurse it into life.
Tiie exteut to which China has been
arming herself of late is now appar-
eut and it strikes Europe aghast.
Even Li-Huug-Chang is suspected
now of being in the pint to drtv* every
foreigner from the soil of China.
Tiie arsenals of China are filled with
ammunition and the latest war mater-
ial iuelfiding the best arms.
War is to be and not less than hh
army of half a million will be require
ed in north China. If south China
witli her strong provinces joins the
row when will rhe end be?
'The American youth who are Inin
giving and thirsting for a hand in Chi
na ore likely to lie aevommodated.
This nineteenth century seems likely
to go out in a blaze of something more
than Chinese fire-crackers.
The war with Spain and tiie South
African war are not in it for magni-
tude with that which looms up in Chi-
na.
It seems to be growing more and
more apparent that the impotency of
the powers in China demand that the
settlement of affairs there Im* put into
the ’hands of some one nation.
Europe and the United States would
sooner give the matter of settling
with China into the Iwinds of Japan
than entrust them to any of the pow-
ers interested in tfmt settlement.
The powers will demand territorial
recompense for what they have suffer-
ed through treacliery of China and the
United States is opposed to all dis-
memberment of that country.
What the outcome will be as to Chi-
na when the war so certain to comm
te ended is likely to strain Che friendly
relations that will subsist between the
allies in that war.
Inhere is nothing in the outcome of
that convention in Kansas City to
to clinch the election of Bryan and
the Republicans of the country have
a straight race before them.
rhait Kansas convention deinonstrn-
:ed that the Democracy have no poll-
•y and that they will accept anything
n the way of a platform that promis-
•s to make a vote for their candidate.
The party of uncertainty is what
tiie Kansas City convention has dem-
onstrated the Democratic party to be
in this campaign and that is not tbe
party to carry tlu* country this year.
It is not Bryan's fault that the Kan-
sas City convention was so weak in
policy and so deficient in the grit ne-
cOssary to declare its real sentiments.
It had to ’hedge.
Oompare the willy-nilly platform
that was adopted at Kansas City with
the document put out nt Philadelphia
and rake your choice. Bryan is nil
things to all voters.
The differences in tiie Democra'lc
camp as to expansion were kept as
carefully smothered as possible but
they could not be wholly concealed
and in committee they were rampant.
The credentials committee that sat
at Kansas City had tiie merit ot dis-
patching business quickly. The rule
was to give each contestant half
swear him and let him go and it was
so done.
Tiie Clerk barrel iu Montana was too
large to be served on the halt shell
plan at Kansas City and that contest
was decided in favor of the man whom
the United States senate discarded.
Republicans in New York are jubil-
ant at the renewal and Increased in-
tensity of the fight between the Dem-
ocracy of the state and Tammany. It
insures Republican victory in state
and national affairs.
Roosevelt is of the same opinion
that thousands are that war will have
to be declared against China.
Democratic convention and Fourth
of July are alike over. It will be
years before the double dose will be
again offered to an afflicted country.
Germany has set her foot In Shan
Tung and it is there Hint the great
trouble with China has its head.
While all eyes are on China the Brit-
ish are slowly and surely surrounding
the Boers In South Africa.
As 136 bodies have been recovered
from the North rivec and there are
120 missing it is evident that die cas-
ualities from tbe Hoboken ctock tire
must have been largely exceeding two
hundred.
As far as anything can be ascertain-
ed it would seem as if the viceroys
of the south China provinces are op-
posing the actions of the boxers and
Prince Tuan in Slian Tung.
THE HAQUE REPUDIATED.
