All the governments of the world
should not be merely ready to act
in the matter of protecting their
citizens in China, they should act
forthwith. The way to prevent re-
currence of the frightful massacres
which have taken place in that
chaotic country is not to sit still and
threaten, or to engage in the tor
tuous usages of diplomacy, but to
have men-of-war and marines on the
spot, ready for instant action. 1t is.
plain enough by this time that the So
called government of China has
either no disposition or no power to
eigners. AS far as the other coun-
tries are concerned, it makes no
difference which is the true state
ment. Where there is no authority
to guard the lives of our citizens,
it is our business to provide it, We
may be willing to let the people of
China work out their future for
themselves; but they must not be
allowed to march to it over the dead
bodies Of helpless men and women,
sacrificed to the passionate hatred
of the Chinese for all foreign peo-
plies.
The Indifference of the local au-
thorities to outrages already COM
mitted is matched by their policy in
throwing obstacles in the way of
an investigation Of the facts. The
probability is that the imperial Off
Gals feel their own impotence.
Through all the vast empire there
RACES the slow, sullen fire of bitter
humiliation because of the victories
of Japan. To the body of the COM
mon people it is all one on what
outlanders they wreak their revenge.
The most ludicrous and diabolical
representations of the acts and pur-
poses Of the missionaries find
speedy circulation and general Gre
dence among populace ignorant
and prejudiced beyond our compre-
hension. All China is a volcano
ready to burst forth in an eruption
that will cost many precious lives.
It will avail little if the powers take
thereafter a vengeance terrible and
complete. The only policy worthy
of a government is to prevent what
is threatened. There should be made
such an ample display of force as
will compel the authorities to do
their duty, and such protection
should be extended to interior points
as may be necessary to save foreign
residents from pillage and murder.
In a situation such as this has re-
vealed itself to be, we do not want
correspondence or remonstrance, but
action. The powers should act, each
one for itself, and all in harmony,
without regard to Chinese promises
or protests, to save their people who
are now in imminent danger.

REFORM DEMOCRATS WON.
Carried Nearly Every County in
South Carolina

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 2O.-There
was an election in South Carolina to-
day for members of the constitutional
convention which meets Sept. 10. The
Democratic primaries were held July
so, and resulted in the nomination of
agout lis reform and forty-three con-
sentative Democrats. In many of the
counties the Democratic candidates
were unopposed today, while in others
there were independent Democratic
candidates and Republican tickets in
the field. Senators Irby and Tillman.
Gov. Evans, ex-Gov. Sheppard and
Congressman Stokes, Wilson and Tai
bert were all among the Democratic
nominees. They WILL to a large extent
shape the work of the convention
Very full returns to the Register from
the thirty-five counties show that the
Democratic nominees in every county
have bean elected, with few possible
exceptions. Two independent Demo-
cratic candidates may be elected in
Union, and two negro Republicans in
Darlington and two in Beaufort. The
reform Democrats will have a large
majority in the constitutional conyep-
ton, which will largely eliminate the
negro vote. There was no trouble to-
day at any precinct in the state

GONE WITH $4,000.
Chicago Merchants Looking for Il
Looking-GIass Man.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O-Conrad II. Bey-
er, president of the Chicago Looking
G-ass company, has disappeared, and
it is the general belief Of his creditors
that he has gone to Frankfort-on-the-
Main. 1t is alleged that he has with
him large amount of cash, which
the creditors claim should be divided
among them. The Looking Glass COM
pany failed Aug. 1S, and the creditors
at once began proceedings to learn the
state of Beyer's finances and to bring
him within the jurisdiction OF the coun-
ty court The National Band Of Illi-
nois is said to have a claim against
Boyer for $t5, GOO, and the First Nation
al bank one for $4,000. The allegation
is that Boyer obtained the money
which he took with him by purchas sing
goods from dealers of this city for Use
by the Looking Glass company, but =
goods were sent to warehouses and -
receipts taken and pledged for cash.
Between Aug. and Aug. Is, the credit
ors claim. Boyer secured between
$40, 600 and $4,000 worth of goods, which
he disposed of in this manner. Unless
he can be brought back the creditors
will realize practically nothing on their
claims.

The Chicago Times-Herald has
been interviewing national commit
teemen- of both parties as to whether
they favor a long or a short presi-
dental campaign. 1t is a general
and accepted truth which has doubt
less occurred to these astute cam
paigners that if the campaign was
short and their candidate was de-
feated it was much too short, and on
the other hand, if the campaign was
long and their candidate was de-
feated 1t was much too long. The
campaign is always too long or too
short for the party that gets left.

DUNNING ASYLUM HORRORS.
Revolving Story Told by the Resi-
{ dent Physician.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O-The investiga-
tiCn of the county commissioners into
the management of the Dunning in
sane asylum began today. DR.. Nc
Crew resident physician of the asylum,
told of a horrible battle between two
smadmen, who had fought in the cor
7ridor of Ward No. 2 and tore each
other with their teeth like cannibals,
while Anderson, accessory to the muir
der of Puck, looked on and didn't in
terfere At the end of that story
Somebody whispered to President
JHealy, of the commissioners, you said
ethere was nothing to investigate"
rHealy looked up. His face was pale
story he had just heard. God forgive
me- he said: 81 Gid, but I did not
know these things" Although the in
quiry was only begun today, enough
was drawn out to show that great
abuses have been practiced in the asy-
linn

so that he cannot join in signing a
minority report on resolutions, as was
expected. In the contest on Butler
county the Campbell delegation was
seated, and there is considerable feel
ing expressed about Brice and Camp
bell carrying things high-handed, and
about programme having been ar
ranged. 1t is evident that there will
be contests in the convention on re-
ports on credentials and resolutions.
Inc subcommittee on resolutions was
increased to seven, so that the silver
men had two more representatives in
the persons of Patrick and Lewis, and
the gold standard men were represented
by ingalls,, Haro, Mcmahon, Dietrich
and Moors. This subcommittee will
report to the full committee at 8
o'clock in the morning, if it concludes
its work by that time.

