IT SEEMS that all news from China,
whether it come from Chinese or Eu.
ropesn sources, is utterly unreliable,
and that even that sent here by Ameri'
can consuls at China's open ports, is en-
tirely untrustworthy, that sent by one,
contrsdicting that dispatched by
another. Indeed, so plain is this that
few people having anything else to do
now take the time that is required to
read accounts of army movements in
China. This mornings were to the eff.
ect that the allied forces there either
have, or have not, advanced toward
Pekin, but which nobody could tell,
not even those on the spot.

MONDAY EVENING. AUG. 6, 1900.

THE republican managers don't DE-
lieye that the working people OF THIS
country have common sense, but they
are as mistaken about that, as they are
about many other things, and when
thew tell the men they take for simple
tons. that prosperity is prevalent every
where. and that, instead OF being dis
satisfied, they should be throwing up
their caps for JOY at the alleged exist

many of them as they suppose they do'

some years ago, as the house owner
does that his rents are not as profitable
as they we're, and be has no respect ior
the intelligence and sincerity OF the

Hot Wave in Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Chicago gasps un-
der the spell of neat wave which broke
the records for twenty-four years. Ex-
hausted citizens are neglecting bust.

the roasting sun. The street level tenn
perature since Friday has been SO de-
grees, with drop to so in the coolest
hours. Four heat prostrstions, two OF
which were fatal, are reported for Sun
day. A horse crszed by the heat dashed
through a plate glass window fatally
iniuring itself.

THOUSANDS of the laborers who were
induced to strike by the newspaper
accounts OF the immense profits their
employers were making by the alleged
revival OF business prosperity, after
losing their wages for several months,
have gone back to work on the same
terms they were receiving when they
struck. That they are doing so, may
look like all pervsding prosperity to q
man up tree, but that it does not do
so to one on the ground, goes without
saying. The republicans will have to
change their tune, and make something
else than alleged prosperity, the chief
cry Of their present campaign.

AT THE first brush with the Chinese.
after leaving Tientsin, the allied forces
lost twelve hundred men. At the next
one they will probably lose twelve
thousand. The Chinese loss is not
stated, but if it was twelve hundred
thousand. it would make DO difference
to the Chinese government, and three
hundred millions of Chinese people
would never know anything about it.
