Where Power Resides In Chi;a.
london Sp c.ntor


We are often asked where, in the
great empire OF China, power really re-
sides, AZ d we believe the best shor,
statement is this: Subject to certain
immovab.e customs, the emperor, in his
cara' itv of father of the people. can in
theory give any order and can in prac.
tice punish with decapita.ion CT exile
any official or person who Il sob.ys it.
He Is, iii all serious a"a;rs. however,
obliged to consult, thoug h not to obcv,
a rather large group of princes of his
dynasty and great mandarins, who di.
vide the departments and the great
viceroyaties among themselves. The
dynasty. moreover, being foreign, is
compelled to respect the army to some
extent; while this army is. for financial
reasons. 50 limited in numbers that it i,
difficult TO Carr son the empire. and i'm
possible to hold it down for an hour.
1t is the tradition of the court, there.
fore, never serions,y to o Tend either
the army or the people in such a way
as to provoke emeutes, more especially
in Pekin.
At present tie emperor is Il hoy. only
Just II years of age. and all real ,thor-
ity belongs to the widow of the Ia t full
grown emperor. Hen Flung is
called the empress mother of the en-
peror Prince hung. Iii Hung Chang,
the favorite of the native Chinese, and
two or three less known high officials.
They can send cut any orders they
please, and are obayed, but they can not
afford to risk the instructions that
would follow any great affront to the
pride of the people, such as the cession
of Ton luin would he. China, in fact
is more solid Turkey. with sultan,
pashas, army, and a mob sharing power
in unequal degrees. AS in Turkey, too,
all four are bound in the chain of law
which can not be modified.

ALL FOR JOSEPH.

Gentlemen and fellow citizens:
| wish to express my sentiments to
my friends of the Democratic party
concerning the honor conferred up
on as by the visit of the Hon. Antho.
ny Joseph. 1t will be remembered
that our county of Lincoln has been
organized since 1868 and this is the
first time that a candidate of any
party for Delegate to Congress has
honored us with a visit. And now |
wish to recommend that all friends
of good government put forth every
effort to secure his triumphant cleo
ton at the polls. Also urge that
we do the same for our worthy can
didate for sheriff, nominated on the
9th of September, and who has
already served us so faithfully and
well--John w. Poe.
Respectfully Subscribed,
JOSE MONTANA.

The Indians are roaming oT their

much right to be off their reservation
as the soldiers. They say the sol

to.
The Prohibitionist and Butler sup

Ben has threatened, if elected, to

say they won't have their children
frightened to death.
Everything quiet here since tie
convention fever has subsidized and
each party are lauding their candi-
dates. My observations have led
me to believe that in any country
where the people fight a combina-
tion or party, the people usually
get left. We have an idea there
will be very few people in the county
on election day.
Another of those excellent cotil-
lion parties, for which Ruidoso is
famous, was given on Friday night,
at Dowlin's Mills, by Mr.. Frank Les

noticed Johnny Riley and wife, of
Las Cruces, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Lesnet and other married parties.
The young ladies who did the oc-
casion honor were the Misses Ettie
