FORECASTS OF cHNA's FATE.

Out of China's present troubles there
the United States is in an excellent
position, according to the latest ad.
vices, to bring the reform about.--St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Kwang Hsu is the lawful ruler of
China. and certainly the powers, II
compelled to depose the Empress Dow
ager. could put no one on the throne
so likely to command loyal obedience.
-Leavsnworth Times.
With the exception of Russia no 9th
er great power is so closely connected
with China as the United States. The
voice OF America in the final settle
ment OF the Chinese question should
be potent and owerful.-Kansas City
Star.
II Russia could be trusted, she is the
power to which could be best assigned
the task of restoring order-but in as
signing this task the other powers
might be paving the way for their own
expulsion from the Chinese sphere OF
overwhelmingly Tribune.
1t must now be evident to every in
telligent Chinaman that his country Is
about to pass through great varieties
of untrled being" 1t depends upon the
Chinese themselves whether the in
evitable Transformation is to be accom-
plished peaceably, or whether it is to
be attended by dreadful carnage.-New
York Times.
However probable It may be that the
present Intervention Of outside powers
in the internal affairs of China will re-
suit eventually in the partition of that
great empire. it is by no means GER
tain that such an outcome would be
beneficial to the United States. 1t is
not unlikely that this country's ma
terlal interests would be best promoted
by continuation OF Chinese political
integrity Post-Intelllgencer.

In 1896, but the mention OF this fact
I'm the convention had little effect on
the delegates, though Ramsdell was
opposed by a strong man like Philip
Wachtel.
On the other hand. Populism was
recognized in the nomination for sec
rotary of state of John w. Ewing, OF
Grand Ledge, eX-cEairman Of the
Populist state committee.
THE old soldiers are represented in
the nomination of Hiram Il. Hudson,
of Mancelona, for auditor-general.
1t was not until the convention got
down to naming candidates for presi-
dental electors at large that the slight
of the Germans was noticed and then

between ID. j. Campau ana Mayor

Mr.. Campau for state chairman with

Maybury's campaign.
One Of the peculiarities Of the con-
vention was that not n single ballot
was completed, the weaker candidates
always withdrawing when they saw
they were beaten. This was only one
of the TNny Indications Of harmony,
and only one incident occurred to mar
the peace of the gathering.
When Senator George II. Monaghan
arose to nominate VIM. G. Maybury
for governor there was n shout of APP
prevail from the delegates at the mem
ton Of the mayors name. Senator
Monaghan predicted that Mr.. May
bury would be elected in November
He spoke of the corruption in the last
Republican legislature and among Re
publican state officials, and said these
things made conditions of great hope,
for the Democracy Of Michigan.
One after another OF the candidates
withdrew in favor of Maybury, and
on motion Of Mayor Perry of Grand
Rapids. the rules was suspended and
the secretary was instructed to cast
the unanimous vote of the convention
for VIM. C.. Maybury. This was the
signal for an uproar and the band
joined in, playing THE Star Spangled
Banner"

wealth, regret the present condition or

debauched our governmental system as

We sincerely deplore the corruptinS in

Ample nefensss Saws Salisbury.

London, July 30.-In the house or
lords the earl of Wemyss asked wheth-
or the premier, Lord Salisbury, had
received information confirming the
view of one of our military attaches
to the effect that it was all important
that England should be entirely unas-
sailable by November next, and wheth-
err he had satisfied himself that our
means of defense were such as to rem
der all attempts at invasion futile?'
Lord Salisbury replied that in his Al

any immediate danger He believed
the defenses were quite adequate, and
had every confidence in the future.

The Democratic State Convention,
for the purpose Of placing in nomina-
ton candidates for the various state
offices, was called to order in the
Auditorium, Detroit, at noon on the
25th.
1t was the feeling Of the convention
from the first that VIM. G. Maybury,
mayor OF Detroit, could poll more
votes than any other candidate, and
it was this confidence, together with
the good work performed by Justin
II. Whiting, of st. Clair, that the De-
troit mayor was made the nominee Of
the Michigan Democracy.
The convention was one of the few
great political gatherings that did its
work without the debauchery of
money or the dictation of bosses. If
there was any disposition to dictate 1t
was abandoned in the face of over
whelming sentiment
II was not an enthusiastic gathering.
It's tone was one of hope. There was
n realizing sense that a big natural
Republican majority would have TO be
overcome. as well as the 16 to l hadi-
cap. hut the bad record OF the last Re
publican legislature, the scandals of
the military board, and the use of
money in the recent Republican
primaries, made the delegates feel
that they had a fighting chance to win
in the state, and they were correspond
ingly anxious TO put forward their
best material.
1t took until 9 O'clock ut night 10
reach nomination for governor. but
after an hours recess the delegates
went on with their work and com
pleted their ticket.
