This country Saturday night made
public its reply to Germany, Russia
and China with regard to its Attitude
in China. Briefly stated, the United
States gives a modified assent to the
request by Prince Ching that Minister
Conger he empowered to open nego-
tiations for peace. 1t answers Rus
sia's inquiry as to the disposition of
our minister and our troops by stat
ing that our legation for the present
will remain at Picking, and that a suf-
ficient number of troops will be there
retained to form proper guard for
our minister; as such they will not
form part of an allied army, and
Count Won Waldersee, when he ar
rives in Picking, will not have COM
mand of this guard of American
troops. The United States tells Ger
many in courteous, diplomatic lam
guage that while we are in accord
with the spirit of her proposition that
those responsible for the Chinese out
RACES must be brought to punishment,
We cannot make their apprehension
and punishment precedent to the
opening Of peace negotiations.

low is: In foreign affairs there should

to domestic policies. The party that

Tn i.osic of the Event.

The logic of events in the South
clearly points to the reduction of the
representation of the South in Con-
gress and in the electoral college as
the result uI the disfranchisement of
the colored race under rules not
applied to any other race, says the
Lewiston Journal. In pro- slavery
times the South had a great advan-
tage in representation in Congress;
now they have fought out rebellion
to a finish fortunate for civilization,
and while they have Disseminated
against the blacks in suffrage, they
yet have the cake which they have
eaten. While the blacks are not per-
mitted to vote or have their votes
counted in southern states, those
states are still permitted to elect to
the House of Representatives their
full quota of members, and to send to
the electoral college one elector for
each congressman and senator. That
amounts to government without the
consent of the governed, and such
representation should be reduced as
provided for in the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution.
After the election of 1854 Mr.. Blaine
raised his voice against the injustice
Of permitting the South to have its
'ul quota of representation in the
House and the electoral college SO
ong as at least half of the vote in
hose states was suppressed. In a
,peech delivered at Augusta on Noy.
s of that year, Mr.. Blaine reviewed
he conditions in the South, and said:
81 submit, my friends. that such a condition
II affairs Is eXtrao binary, unjust and deroga-
DRY to the manhood of the North. Even those
rho are yindctvely opposed to negro suffrage,
will not deny that If the presidential electors
re assigned 10 the South by reason of the negro
population, that population ought to be per
litted free suffrage in the election. To deny
hat free proposition IS to affirm that a southern
yhite in Gulf states is entitled to doub BILE

We submit that Mr.. Blaine, who was
'ophetic touching reciprocity and
merican expansion, is equally pro-
letic touching the relation of dis
anchisement on race grounds to
,litical power on the fertile grounds
