The Intelligencer's count of the
night parade on the occasion of the
visit of Governor Roosevelt to this
city, gave a total of 1870 men in line.
OF this total taking the Intelligencer' s
figures, there were 2SS musicians and
1880 marchers from cities and towns
outside of Wheeling, from which there
was no representation in last nights
Democratic parade. The two items
MAKE a total of 1868. which, deducted
from 1870, leaves 500 as the number
of Republican marchers from Wheel
ing and the towns represented in the
demonstration of that night. The DEM
ocratic column was counted twice by
Register reporters. One count was
1,040 the other 1,073 A fair average
would be 1850 Deducting 502 from
that number and the difference is 54S,
showing that the local Democratic
turnout in welcome to Holt, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, was
more than twice as large as the local
Republican turnout in honor of Roose-
welt, the Republican Vice Presidential
candidate. Nuf 'sed.

SAVE OUR OWN PEOPLE.

Whatever opinions may be held by the
politicians as to the wisdom or unwisdom
of the United States interfering in the
troubles in China, there is one thing GER
| tain. and that is, there are, unless they
have ere this been massacred, almost 100
American citizens cooped up in the Brit
ish legation buildings at Picking, and sur
rounded on all sides by b!oodthirsty
horde of Chinese who thirst for their
blood and will put them to death if they
can, with horrible tortures
And while these American citizens face
q frightful death, the armed forces of
the European and other powers designed
to afford relief to the besieged white peo-
| pie at Picking are. rendered powerless to
give aid and succor because Of the petty
| jealousies Of the Great Powers" Each
is afraid the other will reap some adj
vantage which it will not, and so they
strive to prevent any one from taking the
| initiative
This is simply cold-blooded murder of
| our people, and the United States should
| not tolerate such horrifying state of
! affairs for one minute, as soon as it has
a sufficiently powerful force on the
| ground at Tien Tsin to assert itself.
Miserable acquisitions of Chinese terri
tory have no attraction for the American
people, when the lives Of our kith and
kin are in peril.

be in such frightful peril, if indeed they
are not now slain. is published in a Chi

the government plat and field notes to
be swampy in character, the state has
claimed the tract. When the major por-
ton was shown by the same to be dry
arabic land, the state has advanced no
claim, holding that the evidence of the
survey was final
But the general land office has not at
any time been true to the compact. 1t
has at all times admitted outside evil
dence, often wholly incompetent and IN
expert and given often for mereenary
motives by private individuals, to weigh
against the work and testimony of its
own sworn official surveyors, and often
to outweigh the supposedly conclusive
evidence of government plat and field
rtles In this manner the atate's just
claims have been rejected, in hundreds
of cases, in favor Of some private claim
ant, and the people of Minnesota have
been deprived of what was justly theirs
for enrichment of individuals.
After having destroyed the value Of
the records CT the public lands by allow
ing them to be upset by extraneous test-
mony,, often of the fimsiest kind, it
would be interesting to have the general
! land office officials at Washington ex-
plain what weight and value their Office
records carry. Much of these records is
simply of no value at all, and the Of
f1cials have allowed the permanent Of
fetal records to be tempered with and
destroyed.
The Globe understands that Gov.
Lind has undertaken to bring this ques-
ton to an ISSUE and to prevent, if pos
sible, further losses to the state by rea-
son of the acts of the Washington land
office officials. 1t is probable the courts
will be called upon to lend their aid in
restraining these officials from further
depriving the state of lands to which it
may be justly entitled, and to hold the
government to the compact it made with
the state in the early sixties.
If Gov. Lind can compel the commits
sioner of the general land office and
the secretary of the interior to main
general land office, he will have accom-
plished something which will save the
state thousands of acres of land and
hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The river to Taku IS full Of floating
bodies, and many have been washed up
by the tide. Dogs are feeding on these
bodies along the banks.
The small American contingents every
where distinguish themselves. Capt. NC
Gala and Maj. Walter are most popular
at Tien Tsin. Their men are placed in
the lead of every movement. By COM
mon consent the British are close beside
them. The foreigners in Tien Tsin de-
clare, however, that they owe their lives
to the Russians, without whom the other
small attachments must have been over
whelmed on that darkest Wednesday
when the Chinese were pressing on every
side and the bravest men were abandon
ing hope. The Russian commander. Col
Wozack, arranged the main body with
the civilians to make a sortie In the di-
rection of Taku. He left 400 Russians TO
defend the city and engage the atten-
ton of the Chinese, the intention being
for them to ultimately sacrifice them
selves. The arrival Of the Americans
saved the day Their arrival proved a
complete surprise.
Among the military evidences of i'm
mense military preparations for war may
be mentioned that arsenals and stores
hitherto unknown have been discovered,
with $lOOO,OO0 worth of arms and ammu-
milton Of the most modern type. The 50
arms and ammunition have been de-
stroyed in three arsenals outside of Tien
Tsin. Several thousand troops under Gen.

