Lii Hung Chang's visit TO the United
States is of course a very serious mat
ter, but he had not been on American
soil very long before he was party to
a farce-comedy that can only be equal
ed in diplomatic circles. We refer to
the address made at the meeting with
President Cleveland, when Ii said:
ct will always be the desire of my
august master, the Emperor OF China
to maintain the most cordial relations
with America, whose friendly assist
ance rendered to the Government OF
China after the China-Japan war, and
whose protection for the safety of Chi
nese immigrants in America are always
TO be highly appreciated" The assist
ance rendered after the China-Japan
war is all right, but when the august
Viceroy begins to talk about the pro
lection his people, have received from
the American Government, his care
fully prepared address appears like
big Joke. If there is one place on the
face of the earth where the Chinese
have been bounded about, and in many
cities kicked from pillar to post, tina
country is the United States. The Gov
eminent may have offered a protest
hut it was quite Intellectual, and finally
the friendship became so warm that the
Chinese were excluded from the coun'
try. Possibly Ii regards exclusion as
Drotection, because if any more hac
come to America, the anti-Chlnese rlot'
would have been of more common oc'
currence.

Empire State, where Republican ma

SEPTEMBER II.

One of the coast exchanges is respon-
sibIe for the statement that fifteen
thousand people gathered on the wharf
at Seattle when the first steamer Of the
new Japanese line arrived. 1t is said
the people assembled to welcome the
Mike Maru as a harbinger of increas-
ed commercial prosperity for the city
This is all very well, but the good citf-
zens of Seattle must necessarily feel
some chagrin that with the wonderful
resources of the United States they are
Obliged to look TO Japan for harbingers
of prosperity. The American people
ought TO be ashamed of themselves
that the time has come when the Jap
.anese are giving. them lessons in pro
gress. When the "httles brown men
get their fingers we'll clinched about
the carrying trade of the Pacific, these
enthusiasts of Seattle and other cities
of the Western Coast will begin to
wake up and wonder why they didn't
take the initiative and seek to gain
foothold before it was too late.

THE POLITICAL DRAMA

The Vermont State election and the
gathering of the National Democrats aC
INDIANAPOLIS are the leading features
of the political drama in the Unlteu
States since the last mail. The Re
nuhIicans are naturally hilarious over
the returns from Vermont, since the
majority by which the State ticket was
elected was several thousand above the
calculations of the most enthusiastic
prophet. Both Democrats and Popu-
lists suffered losses, which shows that
the silver sentiment is at very low
ebb i'm this State, which is distinctly
State ruled by the farmers. The re-
turns demonstrate that the educational
campaign of the Mckinley forces has
been successful in one section.
The Democratic leaders are not given
to explaining the result on any other
grounds than that it is an example Oh
the power of Committeeman Hanna s
political machinery. The San Francis
co Examiner says of the facts and tig-
ures produced by the voters OF Yer
mont: Their portent is not TO be gam
said. Explanation of them only makes
more clear the duty of every Bryan
sunporter.
1.-The vital lesson of the Vermont
election is the evidence it gives OF the
resourcefulness of the Republican ma
tionaI machine No point is too small
for it to cover, no task too great for its
capacity Its means are ample, and its
confidence, as is usual with the bearers
of full purses, unbounded. The Demo-
Gratis. unable for lack of the sinews of
war to meet the enemy at every point,
must pick the States in which the bat
tie can be fought with the least ammu-
milton. and deliver their attacks there.
Vermont was not one of these States.
Maine. which votes four days hence, is
not. But from the returns in these in
yariably Republican States, Democrats
may gain some idea of how fierce is the
contest they have invited.
Let us not underestimate the signifi-
canoe of Vermont's election. 1t is two
fold. 1t indicates surprising Republi-
can activity and entire absence of Dem
ocratic effort"
But even Vermont's big majority has
by no means wrought a panic in the
silver ranks. Already the results of
Candidate Bryan's tour through New
York State are beginning to count for
silver, it now being claimed that the

ton, and very likely produce much
commercial trouble, yet we have no
doubt at all that it will blow over be
fore election day, and that Mckinley
will go in with a handsome majority
In the meantime, however, the sugar
trade will continue on a hand-to-mOuth
basis and no unnecessary risks will be
taken. There should be sufficient de-
mand for refined product to permit re-
finers to accept all raw sugars that
holders desire to sell, and it would
seem to be good policy to keep the trade
here rather than encourage foreign i'm
portations under present financial con-
ditions. A very considerable amount of
foreign sugar is, however, under en-
gagement at the present time" 1t is
to be noted that they expect more trou-
BILE before they have less, but still seem
hopeful of the final outcome. AS the
majority of Hawaii's crop has been
disposed of, the producers of this coun-
try can rest easy for while, to say the
least. and be thankful for the good for
tune of catching the current of good
prices while it flowed.

The return of the Armenian mas
