Baron Won Ketteler, the German
minister at Peking, was murdered by
the Chinese Boxers. His death will be
avenged by Kaiser William. In speech
to detachment OF marines who were
sailing for China the emperor said:
"The German flag has been insulted,
and the German empire treated with
contempt. This demands exemplary
punishment and vengeance. 1 will not
rest until the German flag, joined with
those of the other powers, floats tri-
over China's flag, and until
it has been planted on the walls of Pc
king to dictate peace to the Chinese. :"

Ralph Plat, an American sent by the
Chinese Emperor as special envoy to
Washington, passed through Minneap-
oils the other day and was interviewed
at great length by representative of the
Evening Journal regarding affairs in
China. Among other things he said:
II regret to say that the missionaries
in China are responsible for most of the
trouble. This fact is we'll understood
by the best informed men in the en-
pire, both European and Chinese. The
fact is that the Chinese are an exceed
ingly religious people, inclined to fanat-
icism when their beliefs are secuted and
reviled, but then for that matter so are
we. The Chinaman is slow to abandon
the faith of his fathers, especially at the
behest of class of people which, the
Chinese have learned by experience, can
not be trusted in ordinary affairs OF
life. This may be regarded as hard
thing to- say of the missionary, but l
reflect the regard in which he is held
by the Chinese people"

during the Hanna convention at Phila-
delphia The man from Canton was il,
constant communication with his ring,
master, and with one of his cabinet
members prepared a platform for adop.
ton which was rejected by the commit.
tee, one plank OF it landing himself in the
most extravagant rhetoric, and anotlle,
alleging that eve again announce ou1
opposition to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver except by internationo
agreement"
The platform adopted at Kansas City
comes up to the most sanguine expecta
tons of the Irish Standard. The fol.
lowing paragraphs are pregnant with
meaning and thoroughly American in
tone:
eve assert that no nation can long
endure half republic and half empire
and we warn the American people that
imperialism abroad will lead quickly and
inevitably to despotism at home.
eve are not opposed to territorial
expansion when it takes in desirable
territory which can be erected into
states in the Union and whose people
are willing and fit to become American
citizens.
"The Importance of other questions
now pending before the American pec-
pie is in no wise diminished, and the
Democratic party takes no backward
step from its position on them, but the
burning issue of Imperialism growing
out of the Spanish war involves tile
very existence of the republic and the
destruction of our free institutions. We
regard it as the paramount issue OF the
campaign.
1--WE pledge the Democratic party to
an unceasing warfare in nation, state
anal cit. against private monopoly in
every form.
1--WE condemn the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty as surrender of American rights
and interests not to be tolerated by the
American people.
We reaftirm and indorse the prin-
ciples OF the national Democratic plat
form adopted at Chicago in 1896, and
we reirerate the demand of that plat
form for an American financial system
made by the American people for
themselves, which shall restore and
maintain bimetallic price level, and as
part OF such system the immediate res
toration of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to I, without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other
nation.
Believing in the principles of self.
government, and rejecting, as did our
foreiathers, the claim of monarchy, we
view with indignation the purpose vi
England to overwhelm with force the
South African republic. Speaking, as
we do, for all free men everywhere, we
extend our sympathies to the heroic
burghers in their unequal struggle to
maintain their liberty and indepen-
dcrce."
The platform should be read N its
entirety by every American entitled to
vote this fall. On such platform the
Democracy should carry the country by
an unprecedented majority. With a
strong candidate for vice president the
ticket will undoubtedly be elected. II
now looks as if Adlai E. Stevenson, OF
Illinois, IS the choice of the convention.
