THE IOWA ALLIANCE.

Its Leaders Well-tO-Do Farmers Who Have
Pledged Their LIyes, Their Fortunes and
Their Sacred Honor to the Cause.
The alliance state convention In this
city was remarkable in many respects.
Creston is the metropolis of the blue
grass region of southwest Iowa, which
has always been stronghold of anti
monopoly. There was very little adj
vertising of the convention. Yet there
was a large attendance, and a three
days session of profound interest to all
the participants. To those who closely
observed the character of the men who
attended this convention there was a
revelation of the secret of the strength
OF the alliance movement They were
representative farmers of influence and
strength, Every delegate was a man
whose face showed not only intelligence
but resolute earnestness of purpose
One of the most significant features
about these men was the fact that they
were men of means-the business men
of the agricultural classes. Not
one at them was rich, as
that term is now understood.

CHILD sOVEREIGNs.
The Status Of Royal Minors in the Old
World,

The Status OF Royal Minors In the Old
World.
It Is an interesting circumstance that
no fewer than three European thrones
are occupied by children. Since the
abdication of King Milan, his son
Alexander, who was born In August,
1870, and Is now, consequently, fourteen
years old, has been the titular ruler of
Servia, though the country is really
governed by a board Of regents. The
present King of Spain, Alfonso Kill,
Is an infant, and during his minority
the normal head Of the monarchy viii
be his mother, the Queen-Regent
Christina. BY the death of King
William III. the crown Of Holland do
wolves on his daughter, Wilhelmina,
who Is In her eleventh year, Here
again, the child's mother, Queen Emma,
Is temporarily invested with the royal
functions.
What likelihood, asks the New York
Ledger, Is there that these children will
ever rule In their own names2 The
young King of Servia has evidently the
poorest chance of reigning. The quarrel
between his father and his mother, the
ex-Queen Nathalie, has divided his parti.
sans, while the pro-Russian party, now
dominant In Servia, aims TO displace
the Obrenovitch dynasty to which King
Milan and his son belong, and substi-
tute the pretender Karageorgevitch.
AS to the infant King Of Spain, his SUBJ
jects have been hitherto withheld from
revolutionary outbreaks by certain
sentiment of chivalry. But as the SOW
ereiRn grows older, this feeling will
disappear, and 1t will prove extremely
difficult for bis supporters to make
head against the Spanish Republicans
on the one hand and tho Carlists on the
other.
The close approach to universal suf-
frage which has recently been made In
Spain must greatly strengthen the pop
Tllar leaders who regard monarchical
system with contempt and detestation.
The girl-Queen OF Holland has the best
chance of retaining her position, but
her hour of trouble will come when her
marriage is discussed. Her mother,
who is German. will naturally wish
her to marry German Prince; but such
a project Is certain to be resisted by
Russia and France, nor is 1t likely to be
viewed with favor by the Hollanders.
who dread absorption in the German
Empire. On the whole. there is some
thing pathetic In the situation of these
child sovereigns.

CHANGES IN CHINA.
Two Important Events OF Recent Occu
renee In the Celestial Euauira.

