TROUBLES IN CHINA.

The Chinese soldiers get so per
year. No man can be expected to
be cheerful target at that price.
The President has determined
that the facts now known to us do
not require or justify the calling of
an extra session Of Congress.
1t is evidently difficult to lose
either the Empress Dowager or the
Emperor of China. Both are now
reported as egain alive and kicking.
Prince Tuau, who is leading the
rebellion in China, is said to have an
army of $4,000 men, organized il. to
four corps, for operations in Eastern
China.
It's officially reported that the Gov
ernor of Shautung has received news
that all the Ministers in Pekip, ex-
cept the German, were safe on
July 4.
The terms of an agreement between
the Chinese govern ent at Pekiu aud
Cardinal Rampolla del Tindaro,
Papal Secretary of State, have been
made public. This agreement gives
to Catholic prelates official standing,
enabling them TO deal personally
with the Chinese Viceroys and Gov
ernors instead of through consuls.
The Catholic Church has over
500, 900 adherents in China. There
are no missionaries from America but
a large number from France. with
some few from other Catholic Euro
pean countries. Catholic Bishops
in China have the rank Of Governors
or Viceroys.
The latest news from China saws
that the legations are daily bonn
barded. Ammunition is running
short. Danger of massacre is i'm
minent. Prompt relief is earnestly
desired. The messenger SAYS foreign
Ministers consider it impossible TO
procure provisions after August l.
rien-Tsin Captured
The allied forces on Saturday sue
cessfully assaulted the walled city,
and now control Tien-tsin with all
of its forts. The fight was "a bitter
one, but details are still meagre. The
total loss is said to have been about
7l5, of which number 2l5 were
Americans. The names of five
officers of the Ninth United States
Infantry have been added to the list
OF the wounded.
The capture of the city will have
great value, by reason of its show of
power, This doubtless will do much
TO decide wavering Chinese in their
allegiance. The advance to Pekin
probably will be expedited by this
victory.

The session of Randolph Macon
District Conference, held last week
with the churches of White Stone
Circuit, were greatly enjoyed by the
people of this section. The visitors,
also, were much pleased, if one is to
Judge by the words of praise which
they let drop or have written here
since their departure. The circuit
aud the people, without denomina-
tional distinction, deserve great credit
for the manner in which they enter
tanned the Conference, and Pastor G.
*. James displayed excellent tact in
the management of its affairs. So
much pleased were our people that
they will welcome the return of the
time when the visitation of the Con-
ference will again be theirs.

Now that the Democratic party has in

hereafter no Virginia Democrat will be
found opposing this great popular move.
ment. Remember IL has now become n
tenet of y.-Northern Neck
Ne,cs.
Exactly so, aud just the doctrine
that the CITIZEN has always preached
party platform demands party
fealty. Good doctrine; and now we
would like some of the oracles of the
party in the First District to define
the status of those Democrats who
did not support the recent Conshtu-
tional Convention movement. 1t was
a part of the Demo cratic platform
adopted at Norfolk. We are willing
to toe the mark on everything done at
Kansas City, because it is the party's
dictum, but there should not be one
law for some Democrats and another
law for others.

In THE report of the last meeting

In THE report of the last meeting
of our county Board of Supervisors
we see two items carrying much
interest. Very properly, we think,
the Board refused to follow the course
of some of the counties in the State
and spend large amount of the tax
payers money in fireproofing the
clerks office, not that this shouldn't
be done if the Office and records
stand in any danger, but that they
should refuse to pay the exorbitant
sum asked by agents when the same
end may be accomplished for much
less sum. It is distressing to see
how some of our counties are beng
fooled into squandering the counts
funds on this line. Another item is
the question of dog tax. This
matter will in all probability be
taken up at the meeting of the Board
on next Monday. We trust the
Board will act favorably in the
matter. There is every reason why
dogs should be taxed and few or
none against it. If space permitted
and we thought the Board needed
any argument in the matter OF
reasons why, We could cheerful,
and fearlessly give them. We hope
and believe that every "mongrel,
whelp and hound, and cur of low
degree" along with the supper ten, y
will be saddled with tax.

IN THE reorganization of the Re

Heath, Second Assistant Postmaster

THAT plot to assassinate President
Mckinley savors very much of poIit-
ical jugglery. 1t was all fake.
"The quickness of the and deceiyes
the heye, as the Britishes would
put it, is applicable TO the CELEBRITY
with which Marcus Aurelius will
drag sympathy and Doodle out of the
credulous. His performances before
the campaign is over would make a
Chinese juggler die of envy.

FRANKLIN COUNTY affords an ex-
celIent illustration of why there
should be a new constitution which
shall readjust our judiciary. One
Pad Shivelv, who was indicted in
1895 for killing Ike Radford, has
been discharged without trial, because
the record did not show why continu.
ances were made. This case has
been continued seventeen times and
has cost the State about three thou
sand dollars.

OUR nearby contemporary, the
Chesapeake Waterman, at Kilmar-
mock has undergone little change
in its management of late. From
last issue Mr.. Jno. L. Hughlett, who
has for many moons been the beacon
light for the WGtchman, becomes
supreme master of its affairs. Brother
Palmer has severed his connection
with the paper in so far as the title
of editor and proprietor is concerned,
but the editorial columns will still
be mixed with his facile pen. The
CITIZEN wishes much success to it's
contemporary under its new manage
ment, as it has done under it's past.
