of Colonel Liscum. gives some
information. He fully con-
firms the previous reports that in the
relief of Pekin the American troops were
the only ones to observe the rules of
civilized warfare. He says our soldiers
killed only in battle. while the others
seemed eager to improve on the lessons
in savagery received from the Chinese.
From his personal observations. Coz
one Hayes says that the French We're
the worst in that respect, and actually
killed the Chinese for the mere fun of
killing. The Russians. on the other
hand. killed as a matter of policy. The
distinction is that the latter seem to
be carrying out a general policy or
cleaning up" the territory which they
expect to seize. Most of the killing was
over, Colonel Hayes says. before the
Germans arrived. but they did consider
able slaushtering. and designated their
work as official killing
In conclusion. Colonel Hayes says that
the American forces will leave China
with clean hands. They neither wan
| tonly killed the natives nor looted theil
| homes and stores.
| This is a legitimate cause for pride on
the part of Americans, and is clearly the
| reason why the Chinese hold the United
| States in such high esteem.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.

France seems to be getting further and
further away from the time when she
will be able to settle scores with Germany.
The French census figures for 1899. now
completed give the births as S41.6al.
which is fully 10000 less than the aver
age for the last decade. The excess of
births over deaths was only 1884. SO
that the natural growth of the population
is small M. Bertillion. in commenting
on this showing. says with grim humor
that France is in the position of man
dying under the influence of chloroform.
Germany today has a population of
80. 900. 900. while France has but $4,000, 900
inhabitants, and the present ratio is not
likely to be disturbed in favor of the lat
ter country at least. when these figures
have been doubled.

The Utah Federation of Womens
clnbs has inaugurated a movement for
the relief of the overworked store en-
ployes, and has gone about it III such a
thoroughly practical way that the effort
is likely to attract much attention.
The whole scheme is embraced in these
simple rules, which have been adopted
by the federation: Not to shop or mar,
llet on Saturday afternoon; not to shop
or market after o'clock; not to insist
on packages being delivered on after
noon of purchaser not to delay Christmas
shopping until last few days before
Christmas BY observing these requests
the shoppers will relieve employer and
employees and abolish the necessity for
late hours, oyerwork and Sunday de-
livery.
The plan proposed is one that might
be followed generally with mutual con-
venience to the store people and the
patrons.

McKINLEY's WESTERN TRIP.

Great Falls Leader: Dispatches from
Washington tell us that President Nc
Kinley will visit the Pacific coast in the
spring and will stop in Montana on his
way back to the east. The same dis
patches also say that the president will
visit Helena. but say nothing about any
other Montana cities. \ stay in Butte
and a visit to Great Falls would seem
to be a more sensible proposition, if the
president is to see anything of Montana
except Mount Helena, or to learn any,
thing about the resources of Montana,
aside from what may be learned in look
ing down the hundred foot shaft of the
large copper mine at kenWood BY all
means let the president visit the capital
city and let him hobnob with the one
time millionaires at the Montana club,
but don't, for mercy's sake, let him think
that Helena is all there is of Montana.
Helena is a great city and it has great
many nice people and handsome resi-
dences but it is not the whole thing by
any means. There are others, and these
others should be considered, especially
when they outranll the capital city in
both population and resources.

The question as to whether General
Robert E. Lee once asked for a pardon
seems to have been settled by collection
of documents recently discovered by Rev.
DR.. William Jones, formerly chaplain of
the Army of Northern Virginia. These
have been made public with the consent
Cf the Lee family and the authorities of
Washington and Lee University, with
which place DR.. Jones is now connected.
Among them is a letter written to Presi-
dent Johnson on June Is, 1865, in which
General Lee asks 'for the benefits and
full restoration of all rights and priyil-
eges extended to those included in the
proclamation of amnesty and pardon

doned, but was included in the list of

THE PARDoNING POWDER.

Great Falls Leader: The pardoning
power of a governor or a state board is
not private privilege, but public
responsibility, and if it is not possible
to prevent wholesale pardoning by law,
public opinion should deal with those
who are responsible for abuses which
are serious obstacle to the proper ad-
ministration of justice and the safe
guarding of life and property. A mans
life should be guarded with the most
jealous care. yet trials for murder are
common in Montana, and human life is
held very cheap. Why should it not,
when juries excuse crime because of
sympathy and governors remit sentences
for the same reason? 81

