having been degraded for ineff1ciency or for
displeasing the Empress in some way. He was
in charge of a camp at Lutai, which was sup
posed to contain fifteen thousand men. but
really had not more than half that number.
These were originally drilled and organized by
five German officers, but little more than two
years ago the places of the latter were taken
by Colonel Warranof, Of the Hussars of the
Russian Guard, and some other Russian Of
fcers. The army was not only 30 per cent
below its supposed strength, but deficient
in discipline and was scarcely more than an
armed mob Such are the forces of the Chinese
army. these two samples fairly indicating the
character of the whole There are thousands
of mere coolies, who know absolutely nothing
Of military discipline and who are armed with
nothing more than clubs swords or bows and
arrows if. indeed. with anything at ALL but
who are enrolled and wear military badges
their backs and breasts and thus enable their
commanders to draw their salaries from the
Imperial and provincial treasures.
The forts and arsenals are we'll constructed
as a rule and are often we'll equipped, but in
many cases are udicrously i'll managed. Thus
in fort Lord Charles BeresfOrd found a lot
of Cotton muz2le loading guns, which were
loaded by depressing the muzzles into the
magazines. He suggested that this was dan
gerous practice and that the magazine might
he blown up. The commander agreed with
him and congratulated him his quickness
in perceiving the danger. and then pointed out
n spot where n magazine had the year before
been blown up in just that way, with a loss Of
fOrty-two lives. But the magazine had been
rebuilt and the guns still loaded IN pre-
cisely the same dangerous way At another
fort powder OF Chinese manufacture was used.
The visitor suggested that it was not suited to
the guns and might cause them to burst. Again
the commander agreed with him, and admitted
that recently two guns had been thus burst
with a loss Of thirty men. But the same kind
Of powder was still used
These are the conditions which mark the
hopelassness of the Chinese situation, so far
rs internal reform is concerned. They also
mark certain degree of helplessness against
determined foreign aggression, though at the
same time considerable degree of formi
liability. Barbarsm cannot in the long run
stand against civilization. nor n mob against
an army. Yet a big enough mob, especially if
II he armed with scientific weapons. can simply
through its bulk give the best army much

n hundred thousand men. or OF million men.
Moreover, the Chinese, many Of them, are
possessed of great physical strength and en-

THE. PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.

The speech of Senator Lodge rs permanent
chairman of the Convention admirably intro
duced and supplemented the platform adopted
at yesterdays session. Beginning with the felic-
itous statement that the Presidential term now
drawing TO a close has been generous to the
Democrats in the exhibition Of unfulflled pre-
"dictions" though their patriotism is unequal
to the strain of being grateful for the fact he
recounted in a remarkably effective manner
the proofs of Republican fidelity TO the pledges
made four years ago and of Republican ca
pacity TO conduct the affairs of the Nation.
Time has so triumphantly indicated the sound
ness and the fruitfulness of the Republican pol
fey Of Protection that its Democratic opponents
no longer dare TO make IT an issue. The t1nan-
cial credit Of the United States has been so
fortified under Republican rule that the whole
world, seeing the National debt refunded at
per cent knows and proclaims it TO be impreg-
nable while the party that made 1t so remains
in power. ut was great work well done. The
"only argument the Democrats can advance to-
day in their own behalf on the money question

Democratic success would not permit the re-
peal of Republican law" The Senator justly
said that such precious argument worthy

this accurate analogy to confirm his estimate

Therefore abolish your fire department. turn

or consent TO live upon the past of which it is
proud, but offers an established record as the
guarantee Of constant progress. I'VE are the
party of to-day, with cheerful yesterdays and
confident to-morrows." In this spirit the party
has clearly recognized the new obligations i'm
posed upon the country by the course of events
and undertakes the task of discharging them
not with foolish disregard of their magnitude
and difficulty, but seriously and firmly, expect
ing to encounter and to surmount formidable
obstacles and to secure for all the people the
rewards Of clear vision and moral courage.

TIE REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM.

