MR.. BRYAN ON CHINA.

MI: Bryan has given out state
ment of his views on the Chinese
troubles, and the policy which he
believes should be followed by
this country. He very correctly
assumes, we think, that the policy
of the European nations has pro-
voked' the ignorant Chinese to
rebellion and murder, MI Bryan
says:
Everyone deplores the destruc-
ton of lives in China and is hor-
rified at the barbarities perpe-
trated. Everyone believes that it
is the duty of our government to
protect the lives and property of
American citizens residing in Chi
ma, and have no doubt but that
the administration will do so.
Il also take it for granted that
all American citizens will with
draw from China temporarily. or
take refuge in some seaport where
they can be protected by Ameri-
can ships until the excitement Is
over.
"If the Chinese government has
tried, IN good faith to protect our
citizens, suitable punishment for
the guilty and reparation and in
demnlty for those who have suf-
fered can doubtless be secured.
IF upon investigation it is
found that the Chinese govern
ment has not acted in good faith,
Congress has power to deal with
the matter,
For several years European
nations have been threatening to
dlsmember China, and it is not
strange that their ambitious de-
signs should arouse a feeling Of
hostility toward foreigners.
That feeling, however, ought
mot to be directed against Ameri-
can citizens, and will not, if our
nation makes it known that it has
no desire to grab land or to tres
pass upon the rights of China.
"A firm adherence to the Amer
lean policy of justice and fair
dealing will not only set an ex-
ample to other nations, but will
give our citizens residing IN China
the best promise of security.
1t will be better for our mer-
chants have it known that they
seek trade only when trade is mu-
tually advantageous.
1T will be better for our mis-.
sionaries to have it known that
they are preaching the gospel OF
love, and are not the forerunner:
of fleets and armies.

A SURE CURE FOR SMALLPOX

Editor of the Rome Tribune -
That it might be of great benefit
to some of your many readers to
know of remedy that is said to
be a sure cure for the dreaded
disease of smallpox, / here give
the cure as was given in a refer
ence book. The worst case of
smallpox can be cured in three
days, simply by the use of cream
tartar. One ounce of cream tar
tar dissolved in a pint of water,
drank at intervals, when cold, Is
a certain, never failing remedy.
1t has cured thousands, never
leaves a mark, never causes blind
ness, and avoids tedious lingering.
