THE CHINESE CONVERTS.

The statement is made in a Washington dis
patch that one of the chief difficulties in the
way of Withdrawing the American troops from
Peking, and from China is the demand of the
Christian missionaries that the native con
verts, who in Peking number some three thou
sand, shall not be abandoned to the vindictlye
fury Of the mob and Chinese sodiery, but shall
be protected, either by the retention of a suffi-
cient guard by their wholesale transporta-
ton to some place Of safety. Some surprise
impatience and dissent are expressed at this
and the question is asked whether we have anv
right or are under any obligation to interfere
in the domestic affairs of the Chinese Empire
far as to establish a protectorate over any
class or faction of the population
There are two grounds on which such inter
vention is called for by its advocates One is
that Of simple gratitude and loyalty to those
who have been loyal to us. These Chinese con-
verts stood by the Americans and other for
eigners in Peking during the siege of the Iega-
tions with valor and devotion for which no
praise can be too high. They knew that In do
ing so they were bringing upon themselves
Ostracism, odium, persecution and perhaps
death But they did It. They gave the for
eigners food and shelter and protection In bat
tie, often at the cost of their own lives 1t NAV
not be too much to assume that had it not been
Ior IueIn Lne IeSauonS would nave fallen and
all their inmates would have perished before
the arrival of relief. If we owe. then the
safety of the foreign colony at Peking to the
Chinese Christians, II is argued that It would
be monstrOUs ingratltude to abandon the latter
TO the destruction with which they are threat
ened because of that very service which they
rendered to us.
The other ground is that of treaty rights and
obligations In the treaty Of June Is, 1883, be-
tween China and the United States 1t is ex-
pressly stipulated that Chinese converts to
Christianity shall not be prosecuted on account
OF their faith That provision OF the treaty
Is Just as valid and just as binding as any
other. There might, OF course, he some tech
meal difficulty in proving that these converts
were In peril Of persecution on account of their
1alth. The Chinese Government might insist
that they were being prosecuted, or prosecuted
or otherwise dealt with on civil grounds alone.
Yet IL Is notorious that the Boxer outbreak
was at least as much religious as civil, and as
much ant-Christian as anti-foreign. So II is
urged that the United States has the same
right to demand the safety of Chinese Chris
uans' ana to take steps to assure It, that il has
to protect It's own citizens in living and I'm do
ing business In that country
It ls' or course desirahla that the Chinese