There is but one theme in tbe
mouths of the Americans and tiie Eu-
ropeans today. The massacre of the
diplomatic representatives of tiie civ-
ilized world at the capital of one of
tbe great nations. When before has
such a condition confronted the powers
of Europe end the United States. Only
a few months ago and ail the civilized
world assembled at the Hague In the
interast of universal peace and since
that astonishing gathering closed its
sittings there has been a war between
the United States and Spain resulting
in Spain losing all her American isl-
ands and her possessions in the far POr
cltlc while United States falls heir to
nil these. The insurrection .n the Phil-
ippines .incident in a measure to this
war witli S|min fa not suppressed be-
fore tiie tocsin sounds in South Africa
and Great Britain is forced to send an
army of n quarter of a million Into
that country to meet the forces of the
South African republics which have
declared war against her. While the
battle there is raging out on the gold
coast come the forces of Ashanti to
drive the British out of that section
and with all this pending the civil-
ized world fa met -with the startling
announcement that the German am-
bosandor at the court of China Is mur-
dered in cold blood and that the forces
of thnl emplre.without a note of warn-
ing have turned their guns on the le-
gations of all the powers America in-
cluded. and that it is doubtful if a sin-
gle foreigner iu the great capital of
China is left alive to tell the tale. Ver-
ily. the war drum has trobbed an in-
dignant protest to mat peaceable gath-
ering at the Hague. What the century
may yet see in the short months to
elapse I efore it goes out in the smoke
of battle and the baptfam of blood who
may tell ? Surely these be stirring
times and great wisdom fa needed in
the minds of those who sit in the chief
seats of government and in the coun-
cil chambers of the nations. United
States is to be congratulated in tills
crisis that she has so conservative and
wise a President ns William McKin-
ley nt the head of her affairs. life re-
elect.on is necessary to the safety of
tiie nation in these perilous times.
Democratic conventions may come
and Democratic conventions may go
but that revolution in Colombia Is go-
ing on for ever. Nothing specially
alarming but it goes on all the same.
When the United States builds that
canal across the isthmus or anywhere
down there it will be a moans of
grace in stopping revolutions in the
Central American republics.
The eye of the shippers and states-
men of the nation are upon that pro-
posed isthmian route in which it is
said there will be no locks to contend
with. That fe sine qua non.
The Fourth of July was celebrated
in Puris as never before. The Ameri-
cans wire there to do it iu style.
There will be no end of assertion by
word of mouth of political this cam-
paign to be denied by word or act
the heated term of discussion is
ripe.
There Is no pre-emption that the
Democrats can make on the immortal
Fourth of July. That was the day on
which the colonis expanded into a na-
tion. No Democracy in that.
The great body of tiie American peo-
ple are opposed to tiie attempt to
Christianize China against her will.
There is nothing of the Nazarine in
that business.
There was a great stress laid in the
speeches before contention In Kansas
City on recovering the offices. This fa
always the first care in a Ditnocratlc
political assembly.
Texas is so certainly Democratic that
it is foolish for her to squander her
time and attention over politics. Let
her pitch iuto industries and cotton
mills and such.
It may pay to cultivate politics in a
doubtful state but the cultivation of
the rich soil ot the great state of Tex-
as is the thing for her people just at
this present time.
The Republican party is so certain
to win out in the fall election that it
might be as well to accept the thing
ns settled and turn our attention to
develcplng our national resources.
The situation in China is destined to
divide the interest of the people in this
country with the elections that are to
be held this coming November. Both
are going to be hot.
There are those who dread the in-
fluence of Vice-ITesident-to-be Roose-
in the event of tiie war in China as-
suming proportions that will drag all
Europe Into it. No danger in the
world. Roosevelt is not in favor of the
dismemberment of Chinn and would
only stand for such substantial dam-
ages as would in some measure at
least reimburse this nation for all that
she has suffered at the hands of Chinn.
As eighty-five per cent of the arable
lands of flic South are yet uncultivat-
ed and about the same proportion ot
its mineral lands undeveloped there
is a field for operation here that ought
to attract alike the prospector and
the promoter. The wealth that lies
untouched all over this vast region Is
calling loudly for some capital some
brains some hard hands to rescue it
from its oblivion and give it a place in
the sum total of the wealth of the na-
tion. Not counting rice wool cattle
horses sheep mules goats hides
fruits vegetables lead zine marble
granites oils turpentine lime .asphalt
cement clays and the manufactured
products from this wealth of crude
material the present value of produc-
tion are placed at about a billion dol-
lars annually. If this is the output
on 15 per cent of the lands with so
much in the way of production ot
tabulated what would the sum total
be if all the products were Included
and the whole area of agricultural
and mlateral land occupied and under
development? A very little considera-
tion will show what vast possibilities
still lie before the South which is
just coming into her Inheritance of
development. Her future is such as
to encourage the brightest hopes.