The Republican platform is a straightforward
document, composed in sober language, with
out rhetorical embroidery and as compact as
sufficient statement of deeds, principles and
pledges would permit The history Of the Ma
ton for the last four years has been practical
application Of the Republican platform Of 1896
TO the affairs Of the people. That platform
proposed. first Of all, return TO the National
policy Of Protection under which the highest
prosperity had been attained, and the wonderful
results which have been secured within the last
four years show how wisely that issue was
emphasized. It proposed sound money pol
icy, IN harmony with the record and prin-
ciples Of the party, and the single fact that
shipments OF gold TO Europe by the million now
take place without causing the slightest alarm
or weakening in the least the monetary stand
ard shows how important the course of the
party has been in that respect. The same es-
sentiaI policies. INDICATED as never before since
the party's return TO power are again appro-
priately made foundation stones in the platform
of 1900
Foreign issues necessarily come forward with
q prominence not before known, and because
the achievements Of the Nation within four
wears have been such as could not be foreseen
the pledges Of 1896 did not cover the duties
OF 1900 But in this, as in other respects
that duty of the party is placed foremost and
held of the highest importance which most
plainly and directly concerns the honor and
prosperity Of the Nation. The only criticism
that can stand against such a platform is to
show that. il executed in good faith and with
knowledge and efficiency, the platform Of 1896
has been, II would fail to defend the honor Of
the Nation or 10 promote its prosperity. and
of such criticism little indeed will be heard
in the coming months Of discussion. The man.

Nations outlook. attitude and sphere Of duties

momentous change. and the slightest hesita-
ton 20 acknowledge and accept unforeseen OBJ
legations would have been unworthy Of the
party and offensive 10 the people; but having
to deal with these problems for the first time,
The Convention, while firmly declaring the fun
damental requirements Of the case, has wisely
refrained from committing The party TO any i'm
prudent programme OF specific legislation.
The platform suitably sets forth the need Of
a Nicaragua canal and OF it's control by the
United States; the importance OF just and con-
venient laws affecting the business and civiliza-
ton OF the Territories, and the damage and
danger involved in longer neglecring to promote
the development Of the merchant marine. II

the Difference paid to its attitude in the present
crisis in the Far East There has been, no
doubt, a lot of injudicious talk about our hav-
ing suddenly become world Power'-what-
ever that phrase may mean beyond what we
have been for a century and more. But the
plain fact is that in these last three years the
United States has vastly extended its interna-
tionai relationships and influence. and has won
a far wider appreciation of its physical power
both in war and in the industrial and CONNER
cial pursuits of peace The old sheer who

would now seem every whit as foolish. In Ell
rope. IN Asia, in Africa and in the islands of
the sea all nations do care. and greatly care,
what America thinks and does. just as we care
what they think and do.
Now, in this there is no Wanting or bra Zga-
docio, because it is just simple statement Of
the truth. and of the fit and proper truth. The
United States has reached the standard which
every great nation should reach. And this has
been done in a Rgnifed and straightforward
manner. and without any material sacrifice.
This Nation has not gone about bullying and
clustering. nor meddling and intriguing. 1t has
gained its own ends without mourning the Ill
will of Others 1t has not sacrificed nor can
celled one essential iOta of its Monroe Doctrine
and of all that doctrine means. 1t has not in
volved itself in the tolls Of any concert of
Powers" compromised its traditional free
dom of independent action by any embarrass-
ing compacts or intrigues. In brief it has with
signal fidelity and success maintained the often
misquoted and often misnterpreted principle Of
peace, commerce and honest friendship with
all misunderstanding alliances with none
That is q goodly record. 1t Is an achievement
that should be established precedent, and
should he maintained as a fixed and perpetual
rule Of National action. We have said that for
eign policy should be continuous, even despite
changes of Administration and changes Of polit-
icaI complexion of administrations. 1t is to be
hoped 1t would be thus maintained, no matter
what changes might occur But those who wish
its surest maintenance will see the greater GER
tainty of it in the avoidance Of any change, and
especially In the avoidance of a change to such
political control threatens in advance TO dts
honor the Nation in the sight Of the world and
to plunge it incontinently into all manner Of
quixotc ventures and needless animosties.
