1t is perhaps enthusiastically
appealed to each one of the Powers to
act as mediator between China and
all the Powers, in the present Difficult
~. In the regular run OF the circuit
he came To the United States and
seems to have rather more appealed
to it than to the others. President
Mckinley has formulated and for
warded his repy, taking occasion
therein to put the United States on
the same footing rs 1.-The other Pow
ers," and expressing Il Willingness to
undertake. the work of mediation il
the liberty and safety of the foreign
ministers he assured.
The publication Of the appeal and
reply was also made the occasion Of
promulgating what, if followed up,
will he a radical change for the better
in our policy in China. This is con-
tanned in the announcement that
should Europe prove obdurate the
United States will refuse to partici-
pate futher in hostilities and will
Withdraw. taking care only to safe
guard its proper interest. This can
not atone for the violence done to au-
thority ana precedent in ordering an
invasion of China in the first instance.
but it shows return to sanity and a
kecner appreciation of the dangers
involved in the folly of Imperialism.
Every American citizen would be
proud to have this government, act
ing as mediator by the consent of the
parties, bring order out of choas in
China and stay the slaughter that was
so ill-advised in the beginning, and
that threatens to reach proportions
that viii shock humanity. Here is a
role for which, in some sense, there
is precedent. and one that, il success
fully filled. would add a splendid
chapter TO the history of American
diplomacy Here is work vastly
different from blind and furious
onslaught on friendly nation in diff
hculties, or the secret assent to an
infamous concert TO dismember and
destroy it.
Ii Is OF Importance to this country
that Chinese integrity should be pre-
served The appeal that it use its
good offices in stopping hostilities
gives it an opportunity to peacefully
futher its own interests in this direc-
ton and to win the friendship of
China At the same time OF course it
all depends upon the fate Of
the legationers. If they have
persisted. the Powers will prob
ably not hear of mediation. In
that event it will be the duty of the
United States to refuse to participate
IN the scheme of greed to which it is
only too apparent the Powers would

The FRIENDLY HAND.
BY JAMES wHITCOMB RILEY.

When a man amt got cent, an he's feel
in kind O blue,
An the clouds hang dark an heavy, an
won't let the sunshine through,
It's great thing. Oh my brethren, for a
Teller just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder in friendly
sort o way.
It makes a man feel curious; it makes the
teardrOpS start,
An you sort o feel ftutter in the region
o your heart.
You can't look up an meet his eyes; you
don't know what to say.
When his hand is OC your shoulder IN
friendly sort o way.
Oh, the worlds a curious compound, with
its honey an its gall,
With its cares an bitter crosses, but
good world, after all.
An a good God must have made it-least-
ways, that's what ! say
When a hand rests on my shoulder in
friendly sort o way.
