The civic declarations of most cities are
content to confine themselves to pro-
noting reforms or correcting abuses in
local or State governments. and one must
admit that as general rule that field
Is broad enough to employ all their en-
ergies. But the civic federation of Chi
cago has felt moved to issue a long adj
dress on the recent Chinese outrayes
which is evidently expected to create a
national IL not an International sensa-
ton. The public is informed that the
address Is based on 1.-The very latest news
from China" yet II adds nothing what
ever to the stock OF public information
on the subject and is simply stale re-
view OF dispatches which are within
everybody's reach. To give weight to
the address the public Is Informed that

men," among whom are several local

1t ought to have occurred TO the civic
federation Of Chicago that American in
terests IN China are in capable hands,
and that the State Department probably
knows what has been and is being done
there much better than the able gentle
men who drafted and Endorsed this adj
dress. Colonel DENLY. our minister to
China. Is a gentleman of ability and Of
the highest character. an experienced
diplomatic. member Of the Presbyterian
Church, and ii is an outrage to intimate
that he has neglected his duty or be-
trayed American interests in China.
The Chinese are peculiar people and
must be dealt with in peculiar way.
If the matter is wisely and judiciously
handled no doubt the Chinese govern
ment will make full and ample repara-
ton for the recent outrages, but this re-
suit cannot be secured by going at 1t

and impertinent address proposes. The
civic federation OF Chicago should con-
fine itself to reforms nearer home.

So much has been said Of the wisdom
of the Cleveland deal with the foreign
bond syndicate that few words regard
ing the profits of the transaction seem
necessary. The face value of the half
of the bonds sold to the American end
of the syndicate was S1,l57,50O. AS the
syndicate paid premium Of 4.49 per
cent. the government actually received
$32, 556,471. The syndicate sold the bonds
at premium of 1914 per cent. after
paying nearly Az, which gave 1t a profit
of $2.495.716. The bonds finally sold at
1924, making further profit Of SS,115, $50
for somebody. and making the price of
half the securities s3s.l67,936. AS the
treasurer received but $32,556.471, it is
apparent that the government lost $5.-
All .465 on half the bonds. If the loss was
the same on the foreign half, the gov
eminent lost s1O.s22 $50. The paying of

be called very high price-a fact that
bankers cannot obscure by any number
