Ever since the occupation Of Chinese
territory by large numbers OF japanese
troops. observers OF the oriental war and
the conditions bearing upon II have been
confidently expecting some movement by
the great powers of Europe looking toward
Interference In the contest and Its early
conclusion. There Is little doubt that such
action would have been taken heretofore
save for the fact that no ground either
real or imaginary has been discovered upon
which England. Germany or Russia could
take the initiative In such a policy. In the
past few days, however. information has
been cahled eastward that may open rift
In the cloud OF European doubt and give
diplomats an opportunity to send the
Mikado to his corner before giving his ad-
versary a final Knockout blow. The Chi
nese now claim that the japanese did not
fight fair at the battle of Ping Yang, as
they attacked them on the fifteenth day of
the eighth month, when Ii Hung Chang
soldiers were all drunk from celebrating a
great Chinese Joss day. Civilized nations

fair and monstrous disregard of the rules
of warfare. The picture of a great horde
OF vengeful japanese rushing down, shoot
ing, sabering and bayonetting crowds of
Chinese soldiers, all defenseless under the
influence of dim religious drunk. is shock
ing to the finer sensibilities. 1t is holy
custom of the followers of Confucius to in
dulge in a jag whenever the feast day of
some particular Joss comes along on the
calendar, and II is as necessary to them
to fill up and get "wuzzy," as the condition
is called in the Oriental vernacular, as it is
for them to burn reams of prayer-paper and
roast droves of pigs. To attack an army Of
them, therefore, while pursuing their re-
ligious rites In this approved and honored
manner seems to be something almost as
reprehensible as II would be for civilized
army to fire on an ambulance bearing the
red cross OF Geneva If the claim OF the
Chinese is substantiated, therefore, we may
expect European interference in the i'm
mediate future.

Time alone can develop the fitness or un-
fitness of Nicholas II OF Russia to reign
over that tremendous empire. The task be-
fore him is greater and more perplexing
than that which burdened his father, for
the spirit of liberalism is growing and there
is a steady movement toward popular gov
eminent in countries where up to this time
n.onarchical methods have been supreme.
1t Is of course possible that Nicholas III
may rule for many years without becoming
q target for an assassin or the object OF
Eihilistic hate, but he Is not likely to be so
fortunate uuless he makes concessions such
as have up to this time been sternly re-
fused. The great mass OF Russias popula-
hon-loyal to the Gar mainly because he
Is probably The most prominent feature In
their religion-may never dream Of const-
tutional liberty, but among an active mi
nority there works a leaven that must in
eyitably result in freedom of speech and or
the press such as Russia has never known.
pfficial repression of peaceablc efforts to
discuss methods Of government other than
those operating in Russia Is most unreason-
able and merits and receives much con-
demnation. Only a few days since the st.
Petersburg police seized large number
of pamphlets in which a perfectly rational
dTbucu unity VI Gil tic po-
litical parties and all the nations which
are opposed to absolute monarchy. and
proposed that Russia should be governed
by two law-making bodies, one consisting
Of local councils, and the other an imperial
chamber of deputies. According to the plan
so advocated the emperor would have the
right of veto and quite many other
privileges any ruler ought to have;
provision was also made In the scheme for
freedom Of conscience, of speech and Of the
press. There was nothing immoderate or
unreasonable In the plan-throughout l.
was conservative and worthy of careful at
tention-yet the police not only refused to
Permit the publication of the pamphlet, but
are how actively engaged in searching for
its author and for those who may have
been associated with him in its production.
Over In this country hardly week elapses
without the birth Of a new scheme of gov
eminent, but the only persons who profit
by the labors of the agitators are the
printers. People who are permitted to dis
cuss the affairs of government In public
will never trouble themselves or others
by plotting in secret.

The Lexow inquiry into the iniquity of
New York City has adjourned for awhile.
The revelations which that prince OF ex-
aminers, John w. Goff, has compelled with
his keen probes of persistency and patience
have shocked and appalled, decent American
society. The police force of the community
which Tammany has proudly styled the
best governed city in the world has been
shown to be plunged In the lowest depths
Of degradation. Its personnel from the
highest to the lowest official, stands forth
in the light of public scorn smirched
with the foulest filth of corruption. The
investigation has proven beyond doubt or
question that the good and the bad, the
yirtuous, upright business classes and the
Vicious that prey upon the morals and sta
bility of the city have been compelled alike
to pay tribute to the gang that holds New
York In its clutches. The question nat
urally arises how the people On Manhattan
Island, knowing SO well the pernicious sys-
tenn under which they lived, should have
submitted SO long and SO tamely to its con-
tinuance. Ii Is inexplicsble to the honest
and courageous that business men Of stand
ing should have paid. regularly and irregu-
larry, for so-called police protection. instead
Of rising UP and demanding redress. 1t is
a sickening thing TO look upon the picture
presented by the witnesses before the
Lexow committee. and grinning hideously
In the most conspicuous place In its fore
ground Is the murderous head of the deadly
Tammany tiger. What splendid door
mat its pelt would make at the entrance
70 an honest New York City hall!

Amid all the beating of tom-toms in the
general issues of the impending election
public attention may have dritted away
repeal of which is hoped for BY many be-
fore 1t shall have actually been enforced.
Notwithstanding the neglect of the general
public, however. the New York Sun, noted
for its opposition to this legislative atrocity
has WaSe1 peculiar battle, and 1t is just
possible that il may have a marked effect
on the results of tomorrows strife. For
some time past the Sun has been canvass
ing the candidates for Congtess in New
York AMI brooklyn, of all parties and fac
lions, and as fast as a man has announced
his name has been balletined as a good
candidate, if opposed to the law, or a
wholly bad one If IN favor of it. This morn
ing 1t presents the final result of this Gu
rious campaign. by printing twelve names
of candidates for Congress in both cities,
who have pledged themselves unalterabl
against the tax. For these men the Sun
makes an earnest appeal 1t calls upon all
good citizens TO cast their ballots for these
twelve men, as they chance to reside IN
one district or another. The interesting
part of this matter Is that but six Of the
dozen candidates thus favored are straight
democrats. -Four are republicans, one is a
Shepardite. and one a Grace democrat
This unique canvass may or may not
have the result OF breaking down other
lines, but 1t Is surely making an issue In a
business style.

In Re. Ex-President Harrison

w. z. Curtis In Chicago Record.
The republicans are getting a great deal
more aid and comfort from the man who
was than the democrats are out of the man
who is in the W hite House. Yesterday Gen
Harrison sent his check for $1,000 to the
treasurer of the republican committee. In
this connection | may say that Mr.. Robert
j. Mckee, the son-in-law OF eX-President
Harrison, tells me that the general does not
want another term in the White House and
that he will not be a candidate under any
circumstances. He is willing to let his
record stand and has no further thirst for
power. He is satisfied to spend the rest of
his days as a private citizen without care or
responsibility, going into court with cases
of importance and continuing his law lect-
ures at the Stanford University, which by
the way, will go into a book. During the
eighteen months since he has been an ex-
President Gen. Harrisons fees for legal
servic have amounted to over SIS, 600. and
lis contract with the university gives him
$1,000 a year.
