zens in China, missionaries and others, are
of course, entitled to protection for them
selves and their property, as also the small
cessions of territory which the government
has obtained by treaty in a few cities. but
these are very far distant from the recent
German and French aggressions and there
is scarcely a remote possibility of their be-
ing disturbed. 1t must be remembered that
Germany and France are .nly nibbling at
the fringe of the vast Chinese empire, and,
not to speak of other powers. they would
have to reckon with China herself before
they would be in position TO threaten
American interests 1t remains to be seen
if they viii be able to maintain the little
foothold they have got, much less strengthen
or extend it. If the Chinese become aroused
and determine to drive the intruders into the
sea they can do it. AT all events, there is
not the slightest probability that Germany
and. France viii be able to push their en-
croachments to point that will threaten
American interests. The idea that they can
destroy or cripple our Chinese trade seems
very far fetched. That trade is large, impor-
tant and growing 1t has great future pos
sbilities, and should be carefully safe
guarded and protected, If protection should
become necessary. But it must be remem-
bered that there are upward of 3O0,O00,GGJ
people in China and they going TO re-
main there and continue to increase and
multiply for long time to come They are
not going to leave the country, nor be wiped
out of existence, nor be absorbed and as
simulated by any other nationality. They
are not going to be Germanized nor Franco
fed The Chinese government and people
are friendly to the United States and the
recent invasions by Germany and France,
though insignificant in themselves. will ir-
ritate the government and people against
those powers and make them feel still more
friendly 10 the United States. Our trade
with China is so we'll established that it
would take great deal to destroy or cripple
it, and it is much more likely to increase
steadily for many years to come than it is
to diminish. On the whole, our interests in
China do not seem to be in any danger.

MIR. TELLER's STARTLING PROP
OSITION.

Senator Teller, who is in many respects
the ablest of the senators who have no other
idea in politics than to force the country
to silver monometallism, is giving momen-
tary attention to our foreign relations He
is in favor of the annexation of Hawaii,
and he would have us recognize Cuba. But
his latest expression is in regard to China.
I'VE should join Great Britain in a notice
to Russia and Germany that dismember-
ment will not be permitted is the declara-
ton of Senator Teller; "even without Great
Britain we should give such notice If We
do not" the senator from Colorado contin-
ues. I'VE shall sink to the position of a
third or fourth-rate nation, helpless, degrad-
ed, without influence among the nations of
the EARTH
1t is hoped the United States will not ac-
tually come to such a pass as Senator Teller
predicts should we not join Great Britain
in protesting against the partition of China
for commercial purposes. We are seventy
millions of rather active people, producing
more, and, what is much more important,
consuming about as much of the products
of industry per capita as two people i9 any
other country. When we get down to it we
can take care of many more people on this
continent, or the part of it we occupy. With
out taking any part in the intrigues of Eu-
rope we head the industrial procession of
nations outside of agriculture. Our domes-
tic trade for one day would be of more
value than all the trade we have or can have
in China for a year. Our position as ma
ton does not depend upon the failure of
China, because our own millions and our
home growth assure us a place in the front
of the procession of nations. If Mr. Teller
could regain the contentment and blessed
ness which he experienced while he was a
stalwart Republican he would not be the vic
tim OF such dismal views regarding the flu
ture of this country in the event it is not
able to capture some of the trade of China.
The part of Senator Teller's declaration
which surprises, aye, amazes, is that the
United States should join Great Britain" in
a protest which would be likely to involve
us in war. Great Britain is the leader of
what Mr.. Teller's political friends have de-
nounced as ''the gold-bug conspiracy against
mankind" 1t is the great money power of
the world which has cast down silver, and
which stands in the way of restoration
There was not a silver bowler on the stump
in 1896 who did not denounce Great Britain
as the foe of civilization because it had been
the first nation to establish the gold stand
ard. And now we have the spectacle of the
leading silver senator declaring that the
United States must join the nation which
stands for the money power in resisting the
division of China! To hold our own in the
foreign markets, to escape falling to a place
with third-class nations like Mexico, with
silver monometallism, we must join Great
Britain and thus become the ally OF the
power which represents goldbugism-such is
the declared opinion of the leading silver
senatorl

orr INTERESTS IN CHINA.