WITHDRAWAL OF ToWNE.
PoDuIists Fear 1t Might Disrup4
Their Organization.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 6-The con-
ference of the representatives of the
three parties developed a peculiar situa-
tlon IN some respects. The Democrats
We're anxious for the withdrawal of
Towne from the Populist ticket, and the
Silver Republicans said that, so far as
they were concerned, they would,
through their committee, nominate Stew
enson for vice president, although pro-
foundly disappointed that Towne was not
nominated by the Democratic convention.
The Populists were not in favor of the
withdrawal Of Towne, and maintained
that the Populist national committee,
acting under instructions of the Sioux
Falls convention, would be compelled to
put another candidate in the field If
TOWne should withdraw, and the COM
mittee could not withdraw him. More
than that. they asserted that If Towne
should be withdrawn, and they should not
place another man in his place their or
gantzation would be endangered, and such
action would result in POpulists going
over to the BIiddle-of-the-Road ticket
nominated in Cincinnati. This would les
sen the chances of carrying states in the
West and intermountain country. It was
also said that Mr.. Bryan had been ap-
prISed of the situation and several men
had received word to keep Towne on the
ticket and run a double-tailed ticket in
order to hold Populists and Silver Repub-
licanS in the Western states.
The fact that a number of federal
senatorships depended upon the success
of the fusion of all forces was given as a
reason why the Populist ticket should be
kept in the field. TWAS claimed by the
Popuists that two senaors in Nebraska.
one in South Dakota, one in Kansas, one
In Colorado and possibly one in Wyoming
depended upon perfect fusion Of the throA
forces.
The Populists made a plea for delay,
saying that thirty days from now they
would have had an opportunity to confer
with their people, and the conditions
which might make necessary the withc
drawal of Towne or his retention would
then be better understood.
When the conference had broken up no
conclusion had been reached, the Popu-
lists and Silver men going back to their
respective national committees with the
understanding that the three committees
should meet in the morning.

We know that what
You know is not
What may not be relied on,

A we'll known official of the war de-
partment, who relates this little story,
declares that 1t is really true. The par
ties concerned are both clerks in the de-
partment mentioned. at least one Of them
is, while the other was up to a few days
ago.
1t seems that very recently a. popular
young man of the Northwest was invited
to a card party. Among other guests
he met for the first time young lady,
unusually pretty. if not beautiful. and
unquestionably attractive. For a few
fleeing moments he CHANGED to be her
partner at one of the tables. "A great deal
may happen during a brief period, how
ever. While the cards were being dealt
the conversation was directed toward the
Paris exposition, and the young lady re-
marked:
II would marry anybody who would
take me to Paris for the exposition"
DO you mean that?" inquired her card
partner.
II most certainly do" was the reply.
"I am going to Paris then announced
her partner; will you marry me?"
why, Of course was the laughing
agreement.
The bell at the head Of the table rang,
the parties changed their seats, and the
little affair was apparently thing Of the
past. 1t CHANGED that the young man
was asked to escort the young lady home
that night. Before reaching her resi-
dence details had bene arranged. and they
were actually married the following day.
Some of her female friends say that
she is sorry now because she has found
that she does not like him so very much.
At all events they are going to Paris this
month.