An exchange IN speaking of
the street car strike in st. Louis,
says that it has cost the city more
in losses than it would have cost
to construct the system and own
it. And still the people have not
enough sense to see what is wrong.
Had the city owned the system
the matter of wages and treat
ment OF the employees would have
been brought up and settled in
council meetings. But rather
than own something themselves
the people have permitted the
killing of 10 people; the shooting
of Sc men and women, the injury
of 1917 others, the beating of 8
women, the stripping in the street
of three women, the shooting of
S children md the having of a
good time generally.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republican Convention was
not one of many surprises-their
platform adopted and nominees
chosen, Mckinley and Roosevelt
had been predicted outcome.
The crazy quilt affair of a plat
form is made as attractive to the
voters eye as the dexterity of their
hands, expansive brains and the
trust fund could make it. Sewed
together with the thread of the
prevailing prosperity and faced
with Mckinley eulogies, while the
squares were made up of such
pieces as protection, allegiance to
the gold standard, the restriction
of foreign immigration, liberal
pensions, reduction of war taxes
free Cuba, in heaven, and relin-
quishment of the Philippines,
caught the eye and vote of the
convention, and is expected when
held up to the country by the man
of Hanna, Mckinley and the
rough rider hero Roosevelt of
Spanish American war to catch
the vote of the American people.
1t was made to take, for even their
colored brother was offered pro-
lection from further Southern dis
reimbursement. If the Democratic
declaration issued the 18th of next
July is the right kind of stuff this
one of the Republicans will be
buried under the avalanche of
American votes.

The record of Il public officer
today in Mississippi is above criti-
cism. 1t makes no difference how
badly he has managed the affairs
of the Office he holds, let his OPP
ponent show it up before the peo-
pie and it means his election. 1t
was once said that u man when he
ran for Office could look for
anything to be said about him
by his opponents from stealing q
horse to setting his own house on
fire, still bong untrue, has often
defeated a good man. Today
If man has bad record and he
can get his opponent to- air it he
will get some of his sap-sucking
supporters cry persecution, which
in almost every case means his
election.
Unless our party tears from
these men asking for Office, this
cloak of persecution, which is now
the vote catcher and bare his
record to the people, another party
will come among us that will, and
they will be defeated, carry
ing our own party colors dow in
the dust. 1t is an undisputtd fac,
at the time of the canvass as we'll as
today, that most people Of the

John Aliens been SO severe on Mr..

have never been elected. Not one
have we heard there or since, say |
that Mr.. Allen defeat was due to |
mis-statemcnts, but to persecution,

and showing it mp in true light |
before his people, and the only |
lefense offered by him was, "We

ness l ASK allowing his Office

What was the result! Allen

THE "GOOD PEOPLE"

The cry OF the demagogue, I'M
politician and the triqkster toda!
is TO let the good people" decide
their fate or the political questions
of state or nation. Our State Elk
ecutive Committee on their selec.
ton of the primary scheme against
the convention, the time-honoret
custom of Democracy sent up the
same argument. What is the
out come. They first elected tc
Office one of the worst men IL
Mississippi. the second saddled on
Democr acy q scheme that caused
its men of brains who loved their
party and its principles to rise up
and throw it off. The most dan
gerous element today the honest
citizen and honest officer has to
deal with is the so-called good
people led by winning and schem-
ing persons By them all the ig-
norance, bigotry and oppression in
human history has been commit
ted.
Who blocked the new Messiah
of the Nazarene I! The Rabbi,
No, the orthodox. Whom does
Christ curse-the brute Roman
Soldieryl Nay, the good people,
Rabbles do not adjudicate systems
Of religion-such things are APP
proved or rejected by the religious.
Who stood in the path of Luther's
Reformation-the slums? No, the
church. Who silenced Calico,
the duncesG No, the scientists.
Who hanged the witches and
logged the Quakers in New Eng
land, the riff-raff? Not at all, the
most virtnous of our Puritan fore
fathers. Who made the Spanish
INCLUSION a by-word for cruelty,
the bad people! No, the most
pious orthQrdox god fearing peo-
pie in Spain. Who gave to a
demagogue in mississippi the high
est Office in their gift, the bolter
and uneducatedg No, the best
citizen and men Of intelligence.
But why continue, all history
runs the same way. The fool or
criminal is powerless in deciding
or determining the affairs Of a
state or nation. But 1t is the
''good people" who mean well but
are led astray by the profession
reformer Or demagogue, and only
men of brains who stand lmmov-
able to their cries, with honest
hearts and purposes. who brave
their own party and social peers
can order them about face in their
determination and join them in
their endeavor to uphold the law,
and defeat those who once were
their so-called leaders. Such a
man is the Democracy of the State
seeking today and he will be found.
