per put forth since the dawn Of his
tory. and it abuses every other news
paper in the land that does not join
in it's ridiculous panegyric-
This editor should endeavor to re-
strain his fine frenzy. Perhaps there
may be some people who are perfectly
willing to give full credit to the author
of that note. TO admit that the Iu
thor, whoever he may be, had the
discretion to take the only course open
to d sensible diplomat but who are
not quite able. with the light before
them, to determine whether the credit
is due Secretary Hay or NJ. Delcasse.
1t Is true. the Frenchman seems to
have a priority right, but it may be
that Secretary Hay never read the
French note. although it was published
three days before the American secre-
tary announced his reply, and even if
he did see it, the striking Similarity
of the two notes is no proof that he
borrowed the French secretary'S ideas.
Hence we are inclined to stretch a
point in Mr. Hays favor and let what
ever credit is due be divided equally
between him and NJ. Delcasse. Secre-
tary Hay is especially entitled to this
consideration, inasmuch as his adop-
ton of the French note is his only
achievement since he made himself the
laughing stock of the world in the
Nicaragua canal affair.
The sDasms of laudation in which
our local contemporary INDUCES are
quite excusable. 1t is so extremely
rare that the Mckinley administration
performs an act that honest men can
endorse that when the occasion does
arise every Hanna editor in the land
is entirely justified in standing upon
his head and cracking his heels in an
exuberance of joy.

CHINESE MINISTERS.

The newspapers of the various cOun-
tries affected by the Chinese trouble
are devoting considerable space these
davs to the ministers from China with
whom they have diplomatic dealings
and through whom negotiations for
final settlement. if war can be avoided,
must be made.
The London Chronicle pays a high
tribute TO Sir Chichen Lofengluh, the
Chinese envoy extraordinary and min
lister plenipotentiary to the court of ST.
James, whose ability as diplomat II
rates as frst-class. notwithstanding the
nopular notion of Chinese ignorance
and incompetency. He is described as
a middle-aged man with black stray
Cling moustache, who always wears
gold-rimmed spectacles-the typlcal
high class Celestial, in fact. His Eng
fish is excellent and quite colloquial,
and he can make a very good after
dinner speech. He, of course, prefers
Chinese cooking TO that of Europeans,
but has taken kindly to British bever-
ages. especially stout. A great patron
of the theatre, with a weakness for
musical comedy and light farce, Lofen-
gluh is the personal friend of many
actors and actresses.
The chief obstacle to his popularity
is a doubt as to whom he represents at
the English court. for the suspicion is
current that there is no Chinese gov
concentrating but reign of an
archy in his country. Still, If war
should be declared, Sir Chichen would
be handed his passports, which would
amount to a recognition of his govern
ment-
In the event of war the whole civil
lied world would be practically arrayed
against China, and it would be diff
cult matter for Chinese ministers TO
find neutral ground to which to flee
from the wrath to come.

GENIUS AND INSANITY.

Charles A. Hoyt, the American play
wright, rs committed to the Connec1-
cut insane asylum yesterday. 1t has
been observed that the line between
genius and insanity is narrow one
and that men who devote their whole
time and talent to a particular art or
line of study are more than apt to De
driven mad by overwork and the de-
mands made upon them by the world.
This is a topic frequently discussed
in literary circles and has been
matter of great concern among actors
artists and authors. This country, in
tensely practical. is not so rich in gen
fuses that it can afford to lose single
one. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Hoyt
will soon recover and will emerge from
the mad} ouse with fresh material for
one of his characteristic productions.

it has been heretofore, to act concur

There was a time when it was the

it is the president. When the repuo-

people were sovereign and the chieI

CREDIT TO HAY.

Last week the Chinese government
sent to the governments of France,
Germany and the United States an ap-
peal for mediation between China and
the foreign powers. In this appeal
each government was informed that
China looked to it as its only hope"
The replies of the French and German
governments were made public last
Saturday. The reply of the United
States was not made public until three
days later, and it was then shown that
the notes from the French and Amer
lean governments were identical in sub
stance, although d'rEering in phrase
ology, Secretary Hay being somewhat
more verbose than NJ. Delcasse. Each
government laid down certain condi-
lions upon which it would mediate, the
more important demands being that
the Chinese government give positive
proof of the safety of the legations and
take proper steps for the restoration
of order. The notes were good exam
pies of adroit diplomatic fencing, shift

Red Tape in Britain.

(LondOn Iit-BltS.)
A curious and amusing story is being
told respecting a young man who, being
the chief of the auditing department of
a certain railway company, had occasion
recently TO dictate a letter to the head
of a corresponding department OF another
railway There was a point IN dispute
between the two companies involving
money, and this young official had taken
the stubborn ground that the other Of
fetal was totally at fault, and advanced
what seemed to him unanswerable argu-
ments to prove it.
A short time after he had forwarded the
letter he received an offer of situation
from the other railway company, which
he accepted, and within a few days ne
became the head of the department with
which he had been in dispute. The first
letter which he found on the file ready 10
be answered was his own on the point IN
question.
There was only one thing to do He
Immediately dictated an answer TO his
own letter, refuting and repudlatlng Its
arguments, and wound up by the suggeS-
ton that the writer did not know his
business, OF course. the letter was ad-
dressed to himself and signed by himself.

FACTS VS.. FLAPDOODLE.

+ The evening Hanna organ indignant
ly denies the charge that it advocates
the killing of Christians in the Philip
pines; that it favors war. but no blood
shed.
1t denies that it urges the subjuga-
ton of alien races in the Orient. Yet
in the same issue it urges the subjuga-
ton of the Filipinos. Are they not an
alien race in the Orient?
1t denies that it would have the
American government hold 100000
people in vassalage, denying them any
constitutional rights. Yet this is the
avowed purpose of William Mckinley
and the Republican party. If the News
opposes it, what becomes of its claim
that there is nothing in the charge of
Imperialism?
1t denies that it believes it to be
right for the president to ''set aside the
constitution, ignore the expressed will
of congress and violate a sacred ma
tional pledge" We are glad to know
that the News disapproves these acts
of William Mckinley, and would be
pleased to know. further, by what mis-
leading term it would designate those
acts, if they are not acts of imperial
ism.
We would be pleased to know, also
how the Deseret News has been able
to change the criminal aggression" OF
1897 into the manifest destiny OF
1900
The News, like all other Mckinley or
gans, is defending imperialism with
high-sounding fiapdoodle. that means
nothing, establishes no point, and doe!
not come within hailing distance of The
specific acts and facts upon which TIT
anti-imperialists base their charges. L
requires much soaring and twisting anC
squirming to evade the issue, but TIT
News, like other defenders of the ad
ministration. is equal to the task.

DRAMAS OF LIFE.

Yesterdays dispatches recorded the
death of Herbert Simpson, a lawyer
and prominent criminalogist, who COM
mitted suicide at Wichita, Kan, to es-
cane arrest for embezzlement.
His had been promising although
a checkered career. Everything he
undertook he did and did well. from
handling expert witnesses in the court
room to theft and self-murder-
As a scientist he had attracted at
tention in Europe and wore a decora-
ton from King Humbert of Italy for
his achievements in this line. He
served in the French army with dis
tinction in Africa and won the cross
of the Legion of Honor for skill and
bravery in the assault upon the CAPT.
tai of Dahomey.
It's tragic ending makes his life
melancholy story. Unhappily, the news
of the world is full Of them. 1t is no
uncommon thing to read of brilliant
lives going out in darkness.
