What The British Soldier IS Fighting
For.
There was residuum of norrid reality
in the reply of the warrior at the front
whose parents had asked him for help TO
keep them out of the workhouse. He
told them, as we related yesterday, to
wait till he returned when they could
all ''go to the workhouse together"
Writing from Modder River corporal
III the Black Watch complains that out
of shillings week he must pay 1
shilling for small pot Of jam and the
same sum for eighteen very small bis
cults. Milk costs | shilling a tin, and
then there is tobacco. No wonder the
workhouse looms ominously-L London

The protest of the business men and
property owners of Cuba against 100 much
haste in turning the island over TO The
Cubans must have taken that element Of
the Cuban population that is clam11ing
for immediate Independence somewhat by
surprise. The thinking men CT the island
fear that If those who are now in favor
with the masses were to be given control
of public affairs, there would be sad tines
for Cuba, and there are reasons for think
ing that they are right. From all ac-
counts they are politicians who are n
politics for all they can make oct Of it,
II they had the making Of constitution
and the laws they would create a public
debt a the outset that would be a heavy
burden on the people for a hundred Yeas
and perhaps for a longer period.
Those who have something al stake
would like the United States 10 remain in
control until the people have had time 20
consider the situation carefully ard dacld
what is best for them. As a matter Of
fact they would like the island annexed
90 this country, but they understand that
annexation is hardly likely TO be popula
until the Cubans have had a taste of
self-gcvernment.
There are likely to be troublous times
in Cuba before liberal and stable gov
eminent is established there If the Uni
ted States were to withdraw from the is
land now there would be revolutions and
anarchy for while at least There would
be a worse state of affairs than II ere
ever was under Spanish rule 1t is true
that order might be brought out of chaos
in time, but not until the island had been
given a setback from which IL would take
il years 20 recover.
But unless the United States make
some show of bringing their military oc-
cupation to a close there will be disturb
ances probably that will require interior
ence by the military force. The United
States would, of course, check them quick
~, aud they would not BE- very gentle in
doing it. That is why the property owning
class and the business men want The Uni
ted States TO 90 very slow Ia prepl RAG

4 Truthful wedding Report.

Willie Shortlke and Annie Boomers were
married al the church last evening,
says the Indianapolis News. The church
was very prettily decorated with flowers
and potted plants. borrowed promiscuous-
ly from over town from people who didn't
want TO lend them. The decorating was
done under protest by some of the mem
bers of the church who were asked TO do
50 by the bride and couldn't well refuse.
The ladies' are of the opinion that if the
couple were so bent on having a stylish
wedding they should have been willing to
have paid some one 10 chase all over the
for day getting flowers together and
then taking them home again.
The bride wore a handsome Silverstein
gown (made at home), and the groom was
decked out in a ten-dollar hand-me-down
suit. The ushers wore cutaway coats Dor
rowed for the occasion. Sallie Potts was
maid of honor, and the consensus of opin-
ion was that she was two TO one better
than the bride. The young couple took the
morning train for St. Louis, where they
will spend more money in a few days than
Willie can earn in three months.
Willie says that, now he's married, he's
going to settle down. Some of our mer-
chants thirsI IL would be better had he seb-
tied up first. The groom gets a salary of
S27 month, which is about the allowance
Annie has been used to for pin money.
We wish. for Willes sake, that the old
saying that it takes no more to support two
than one wasn't lie.
The bride sent US shoe box full of a
conglomeration of stuff supposed to be
cake. If this is a sample of Annies cook
ing we feel sorry for Willie. Our jani-
tors dog fell heir to the cake, and now he
is lying in the cold, cold ground. But this
wedding is none of our funeral If Willie
and Annie are satisfied we've got no kick
coming.

CHINA'S PERIL.

