"No sooner was peace declared, how

hostility with successive riots through

and mother parts of the empire; three
in the province of Kiang Su, one in
Kiangsi, remarkable for the part the
officials have taken in it; ona in Hupeh,
some twenty in Szchuen, five in Chekiang,

acting thus is to wipe away the disgrace

lar occurrences some years ago he con.
tinues: This time also the people are
acting for faithful reasons, and so can
not be called mobs, but they are only
stupid to mix up with the mobs.
eff this be the view of the enlightened

sThis is the way they would wipe out
the disgrace on the nation

brave enough to attack dozen helpless
women and children, to torture and MAIN
them, and gouge out the eyes of babies.
"Such is the courage of the giant whom
Western powers fear to arouse!
"It is ridiculous to trust the statement
or promises of Chinese officials, with
whom lying is a fine art
"It is folly to treat with China as with
civilized power.
''Those who have lived longest in China
know how thin the veneering of her civil
zaion Is.
sit is the truest kindness to the Chinese
to recognize them as the half-civilized,
cruel, and treacherous people that they
are, and compel them, as we compel other
savage races, to keep the peace.
SIT is not necessary to make war, but
simply to insist that the officials who
create the riots shall not be permitted to
make innocent coolies suffer in their
stead. Civilized countries have always
exercised police powers over the uncivil-
ICED races. 1t is for the true welfare of
the uncivilized that it should be so.
ssThe United States can not shirk this
responsibility. 1t is disgrace to our
country that an American Minister should
be compelled for want of a few paltry
dollars to decline to send Commission
to Szchuen.
"Cou1d we have one careful investisra-
ton, followed by the just punishment of
the Mandarins who have instigated the
troubles, not of the coolies, who were
merely their tools, there would be an end
to these eyer-recurring disturbances ="
