CHjN1,!S TWO COURSES.

China not Turkey, is the principal subject OF
concern at the present moment to the Govern
ments of Europe; and the serious difficulties
which have lately arisen in the Flowery King
dom are matters to which we too cannot renfain
Indifferent For the United States, Great brit
ain and France are the three nations which
furnish the larger part Of the men and the sup
plies for that earnest and energetic army of mis-
Sionaries whose operations constitute the true
reason for the present outbreak of hostility
against foreigners in China. 0utrages are per-
petrated almost every day against the members
and property of the foreign missions and not
withstanding that the Pekin Government is
bound by its treaties to afford adequate protec-
tion to both, yet it is manfestly either unable
or unwilling to fulfil its obligations. Indeed,
the foreign diplomatic ENJOYS accredited to the
Dragon Throne have not found it possible TO
secnre the punishment or even the Imperial
censure of those who have connived at the
bloo1thirsty attacks upon foreigners in general
and missionaries in particular.
Far from being awed by the naval demonstra-
ton now being organized on the coast by the
Western Powers, the Chinese of every class,
from the highest mandarins down TO the most
humble coolies, are clamoring for the withdrawal
of the missionaries or, at any rate, for radical
modification of the privileges now accorded to
them under the foreign treaties ana the I'M
peral Government at Pekin, which is both I'M
popular and weak, is far more likely to submit
to native sentiment in this matter than to for
eign demands. Should it give way to the lat
ter the people would accuse it of sacrificing the
interests, the dignity and the honor of the En-
pire to the foreign devils" and popular in
surrecton far more serious and wide reaching
than the great Taeping Rebellion might ensue,
its object being to overthrow the present dynas-
ty. If, on the other hand, the Emperor pre-
sents bold front to the foreign demands, and
declines to accord satisfaction, it Is probable
that he will find the whole country at his back,
and that the first shot fired from foreign gun
boat in the missionary cause will serve, not to
destroy, but 10 fortify his now tottering throne.
China is too vast and too populous an Empire
to feel the havoc Of war % it is felt by Western

taken into consideration, but t seemed TO US tnet
her great enterprise would be equal TO IT, we
hoped that we were not asking too much oil tne
short two years before the Fair opened. bu1
thus are we rebuled gentleman living In this
city has lust returned from weeks stay IN chi
caao and tells us that the great change from
boxes to bags is made even now-that to-day every
buggy" horse in Chicago eats his dinner OUT OF
nose-bag Two years fOrsooth !-Chicago needeu
but three weeks!
We can say in all sincerity that we are glad
to hear of the change, even If 1t is somewhat
humilatng TO know that we so underestlmated
Chicago's ability. To Chicago must now be ac-
corded metropolitan rank. with London Paris ana
New-Yorl1
We can At least claim much credit for the change,
though we must share it with Chicago's enter
prisnr newspapers, as nearly every one Of them
renrintod our article in whole in part, with
various comments. There can be no mistake that
the change is really accomplished, for the gentle
man who is our authority made careful eXamina-
tion and took notes on the spot. One Day IN
Statest. between South Water and Twelfth sts.'
he counted 264 one-horse buggies standing by the
curb Two hundred and fourteen OF the horseS
were eating their dinners out of new nose-Dags'
while the other fifty were not eating at all. An
other day in the short block in La Salle-st', De-
tween Adams and Quincy ss., he saw seventeen
horses anchored with weights at the edge OF the
sidewalk Fifteen of these wore nose-bags, the
other two not yet having been fed. In the court
of the City and County Building he found twenty
nine buggies, the horse in every case having MS
nose in q new bag. Altogether, be made note OF
over two thousand horses attached to buggies In
front of business and office buildings, over 60 per
cent of which were wearing nose-bags. and not
one of which was eating from any kind of box.
He saw four horses eating from the cast-on silk
hats of their owners, but these were fastened OIL
in the same way as nose-bags and answered tne
same purpose He saw several soap-ooXes wilch
had formerly been used for feeding purposes scat
tered about and there were still few oats on the
sidewalks; but these will soon pass away before
the march of progress.
We congratulate Chicago on her victory over
box-feeding We are proud Of having been the
humble means of bringing it about. To the people
who intend to visit the Worlds Fair and who
were making arrangements to wear top-boots we
would say: Retain your sales.--future are no more
moist oats on the Chicago sidewalks to get into

