Under date of Belfast. Aug. IS, Lord
Roberts telegraphs the war Office as fol-
lows:
Buffers advanced troops occupied
Machadodorp this afternoon. The enemy
made a very poor stand and retired in a
northerly direction.
''They were followed by Dundonald's
mounted troops. These could not proceed
beyond Helvetia owing to the difficult ma
ture of the country and because the ene-
my was enabled to take up a position too
strong to be dislodged by mounted troops.
General Butler appears to have had
few casualties.
General French continued his move

ANYTHING else. He Will simply tell you
that it is so, AID let it 90 at that. He
does not trouble, usually, to think out
any reason for anything. And yet
some of the subtleties of the Chinese
mind are beyond imagination, as many
missionaries have discovered to their
undoing. The difficulty lies in know
ing whom to trust.
During the riots those pupils whom
they have thought most sincere and
devoted have proved the most treach-
erous and devoid of gratitude. Yet
here again comes in the contradiction,
inevitable in speaking of Chinese
matters-many times have Chinese
converts sacrificed their lives in de-
Tense Of their teachers.
Very often foreigners unwittingly
commit serious breaches of etiquette
which would render a Chlnaman liable
40 severe punishment. They escape ow-
ing to their foreign citizenship, which
tends to infiame still further the Chi
nese mind against the foreign devils"

GENUINE RECIPROCITY.
That which Does Not Sacrifice the
Principle Of Protection.

No plank ia the Republican platforms
viii more strongly commend itself to
the voters than the reference to reel
procity, which is in the following Lam
guage:
I'VE favor the policy of reciprocity,
so directed as to open our markets on
favorable terms for what we do not
ourselves produce in return for free
foreign markets"
That doctrine will be Endorsed by
every protectlonist. 1t Is the inter
probation of reciprocity" which we
long have sought and mourned be-
cause we found it not. 1t definitely
excludes such travesties of reciprocity
as the French, Argentine, Portuguese
and other treaties in which some Amer
lean interests have been compelled to
suffer injury in order that others might
profit In the absence Of an explicit
definition of reciprocity in previous Re
publican platforms it has been possible
under the guise of reciprocity" to
negotiate treaties of this kind which
Were i'll advised, unjust and destruc-
tive of the principle of protection. The
Chronicle vigorously opposed all of
them and regretted that some stalwart
Republicans and protectionists We're
inyeigled into giving them approval
There will be no more Of them.
The Republican party now stands
committed TO sacrifice no American in
terest for the sake of promoting for
eign trade. That will precisely suit
the fruit growers and wool growers of
California, who have usually been
selected as victims when sacrifices
were to be offered. But while local in
terests may to some extent have spur
ed The Chronicle to its efforts to defeat
proposed treaties the main ground of
its opposition has been that they vio-
lated the principle of protection. which
is the chief bulwark of Republican doc
trine and the safety of all Of us, The
intent of the Republican party In re-
gard to reciprocity matters is now
stated in unequivocal terms, and no
American interest need fear while
that party is in power. 1t is happy
ending to a controversy which has
been annoying and will solidify the
party in this state and elsewhere

IN HARMONY WITH THE GOVERNOR

The Democrat is right when it says
that men should be sent to the legis-
lature who will act in harmony with
Dockery, who is sure to be Missouri
next governor. They should not
only act in harmony with the COVER
nor in his appointments, his recon-
mendations for needed legislation and
in all matters pertaining 10 the adj
ministration ofstate affairs. but they
should be in harmony with him upon
all the great party principles. These
men should come to the democratic
feast with pure hearts and clean
hands. They should be right upon
the money question. the great princi-
pie upon which the fight of 1896 was
made, and from which the democratic
party of 1900 will not recede one lot
or little. They should be heart and
which are felt i'll the home ofeverv poor
man throughout the length and
breadth OF this broad land Above
all they should be right and in perfect
harmony with Governor Dockerv in
opposition to imperialism, and in
sympathy with our party leaders on
that question. They should be, in |
the language of Judge DeArmond, |
for the Republic and against the
Empire. 1t is hard to change a |
mans feelings and sentiments CON
trary to his calling and occupation.
\ mans Judgment is influenced large
" by his environments. liam honest
man accepts commission and goes
off to a distant land to fight for

hat cause is right and just, else he
would make a very poor, half hearted
soldier. This is demonstrated in the
,ase of General Joe Wheeler. as brave
soldier and gallant a knight as ever

Ventfui career he Is at variance with
