A sIRAIEeIc MOVE.
The Action of the Chinese Governme
Closing tho Yangse.

Inc Action OF the chinese government IN
Closing tho Yangse.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-The action OF
the Chinese government in closing the
Yangse river on account of the compli-
cation with Japan growing out of the
Corean occupation is regarded by naval
officers us a most important strategic
measure from the defensive point OF
view. Shanghai, one of the most
populous and wealthy cities of China,
is situated on the Woosung river, a
short distance beyond its juncture with
the Yangse.
The Woosung bar, at the mouth OF
the tributary, made the navigation ex-
tremely difficult, and the Chinese gov.
ernment has prudently refused to heed
the oft-repeated suggestions of Euro
pean commercial powers that the chan
mel be improved at this point. AS it is
the sinking of a few junks loaded with
stone in the narrow and crooked chan
mel will easily and effectually close the
Yangse and Woosung above, thus pro-
tecting Shanghai ON the Woosung and
also the enormously expensive ord.
nance factory near the Yangse, which
would be simply Invaluable in case OF
hostilities

In these days we hear SO much
talk of protection against pauper
labor in the face of the fact that it
only costs to dollars for one of
these very same fellows to land in
America and compete with our own
labor. For thirty years the Repub-
Iican party has encouraged such a
state of affairs. They have legislat-
ed protection to the manufacturer
and free trade in labor. These evils
will be remedied if little more
time be given the party that has al
ways stood by the people.

WORKING THE MILITIA.
Labor Organizations to Join the Nation,
State Guards

Labor Organizations to Join the National
State Guards.
NEW YoRK, July 24.-The Herald
says: The report is current, and its
authenticity is youched for by an official
attached to one of the most influential
of the labor organizations of this city,
that organized labor throughout the
country is to unite in an effort for the
conversion of the militia to labor inter
ests. This is to be accomplished by the
enlistment of labor men in the national
guard in the several states. The move
ment was inaugurated in the west more
than a year ago, and labor leaders in
this city, who favor the scheme point to
the recent conduct of the national guard
in California who refused to do duty in
quelling the railroad riots as an evidence
of what the plan may accomplish.
The applications for admission to the
national guard in this state have recent
ly been more numerous than ever.
Among the applicants are many mem
bers of labor Organizations.

Chare ii to the RepubIleans.

There were no strikes like these
in the entire Democratic ante bel
Ium period. Low tariffs never bred
failures by the thousands, turned
myriads of honest laboring men
into tramps and drove other
myriads of them into desperate and
lawless uprisings. Nor should it
be overlooked that every one OF
these colossal labor revolts has &C.
Cured in the sections and in the
industries that are said to be most
signally benefited and prospered by
protection. Pennsylvania, New
York, New England, Ohio, and now
Illinois have been the scenes OF
these furious encounters, and in
every one of them the industries
involved have been the spoiled pets
of McKinleyism. Meanwhile the
South furnishes in all her borders
no counterparts of these conflicts,
albeit she has had scarcely any
finger in the protection pie.

The men who have controlled our
financial legislation since 1873 have
been contracting the circulation as
our population increased.
Their theory seems to be that the
more people a country has, the
smaller the per capita circulation
may be. The creditor classes and
the money lenders find this a very
profitable theory. The demonetiza-
ton of silver and the retirement of
paper currency increase the pur-
chasing power of every dollar that
is left, and as most of the money of
the country is congested in the east,
the capitalists of that section have
fhe west and south practically at
their mercy.

That business will improve there
is no doubt in the world. Every
indication points that way. It's
progress has been stayed by the
huge strikes from which we are now
emerging, but, with all these dis
turbing influences, the improve
ment is unmistakable, and, if labor
troubles be settled at once, by the
first of September a new era of
prosperity will set il.

VIEWED IN WASHINGTON.


Trouble Referred to Probably Occurred In
seoul, the Capital.
WASHINGTON, July Information
received at the japanese legation here
from Toxic is to the effect that the
trouble referred to in the Shanghai dis
patch to the Associated Press occurred
at Seoul, the capital of Corea, and not
at Nagasaka as reported. The mistake
in locating the scene of the difficulty is
due, probably, to the interruption of
overland communication between Seoul
and Shanghai, in which case all news
reaching the latter place from Seoul
would have to be sent via Nagasaka.
The cablegram giving the minister the
news of the difficulty, which occurred
Monday, came to hand Tuesday and is
as follows:
"Corean troops made uncalled for at
tack upon the Japanese troops stationed
in Seoul and the troops returned the
volleys.''
The dispatch gave no particulars re-
garding the cause of the trouble and
nothing as to the number of persons
who may have been killed. The min
ister's opinion, however, is that it is the
result of some indiscret action on the
part of the Corean soldiers which are
described at the legation as being un-
disciplined and hard to restrict in what
they do.
The minister feels sure the firing was
unauthorized by the government of Co
rea and he says it is very likely that it
has made an apology expressing regret
at the occurrence. There have been no
dispatches received at the legation
showing that the japanese have taken
action with reference to the lombard
ment of Corean ports. Japan, it is said,
has too many interests at stake at Corea
to attempt to destroy her coastw.--
cities, and the minister says certainly
has no intention of going to war with
Corea.

what an infatuation a Populist con-

could not be found in the fact that
they fear the Peoples party and
