THE PARTITION OF CHINA.

Pressure is being brought to bear upon
Lord R0sebery to induce him to forbid

the ground that such military demon
stratiOn would precipitate the cutting Of
the Chinese melon, with every prospect
that Japan would get the largest slice.
China beseeches the powers to intervene

quo, and points out that japanese con-
quest would amount 10 a transfer Of the
trade now enjoyed by Great Britain.

peiitioned the President to conclude new
treaty with China, affirming the right of
the missionaries to occupy land in the in
terror Of the empire and 10 pursue without
III olestation their attempt to christianize
the country.
When the Anglo-French expedition of
1860 entered Picking it was a matter of
some uncertainty whether the Chinese
empire had not ceased to exist. The allies
were in possession of the Chinese capital.
They looted and burned the Winter Palace.
There were Chinese armies scattered here
and there through the country, but they
did not try conclusions with the small
force which escorted Lord Elpin and Baron
GrOs. They kept carefully out of its way,
and the Anglo-French concluded their
promenade through Chih-li without the
least Interference. IT at that time the
foreigners had concluded that it was hes,
for civil ization and commerce to partition
China as Poland had been partitioned.
nothing stood in the way. They allowed
themselves to be persuaded by Ii Hung
Chang that Mongol-Tartar resuscitation
was possible and they resolved to give il a
trial.
Thirty-four years have elapsed and the
work of resurrection has made little, IL
any, progress. The Chinese army, nu-
merous as it is or ought to be, is contempt

THE CRIME OF The PERIOD.

It's not easy to analyZe the mind of a
man who deliberately forms plans to stuff
ballot-box with Illegal votes. The
American who stuffs balot-box may be
compared to a man who sets fire to his
own house. Government is as necessary
to human happiness as house to live in.
or what use is comfortable home if the
law does not protect it from invasion?
Now, every man of any intelligence knows
that representative government can only
exist while the ballot-box is substantially
pure. If the time ever comes when illegal
voting is so general that the genuine voter
knows that his vote is practically without
value i'm determining elections the genuiLe
voter will become rebel. be Will refuse
to recognize results that are obtained by
fraud. Then will come anarchy, and out
of anarchy the man on horseback. We
are not looking for the man on horse back,
but are looking for the stern punishment
of crime against the ballot-box. The in
cendiary is less dangerous to the CON-
munity than the ballot-box suffer
Houses may be rebuilt, goods replaced,
homes restored; but who can promise TO
re-establish a Government that has fallen
through the treachery and indifference Of
its citizens?

TEE CALL CALENDAR.
ELECTION RETURNS.

The Republican tidal wave has assumed
proportions the most sanguine Republican
never dreamed Of 1t has moved in an I'M
broken line. sweeping over landmarks
never disturbed even during the recon-
struction period. East of the Missouri
the North is now as solid as the South has
been since The Democrats obtained con-
troll of their State organizations. This.
however. was no sectional battle, and is
no sectional victory. Almost the only
issue before the people was that of free
trade or protection to American labor.
The verdict has been so decisive that no
contest will be invited again during the
present generation.
When the first returns Indicated that
Morton was running about even with Hill
in New York City the news was hardly
credited. The Democrats claimed 10000
majority in the city. and the Republicans
conceded 10000. But with more full re-
turns the conclusion was reached that
Tammany was doomed. Strong, the Non
Partisan candidate for Mayor, defeats
Grant, the Tammany candidate, by about
10000 votes. or course. after this the only
question was one of majorities. Hill
promptly admitted that he was showed
under by at least 100000 majority. Mr..
the Democratic candidate Contributed
somewhat to this majority, but it would
have been enough had be done his duty as
q Democrat. 1t is hardly worth while to
repeat the details published in our news
columns. Ohio elects a solid Republican
delegation to Congress. Michigan
elects ten Republicans to one Demo-
Graf Illinois elects a Republican
Legislature in the face of a gerryman-
der that was considered the equivalent
of 40, 900 votes. In other words. with less
than 10000 majority the Republicans would
lose the Legislature. Springer, the radi-
cal free-trader, is beaten in strong Demo
cratic district. Indiana. Wisconsin,
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Colorado
have declared for the protective policy.
The apostles of free trade are singled out
for defeat. Chairman Wilson goes down
in West Virginia and carries with him the
whole delegation. Tom Johnson, the
singIe-tax free-'rader of Ohio, is among
the slain. Russell of Massachusetts,
the -specious advocate of free raw
materials and protection for the labor of
converting raw material into finished
goods, saw his Presidential aspirations
nipped in the bud. The effect of this
sweeping victory on the industries of the
country will be good. People know that
the worst that can be done has been done.
There will be no more tariff tinkering
in the direction Of free trade.
The result in California is uncertain.
The vote as counted indicates a plurality
for Budd in this city, but the returns are
not conclusive. But small portion of
the vote has been counted. The result Of
the municipal election is hardly indicated
in the meager returns at hand

print. The feeling is general that if law
cannot reach the scoupdrels who cause the
voting lists to be stuffed with The names
of illegal voters. some power must be
called into operation that can. The fact
of the crime is demons trated. The
wretched tools of the bosses are known.
The methods by which the WORK is done
have been exposed. Ii only now remains
to connect the boss criminal with the
crime. The departments of the Superior
Court that are not under the domination
of the Southern Pacific Company cannot
perform greater service to the people
than to devote as much of their time as is
needed to the investigations now on foot.
Better open the doors of the jails to the
offenders now within tnan to keep them
closed against the greater offenders who
are yet free. Let every one bear in mind
that no worse crime can be committed in
republic than crime against ballot-box.

MUST BE STOPPED.

A Philadelphia dispatch of the date OF
October IS estimated that there were 60, 600
bogus voters on the registration rolls in
that city. There is no law there requiring
personal registration, the voting list being
made up by deputy assessors, who make a
house to house canvass. 1t is easy,
therefore. to leave on the rolls names of
men who have moved from the city or
have changed their residence in The city.
The stufing is so common this year that
an energetic effort is being made to purge
the list. There seem 10 be men there as
here who are not ordinary criminals, but
who see no wrong in stealing one mans
vote by use of a false vote.
