SUPERB DIPLOMACY.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has not al
ways been in favor of Secretary Hays
diplomacy. But we can find no words OF
praise too strong for his attitude in the
Chinese matter. His dispatches to the
American representatives at the Courts OF
Europe and Japan add lustrous page to
the history Of American diplomacy. They
read:
The National tribune., 1900-08-09

An average of 666 original allowances
a week would aggregate 1892 in a year.
As the Commissioner reports $500 losses
to the roll by death last year, this would
be LIT less than would fill the vacancies
made by death.
An average of 1,7I9 total allowances a
week would aggregate 92,JOS in a year
The Commissioner reports that he has
437, 104 claims of all kinds pending. At
this rate it will take five years to dispose
OF all of them

The character Of the victims the An
archists have selected show the brutal, in
sensate character of those scoundrels.
Alexander IL, of Russia, was killed Just
after he had completed the most benefcent
act of any Russian sovereign's reign-the
emancipation Of the serfs. President Car
not, of France, was an elderly, benevolent.
blameless old gentleman, whose murder
was as senseless as that of our own Gar
field. The aged Empress of Austria was
entirely innocent Of any participation in
politics, and had spent her life in doing
good works. Now comes Humbert, of
Italy. Whatever may be the faults of
misgoyernment in Italy, he was guiltless
Of them. The Ministry and Parliament
and hoary abuses of centuries were re-
sponsible. He was doing the very best
that a conscientious, kindly, brave but not
particularly able man could do in his diff
cult position, and was personally the most
popular King in Europe.

How much of bluff Russia has been
putting up is already revealed. She has
now all that she can do to maintain her
self at Port Arthur and in Manchuria.
Russia is a good deal of a bugbear.

FREE ouanrERs AT CHICAGO.

Our correspondent at Chicago went too
far recently in stating that free boarding
and lodging will be given veterans and
their families at the National Encamp-
ment. Free quarters will be given veter-
ans who apply for them, but no free board
for anyone.

IN China we are undoubtedly up against
the most unblushing and unserupulous
liars that the world has ever produced. A
Chinese official is absolutely without con-
science or self-respect in his dealings with
foreign deyils'

THE WORK OF THE PENSION BUREA1

There is reported from the Pension Bu
reau a remarkable loosening of the screws
and general liberalizing of the rules and
methods, and that where the rule has
been to reject three-quarters of the appli-
cations now thrce-quarters are allowed.
We sincerely hope that this is SO, but so
far it has not materialized SO as to appear
in the weekly reports of business done.
The report for the week ending July %,
1900, compares with that for the week
ending July 29, 1899, as follows;

THE dispatches say that ''the Russians
were attacked by disguised Chinese sci
diers, who placed their cartridge-boXes
over their military badges to conceal
them" The Chinese must wear either
their badges or their cartridge-boxes IN
very different places from what we used

etc. All this II swept aside as triHins
rubbish. The Chinese Government will a,
once climb down off the roof, and proceed
to do business on well-recognized interna.
tional lines, or its next-door neighbor. the
great American Nation. will proceed Wig
orously to know the reason why.
The Chinese will come down with great
celerity. With all their flummery and non
sense, the Chinese are a very practical
people. They know that Secretary Hays
demand has a steely ring in it such as
they have never heard before. 1t means
to them thousand times more than any
previous demand. When Russia has talked
strong to them they have palavered, be-
cause they knew Russia was not in shape
to apply physical force; and if she were
Great Britain and France would inter-
vcne. When Great Britain and France
have become imperative the Chinese have
relied on Russian help. When the Ger
speech, the Chinese have counted up the
miles between Germany and China, and
figured on the bankruptcy cost of his send
ing enough men and supplies for them to
carry out his threats. Even when Japan
threatens, they reflect that after all Japan
has only $4,000 men in her active army,
and these may have other work to do with
Russia. But they know that if need be
the President of the United States could
land 100000 unsurpassed soldiers in
China, with far less effort than any other
ruler could 100000, and supply them in
definitely from the rich granaries of Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington. They
are familiar enough with the history of
the Spanish war to know that when the
United States starts in to do anything
there is a suddenness and might about it
that are irresistible.
This is why Secretary Hays plain words
have carried Consideration to the Tsung-li-
Yamen, and we shall score a new and
very great triumph for the celebrated
"Ohio Shirt-Sleeve Diplomacy"

THE REMOVAL OF HATS.
Why Some Ladies' Refuse to Remove
Their Hats in Theaters.

