Do You Think.

That national administration which
| went to the limit of violating neutrality
to aid an imperial government to destroy
two republics, can have very much re-
gard for republican institutions in its
own country?
DO you think that an administration
that circulates documents in defense
OF British Imperialism in the public
schools of America is not in favor of
imperialism at home?
Do you think that president who
desires to impregnste the minds of the
young with imperislistic ideas, does
not entertain imperialistic views him
self?
Do you think that president who
boasts that where thu flag goes up it
must never come down and then upon
demand of foreign country deliber.
ately hauls it down in the territory
bought and paid for by Americans, can
be sincerely patriotic?
Do you think that five years ago
when Nc kinley advocatedffee coinage
of silver he was right then and that
Bryan is wrong now?
Do you think that when Roosevelt
characterized democrat as being law
less and dishonorable that he told the
truth?
DO you think that u man who can
stand before a public audience and
thus asperse nearly one half of his
fellow citizens of the United States
is fit to preside over the United States
senate?
Do you think Schley and his dem
ocratic compeers in the navy are shirk-
ers of their duty?
Do you think tnedemocratic farmers,
business men and working men of
Iowa fit Rooseyelt's Characterization o.
democrats?
DO you think that when republican
leaders and candidates for high office
have no argument but vituperation
and indulge in Islander of democrats
in preference to presenting facts thst
they have good cause?
DO you think that man who can
deliberately apply vile epithets to dem.
ocrats would be fair and impartial
presiding officer over a body nearly one
half of which is comprised of dem.
ocrats?

Infatuated Italians Try to Avcnge Killing
of Fellow WOrkmen.
Edwardsville. Aug. 2.-The crew
Of Glover Leaf freight No. 40 had n
terrifying experience Mt Stallings,
where their train cut off the head of
an Italian, one of a gang employed by
the Illinois Central in grading ut that
point.
The train was stopped after the ac-
cident, and enraged by the loss of their
comrade 100 Italians swarmed around
the train crew, who tried in vain to
explain the circumstances. Several
attempted to use knives ON the train
men, who hurried, aboard and backed
to Madison, rs they could not get a
start in the other direction Oh account
of the grade. A fresh start was made
and the train went through Stallings
at II rapid rate.
The Italians had meantime secured
some guns, and the crack of rifles was
heard for a quarter of mile, as the
men along the track tried to shoot
through the caboose windows.

A CHINESE wEYLER.
Ii Ping Hung Is Master of Affairs Inside
of Pekin.

of Pelsin.
Shanghai, Aug. 6.-Sheng, the Chi
nese director of telegraphs, the only
Chinese official on the coast who is in
direct communication with the i'm
perial authorities at Pciin, tells what
happened up to Aug. 1. sums up the
situation there, and tells in unmistaka-
bic words what he believes the out
come will be. The American has told
how two members of the tsung-li-
yamen were put to death for alleged
friendliness to the foreigners.
Sheng confirms this, gives out for
ttle first time the names of the un.
fortunate officials.
The victims of Ii Ping Hung's
wrath We're Hsu Ching Cheng, former
~ minister to Russia and more recent
~ imperial director general of rail-
ways, and Yuan Chang. They had
been doing good work in suppressing
the Boxers and had supported the ef-
forts of Prince Ching to save the for
eign ministers and restore order in
pekin.
For this they incurred the displeas-
ure of LII Ping Hung, the butcher and
arch enemy of Christians, and, not

bers of the tsung-li-ynmen. they were
led out on July % and beheaded us Il
warning to Others who might seek to
befriend the besieged ministers. Prince
Ching protested. Sheng declares, but
his efforts were unavailing.
This puts a new and graver aspect
ON the situation in Pekin. Sheng de-
clarcs Ii Ping Hung, the Chinese
Weyler, is the master there. General
Tung Fuh Slang, Sheng declares, has
10000 troops, all wild demons, in the
vicinity of Peiin. He fears shat should
the allies force an entrance to Pekn
Tung Fuh Slang will compel the en-
peror and dowager empress to evacu-
ate the palace and place themselves I'M
der his protection. Then he will, most
likely. murder the foreign ministers.
Unless lung Fuh Siang is suppressed
Sheng fear that there is no hope for
the legations. Bloody massacres will
surely result

From the fact that the engagement
lasted seven and a half hours it is ar
gued in the department that either the
Chinese must have been heavily en-
trenched or that there was an i'm
mcnse horde Of them to so stubbornly
contest the advance of the 10000 In
ternationa1 troops. 1t is figured by
military experts that loss Of 1,2OO
killed and wounded on the part of the
allies probably means loss of from
three to six times as many by the
Chinese. The position of the United
States. Automatically, remains un-
changed. This government will not
consent to the removal of the minis
tiers aad foreigners FROM Pokin until
there is free communication by the
powers with their ministers. Nor
VIII this government consent to COM
munlcation in place language alone.
but insist that cipher messages must
pass freely between Minister Conger
and our state department.
Cannot Tell for Certain.
1t is emphatically stated that unless
such messages are exchanged the Unit
ed States cannot know beyond ques-
ton that the messages were not gar
bled and both the United States GOV
ernanent and the ministers misied.
There seems to be no doubt about the
safety of the ministers at Pekin for
the present, and that they will remain
where they will be able to protect
themselves, and will not be induced to
accept any offers of the Chinese gov
eminent to escort them to Tientsin
until they have had communication
with their governments. Confidence
is expressed, however, that the Chi
nese government will soon see the
necessity of accepting the terms laid
down In Secretary Hays note to Con-
sui GOOdnow.
