LATE press dispatcher confim previ-
Gus reports of the massacre of all the
foreign government representatives at
Pekin, and SUPPOSEDLY of all the foreign
residents. The situation is without
precedent i'm all history and it is to he
hoped that it may never have a paral-
lei. The civilized world is staggered
by the awfulness of the crime and by
the fact that it was apparently abetted
ifnot actually planned by high officials
of the imperial government. 1t is a
frightful beginning of what is likely to
be a long period of anarchy and blood.

OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE

"The gravity of the situation can
only be understood by giving due en-
phasis TO the fact that this seems to be
a movement of the Chinese people, re-
CARELESS of dynasty or government.
The rising of u people is more mo-
mentous event than an ordinary clash
with a government. The Chinese peo-
pie took no interest i'm the japanese
war-few of them knew of its progress.
Earlier conflicts between the Pekin
authorities and western powers were
too brief and too well CLOSED over by
the imperial government to cause any
national uprising or stir the empire be-
meath the placid service of its life. In
recent years, however, the real nature
of the situation has been dawnIng upon
the Chinese masses. The aggressions
of the powers during the past five years
have been too bold and glaring to per-
nit their significance to escape the
keen Oriental mind. The result is
'JDelT Wtuc-SDIedu DcHSi, pS ISiohop
Cranston, of Colorado, says, that it is
the policy of the nations to dismember
the empire n belief which produced n
condition bordering on frenzy 1t
has been common for writers on China
to say that the Chinese have no patri-
otsn, but that view is not unlikely to
be exploded, if the uprising of the Box
ers has not already exploded it. The
people, at least, seem to have found
common ground in hatred of foreign
ers, and that passion may easily pass
for patriotism so long as foreign influ-
ence is regarded as an assault upon all
that the Chinese hold dear and sacred.
If, then, this is a popular movement
so powerful that the imperial govern
ment has been impotent against it, if
not actually in alliance with it, the
character of the crisis must be viewed
rs serious beyond all precedent since
the East and the West first came into
actual collision early in the nineteenth
entury."-Springfield Republican.

THE probability is that the popula.
ton of the state and of the principal
cities has been considerably overesti-
mated. Seattle, for instance, instead
of having $1,000, is said to fall below
$4,000, and proportionately large
shrinkages are likely to develop in
most of the large towns. Whatcom,
for example, has been claiming 5000,
but the Herald, of Fairhaven, where
the census supervisor for Western
Washington lives, says it is less than
$500, while that of Fairhaven is ap.
proXimately 4,200. The exact figures
for this county are not attasnable, but
they are understood to be little under
5000. etH

"China possesses every requisite for
Overrunning the world. She has a
population of four hundred million, all
speaking the same language or dialect,
readily understood from one end of the
empire to the other. She has enorm-
ously developed wealth and still more
enormous natural wealth awaiting de-
velopment. Her men, if properly
drilled and led, are admirable soldiers.
They are plucky and able to live on
next to nothing. Moreover, they are
absolutely fearless Of death. Begin
with the foundation of millions upon
millions of such soldiers as these men
are capable of being made, and tell me,
if you can, where the end will be."-

Our Railroads.

The following official statement con-
corning the railroads of the United
States for the years ending June 30,
1895, and 1899, is instructive:
Number employees 1895, 1856, O34; 1899,
92S, 1924; increase, l43,S90.
Total yearly wages, 1895, S445 sos, 261

In this branch of American industry
alone there has been an increase of
l44 900 people employed since the last
Democratic administration, and an an
nual increase of nearly ST., 500, 900 in
wages paid. Almost the whole of il
was additional money expended in
purchasing the products of our farms
and factories.
The increase of o63, OOO,O 900 tons of
freight carried by the roads gives an
idea Of the extent that business has
been improved.
Under the new financial law the net
savings of the government on the re.
funding provision were S7,26S,S 1S, UP
to June |. Applications for banks with
capital of less than $50, 900 numbered
264. With a capital of $50, 900 and over
there We're seventy-two applications.
During the seven months ending
January 81, imports at Porto Rico
amounted to $6,2l9, l19, of when $685..
754 came from the United States.
The direct cost of the war with
Spain, including appropriations for the
next twelve months, has amounted to
1924 ,OOO, 900.