The theater season Is approaching
and the question of ladies removing
their hats arises. A cynical old fell
low referring to the question delivered
himself as follows: There are some
pretty good reasons why women do
not want TO remove their hats at pub
lie gatherings. Nearly all ladies re-
move their hats at theatre but there
are few who refuse 60 do SO. Some
of them are bald, others have false
hair they are afraid OF exposing, while
a few are slouchy and don't comb
their hair once week. Once in
while you find one with new hat
she don't get one often-and she is
not going TO miss the opportunity of
showing it off. When you see lady
in the audience with her hat on you
may feel assured that she has one of
the above reasons.

THE PEOPLE OF RANDOLPH.
VIII Resent The Elkins destinations
Against Col. Thomas b. Davis.

Correspondence Wheeling Register.
The Democrats of Randolph Coun-
ty are SO much pleased with the nom-
ination of Colonel Thomas B. Davis
for Congress that they expect to give,
with the close organization which
they are now perfecting, their old time
majority of 500.
They feel like resenting the insin-
nations which have been made and
are being made through the Republi-
can press of the State against both
Colonel DAVIS and his distinguished
brother, and Hon. Henry G.. Davis,
who have done so much for the coun-
IS Of Randolph and the interior of the
State.
1t is we'll known and understood in
this county that the recent editorial
attacks on both the Senator and Col
onel Davis have been prompted, II not
absolutely written, by Senator Elkins,
and sent by his secretary, the Cana
dian importation whom he keeps on
the pay rolls of the United States
Senate as private secretary, when
some good and worthy West Virgin
ian should have this lucrative place.
Citizens OF this county, irrespective
of party, who have long known both
Of the Davises, and who honored and
respected them before Mr. Elkins left
his New Mexican home, resent the in
situations which emanate from him
and his friends against these two dis
tinguished Democrats. NO insinua-
tion is ever made against either the
Senator or Colonel Davis on account
OF their age, except among the imme-
date circle of Elkins' friends, promp-
ted by Mr.. Elkins himself, who sell
flshly believes that all the offices and
honors within the gift of either party
should come to him.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frost Knocked Out of
Bed-Barn Burned.
Uniontown News Standard.


The large new frame barn of Evans
Lynn on his farm in Menallen town
ship near Balsinger was struck
by lightning Sunday evening at II
o'clock and totally destroyed by
fire. Mr.. Poundstone, who lives on
the farm, lost between 81, 200 and
81, 800 worth of grain and other prop
erty, which was uninsured. He had
two years crop of wheat, quantity
of oats and hay and all his farming
utensils and harness in the barn,
which were all destroyed. The barn
was built by Mr.. Lynn two years ago
and was very valuable and subStan-
tial one. Mr.. Lynn's loss will be con-
siderable. He had but $500 of insur-
ance on it. He says the barn cannot
be replaced for less than $1,000.
NEW SALEM, Aug. 20.-Mr. and
Mrs. John Frost of this place had an
exciting experience during the thun-
der storm last night They had just
retired when bolt struck their house.
The lightning went down the chimney
and struck the bed on which Mr.. and
Mrs. Frost were lying. Mr.. Frost
was thrown out and stunned by the
shock and by the fail on the hard
floor. Mrs. Frost was burned on the
neck, but not seriously injured. An
An examination showed that one of
the rails of the bed was splintered,
and it is miracle how Mr.. and Mrs.
Frost escaped with their lives.
