cannot continue Indefinitely the OBJ
stacleS to reasonable and sensible pro-
gress. China is coming closer and
closer to the parting of the ways, when
the dormant forces of progress must
arouse themselves, perhaps through the
sense of impending danger from with
out the empire, perhaps from the hope
lessness of existing conditions within
The awakening may be to disaster and
ruin, but it may be, let us hope, to ma
tional regeneration.
AMERICAN VITALITY CONCERNED
1t is hardly necessary for me to call
attention to the deep concern which all
that affects China should have for the
people of this country. Hitherto our
interest in the affairs of the far east,
especially in those of China, has been
but languid at best. If during recent
years that interest has increased at all,
it has not been, fear, because the pos
sible fate of the Chinese empire seemed
a matter of practical concern to US, but
rather because the migratory habits of
its inhabitants threatened to create a
troublesome domestic problem in the
United States. Now, however, all that
is changed. Recent events have
brought home, even to the most
thoughtless of us, vivid realization
of the fact that we are, in truth, a
world power, havir : interests on many
seas and in many lands, where goes the
commerce that is to make US even more
prosperous than we already are but
nowhere greater interests than in our
ancient neighbor, that vast but help
less empire across the broad expanse
of the Pacific.

of the Chinese people themselves. 1t
seems to be the general understanding
that foreign control will be substituted
for Chinese rule. and that the people
Will remain quiescent, offering no OBJ
lection or resistance. An empire with a
population of over 100000, 600 inhabi-
tants; with a territory covering several
million square miles, comprising pro-
ductive alluvial plains traversed by
great waterways, fertile valleys, and
mountains and hills rich in minerals,
it is apparently thought, win be yielded
UP without murmur. The idea is
preposterous. To gain even a reason
ably complete control of any one of
China's great productive provinces, to
make it foreign territory in fact as well
as in name, lines of railway must be
built, costly military and civil estab-
lishments must be maintained; in a
word, many things must be done which
cannot be speedily completed. In the
meantime armed resistance may be ex-
pected, and with it chaos, so far as the
poor people of the coveted regions are
concerned.
Of course, we know that strange
things are done by Christian nations in
the name of commerce, but China is
not Africa, and the Chinese are not
savage tribes. A foreign ruler is re-
ported recently to have said that the

On the 1st of July the earth receives
per cent less heat from the sun than
it does during a corresponding period
in the month of January. But winter
does not occur then in the northern
hemisphere, because the sun runs high
in the sky and its rays fall upon the
earth more nearly vertically than six
months later, and, too, the day is much
longer than the night, SO that while
the sun sends us little less heat in to-

Il is reported that at yesterdays cab

that revision of the Dreyfus trial was

minister for war has declared that he
intended to compel the resignation of
the chief of the general staff, General

because, in two years personal investi-
cation, they had not succeeded in dis
covering the forgery and led successive

Meet in State Convention at Dubuque
Today.
Dubuque, Ia, Sept. 1.-The eve of
convention finds all at sea regarding the
outcome, it is certain there is no slate
and combinations have been denied by
those alleged to be in them. Each can
didate must therefore rely upon his in
dividual efforts and that of his friends.
Merriam, of Delaware, for authorship
is undoubtedly far ahead of other can
didates. The attempt to form a COM
bination against him has failed. Allen
is his strongest opponent and will poll
a big vote. He claims to have enough
to reserve to bring victory to his camp.
The attorney generalship is uncertain
and will not be decided until the votes
are counted. Remley had big lead un-
til within the past two days. when Sims
came in and is said to have won over
many delegates. Mowry for railroad
commissioner gained much yesterday,

Mowry and his strength has been of
great service 70 the Tama county man.
Resolutions will be strong for the
gold standard; approve the course of
the administration in the war, and de-
clare in favor of holding territory con-
cuered. Governor Shaw is here, and
among other leaders are Ex-Governor
Drake, Congressman Lacy and Senator
Gear. 1t is believed the convention will
finish its work before adjourning this
afternoon.
