PEKIN via SHANGHAI, Sept. 2.-Ac-
cording to numerous reports many thou
sands of Boxers who were scattered on
the arrival of allies are again massing to
attack Pekin. These rumors create great
uneasiness. Ching Ma Tung and Chang

director of municipal customs to prevent
destr ruction of the imperial palace Of the
forbidden city.
With some object in view the Russians
have oecup led the palace. Residen,
Americans hope negotiations will not
succeed. They think the city ought to
be completely destroyed, that Ma Tung

formed part of the cabal which caused
the murder of Baron Won Kettler and
attempted to massacre all the foreigners,

generation Of will repeat the crime.

THE Anti-Addicks politicians have
found another mares nest and are cack-
ling over what they imagine to be eggs
of golden promise. A Democrat to
whom the wish is father of the thought,
says he has discovered that the Union
Republicans are dissatisfied with the
course of Congressman Hoffecker, and
proceeds to tell the world that the Union
Republican party is to be split asunder
by rival Hoffecker and anti-Hokecker
factions. The source of this yarn brands
it as false. The littleness of it shows to
what desperate straits Anti-Addicks
politicians are reduced. So far as it now
appears the Hon. John IL. Hoffecker
will be renominated for the office he
now fills, and that will not depend upon
his success or failure in wrestling APP
pointments from the postal authorities
controlled by Charles Emory Smith, an
unreasoning opponent, and, so far as he
can be, prosecutor of Union Republic
cans. The unity of the Union Republi.
can party will not, however, be impaired
if Mr.. Hoffecker should not be renomi.

DREAMS go by contraries.

loNClDs
Democratic political prophecies go by
contraries. When they predict evil, good
ensues; when they promise good, evil
comes. This is broad teaching of
American political history-a teaching
the truth of which is seli-evident.
Applying the homely adage about
dreams to the facts of history We have
given, suggests dreamland origin of
Democratic political theories and policies
"a dreamland OF nightmare horrors.
Democratic prophets are wailing Jere-
miahs always-that is when not engaged
in trying to verify their prophecies Of
evil-predicting the overthrow Of the
Republic; they have been at this since
the beginning of our political history.
Assuming to be Interpreters of the Dec
laration Of Independence, they have been
from the very frst-are now-denying
its fundamental truth. In every Demo-
cratic State, at least of the Solid South
out of which these prophets OF evil
expect to get enough votes to
elect Democratic President of the
United States, American born citi-
z2ns have been deliberately disfran-
chised-invioation Of the word and
spirit Of tie Declaration Of Independence
and OF the Constitution of the United
States-in order that Democrats may
govern this country-and ruin it. These
wailing Jeremiahs are abroad in the
land today. They are prating OF the
Declaration of Independence, OF the
Constitution and the flag, as OF old.
They are apparently very anxious that
the Cubans, the Puerto Ricans and the
Filipinos shall enjoy all possible bless.
ings under these glorious instruments OF
political liberty, of political equality and
protection in their enjoyment. They are
not, however, willing to deal justly by
their fellow citizens and neighbors.
. To these prophets of political evil,
to accord rights to their neigh
bors means the ruin OF the
Republic, while the saving of it de-
mands the bestowal of these rights to
people who-these prophets declare
are not capable OF them to exercise. These
prophets whose political predecessors
waged war of conquest, and conquered
an imperial domain for slavery, who

ANOTHER claimant for the right to use
the streets Of this city for gas mains and
the like has been discovered, aud it is
announced that it will make application
to the Street and Sewer Directors for per-
mission to exercise the privileges named
in the charter. 1t has been claimed for
this newly discovered corporation that
it would not need to ask permission of
the Street and Sewer Directors to use
the streets, because its charter ante
dated the existence of that body. That
is exactly the situation in the Oxy-
Hydrogen Company's case. 1t is q fair
inference. That these charters were
made subject to regulations imposed by
City Council, and the further fact that
the authority of Council has been trans
ferred to the Street and Sewer Directors,
does not confer upon the directors a
right to abrogate charter granted by
the State Assembly. The obligation is
upon the chartered companies to ask per-
mission of the constituted authority,
and a counter obligation rests upon that
authority to grant what is asked under
reasonable regulations. The command
to grant is mandatory, and the making
OF reasonable regulations includes the
full scope of the departments authority
The refusal to do this by the depart
ment is an outrage that is inexcus
