ARE THE BOXERS JUSTIFIED


As fast as time allows China is fall
ing under the temporary scourge of
revolution. So far the government.
which is centered in the Tsung Ii Yamen
or foreign office, makes "A feeble effort
TO protect the lives of foreigners sojOurn-
ing ON Chinese soil. The effort howev-
er is unsatisfactory and it is generally
believed that the high Celestial officials
secretly urge the Boxers to continue
their dcpredations. From the most un-
Improbable authority, it is known that
Cinnamon, without respect to caste, or
utilization with secret societies, have an
Unborn and unshakable antipathy to
foreigners, whether they hail from Rus
STA, France, the United States or any
other country and now that revolution
holds sway over vast areas of territory
in THAI land they will abandon them
selves to the preparation of the most
unique Cruelties on those who have
aroused their resentment.
The situation in the Flowery Kingdom
Is certainly ominOus and the outlook for
the future is gloomy. To read the ac-
counts makes the blood run cold One
can mentally see innocent persons pen
ned in by living walls of fanatical Box
ers, who are ready to spill blood M u
palliative to their hatred But back Of
all this turmoil, hidden somewhere in
the Mongolian heart is IA cause for this
mad passion. and from u Chinese view
point 1t may be justified. For very
many years now, China has been the
object of European commercial greed
Each of the nations recognize that this
great oriental center is II profitable field
for trade aggressions, from which cnor-
nous wealth must accrue The govern
mcnts of these respective countries have
played hand in hand with the traders
aud believing the Mongolian nation is
topheavy and lngubrious they insoent-
ly started in 10 divide the empire into
spheres of influence, in which they
could separately prosecute their search
for riches While the Chnanan appar-
entity may be obduratc and sleepy, This
aggraudiZing fact has penetrated his
skull which forces him to throw off his
lctlargy and grid himself for the fray
and for his own protection. The Chinese
rank and file are not SO stupid as not to
know that the allied powers are Jealous
Of one another and that one cannot act
alone without suspicion being awakened
in the breasts of the others And he
will take advantage If this fact, which
must greatly hamper the work of the
allied armies It was only natural in
cidcnt to the uprising that unjust out
RACES should result; that excuses of the
grosScst kind should east II pail over the
hand, that innocent persons should BE-
sacrificed, that trade should be stited
and that death grim figure should stalk
over the land gathering in his harvest
This il the way ever of revolutions.
Should the powers however, decide
that one of their number be assigned
the task of ~ubduing the Boxers and it
will hc Japan then it may result in the
pacificnilon and rcvivivication of that
ancient people

No word can be spoken which is more
detestable to liberty loving free men

the cost Of sustaining vast army must
UNNECESSARILY increase. Prior to the
war with Spain this countrys annual
military appropriations amounted to
less than $50, 600, 600 but with the ma
turing of the armament plans of the
Mckinley administration this sum will
be quadrupled and the American public
will be- taxed proportionatcly To show
the trend in which we are running let

IS MAYOR ROSE A CANDIDATE2

Several men have been spoken of rs
likely nominees for the gubernatorial
offic: on the Democratic ticket The
two whose names are the most promin-
ent are Louis Bohmrich of kenosha and
Mayor David S. Rose of Milwaukee.
Either of these men will make an excel
lent campaign, and there is every prob
ability that should one of them be nom
mated, he will he elected. Mayor Rose
Is an aggressive campaigner. With him
at the head of the ticket il would mean
sure victory. So far in any political Of
flee he has run for he has been over
whelmingly in the lead and this fact
things being equal We understand,
however, that if the Milwaukee MAYOR
consults his own personal preference,
he would be disinclined to accept the
nomination, yet if duty demanded and
it was unmistakable, he might be in
duced to champion the Democratic cause
this fall
1t is admitted on all sides in Milwau-
kee, with the possible exception of The
Sentinel, that the mayor has given that
city a really good administration, and
that he is eminently fitted for the larger
Office of chief executive of Wisconsin.
