the empress dowager for the Boxers has
given them the support Of 100. 600 imperial
troops, now drawn up in battle array
Pekin to resist the approach Of
the allied forces of the world. Any at
tempt to rescue the representatives of
foreign governments by force of arms
would undoubtedly result in their mas
sacre. and diplomacy and tact must be
brought into requisition to remove the
peril that threatens.
There can be no question as to the fate
of China in a contest with the allied pow
ers, but the matter of protecting foreign
interests and the lives of foreigners now
practically at the mercy of the yellow
devils of Pekin, is a problem of the most
serious type. 1t is reported today h a
the legations at Pekin have been de-
stroyed and that the German minister
has been killed. It is not at all unlikely
that the same fate will overtake the rep
r~esentatives Of other governments.
These outrages will mark the beginning
of the end of the Chinese empire. China,
with it's 400, 900, 900 of ignorant fanatics,
is today the plague spot of the world.
and having invited to its vitals the sword
of C~hristendom, let the yellow Kingdom
be broken across the knee OF destiny
and civilization planted upon its ruins.

1t may mean much or little.
In 1896 it meant the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver and gold at a ratio of
Is to I, by the independent action Of this
nation.
In 1892 it meant whatever definition
congress might see fit to give it, and
that meaning is to be again accorded it
this ear as the price of democratic
unity.
Bryan will pose as a presidential IAN
didate in the coming campaign on the
same sort of bimetallism that held the
democratic party together in the Cleve-
land contest of 1892.
Did the democracy intend to stand by
the cause of free coinage the official but
ton OF the party would have declared for
free coinage" which not only stands
for b%imetalhsm, but defines a specific
kind of bimetallism.
An abstract declaration for bimetal-
lism places the free coinage issue fur
Their In the background thar if the uues-
ton was wholly ignored in the platform,
and flowed to rest in peace until the
trend of events again forces the question
prominently to the front.
Monometallism mean the use of but
one metal for monetary purposes, and
while two are used-each representing
one hundred cents on the dollar within
its sphere OF activity-monometallism is
not an accomplished fact.
-Four metals are used in this country
gold, silver, copper and nickel-and the
least of these is as valuable as the great
est when measured by the test of federal
good faith and the quality of redemption
in the coin of the realm.
Tt therefore becomes necessary, in
using the terms "bimetallism'' and
"monometallism'' for political purposes,
to define the kind and quality of each.
To shrek for bimetallism without a
specific declaration in favor of free coin
age at the ratio of Is to /, by the indie
! pendent action of this nation, is to re-
verse the position taken by the demo-
cratic party in 1896 on the financial
issue.
In beating around the brush to escape
going on record in favor of free coinage,
the democratic party betrays it's moral

BULLETS AHD PRAYER.

Those who compliment the Beers on
their prayers for fatal effects. when they
fire into the ranks of the enemy, and
who stretch their vivid i~maginations to
the point of believing that such prayers
are recognized and answered, commit a
sacrilege in the eyes of God.
A greater INSULT never assembled to the
O~mnipotent throne than the appeal for
Divine help in the prosecution of blood
shed and the taking of human life.
If Divine Providence be interested in
the outcome of a war, that the interests
of mankind may be ultimately served
through the results attained, no prayers
are required to direct the eye of the Om-
nipotent or change the plans of Almighty
God.
misunderstanding the allegory Of
Joshua commanding the Jul to stand
still, feeble intellects have tried in every
age of the worlds history to advise, God
what He ought to do when senseless
quarrels arise between nation and ma
tion and they fly with anger at each
others threats.
In every case, without-a solitary ex-
ception, prayers for success in the field
of wholesale murder are intensely selfish.
A selfish prayer of any kind, whether
it be for the attainment of riches or
the death of ones fellowmen in the prog
ress of a war, is an abomination before
God.
Prayer should come from an unselfsh
heart, and be an appeal for the welfare
of others, not for the qualification of the
ambitions of ones own heart.
1t would be just as laudable for an in
dividual to pray for the death of an en-
envy in civil life, and expect the AL
mighty to grant him the special favor
of killing his business or professional
rival for him, as to make a prayer of
the same type on the battlefield for the
death of men who are doing a duty
government require, and who have in
fieted no personal injury upon the APP
pellant to the Divine power.
Not only lave the praying proclivities
of the Beers degenerated into a bowling
farce, but they nave reached a disgust
ing point in the eyes of those who re-
spect the true objects of prayer, and
would not make a convenient football OF
Divinity for the selfish purposes of life.

