LATEST reports from China, COM
ing through Chinese sources, are
that the foreigners at Pekin are all
alive and are about to start for Tien
Tsin under escort. The United
States has undertaken to mediate for
China under certain conditions,
which are said to be the delivery at
some convenient seaport of Minister
Conger and all the other Ministers
and foreigners. The United States
is quite alone in its position. In
fact all the other Powers refuse to
believe any news coming through
Chinese sources; or to pay any at
tentien to them. So strongly are
they opposed to the policy of the
United States that the start of the
relief column is still delayed. If
the conditions of President McKin-
ley's offer of mediation are accepted
the relief column Is unnecessary,
provided, of course, the news of
the safety of all the foreigners is
true. An edict has been issued by
China saying settlement will be
made for all damage, save at Tien
Tsin, where it puts the blame on
the Powers.

The public charities of Tenness

The public charities of Tennessee
are vast, requiring the appropria
tion of several hundred thousand
dollars biennially. They are on q
scale worthy of an enlightened and
generous christian people. The tax
payers bear such burdens patiently,
great as they are, asking only that
the money shall 60 to those unfor-
tunate creatures and not be consum-
ed in extravaganza. 1t should be
accounted a sacred fund, and it
would be a great crime to take il
from them by boodling or pecula-
ton. Those officials who do their
duty in guarding this fund should
meet with the highest commentator
from their fellow citizens. Certain
ly it would be a vicious public pol
icy to turn them off in disgrace when
they had done their duty. If their
terms were expired, they should be
reappointed again and again, so long
as they continued faithful and hon
est. For one, we cannot believe
that the public sentiment of the
people of Hardeman County can
ever justify a different course.
