War between Japan and China has
actually begun. Hostilities have
been formally declared, it is said, and
a great battle is reported to have
occurred on the Goth between some
Chinese transports which attempted
to land some troops on the Corean
coast and some Japanese cruisers and
a battery on the shore. The Japa-
nese won a decisive victory, the Chi
nese suffering great loss of life. 1t is
announced that the japanese intend
to hold the king of Corea as a hos
tage for the enforcement of certain
internal reforms. Public opinion in
Europe favors an early peace, and it
is not improbable that an under
standing will be reached. The senti-
ment of modern civilization is against
war, while modem weapons are made
so terribly destructive as to render
numbers in opposing armies a minor
consideration. Napoleon put his
trust in the heaviest artillery land to-
day giant projectiles and explosives
r relied upon for the work of de-
struction.

Beats Jerry SImnson.

Kansas has produced the most
unique character as n candidate for
Office to be found in any state in the
Union, according to a correspondent
OF the Chicago Herald. This man,
Hugh Cameron, one of the most pic
turesque figures in Kansas since the
days OF Jim Kane, announces his can-
dldacy for Congress in the I'd Con-
gress district, subject to the will of
no convention, but to the people when
they shall go into the Australian
booth to cast their votes. He declares
that he is neither a Republican, DEM
ocrat nor Populist, but that he pro-
poses to go to the homes of all the
voters and convince them that it will
be to their interest to send him to
Congress.
His plan of campaign will be as
novel and peculiar as have been his
habits of life for the past third of a
century. With his old and faithful
mule that has been his friend and
companion for more than 10 years.
he intends to penetrate every neigh
borhood in the nine counties in the
district and appeal to the citizens to
cast off the party yoke and vote for
their best interests. Until forced to
do so by the early frost he will wear
no shoes, holding to his established
custom of going barefooted during
the summer months.
Hugh Cameron is the most eccen-
trio character that Kansas ever pro-
duced. His homei is three miles north
west of Lawrence, OF the banks ofthe
Kaw river, at what is known SCAM
eron Bluff. He is at once a scholar,
a soldier, a vegetarian, q celibate, a
whllom statesman and withal a her
nit. Little is known in Kansas of
his early history, although he has
lived in his unique cabin at Cameron
Bluff since the early territorial days.
He lived a quiet, secluded life on his
farm and took but little part in the
stirring events of the time. He en-
tered the war as a captain in the I'd
Kansas volunteer cavalry and came
out a lieutenant-colonel and brevet
brigadier-general. Every winter he
makes a pilgrimage to Washington
to look in upon Congress, but with
this exception he never leaves his
home save to buy supplies. Cameron
comes from good Pennsylvania stock,
and is said to have taken to his her
nit life because he was Tilted. by a
maiden who had promised to wed
him.

Why THE LETTER WAS SENT
President Cleveland seems to have
realized some of the consequences
of his colossal blunder in making
public the Wilson letter very shortly
after the occurrence, and had he adj
hered to the advice of Secretaries
Carlisle and Lamount, the letter
would have remained securely locked
in his writing desk. Both of these
astute functionaries are said to have
read and condemned the letter when
it was first written land the President
pigeon-holed it for several days; but,
unfortunately for him, a conference
of his admirers was held on Sunday,
the 18th, at his country place, and
the Presidents vanity overcame his
prudence. When the explosion oc-
Cured in the Senate Friday he must
have repented bitterly of the folly
which had ST suddenly and radically
destroyed his prestige and impunged

The Latent Strength of China.

Can the Japanese defeat the Chi
nese? That is the problem which is
attracting the attention of the world
to the distant Orient, and the answer
to which cannot fail to have a far
reaching influence on the destinies of
Asia. China has not in modern times
been engaged in any struggle that
gave a fair example of her strength.
Her troops are numerous in official
reports, but the Empire has at COM
mandl less than two hundred thousand
effective and disciplined soldiers. The
military resources ofChina, therefore,
SO far as the active army is concerned,
are not formidable to a first class
power. What puzzles curiosity, how
ever, is the question of strength now
latent in the vast and inert Chinese
population. If the Chinese masses
should become aroused, as the Mon
gol hordes of earlier centuries were
aroused, to enter upon a career of
conquest, their very immensely of
numbers would make them terrible,
if not irresistible. There would prac-
tically be no limit to the torrent of
humanity should it once break the
barriers which confne it within the
limits ofChina. Francefoundin1 1884
that war with China was not a pas
time, and that repeated defeats
evoked only additional exertion on
the part of the Chinese, and when
peace was made France appeared to
have had the worst of the struggle.
And yet China was yfarf from max
ing extraordinary efforts to defeat
the French.
A conflict with Japan would be like-
~ to provoke the Chinese to a much
greater exhibition of energy than war
with a Western power. The two ma
tions are animated by traditional
hatred and jealousy of each other.
Japan has made marvellous progress
within recent years in the arts of
civilization and the development of
her resources. She has sparedno OPP
portunity to extend Japanese domin-
ion at the expense of China, and has
even attempted to gain a foothold
upon the Chinese island of Formosa.
The rising in Korea has not created,
but has aggravated the situation.
In the Chinese view the time has
come for q decision as to whether
Japan or China shallcontrol Eastern
Asia. Ia such a struggle the Chinese
will doubtless put forth all the
strength at their command. The
contest will be watched with the deep
est interest, and possibly the fate OF
Japan will depend upon the result

By notice elsewhere it will be seen
that the Lamoille county Democrats
hold their convention this week Sat-
urday at Hyde Park. There does
not appear to be much enthusiasm,
and who will be finally persuaded to
act as standard bearers is as yet un-
certain. The deplorable condition OF
the country brought on by the tariff
~tinkering at Washington and the re-
moval of the sugar bounty and the
duty on wool has had a sadly dis
couraging effect on Vermont Demo
Gratis. The convention will be a very
solemn affair, and it will require a
great deal of whistling on the part
the leaders to keep up the courage OF

Apparently a Hopeless MuddIe.