The situation in China becomes daily
more alarming 1t is now well under
stood that the Dowager Empress, who Is
the real power In the empire, is in sym
PATTY with the Boxer movement She
wants the foreigners driven out of China,
and nine-tenths Of the Chinese agree with
her.
But II will not be an easy matter to
drive the foreign element out. The Pow
ers, which have a foothold there, intend
to remain. They are ready to use force
to hold on to what they have. They are
considering the question of the advisable
ity OF doing more than that The young
Emperor of China, who is virtually pris-
oner in his palace, has invited the Powers
to establish a protectorate over the en-
pire. This Invitation Will not change their
policy In respect TO China in the least
because they do not regard the Emperor
as being of any Importance.
If they decide that their interests re-
quire them to take possession of China
the wishes of the Emperor in the matter
will not receive much, if any, considera-
ton from them. They will do what they
regard as the best thing for their own
interests.
The resistance of China would not be
very great. 1t is believed that 100000 we'll
equipped and thoroughly disciplined sol
diers could overrun the whole country, not
withstanding the fact that its population
is believed to be 400O00000
But the Chinese would not be conquered
If their country should be overrun and a
European garrison should occupy every
town. The resistance they would offer
would be Of such a character that an army
of a million Europeans could not wholly
conquer them in a hundred years. They
would not organize armies and fight great
battles, because they do not know how,
and they lack leaders, but they would
persistently but quietly resist every effort
to Introduce a different civilization.
Against the beliefs and prejudices of such
a vast population it would be difficult to
make any Roadway.
The chief protection of China against
dismem berment is the impo.ssihility of
The Powers of Europe agreeing among
themselves upon policy. They are jeaI-
Gus of each other and although they are
acting in harmony now in the effort to
check the Boxer movement, they would
be fighting each other in a short time if
steps should be taken looking to division
of the empire among the commercial ma
tions.
Just what will he the outcome of
the present troubles of the empire it is
impossible to predict with any degree of
certainty. II is within the bounds of prob
ability that half dozen of the Powers
will be at war with each other on Chinese
territory within a year 1t is a source of
satisfaction that the United States are
not making any alliances for the purpose
Of suppressing disturbances in China
They are acting Independently, but appar-
emily, energetcally, for the protection OF
American interests

COTTON Planters ORGANIZING.

Mr.. Harvie Jordan. of Monticello, Ca
president of the Georgia Cotton Growers
Protective Association, has gone to work
vigorously 10 organize sub-organizations
in every cotton-growing county in the
state. \ constitution and bylaws for
such organizations have been prepared,
and copies of them have been widely
scattered.
1t is well understood what the purpose
of this association is. 1t was stated in
all of the papers of the state at the
time it was formed at Macon. The cotton
growers believe that by marketing their
cotton judciously they will be able to
get a very much better price for II. They
have gone over their plans very thor
oughly. and they believe they are about
as complete as they can be made.
It is undoubtedly true that in the early
part OF the season cotton is thrown on
the market in a volume that has ten
dency 10 break down its price. So much
cotton coming to market In a short time
gives the impression that the crop is a
large one. AS soon as the spinners get
this impression they begin to scheme to
get cotton at a lower price. BY holding
back their orders they affect the mar
ket injuriously.
With the help of the bankers and mer-
chants the cotton growers expect by
means of their organization, 10 market
J their crop in such way THAI at no time
will the supply greatly exceed the de-
mand. The cotton will be held back at
the farms and in warehouses until there
4 is a demand for it az a price that will
/ yield the growers a fair profit
Another thing the association will do Is
! this: 1t will gather facts respecting the
| crop, so that 1T will not be possible for
/ spectators 10 mislead the country as to
what the actual condition of the crop is.
/ Heretofore the European spinners,
through their agents, have endeavored to
bring down the price of cotton in the
early part of the season. by sending out re-
ports, when there was a favorable oppor-
tunity for doing so, that the crop was a
| very large one The association will get
it's reports through the ginners and from
the secretaries of its sub-organizations
In that way it's statistics VIII. in all
probability be reliable. The outlook for
che success of the association is proms-

The Statement made by Senator Jones
in Chicago on Monday, that ne will not
eudeavor 10 persuade Mr.. Bryan to drop
the IS to l idea, and that there will pc
no abandonment of any issue that is in
the Chicago platform, ought to be sufil-
cient to set at rest the many rumore pub
iished in the Western papers, that the
Democratic party has practically decided
TO drop silver 1t looks very much as if
the Republicans were more anxious than
the Democrats to have the silver issue
kept out of the campaign. because the Re
publican papers are made the means OF
spreading the rumors that the Democrats
have become satisfied that they cannot
win with the IS to l idea in their plat-
form
1t is probable that an effort will be made
to keep the silver issue in the background
a Kansas City. The action of the Dem
ocrats of Maryland, New York and In
diana In their state conventions, indicates
as much, but as yet there are no
signs that it would be successful Mr.
Bryan will be consulted about the matter
and his advice will be followed. He has
given no intimation of willingness %
make the silver question less prominent
than it was in 1886.
In some Of the Chicago papers Senator
Hanna is quoted as saying that he has
no doubts that the Democratic leaders have
practically agreed that silver must be
abandoned and that they viii get the
consent of Mr. Bryan to virtually eliml-
nate it from the platform. Senator Han
na however, is not in the confidence Of
the Democratic leaders. He has no means
of knowing what their plans are. What
he gays about the plans and purposes Of
the Democrats therefore does not count
for much
Senator Jones, the chairman of the Dem
ocratio National Committee, is in a posi-
ton 10 know what the leaders of his par
~ intend TO do in the matter of plat
form, and, as already stated. he declares
that no issue of the Chicago platform will
be abandoned. It is about certain there
fore, that the silver issue will figure prom
inentiy in the Kansas city platform.
