Bryan made In the csmpaig1 Of 1895. a, show
ing hi shallow understanding OF public matters,

the grasp Of the Boy Orator. simple as he thinks
them TO be. I'such a Misunderstanding was

seem to show even a deeper scheme on the
part OF the silver plotters-an actual conspiracy
to foro, the country on a silver basis. even
though It cost the nation the horrors OF a for
eiRn war and the shedding OF much blood.
Your quotation in yesterdays Sunday edition

As the places Of registration Will be open

no citizen who Is not absent from town or

reason for not qualifying himself thus

The precedent of the election OF $780,

Mr. MCKINLEY can again carry this great

Russia's Peculiar Relation to China

1t IL a singularly able discussion OF the

JOSIAH QUINCY, who. IL will be rencm

Interested in the fate Of China.
Why Is the future of the Middle Kingdom

cause Russia has a frontier contCrminous
with that of China for some four thousand
miles. No other Power represented in
the concert is n territorial ncighbor OF
China except through distant dependen-
Cies. France, through Tonquin, and Great
Britain, through Burma. Japan. To be
sure, il a near ncighbor of China, but the
fact that she is separated from the Celestial
Empire by water makes her relations TO
the problem differ fundamentally from
those of Russia. To the Car the security
of a land frontier of enormous extent must
be q primary consideration. and recent
events have proved that tho frontiers
liability to attack at the hands of MauChus
or Chinese Is by no means merely theoret-
leaf. The last thing that the ~. Peters
burg Government can desire or can afford
is To- be compelled TO keep its Asiatic border
in Il perpetual state of defence against
possible attack. For this reason alone.
II for no other, the maintenance of friendly
relations with China must needs he Il point

policy.
1t Is for the same reason. namely, because
she is contCrmlUous by land. that Russia

should interest every good citizen. The
reputation and honor Of his city is at
stake. 1t is no longer a mere slot
machine matter but 1t has become a
question as to the duty of the executive
department Of our city. II 1t is not
their duty to enforce the ordinance
against gambling it Is not their
duty to enforce that against
stealing, they both stand on the
same authority. Can the city AFFORD to
have this matter rest where It is? I
say no.
1t seems to me that this matter
should be of greater concern to the
board Of trade even than the reduction
of the assessment on property. Shall
we always be interested more about
money than about morals and good or
der? Neither should be neglected, but
1t is true Of city as well as Of an Indi
vldual. that "a good name is rather to
be chosen than great riches" Is It not
about time that the business men Of
the city take hold of this matter and
demand Of the council that the officers
of the city be made do their sworn
duty? Can the city afford to let this
thing rest where it is? soLoN.