The tariff conference committee
met again Monday with the outlook
far from favorable for a speedy
agreement. While sugar, iron and
coal are the principal items upon
which the two houses are at variance,
there are many other points which
will provoke discussion and add to
the chance for complete disagree
ment. The house has declared in fa-
vor of ad valorem duties largely,
while the Senate has leaned toward
specific rates. A wide range of arti-
cles is covered by this point, and it
will play an important part in the
work of the conference.
During the last week the opinion
has been freely expressed that the
House would yield to the Senate, or
at least meet it more than half way.
This feeling has been modified some
what in the last few days, and the
friends of Free Trade are encourage
ing the House to stand firm, in the
hope that the senate will at last ac-
cept the suggestions of the President.
AS both sides are indulging freely in
in what is commonly called "bluf-
fing" it is impossible to Judge of the
situation with any accuracy.
A discouraging feature to those
who hope for a speedy settlement of
the dispute is the fact that, although
the conference committee has been in
existence three weeks, practically
nothing has been done toward ad-
justing any of the schedules. Only
the big items have been touched, the
conferees apparently feeling that dis
cussion of the other details would be
useless if there was no agreement
upon the main points at issue. So,
if at last the two houses do get to-
gether on sugar, iron and coal, they
will still have a long list of differences
to adjust.
1t is feared that if no general tariff
bill succeeds attempts will bemade to
tinker the schedules by the pop-gun
method. Bills relating only to a
single item will be introduced in the
hope of punching holes here and there
in the Mckinley law. This will pro-
long the agitation and postpone the
longed-for business revival. Popular
opinion will oppose such a course
strongly, but, unfortunately, this
Congress has shown little regard for
the public and it's desires. So, alto
gether there is little to hope from the
powers now dominating affairs in
Washington.-Troy Times.

THE GOVERNMENT STRoNG.-Un-
thinking people who are prattling
of the need of a stronger govern
ment" do not stop to reflect that we
have a federal army of $4,000 men;
that there are 100000 State militia
of whom the President is commander
in-chief, and that there are over
10000 600 men of military age in
the United States, fully 10000, 900

The Cost of Pensions.

The pension expense seems to have
reached high-water mark. In the
past year the gross additions to the
pension rolls have reached $4,000 as
compared with nearly 125 1000 for
the preceding year. During the last
fiscal year nearly 5000 names of al
legged illegal pensioners were dropped
from the rolls and the percentage of
deaths among pensioners has greatly
increased. Although the exact fig
ures have not yet been given out by
the pension office, it is already an
nounced that the number Of pension
ers has gone a little abov l ,0O0, 600.
Commissioners Lochren paid out
about $40, 600, 900 during the last
fiscal year aud it is expected that no
more than that amount will be need
ed for the pension office this year.
The rapid increase i'm the death rate
among pensioners was not a thing
of chance and it has already become
apparent that the men who wore the
blue 30 years ago are now passing
away in larger numbers every year.
1t is more than likely, therefore, that
the high tide in pension payments
has almost been reached and that
the ebb tide will have set in by 1897.
No other nation, however generous
to her heroes, can show a total of
pension payments that compares
with that of the United States since
1861. Up to the present time the
pension payments made since the
outbreak of the war amount to more
than 81, 700, 000, 900, and before the
fiscal year of 1S96-97 has comet to an
end a total payment of more than
$4,000, 900, 900, %ornearly three times
the amount of the interest-bearing
debt of this republic, will have been
made,-St. %Johnsbury Republican.

ANOTHER VERMONT SENSATION
The next sensation promised by the
New York World, with its treasury
annex, will be an exposition of the
receivership of the First National
Bank of st. Adams, writes a cores
pendent to the Burlington Free Press.
Hon. Daniel Roberts, the first receiv-
er, has always been very anxious to
find out how, and for what reason,
he was so summarily removed from
the r%eceivership some nine years ago.
The r%eceivership of this bank is not
closed, as may be enormously sup
posed, nor the receiver released from
liability. The law, as it stands, says
that a receiver and his sureties, ex-
cept when an agent succeeds him, are
never released from liability, for the
bond is perpetual.

anchor of the republic On the whole
it has been of invaluable service in
the good government of this coun-

tion and the House provision for the
election of the Senators directly by
the people is an immense delusion
and an attempted disturbance of con-
sentative balance, as the Senate is
the feature that the makers of the
constitution intended to have the
most pronounced effect. The quality
of the men selected through the pop
ular vote is much more likely to re-
duce the quality of the body, and is
perfectly obvious to any person who
is at all read in the political history
