forth his peculiar views as follows:

CHINA having admitted to her realm
the people Of foreign lands, either as
merchants, travellers or missionaries, is
bound to afford them protection against
the lawlessneSs of her own population.
1t is probable that the Imperial Govern
ment is well enough disposed in the mat
ter, and that it wishes to adhere strictly
TO its treaty compacts. But it has to do
with four powerful factions, two of which
are plotting for the overthrow of the ruI-
ing Prince, and two others of which are
politically ambitious and think to gain
favor with the pOpulace by secretly en-
couraging maltreatment of foreign resi-
dents. The European powers and our
our Government have but one thing to
do in the premises, and that is to protect
their people in China. No matter how
they came there, or for what purpose, so
long as their residence is legal and they
have the right to repose trust in the
treaties with China. The threat to send
naval forces to Chinese waters and to
compel the Government to protect the
foreigners is, therefore, necessity.
Whether they are mobbed by the re-

THE semi-official statement came yes
terday from st. Petersburg that no new
understanding has been had with France;
that the cordial relations between Russia
and France are Of long standing and date
back more than score of years, and that
recent demonstrations were only Incl
dents of emphasis such as may well occur
between friendly nations. All this we
can believe. 1t is in consonance with re-
cent history and with reason. All the
rest of Europe is too sensitive over the
dipping OF az flag by France to Russia and
the exchange of few friendly greetings
and visits. Why should not the nations
be in amicable relation one to the other?
Is it necessarily threat to peace that
two great powers cement their friendship
by occasional manifestations? ? Is the visit
OF William of Germany to Victoria of
England, or of the King of Greece to
Wales to receive Interpretation by Russia
lnimIcal to peace. 1t would readily be
seen from their sensitiveness upon the
subject that Italy, Austria and Germany
are not content unless all other European
powers are at outs.

The following remarkably good story
Is from the Oskaloosa Herald. 1t illus
trates the mulish obstinacy of some
men and also demonstrates very i'm
portant truth in current politics:
One Of our farmer friends, whose only
fault is that he is q democrat-and he is
not to be blamed for that for his father
before him was dyed in the wool, and
he never reads the newspapers-came
to town one day this week to buy some
sugar. His good wife was putting up
fruit and she needed about fifteen
pounds of sweetness. The dialogue in
the grocery ran about as follows:
Farmer-What are you doing, young
man?
Clerk-Waiting on you. Weighing
out your sugar.
Farmer-How much are you giving
me?
ClcrS-A dollars worth.
Farmer-Yes, know; but how many
pounds?
Clerli-Twenty-four.
Farmer-Twenty-four! Why, it USED
to be only fourteen.
Clerll-Ics, but Mckinley did it.
farmer-Well, run her back and give
me only fourteen pounds. If | tool
home twenty-four pounds of sugar for
a dollar the old woman would make me
vote the republican ticket, and Ill b,
hanged if I'll do that.