A New Version.

The politician is my shepherd; I shall
not want for any good thing during
the campaign. He leadeth me (the
night before the electionD into the
saloon for my votes sake; he filleth
my pockets with good cigars, and my
glass of beer runneth over. He pre-
pareth my ticket for me in the pres.
ence of my better judgment. Yea,
though walk through the mud and
rain to vote for him and shout myself
hoarse when he is elected, straightway
he forgetteth me. 10, when l meeteth
him in his office he knOweth me not.
Surely the wool hath been pulled over
mine eyes all the days of my life and l
will kick myself forever.-Ex.

II all shades of Democrats and Pop

diabolical work which far transcends
mortal powers of comprehension, the

WHILE all the appropriations made
during the last session of congress were
S24 900, 900 larger than i'm 1900, it should

be expended in taking the census and
upwards of seventeen millions will be
used for improving the postal service,
while another seven millions will be
spent in increasing our navy. In

From Notes OF ''The Man With
the Hoe.n
By THE AUTHOR, EDWIN MARKHAM.

By THE AUTHOR, EDWIN MARKHAM.
"Nlillet's "Man With the Hoe" Is to
me the most solemnly Impressive of
all modern paintings. AS l look
upon the august ruin that it pictures,
| sometimes dare to think that its
strength surpasses the power of
Michael Angelo.
To me it comes wrapped around
with more terror than the fearsome
shapes in DaLte. This HOeman is
ON earth; he walks among US. This
stolid and stunned peasant is the
type of industrial oppression in all
lands and in all labors. He might
he a man with a needle in New
York sweat shop, a man with pick
in West Virginia coal mine, a man
with a hoe in London alley, man
with spade on the banks Of the
Zuydcr Zee. The HOeman is the
symbol of betrayed humanity, the
TOiler ground down through ages Of
oppression through ages of social
injustice. He is the man pushed
away from the land by those who
fail to use the land, till at last he has
become a serf, with no mind in his
muscle and no heart in his handi-
work. He is the man pushed back
and shrunk-n up by the special pri-
vileges conferred upon the Few.
The HOeman is the effigy of mar,
a being with no outlet to his life, no
uplift to his soul-a being with no
time to rest, no time to think, no
time to pray, no time for the mighty
hopes that make US men.
His battle has not been confined
to his own life; it extends backward
in grim and shadOwy outline through
his long train of ancestry.
He was seen of old among the
brckmakers of Egypt, among the
millions who lifted wearily the walls
of Ilium, who carved the pillars OF
Karnak, and paved the Appian Way.
He is seen today among the stopped,
silent workers who build London and
beautlfy her tombs and palaces.
These were some of the memories
and agitatiOns that pressed upon my
soul as | stood in presence OF thus
dread thing-the Accuser OF the
world.
So l was forced to utter the awe
and grief Of my spirit for the ruined
majesty of this son of God. So, the
poem took shape. 1t sprang from
my long purpose to speak a word fol
the Humiliated and the Wronged.
have horne my witness. 1t is said
1t is truth, let it stand"

Looking for q Bride.

By the disappearance of Miss Ida
Owens f,Om her home, 7011 Western
avenue, Chicago, Wednesday, May 2,
q romantic courtship, which was to
have eliminated in marriage the next
day with James Menzes was cut

she would :cturn by night When
night came, however. the girl was
not TO be found, and Menzes set the
police of South EnglewoOa in search
of her, with a reward of $500 for the
return of bis bride. Her parents are
nearly prostratcd with fear for her
safety. Menzss, who is nearly twice
Idas age, fell 10 love with her when
she was a child.-Chicago Record.
