great cities, carry your closely contested
elections and it is the fact of their abil-
ity to do this kind of work that renders
such scenes as that of Tuesday last pos
sible. If Christian had been treated
that way in Pekin or Foo Chow, what
howl Of virtlous indignation would have
gone up-what redress would have

with its 5O,OOOOOO of inhabitants, there
will not be one who will not drop a teai
C over the untimely fate of one who will
J. stand on the page of history as among
the bravcst, purest, truest, noblcst OF
men that ever lived within the tide o.