Two Important Events OF Recent Occur
renee In tho Celestial Empire,
The death Of Prince Ch'un, the father
of the present Emperor of China, has
been accompanied by two changes, says
the Philadelphia Press, which betoken
great alterations in the spirit, tendency,
and avowed purpose of the powerful but
inscrutable, and often invisible, great
personages who sway the destinies Of
China, surround the throne, and WELD
despotic power-yet are often unknown,
not only to Europe, but to Europeans
long resident in China.
The first OF these changes relates to
the access Of foreign Ambassadors to the
presence of the Emperor. For Chinese
this Is accompanied by the kotow or
thrice prostration-a degrading cere-
mony to European eyes, though q mere
matter of ordinary respect under Chi
nese conventions. Lord Amherst in
1916 refused peremptorily to submit to
this in spite of unbroken Russian and
Dutch precedents, and broke off all ne
gotiations. The continued refusal of
the Chinese authorities was one of the
causes of war in 1856 by England and
France, and, while China offered to per-
NIT our own Minister TO have an audi
.ence II he would bend one knee slightly,
this was refused. There is the best
authority for saying that If the South
erner who was our Minister had had
the same cool insistence as the mild
hammered Northerner who was secre-
tary of legation, full concessions would
have been made then.
They were not, war came and brought
foreign troops to Peking and it was not
until 1878 that, under peremptory do
mand, the Chinese Government per-
mitted an audience. Since then the nom
age of two Emperors has been a con-
venient pretext for delay, and it marks
q great advance that the Chinese Gov
eminent, without awaiting q demand.
has fixed time for an audience on Eu-
ropean terms.
The other change Is tho announcement
that the able, advanced and enlightened
Ii Hung Chang is to pass from his post
as Viceroy of Chi Lii, the first vice-regal
post in the Empire, and become a mem
Der of the grand council of state in
Peking Instituted in 1870 by the Em-
peror Yung Ching, this must not be
COMPOUNDED with the four grand secre.
taries, of which Ii is already q MEM
Der as one of the two Cinnamon on
this board. The grand council Is In
many senses the supreme executive
power in the Empire. Originally organ
lied for military purposes and COM
posed of Manchus, 1t had at the begin
ming of the year but one Muncha and
four Chinese. Two of these are on the
board of foreign affairs. Tho tranala-
ton of Ii to this high post VIII be uni

those intelligently familiar with It's
affairs as a proof that his liberal views

expected. ii is an old man and aging.
He has had one stroke of paralysis, but
he is the ablest OF his race, and his
new post ought to enable him TO over
come the bureaucratic resistance which
has so long baked his better plans and
frustrated his wiser policy.

PRESIDENT M.eRATH.

His Letter L. Hasty and IIIadvised and
Forces the Issue Before the Times Are
Ripe.
The recent letter of Brother Nc
drath, state president of Kansas ALI
ance, explaining his ideas upon the con-
ference of May 10 at Cincinnati, is I'M.
fortunate, untimely and altogether un-
necessary. Such ill-conside-ed utter
ances are certain to do great harm and
furnish matter which the enemies of
reform will use in bringing about strife
and discomfort in the order. Brother
McGrath is the only state president who
has thought it proper to recognize this
meeting officially. In this he NAV rep
resent many of the brethren of his
state 1t is very certain, however, that
he does not reflect the wishes of all:
but when he undertakes officially to
read the brethren of the other thirty
one states lecture upon their duties
TO the alliance, and ends with the
threat OF leading the alliance hosts of
Kansas and other northern and west
ern states back to the republican party,
his assumption has reached the domain
OF absurdity. In this statement he does
not voice the sentiments of Kansas or
the northwest, neither does he re-
fleet that good sense and judgment
which led to the victories of last
November. Brother McGrath has mis-
taken the froth and foam of agitation
for the more solid substance of educa-
ton, and in consequence has under
taken to force the great bulk of the al
lance into an undesirable position. His
letter will fall far short of its intended
erect, and instead of showing the bene-
nts OF the action suggested, it WILDE
ample proof that conference guided
by such sentiments, and governed by
men OF so little perception, should be
avoided by all who have the best inter-
ests of the organization at heart. 1t is
to be regretted that such letter was
ever written, and the only good purpose
IL can serve Is a warning to others who
are unwilling to permit the work of
organization and education to declare
the time and method, but in their
anxiety would anticipate both. Such
undue haste has been the bane of all
previous reform, and if permitted to
continue will doubtless bring destruc-
ton upon this great organization. Now
Is the time for calm, deliberate action.
Nothing should be forced upon the peo-
pie under the excitement and hurrah of
the moment. The interests at stake are
too great to permit of any errors and
the necessity of final triumph too mo-
mentous to admit of any discord.