Der they win take q more serious view
of the situation.
There is a current belief among polk
ticians. that the o thing to do is to
their party adherents that de-
feat is an impossibility, n thus en-
ting the ma ximum of effort from the
minimum of prospect. In q campaign
waged purely along sentimental lines
this method may prove more II less
effective, but in a fight involving the
substantial business interests of a coun-
try it is likely to react to the disadvan-
tage of the party. Business issues Of
far-reaching Importance to the future of
the country will be arbitrated at the
ballot box this year, and they will APP
peal to the serious consideration Of
thoughtful men. Tidal waves are not
likely when matters of a business a
acter are in issue, and jumping up and
down and cracking ones heels together
and throwing ones hat into the air and
yelling like a Comanche Indian, are
pyrotechnic politics that will nave little
weight in the forthcoming campaign.
The intelligent millions hav questions
of too much Importance to deal with to
reach a conclusion on the hypnotic nflu-
ences of a hurrah. The masses of the
people have done with the cyclone in
politics, and the days Of the loud
mouth demagogue are drifting with
great rapidity into the past.
The only danger to the republican
party in a national way rests in the
feeling of security on the part of the
people, who, happy in the prosperous
conditions that have o~vertaken the
country under republican rule, rest upon
their laurels rather than stand guard
over the principles that have brought
contentment to the firesides of the ma
tion. To the end that the masses of the
peop1e-the real beneficiaries of repub-
lican rule-may be aroused to the neces-
sity of protecting themselves from the
disaster of democracy, as exemplfed in
the past, the leaders of the republican
party would abate any tendency to over
confidence and thereby invite the coun-
try to a careful analysis of the issues of
the campaign.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN SUTTON.

1t is officially announced that the DEM
ocratic campaign button will contain the
word ''bimetallism," instead Of free
coinage as in 1896.
In order to hold the gold and silver
wings Of the party together it became
necessary to suppress any official desig-
nation that would commit the party to
free coinage.
The word "bimetalism" means the use
of two metals for monetary purposes,
without any designation whatever as to
their relationship.
Bimetallism is in vogue at present,
under a single gold standard for none
tary values.
Silver dollars are legal tender, and
subsidiary silver coin answers every
that could be conserved by
money of that type.
B~imetallism, without any definition as
to terms, is an abstraction

AVOID OVERCOME ENcE.

0 Statements occasionally made by
prominent republicans to the effect that
1t is the duty of their party to guard
we'll the avenues to success in the fall
elections, are unwittingly construed by
the democratic press as confessions Of
weakness as to the standing OF their
cause before the people. There is as
marked and well defined a difference
between republican and democratic
methods on the threshold of a presiden-
tial campaign, as there usually is in the
results in November. The leaders of the
republican party seek to check the spirit
of o~ver-confidence which faith in the
rectitude of their purposes and the in
tegrity of their principles naturally in
the party appreciate the value Of the
saying that eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty and work accordingly
along the lines of success.
1t was ver-confidence on the part of
the republican leaders, shared by the
party generally all over the country,
that made possible the defeat of Har-
rison in 1892. The mistake was not re-
peated by the supporters Of Mckinley
in 1896, nor Will it be in the campaign
OF the present year. 1t is recognized
that Indifference to the details of cam
paign work, growing out of the belief
that a walk-away is in sight, is always
fraught with danger, regardless of the
justice of the cause in issue.
There is not a we'll posted republican
in the United States today who does be-
lieve hat practically all the conditions
of success lie with the national repub-
lican party. The issues of the campaign
are shaping themselves to the advantage
of the. republicans in all sections of the
country, and none appreciate this fact
ers themselves. But while this is true,
over-confidenee invariably opens up a
lee-way for the enemy, and they are not
slow to avail themselves of the oppor-