Additional shipments of gold from England
TO the United States are reported, and 1t is ac-
knowlcdeod by bankers in London that the
movement has only fairly begun. Many nmor-
ous Americans were frightened few months
ago when gold was going in the other direc-
ton, but the predictions of the panic-mongers
have been shattered. 1t is safe to assume that
both the Bank of England and the Bank OF
France will seek to check the draining OF their
coin reserves by raising their rates OF discount
but with the certainty that the volume OF ex-
ports of grain and provisions from America
will be enormously increased this year. 1t Is
probable that they will be only partly success
full. Mr.. Giffen who knows more about India
than he does about America, is forecashng a
terrible financial crash in the United States ana
even ventures to name the month, next Feoru-
airy, when our people will be likely to go to the

low can be recommended to this eminent status

The retirement of Warden Brush from the
Sing Sing Prison was sad loss to that institution
The laxless of discipline that has come about
under his partisan successor is made manifest by
two escapes from the prison within week In
connection with the 1rst one there was the mel
ancholy statement that the pursuit of the fugitive
was exceedingly annoying to Warden Brown. who
wished at that time to be attending a Democratic
convention and pulling wires with all dili2ence.
That David B. Hill introduced politics into the
State prisons is reason enough why Hllism and all
that goes along with it should be merciessl
buried at the polls in November.

While the decision of the Federal court in
Oklahoma restoring an Indian child forcibly de-
tanned by Governmental authority at school to
his parents is unfortunate in that it threatens
to remove large percentage of the Indian
students from the good influences now surround
ing them. it seems to be sound and even neces-
sary There is no law that we know OF which
clearly authorizes the Indian Bureau to compel
attendance. The rider attached to the last
appropriation bill by which it is authorized to
make rules and regulations governing attend
ance is not a satisfactory law. There should be
nothing vague about matter so important.
Compulsory education is necessary part OF our
Indian policy, and it should be declared in law
that is uDmstakable.

Mr. Giroy. the Commissioner of Public Works.
IN a report to the Mayor upon the condition OF
Croton water, suggests that strips of land on
each side of the principal streams and around
each lake or other tributary should be purchased
by the city, to prevent the deflement of the
water supply. He does not fear, however fur
ther deterioration of the water and says that
the danger to the public health from this source
has been overestmated. SuppOSing this to be
the fact, it is consoing so far as it goes, but it
ought not in any case to blind the authorities
or the people to the necessity of making the
future secure.

Governor Hill does not specially care who Is
Judge Of the Supreme Court for the Hid DIS
trict, but he cares great deal about the COM
position of the Democratic State Committee.
Accordingly, he gave Mr.. ID. Cady Herrick' OF
Albany. 10 understand that he might have the
judicial nomination if he would resign from the
committee; and in order to enforce this alter
native he made his arrangements to control the
judicial convention which met yesterday. The
result was that when Mr.. Herrick refused to
be budozed and retained his place on the COM
mittee, Governor Hill caused the convention TO
adjourn until next month. The interval will
be employed in strengthening the means of as
sault and the lines OF defence. 1t is obvious
that Governor Hill is not out of politics, and
also that he does not own Mr.. ID. Cady HeITiclI.

In commenting on an observation by Massa-
chusetts paper, that neither ticket in this State
contains the name of resident Of the metropolis
"The New-Yorl1 Sun" asks: " How about the
head of the Democratic ticket the Hon. Roswell
p. Flower until the other day the esteemed Rep
resentative in Congress Of the XIIth District ?"
And it adds: 1t is true that in some points Mr.
Flower is described as OF jefferson. but we take
il that this is partly compliment to the county
where he was bred as a farmers boy and partly
tribute to the quality Of his Democracy" Yes,
this may be true, but politicians Of the Murphy
and Croker type are not in the habit Of paying
sentimental compliments and tributes unless there
is some good reason for it, The fact of the matter
is. it sounds 50 much better for Democratic
candidate especially one nominated under the
conditions existing at the Saratoga convention, TO
be set down as "of Jefferson" rather than y oil
New-York," for " of NewYork" in this case would
by synonymous with of Tammany Hall"-and a
great many self-respeoting Democrats have de-
cded aversion to voting for men under the control

There are circumstances surrounding the af-

would ordinarily be attached to stabbng af-
fray of the kind. Thomas Fountain has bsen in

wife at Green River Hot Springs, and but few
days ago he attempted to cut another woman in
the same house. The girl who had the knife
thrust into her is known TO the police as Maud
Diamond, by reason of her alleged completely in
q sensational diamond robbery in this city some
months ago.
When somewhat recovered from the weakness
occasioned by the loss of blood, the wounded
girl said that she ssdid not want TO get the kid
into trouble" The other girls in the house,
however, claim that Fountain is dangerous and
treacherous, and ought TO suffer the conse-
quences of his rash act.
