While the dispatches from the ambassa
doris shut up in the British legation at
Pekin show the present situation, they
throw little or no light on what has been
going on there. Up to a certain time
the legation was subjected to continual
though not very effective bombardment.
That has now ceased, apparently, by
some sort of arrangement, but the legation
is still surrounded and exposed to desul-
tory rifle fire. We are still completely
in the dark as to the particular source
from which the attack upon the legation
has come, whether from a mob or from
the government. To be sure the attacks
are attributed to Chinese troops, but it
does not necessarily follow that they are
acting under the direction of the govern
ment. They may have revolted and
Joined the mob. DR.. Morrison, the cor
respondent Of the London Times, has ac-
cused the Chinese government with
secretly, at least, melting the assaults,
but the ministers have sent nothing eth =
er confrmatory or contradictory of this.
Perhaps their reticence may be due to the
fact that they have TO send their messages
through the Chinese government, though
as their dispatches are written in cipher
this explanation does not seem quite
sufficient. There are Indications enough.

the anti-foreign element is in control,

The New Orleans Times Democrat
commenting on some remarks made re.
Gently by the PRESS on the burning of
the Thomy Iafon school by the New Or
leans mob says the school was not built
by money left by Lafon for that purpose,
but was erected by the city of New Or
leans. by council that was unanimously
Democratic and wholly white 1t was
named after Lafon by board composed
wholly of white Democrats. These facts,
in the Times-Democrat's opinion, go far
to nullify the idea that there is any
prejudice against the blacks In New Or
leans The PRESS inferred the exis-
tence of race hatred from the operations
of the mob. When a mob shoots none
but negroes, when it searches out negroes
for the purpose of shooting them, AMI
when the negroes shot have been guilty
of no crime or offence and are peacefully
pursuing their vocations it is reasonable
to assume that there exists in the COM
munity in which these things take place
some prejudice against the black man
which does not exist against the white
man. 1t is possibly an unfounded assump-
tion. but the fact that Democratic white
council once built school building for
negroes, that it named it after negro,
and that the particular negro after whom
1T WAS named had amassed a fortune and
left it half to the whites and half to the
blacks Is not conclusive proof that it is
unfounded 1t frequently happens that
some individual of race is respected in
a community while the race in general is
despised.

ecies which he INDUCED in in his speech
of acceptance,
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1900-08-10

The fact that Mr.. Bryan devoted his
whole reply to the speech of notification
to the question of so called Imperialism
would seem to indicate that he would
like to keep the question of free silver in
the background. It was not great
while ago that he declared that silver was
still the most important question before
the country. Why it has become of so
little Importance, In Mr.. Bryan's opin-
ion, as to be ignored on such an occasion
as that at indianapolis Mr.. Bryan him
self can only conclusively explain. 1t
Is reasonable to suppose, however, that
he has discovered that his free
silver doctrine is a source of weakness,
that it is alternating from him all the
business elements of the community, and
that it is worrying the labor element who
have a greater stake in a sound and stable
currency than any other class, and hence
would like to get it out of the minds OF
the people. 1t may be said that if Mr..
Bryan had been anxious to obscure free
silver he would have kept it out of the
platform, as he might have done. But it
was necessary to put it in there to hold
the Populists. Besides many signs of
the unpopularity of the free silver idea
have made their appearance since the con
vention, which were not apparent before.
The long procession of Democrats who
have declared their intention of voting
for Mckinley is one of them. But what
ever the considerations that may have
influenced Mr.. Bryan it seems to be clear
enough that his purpose is to push i'm
perialism to the front and free silver to
the rear. The people settle the q uestion
of issues, however, and not the candidate

REPUBLICANS AND IMPERIALISM.
(Manchester Mirror.)
Manhood has become royal thing due
to the efforts of the Republican party to
dignity and verify the sovereignty of
manhood, Power has drifted down to
the masses who became conscious of
their power through the work of such
men as Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Harri-
son and Mckinley, who in camp, in bat
tie and in the councils Of the nation have
made our country the envy of the world.
The policy of the Republican party has
gone on in advance of the flag, CARRYING
some of the blessings of liberty to peoples
and countries, who have never seen the
banner of glory and freedom. 10 charge
imperialism to the party which was CON
ce1yed by freemen, was rocked by liberty
and grew into vigorous manhood on the
strong heart of personal sovereignty, is to
distOrt history, deny the truth and betray
the fact that the opponents Of the party
think a falsehOOd is better than the truth
