THE FUTURE of CHINA.

The future of China is just now the sub
ject of a great deal of speculation, partic-
ularly in Europe. The return of Lord
Charles Beresford to London has intensi-
fed the interest in it. He was sent to
China by the London Chamber of Com
merce for the purpose of finding out the
exact situation there The conclusions
which he reached are pretty well-known
in this country He made them known in
interviews and after-dinner speeches
when he was here a few weeks ago. His
opinion is that the Chinese empire will be
broken up and divided among the nations
of Europe in the very near future unless
England and the United States together
take stand in favor of preserving the
integrity of the empire In fact, he said,
when he was in New York, that unless
England, Germany. Japan and the United
States form a combination for the preser-
walton of the integrity of the territory OF
China the Chinese empire viii soon be
among the things of the past
And 1t looks very much as if he were
right. England, Russia, Germany and
of China, and now Italy is insisting upon
a share. 1t is understood also that Bel
GUM and Austria are preparing to de-
mand a share of the practically defense
less empire. Each one begins by de-
manding a port somewhere on China .
coast, and when they have obtained it,
they proceed to claim and take possession
of the country back of it. That is the
course which Russia. England Germany
and France have pursued. and it is APP
parent that other nations intend to pur-
sue the same course.
What the outcome is going to be is evil
dent unless something is done to keep the
empire intact. And it is supposed that
each of the nations which acquire terri
tory viii insist upon monopolizing the
trade of the territory it controls. For the
rights and interests of the natives no one
seems to care.
If the Chinese had the least bit of ma
tional feeling and a competent leader they
could of course, defend themselves, be-
cause they have the men for great armies
and il would not be impossible for them
to get arms and ammunition. But they
have no patriotism and no leader. They
are as helpless as a great steamer on The
dean without steam and rudder
1t is a question whether the proposition
of Lord Charles Bcresford viii command
sufficient support to insure such COM
bination for the preservation of the Chi
nese empire as he proposes. To follow
his lead In the matter would mean war
and the Powers are not anxious for war
England no doubt would gladly do some
thing to save China from disruption, rot
that she has any sympathy for China,
but because she is now enjoying the bulk
OF the Chinese trade and hopes to keep
all she has, but there is nothing to indi-
cate that the United States or even Ger
many would raise a hand in Chinas be-
half II looks. therefore, as if in the
course of a few years China would be
shorn of about all of her most valuable
provinces.

The killing of The Filipinos apparently
does not diminish their fighting efficiency.
since they have great many more men
than they have guns. AS quickly as one
insurgent is shot down another picks up
his gun and goes on fighting. Very few
of the enemy's guns have been captured.
BY shrewd means they manage to keep
their arms out of reach of the Americans.
They can spare men, but not arms. What
Gen. OTIS viii try to do, therefore, win be
10 cut of their supplies of arms and am
munition. and to capture all of each that
be can.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
New York can endure which forgets it's
| fighters Perhaps true. But there are ways
and ways of remembering party fighters.
| one way is 10 send the deserving to the
pie-counter if there is room and another
| is to send the rascals to the penitentiary.
A combination of both ways, though sell
dom practced. is the best method of not
forgetting party fighters"
The Hartford Times Dem) says: THE
Virginia Court of Appeals, which is soldly
Democratic has rendered a unanimous de-
cision which declared unconstitutional the
act passed by the last legislature in rela-
ton to the punishment of contempt cases.
The measure was designed to carry out the
declaration of the platform of the Demo-
cratic national convention at Chicago
against government by injunction, and pro-
vided for jury trials for cases of con-
tempt alleged to have been committed out
of the presence of the courts"
The Birmingham News (Dem.) comment
ing on the correspondence between Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Belmont respecting the at
tendance of the former upon the dinner of
the Democratic 0tuD Ol NEW lOfhs says
Mr.. Belmont replied courteousy. He
said that the invitation was extended on
behalf of the club and that individual opin-
ions had not been considered. The reply
was. Of course. unsatisfactory to Mr.. Bry-
an, as Mr.. Belmont did not announce his
conversion 10 the Chicago platform. and
Mr. Bryan will not sit at the feast of the
New York Democrats. II Mr.. Bryan starts
out on the campaign of 1900 by rejecting
in advance the support of all those Demo-
Gratis who failed to vote for him and his
platform in 1896 he win make a very bad
beginning. He certainly cannot hope to
win BY pursuing such a course"

The Minnesota Supreme Court has just
affirmed decision of a lower court which
held that a telegraph company was liable
for damages for the transmission of libel
lous matter over its wires. In the case
under consideration it appears that the IL
bel had been seen by only two parties,
the companys agent who transmitted the
message and the agent who received it,
besides the man who wrote it and the man
to whom it was addressed. The court held,
nevertheless, that the libel had been pub
lished to the receiving agent by the com
pany through the sending agent, and that
therefore the company was liable. The
lower court found verdict for $4,000 dam
ages. The Supreme Court said the prin-
ciple was correct but the damages exces-
sive; that the damages should not have
been more than s., 900. Unless the complain
ant consents to a reduction of the amount
to 81, 900, the case will go to trial again.

The Washington Post has been asking
some well informed politicians what they
think of Mr.. Hobart's chances for being
on the next national Republican ticket
The majority of opinion seems to be that
he will not be nominated. The Washington

writing upon the same subject. calls at
tention to the fact that vice president
has never been re-nominated. If preced-
ent is sufficient ground upon which to base
prediction, then it would seem that Mr..
Hobart's chances are few. Some Of the
politicians interviewed by the Stars cor
respondent expressed the opinion that New
Jerseys corporation laws, If nothing else
stood IN the way, would be sufficient TO
keep New Jersey man on the ticket next
year. 1t is pretty well understood that
one of the strongest planks that VIII be
put into the next Democratic platform
will be against trusts. The majority of
the great trusts are organized under New
Jersey laws, which are extremely liberal
to corporations. The New Jersey legisla-
ture is Republican. and Mr.. Hobart is in
close touch with the party in that state.
Thus it would not be difficult for cam
paign orators to trace a connection be-
tween the trust builders and Mr.. Hobart,
to the detriment of the ticket. 1t is be-
lieved in Washington that a Western man
