THE Telegram aims to be a biograph-
icai dictionary in the case Of two Of its
candidates Tor. county ofices-county
clerk and Judge. Most Of the Others
have been in public Office for some time,
and Why cant you give at least a sketch
Of. their Official career, how long they
have held this. that and the other Office;
how they have exercised the Jefferson
ian requirements OF democratic officials
honesty, f~aithfulness and strict fdel-
.ity to public interests; how they have
fulfilled every obligation required Of
them by Law, not only in its letter, blit
also in its spirit. We could. suggest
without any special effort a number of
directions in which the bioeraphist
might travel with interest to his readers
provided the exact truth could be. found
and told without comment.

v~cstigaaion I.to the Chssg n RieGa

LONDON, Oct. Ia dispatch from
Psking to Renters agency confirms tho
news given out by the British foreign
Office. that the decree has already been
published in the Peking Official Gazette
ordering that Lin. viceroy OF Ssechuen.
be stripped OF his rank for failing to
protect the missionaries in his district
and that he be not again permitted to
hold Office. The Peking dispatch Odds
that the French minister to China de-
manded r~eparation for mission outrages
ON French subjects. Tho Times pub
lished . dispatch from Berlin which
says that the Chinese have informed
Germany that the leaders Of the attack
upon the German mission at Swaatu
have been arrested and measures will
be taken to arrest Others concerned.
WASHINGTON, d. C.,Ocs. minister
DENLY cabled the state department. from
Peking. today as follows: "Imperial
decree issued. Abstract: Responsibility
for Szechuen riots rests with officials.
viceroy Lin careless; took no notice Of
the beginning Of the riots. He is do
prived Of Office. never to be employed.
Other officials are to b punished"
This would seem to indicate that tho
crisis impending in China. involving .
naval demonstration by the British
forces. has been averted for , time at
least by a compliance with the principal
demands Of the British. Il cannot b
learned whether the decree comedies III
of the demands made. and the cable
gram makes no reference. to the sweep
ing conditions imposed BY the British
minister that the guilty officials be pun.
ished by suspension for three years in
the promotions aud appointments in the,
civil service in the province OF Szechuen.
Viceroy Lin. whose fall is Announced,
has been in trouble before. It is alleged
he was found guilty last November OF
misappropriation OF funds. and later on
the French investigations showed that
he was responsible for the Cheng tn.
riots. He was obliged to pay an indem-
nifty of $500, 100 to the French Catholic
missions from bis own pocket. The.
conclusion. which has been brought
about by British threats will not involve
the. abandonment of the Independent
investigation into. the Cheng Tu:. riots.
which has been ordered by Secretary
Olney.

Two Object Lessons.

=
-; Fremont people have had an object
lesson during the last few days. Al0cal
firm has .been hauling twenty tons of
sugar from the depot to its warehouse.
That sugar should have been made in
Dodge county, but it was made in Cali
fOrnia, and the money. it cost went to
the Pacific oast.1Herald.
:. Why does the Herald want that sugar
made in Fremont?
Why not buy it in Hawaii. or Ham,
burg?. It can be bought cheaper there
than homemade sugar can at present
be produced, without a tariff for its pro-
lection, or . bounty to stimulate it..
i: The people Of. Fremont have had an
other. object lesson. during the past
week. Of which our esteemed contempo-
yIary has. failed to take note.
+. When those twenty tons Of imported
sugar were. being hauled through the
streets a Fremont merchant was I'M
loading original packages OF wooden
goods, manufactured in. Manchester.
Fremont has q wooden mill that should
be supplying the home market. That
mill: has been shut down q good deal of
the time since the democrats reduced
the: tariff on wool and voolelf goods.
The result is these goods are coming in
made from Australian and South Amer
lean wool at the expense Of Nebraska
sheep: growers, and manufactured by
Manchester operatives at the expense Of
Fremont Gardens and dyers and spinners.
Why: doesn't the Herald apply its
practical, sensible sugar idea to other
industries! We should be glad toseeit
enlarge ito sphere OF usefulness in such
. manner.IFremont Tribune.