Recent events have caused some discussion
regarding our interests in China and what
the government ought to do in this or that
contingency to protect them. Some Euro
pean papers have declared that it would
not do to leave the United States out of the
reckoning. At first the English press
showed quite a disposition TO encourage, if
not an alliance, at least an understanding
between the two countries regarding a COM
mon line of action. but since England has
pulled herself together and developed a pol
icy of her. own there has not been so much
of that. England does not want any allies
as long as she is able to take care of her
self. and if she can master the situation
and outbluff the European powers she would
rather do it alone than with the material
aid or moral backing of the United States.
Mr.. Bull does not like to be under any sort
of obligation to anybody if he can avoid it,
and generally he is able to avoid it.
No doubt the question of our interests in
China has 10 some extent, engaged the at
tention Of the government but. considering
their nature and the improbability that any
necessity viii arise for protecting them. it
is not likely the administration has given

a Mvsterious Murder.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Jan. THE police
are investigating one of the most mysteri-

The Journal has frequently declared that
it has no reason to admire Senator Hanna
but it is not Senator Hanna as a man or a
personality that is involved in the remark
able struggle now going on in Ohio. If it
were a contest between Mr.. Hanna and
some other Republican for the nomination
for senator the Journal would be very likely
to perfer his opponent
1t is not a question of a caucus nominal
ton. Mr.. Hanna has been nominated by
his party for United States senator. The
convention which nominated tie Repub-
lican state ticket nominated Mr.. Hanna
with the same unanimous voice as it did
Governor Bushnell. More than that, all of
tie Republican county conventions, for the
most part, by unanimous expression, de-
clared for Mr. Hanna for senator. Every
Republican member of the Legislature
stands instructed by the convention which
nomins ted him to vote for Hanna
for senator. The Republicans when they
voted for these senators and represent
atives did so with the understanding that
they would vote for Mr.. Hanna. His NOM
ination is the same kind that Governor For
aker had when he was elected two years
ago. If ever a man had the popular in
dorsement Of his party for senator, Mr..
Hanna has.
There is something more: What becomes
of the faith which the public puts in the
pledges of men elected to public office if it
comes to be regarded as right for them to
turn their backs upon platforms and
pledges? So long as there is represent
alive government there will be parties.
Such being the case. it is of the utmost
Importance that the men chosen to rep
resent them keep their pledges and stand
by the party faith as expressed in plat
ferns. If prominent men in parties do not
keep the pledges made to thousands of
people, other men will come to think that
individuals may break promises with i'm
punity, so that promise breaking may be-
come general and the common faith which,
in a certain sense, holds communities to-
gether may be destroyed Those independ-
ent and sound-money papers which affect
thing apart from the people, are now carl
caturing Mr. Hanna as if he were the only
man involved in. the Ohio contest If they
will look a little deeper than caricaturing
Hanna involves a treachery to principle
and recreancy to pledges which no thought
full man can afford to make light of.

The Prize-Fight Promoter Trying to
Get "Fitz'' and Corbett.

CHICAGO, Jan. dan A. Stuart ar
rived in Chicago to-day and tomorrow will
leave for St. Paul, where he will endeavor
to secure the signature of Fitzsmmons to
articles calling for another fight with Cor
bett, to take place in July or August
Everything depends" said Stuart, ION the
attitude Fitzsimmons may assume. 1t is
settled fact, / think, that Corbett will not
fight Maher before he fights Fitzsimmons
again, and l am not considering any such
contingency 1t is Fitzsimmons and Corbett
or nothing, although if l cannot secure this
fight | might offer a purse for Corbett and
Maher.''
Regarding the battle ground, Mr.. Stuart
said he had two places under consideration
-one in Nevada and one about four hours
ride from the mainland, somewhere IN
Southern waters around the Gulf of Next
CO." The articles which will be submitted
to Fitzsimmons provide that Stuart and the
TWO principals are to select the referee
and Stauart announces fatty that he pre-
fers George Sier. In case he signs Cor
bett and F'itzsimmons Stuart says he VIII
offer a purse for Mccoy and Mitchell or
Mccoy and Choynski as side attraction;
He is also willing to sign F1tzsimmons ana