HARDIN NOT THEIR MAN.
Demand for the Withdrawal of

CALIFORNIA; SILVER MEN.
Over 500 Delegates at the League
Convention.

Convention.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O.-At
the forenoon session of the non-par-
tisan convention called by the Amer
lean Bimetallic league SAT delegates
were seated by the committee on
credentials. The temporary officers,
George w. Baker and George p. Ken
ny, We're made permanent chairman
and secretary respectively. In view
of their services to bimetallism G.
w. Baker, Republican, C. J. Cleance,
Democrat, and Alexander Majors,
Populist, were recommended for ap-
pointmen& as national committeeman
for the American Bimetallic league
for California, and We're instructed
to proceed without delay to organize
bimetallic leagues through the state.
The balance of the session was de-
voted to addresses on the silver cues
ton by speakers selected by the pro-
gramme committee. As5emblyrc an
Timothy Guy Phelps, ex-coHector of
the port, said the committee had met
to right a great wrong, "the crime
Of rs" He said by reconciliation
our paralyzed industries would be
revived and American laborers
raised to a higher plane. He de-
clared that demonetiza ton benefit
ed the creditor and hurt the debtor
class; it disturbed the rights of con-
tracts. Robert M. Libetti, of Ne
vada, thought that silver would new
er be restored as long as it's friends
depended on either of the old par
ties. He believed the Peoples
party was sincere toward silver. Mr..
Hurley, of Calvaero, held that the
United States should proceed to re-
monetize silver irrespective of the
action of European countries, which
he thought would soon follow such
an example set by this country. He
maintained that the only way to Sc
cure the reconciliation of silver was
by the election to congress of men
pledged to silver regardless of party.
a silver education was necessary all
over the country.
At the afternoon meeting Delegate
thompson (colOreD, of Sacramento.
believed that party affiliations should
be thrown aside and men should
look to their own interests. He had
left the Republican party, although,
he said, it had freed his race. He
considered the negroes had paid
their debt to the Republican party
by twenty years of faithful alIegi-
ance, and henceforth he would vote
for the man pledged to free silver.

THE TREASURY sEE-sAw.

Nearly So, 000 600 in gold have been
at Washington for export, and the
bond syndicate has deposited $1,000
600 to keep the reserve intact And
this see-saw is likely to continue
until an increase Of exports shall
change the rate of foreign discount,
or the syndicate find itself unable
to furnish the necessary gold. While
this displays the intention Of the
syndicate to fulfill it's implied obliya-
ton to maintain the reserve, it is
the most tremendous object lesson
ever taught to any people in the folly
Of their financial system. That any
man can look at what is going on be-
fore his eyes and not discern at
glance the fatal weak spot in our
monetary policy is inconcai7abIe.
Gold will flow in and out, according
to the fluctuations Of the marke. and
the requirements Of commerce, like
any other commodity. But it is the
only commodity whose import or ex-
port carries with it ease and secur-
ity or apprehension and danger to
every interest in the country. The
present movement of money appears
to indicate that the bonds of the
last issue which were placed in Lon
don will not remain there. The con-
f1dence of foreign investors in the in
tention of the American people to
repay their loans in the money of
the world is still weak Therefore
large blocks of those bonds are find
ing their way back to this country,
and the money to pay for them has
to be returned. There is therefore
a greater demand for bills payable
in London than for bills payable in
New York, and the bullion has to be
shipped to make up the deficit.
This would be a matter of uncon-
Germ, as it ought to be, were it not
for the ability of the bullion exporter
to draw on the United States treas
ury for gold. Suppose that there
were an unprecedented demand in
London for wheat or iron or petrol
cum, and that merchants could COM
pei the United States government
to furnish these commodities for ex-
port. Does any one fail to see the
| absurdity of such a situation? Yet
| it is precisely parallel. When there
is a demand for money for export,
1t should be met by those who deal
in money-the banks. It would be,
| were 1t not for the existence of a pa
per currency redeema bic in gold that
enables the banker to compel the
treasury to assume his burden. If
| the banks We're obliged to meet the
necessities Of the situation, no one
would know the difference. The
steady demand for gold for ship
ment would presently cause a change
in the rates Of exchange that would
make it move the other way, and
| supply and demand would regulate
each other as they do in mercantile
transactions. But the banker now
does not need to trouble himself.
He simply takes legal tenders and
treasury notes to the sub-treasury
and asks for gold in exchange. The
law compels the government to make
| the trade. It loses the gold. 1t
must pay out the notes again for or
| binary expenses. The next day they
can be brought back for second
redemption, and SO ON indefinitely.
1t is the browning. imbecility OF
| finance.
