Congressman Catchings of Mis-
sissippi has uttered a sentiment
which the bleeding democracy
should bind as tablet on its
riyen heart, which the same it is
this:
Drop free silver, drop fusion
ism, drop the cry of govern.
ment by injunction, drop the
cry Of imperialism and militar-
ism, drop all discussion about the
Philippines until peace has been
restored; drop appeals to the pas,
sions and prejudices of the idle
and disconnected. Revive the fed
eral question of taxation, teach
the Democratic doctrine that peo-
pie cannot be made rich by taxing
them, assail the favcritism and
wrongs Of a high protective tariff,
stand for the control of trusts and
combines by met rods not oppres-
sIve; demand enlargement of the
powers of the interstate commerce
commission and the liberal i'm,
provements of harbors and insist
on local self.government and let
the next presidential candidate
remain at home during the cam
paign.
The democratic party might
work from now until 1904 and 1t
couId't find more sensible and
comprehensive platform than
that.

ice, Joined the Chinese customs service
as deputy commissioner in 1859 and was
appointed in 1868 inspector general of
customs, which post he had held ever
since. 1t was by the treaty of 1858 that
the customs system was adopted which
now prevails in all the ports of China
and over which he had supervision, con-
trolling a small army of officials con-
sisting of some 800 foreigners and 5000
or 1000 natives.
Sir Robert was conspicuous illustra-
ton of the fact that probity and integ-
rity are sometimes held in esteem even
by the Chinese government, and his
case proves that such qualities can be
and are appreciated by such officials as
are not directly benefited by the univer-
sal squeeze which it has always been
the custom OF the mandarins to effect
for their own enrichment. He had been
the means of saving many millions to
the government, and consequently his
home and headquarters in Picking were
palatial with retinues of servants and
suboficials to do his bidding and all
the outward luxury of a native prince
Notwithstanding the immense riches
which he must have accumulated, he at
last accounts was working with as
great devotion as he had ever shown

almost to pieces by the concentered
fire of several of the enemy's, he came
out of the fight a physical wreck, and
for months was in hospital before re-
turning to this country, where at last
he died from their effects, having vir-
tually given his life for the cause to
which he had devoted his best years.
These are some of those who have been
of greatest benefit to China; but that
they are not all is shown by the pres
ence of Germans, Russians and some
English, who have given her soldiery in
struction in military tactics, the result
of which has been noted in the deter
mined resistance to the allies and the
accurate gun fire the Chinese have dis
played of late.
No Americans have been accused of
aiding the common enemy in this man
ner; neither have they manifested a
disposition to pounce upon China in de-
fiance of the treaty rights which were
mutually secured by Ward and Bur
lingame If underlying all this miser-
able business, with its mutual suspi-
cions and recriminations, there seems
to be a belief on the part of all con-
cerned that the United States will do
what is fair, it is owing to the fact that
as a nation we have ever kept faith
with China in the past.

s1RERIAN ExILE ABoLIsHrD.

The world is about to see the last of
the horrors of Siberian exile. This sys-
tenn has been one of the worst institu-
tions in the administration of Russian
affairs Half of the unfortunates who
have been its victims never went
through any form of trial A large
proportion of these were hurried
across the frontier to be buried alive in
the wilds of Siberia, to suffer the knout
and other barbarities imposed by the
merciless penal governors, without
knowing what offenses they were sup
posed to have committed. Suspicion of
plotting against the state was a suffi-
cient cause for deportation.
Siberia became a penal colony in the
middle of the seventeenth century. I'm
der Nicholas nearly $4,000 Poles were
transported there. During the nine
teenth century it is estimated that
nearly, if not quite, 100000 men, women
and children were sent into Siberian ex-
lie, for Russian despotism was no re-
specter of person, sex, condition or age.

accomplishing what Admiral Seymour

to do this year in a similar attempt to
reach the capital of China. They show

taught them to respect their treaty OBJ

finally ratified the same month at Tien-

who had been in China so years and
was interpreter for Minister Reed in the
treaty negotiations of 1858. Aside from
his work as a missionary DR.. Martin
has been invaluable to China in his ca
pacity as an educator, having been pro-
lessor of international law in the Tong
Weng college, and when the Imperial
university at Picking was established he
became its president. 1t might seem in
vidious to mention one only of the
missionaries who have given their lives
to China, but space will not allow any
depression in this direction.
In scanning the names of those Amer
leans who have been prominent in re-
cent Chinese history one appears of
worldwide fame. He was Arson Bur-
lingame, who was appointed by Presi-
dent Lincoln minister to China and
who, in 1867, became special envoy from
that nation to all the great powers for the
purpose of framing treaties of amity.
AS an American minister had been the
first in this century to reach Picking
and conclude a treaty with China with
out force, as an American soldier had
first taught the Chinese how to fight,
so it was reserved for an American
diplomatist to be the first to introduce
China to the great powers of the world
IAN honor never before conferred
upon foreigner"
Ihat wonderful diplomatic tour
around the world, when for the first
time China was placed in official COM
munication with the United States,
England, France, Sweden, Holland,
Denmark, Prussia and Russia, was I'm
happily brought to a termination by
the death of Mr.. Burlingame at ST. Pc
tersburg; but the moral effect of that
mission of peace will never be lost.
The last American to be named is
that hero of the naval battle of the
Yalu, Captain Philo N. McGifin, who
commanded the Chinese warship Chen
Yuen. He was given a position of
great trust and creditably performed it;
but his sailors, engineers and gunners
shirked their duties, and he could not
cope with the better trained and dis
ciplined men of the Japanese fleet. Cow
