The Menace TO Tein Tain.


London, July 5.-The oft-repeated
story of the massacre of all the foreign
ers in Pekin is being retold to-day with
a circumstantiality that well night con-
vinces those who have hitherto refused
to credit the sickening reports. The
only hopeful feature of the evil news Is
the fact that it comes from Chinese
sources at Shanghai, but it is realized
that, even If the tragedy has not yet
been enacted 1t cannot be long delayed
unless help comes. Even the holding of
Tien Tsin against the overwhelming
hordes now seems to be a very remote
possibility, while the safety Of other
treaty ports is seriously threatened.
A dispatch from Che Foo, dated yes
terday, voices a fear that, in view of
the imninence Of the summer rains, it
will be impossible for the joint forces to
advance to Pekin until autumn.
According to reports from Shanghai,
the Chinese army, on march south
ward from Pekin, has reached Lola.
This is presumably General Niehs-Si-
Chang'e force on it's way to attack Tien
Tsin. Another force OF 10000 Chinese
from Lutai has appeared northeast of
Tien Tsin, and is reported to have been
driven back by the combined forces of
Russia and Japan. The losses Of the
international forces We're heavy. The
native city, when captured, was hor-
rible spectacle, Chinese bodies lying
thick around the guns.
A news agency dispatch from Shang-
hal dated July 4, after reiterating the
statement that there has been heavy
fighting at Tien Tsin, adds that only
the arrival of 900 Japanese prevented
the capture of the town.

trifes or vague probabilities
The Daily Telegraph'e Lorenzo Mar
quez correspondent attempted on July
to interview President Kruger at Wa
terval Onder. President Kruger was
there, but he deputed State Secretary
Reitz to talk. The secretary said:

over again. The South African repub-

as 500 burghers remain alive, and even
then will continue to fight. Such is our

British Medical Journal, says he thinks

imperialism .hc Pnra,aouat Issue.

| ImperinIisut thc Paramount Issue.
The Importance Of other questions
| now pending before the American peo-
| pie is in no wise diminished and the
democratic party takes no backward
| step from it's position on them, but the
| burning issue of imperialism growing
| out of the Spanish war involves the
very existence of the republic and the
| destruction Of our free institutions. We
regard it as the paramount issue of the
campaign.
The declaration in the republican
platform adopted at the Philadelphia
convention held in June, 1900 that the
republican party "steadfastly adheres
to the policy announced in the Monroe
doctrine" is manifestly insincere and
deceptive. This profession is CONTRA
dicted by the avowed policy of that
party in opposition to the spirit of the
Monroe doctrine to acquire and hold
sovereignty over large areas of terri
tory and large numbers of people in the
eastern hemisphere. We insist on the
strict maintenance of the Monroe doc
trine and in all its integrity both in
letter and in spirit as necessary to pre-
vent the extension of European author
ity on this continent and as essential to
our supremacy in American affairs At
the same time we declare that no Amer
lean people shall ever be held by force
in unwilling subjection to European
authority.
Miiiiarism Oppusrd.
We oppose nilitarism. 1t means con-
quest abroad and intimidation and op-
preston at home. 1t means the strong
ann which has ever been fatal to free
institutions. 1t is what millions of our
people fed from in Europe. It will
impose upon our peace loving people
large standing army and unnecessary
burden of taxation and a constant men
ace to their liberties. A small standing
army and well disciplined state mill
tia are amply sufficient in time of
peace. This republic has no place for
vast military sarvice and conscription.
When the ration is In danger the volun-
teer soldier is his cOuntry's best de-
fender The national guard of the
United States should ever be cherished
in the patriotic hearts of free people.
Such organizations are ever an element
of strength aud safety. For the first
time in our history the co-evil with the
Philippine conquest has there been q
Wholesale departure from our time ton-
ored and approved system Of volunteer
We denounce 1t as un-
American un-democratic and un-re-

che TruSis,
Private monopolies are indefensible
and intolerable, They destroy competi-

and finished product, thus robbing
both producer and consumer. They
lessen the employment of labor, and

thereof and deprive individual energy
ard small capital Of their opportunity
for betterment
They are the most efficient means yet

such IL ticket was consequently

formidable opposition to the re

fusion of all the silver forces the

The delinquent tax sale list of
Sedgwick county appears on an
other page of this paper. The
list this year is much smaller than
| it has been for several years.
There are two chief reasons for
this. One is that considerable
portion of the unproductive lands
in the county are now owned by
the county; the other is that peo-
pie who have hitherto been un-
able to pay their taxes are this
year enjoying unusual prosperity
and in consequence are able to
pay all their obligations including
their taxes.
