Will China BE Africanized9

The pause In Germany's attempt to bull.
doze China into a cession of an important
point on the coast is ominous. Germany did
not TASK for the discovery and punishment
OF the men who had murdered the German
missionaries; but, pending an answer to
her complaints, a German fleet sailed into a
coveted harbor of the peninsula OF Shan
tung, bombarded and reduced the forts.
landed a force and took possession of the
town and tr%iumphantly hoisted the German
flag. To all intents and purposes this was
a forcible conquest of a desirable portion of
Chinese territory. Then the German Gov.
made its demands for indemni6.
cation. The Chinese Government was I'M
expectedly digniied in its reply, the main
point being that so long as the German
nag was lying over the seized territory no
negotiations were possible. This is com.
nonsense diplomacy.
But "bombshell diplomacy " has defeated
China before now; and it may be resorted
70 by Germany, with the partition of the
chinese Empire as one OF its ultimate re-
suits. We must not consider China as a

Tho President i'm Washington.

The hurried return Of President Mo
KISLKY to Washington is by some of our
contemporaries attributed to a claw" re-
quiring the presence Of the President at
the capital in order that he may be notified
personally of the assembling of Congress
and Of its readiness to begin the business
of the session.
There is no such law. The time for the
meeting Of Congress Is fixed by the Con-
stitution at the first Monday Of Decem-
Der, unless there shall be legislation chang
ing that date. The law of 1859, with the
additions of 1868, makes certain somewhat
scanty provisions for the organization of a
new Congress. The rest Of the procedure
is left to the Senate and House to define by
their own rules.
The Fifty-ffth Congress is already or.
ganized and in full working order.
1t was not a constitutional provision, not
a legislative enactment, not even a rule of
Congress, but a sense of public duty and
official propriety stronger than n private
grief, which required the President to leave
Canton and lgo to Washington under cir
cumstances which have gained for him the
sympathy Of the whole country.
