Ifaytl.

We lay before our readers this morning.
in letter from Washington. very inter-
esting abstract Of a pamphlet upon the
American Question In Haytl, which has
Just been printed and published in this city,
though 1t bears the imprint OF Port-au-
Prince. We give placo to this letter
with special pleasure. because It has
the signature Of our friend. Mr.. T.
THOMAS FORTUNE. whose name Is now
prominently mentioned as tho successor to
Mr. FREDERICK DOUGLASS in the Haytian
mission Mr.. FORTUNE is one OF the most
accomplished. able, and conspicuous among
our Afro-Amerlcan citizens, and VIZ are
confident that he would fill such q post
with advantage to the country and with
honor to himself.
At the Same time we do not adopt all Of
the opinions and conclusions that Mr.. For
TUNE advances; and still less do we admit
all tho views and conclusions Of the pamphlet
In question. whose ostensible author is Mr..

China.

1t Is hard to tell what tho European pow.
ers that are now menncing China would like
the Chinese Government to do. more than 1t
Is doing. for the protection Of the foreign res
idents In the empire. In few cities OF the
Yang-tse-Kiang, Christian missionaries have
suffered somewhat in riots raised against
them by anti-foreign nobs; and. according to
dispatches sent from Shanghai, two Europe
ans have lost their lives, and small amount
OF property has been destroyed In these
riots. But the Chinese local authorities,
acting under orders from Pekn, have per-
emptorily suppressed all outbreaks. and have
punished the instigators OF them with mer-
CHESS severity. A few weeks ago several OF
tie leaders OF tho mob at Wusieh were be-
headed, and their heads wero fastened to
poles that were carried through tho
cities OF the province OF Marking,
as a warning to the rabble. Large
bodies of troops have been sent to
every locality in which there was any sign
of disturbance, and the protection thus given
to the foreign residents has secured for them
almost complete safety. The Emperor re-
Gently sanctioned tho PRONUNCIATION of de-
cree Drawn M by his Council OF Ministers.
In which oil Tartar Generals and State func-
t!onaries were ordered to take decisive
measures t. secure the safety of the Chris
tian missionaries and other foreign resi-
dents. and IN which even the Christian re-
ligion was commended as "reliaion that
teaches men to be good" 1t Is not easy to
see what else the Chinese Government can
do In the premises; and the fact that the
violations of the peace have been but few
and slight. Is the best evidence OF the wis
dom OF its course and the successful en-.
forcement OF It's measures.
Yet China is at this time menaced by three
European powers. England. France. and
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1891-08-22

Germany, upon the pretext that tho Chinese
Government has failed In It's duty toward
their subjects living under Its pro-
lection. According to our latest de-
spatches from Shanghai, the Minis
terra of these powers at Pekin have
given notice that joint attack upon
China will be speedily commenced unless
the Chinese Government gives still further
guarantees for the safety Of foreign resi-
dents. 1t Is a high.handed proceeding OF
these powers, especially In view OF the fact
that, so far as is hero known, China has
shown every desire to satisfy their demands.
and has acted upon such Of their sugges-
ton. rs it has the ability to carry out.
II hostilities should be begun, as the Lon
don Standard says, China will probably be
thrown into q state OF anarchy, under tho
influence OF the powerful and all-pervasive
secret societies that are opposed to the pres
ent imperial dynasty ns well as to the i'd
mission Of foreigners.
In various des patches that have been sent
from Shanghai to the European press with
in the past few weeks. 1t has been asserted
that American men-of-war would take part
in tho joint naval demonstration against
tho Chinese ports at tho opening Of HOSTILE
tics. We need not say that this assertion is
untrue. or that the Secretary OF tho Navy
has instructed the commander OF our Asiatic
squadron to refrain from even the slightest
show OF Interference In the evont OF tho out
break of hostilltics. Tho policy Of our Gov.
crnment in this case is strict neutrality.
We do not propose that the United States
shall be brought into trouble with China,
or involved In any foreign complication.

A Rule that Work. Both Ways.

The opinion presented in tho suhjoined
extract from the Washington letter to the
Ne, York Times is worth moments Sc
rious attention:
"Ths politicians hero believe that the endorsement
Of BLAINE by QuAYs convention 10 sufcientiy strong 10
call for some notice from Bar Harbor In other wordA
the politicians think BLAINE must either decline to DO
candidate resign his seat in the cabinet They be
lsvs would be Inconsistent with psoprie for him to
remain in tho Cabinet and be candidate for frssdent
while his chief remains q candidate for reconciliation"
What politicians think so? Are they the
politicians who, In the face OF all the ele-
ments, are trying to boom Gen. HARRISON
Tor second term as President?
II the spontaneous declaration OF the
Harrisburg Convention, unsolicited and I'M
sought by Mr. BLAINE, forces upon that
gentleman any such alternative "a Ia sug-
gested by the alleged politicians in WASH
ington, why does 1t not Affect tho Hon.
BENJAMIN HARRISON In the same way?
The Pennsylvania platform also contains
. resolution commencing the administration
OF Gen. HARRISON. Tho approval Is not
warmed to a very high temperature, but it
may bc construed rs n recognition OF his
candidacy. Docs not the HARRISON plank
In the Pennsylvania platform render 1t i'm
perativc that Gen. HARRISON should either
decline percmptorily to be a candidate for
reelection, or resign his Office before he at
tempts to stem tho tide OF Mr.. BLA1NE's
popularity?
Never should 1t be forgotten that the Hon.
BENJAMIN HARRISON OF Indiana owes his
nomination, his election. and whatever dis
tinction his Administration has gained to
the Hon. JAMES G. BLAINE Of Pennsylvania
and Maine.

Tho westrup scheme for raising money
that has bsen laid before tho Farmers ALL
ance OF Kansas Is far more practicable than
tho Sub. Treasury scheme. It can be carried
out without the assistance OF Congress or any
political party. aud In defiance Of the red
dragon OF Wall street 1t provides that the
Alliance farmers shall form financial society.
put their landed or personal property into
fund. and Issue notes upon the security thereof
OF course the Alliance farmers will run
certain risks by going into this scheme. and
will even be Liable 20 lose their real or por-
sonal property In It. But that is their own
businesa. or course other people will have
the right to refuse to take the notes issued
upon the security given: but that may be the
means OF saving them from losses to which
they would Do liable BY accepting them.
At any rate the Federal Govern msnt 10 not
held to any responsibility by the Westrup
scheme OF borrowing: 80 that It has at least
one advantage over tho ub.Treasury scheme
