People who look beneath the surface of
passing events will not be surprised if
confirmation of the horrible story of a
butchery of foreigners in Pekin should
bring large degree of embarrassment to
the Administration. AT least. it is not
improbable that American citizens who
have lost those near and dear to them
under the narrowing conditions of which
We are almost certain to hear, will be more
than mildly critical of the course of our
authorities.
About two months ago. our Minister to
China. Mr.. Conger, advised the State De-
partment of the dangers of the situa-
ton. and We are much mistaken if he did
not ask directly for military protection
on a scale far beyond that accorded to him.
There is growing to be a very positive
opinion among friends CT the supposed VIC
tins generally, that the Ministers wished
sumed they did understand. that an i'm
mediate reinforcement of the legation
guards was imminently necessary for the
purpose of covering an early retreat of the
oreign colony to the coast
The fact that political considerations de-
erred Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Hay from
-esorting to more vigorous measures than
hey were willing to until after effective
action became impossible. may excuse their
seeming indifference to themselves. But
he people who are bereaved By the Pekin
'utchery will moi make many allowances
1r anxieties and prescriptions incident
D the Philadelphia Convention, and the
play CT politics on the front porch at Cam
en-. We are apprehensive that they will
-egard both as things which should have
'>een subordinated to the frightful peril of
he Americans and their women and chill
rem in China's capital. When the con-
rnatory news comes and the worst is
-own, there is ground for believing that

Although we are only occupying Cuba
for the good of the island, and to provide
for it a stable government, and not from
any selfish motive whatever, the Admins
tration does occasionally permit itself 10
indulge in actions which rather indicate
an opposite tendency. We may assume that
after centuries of Spanish misrule and
tiers purely political and need education
before being permitted to handle their own
questions of state. But there is no appa-
rent reason to think that the same kind
of theory should be applied to their COM
mercial class, who are as competent TO
think and act on business subjects as the
merchants of any part of the United
States
In the preparation Of the Cuban tariff,
it is thing at once remarkable and sig
nificant that the merchants of Havana
were not consulted in the least degree.
The schedules were prepared in Washing
ton by Robert z. Porter apparently under
the auspices and for the benefit of the
various American trusts Interested in Gu
ban trade. They were all complete when
Porter made a three days tour of investi-
cation last January. 1t is true that on
this occasion he granted two hearings Of
two hours each TO the Cuban business men.
1t is equally true that he paid not the
smallest heed 10 their objections and
protests.
Some time ago We called attention to
the favor which Porter's tariff shows to
the railway concsssionaires, with whom he
is said to be identified in a business way.
For example the average rate on locomo-
tives and construction material WAS ori gin
ally forty per cent ad valorem. But II has
been cut down TO ten per cent. making
difference TO the locomotive ard steel
trusts of at least half million dollars pro-
fit during the current year. Other cuts
and changes are bitterly complained OF in
letters from Cuba They are all in the
interest OF one or another monopoly.
We could-no consistently object to the
reduction of tariff charges on Cuban or
other foreign trade If they were made pro
bono pubiico; but when there is a Rookie
Teller a Havemeyer. Carnegie. or some
person of that sort behind every tariff ia
yor. and the equilibrium is maintained ~
taxing necessaries and comforts not pro-
duced by trusts. we are unable to regard
the method and practice as good policy u
common honesty.

The Issue. Before the Country.

(Fr0m the Louisville Courier -Journal.)
DoctripEl gui6dities apart-aHd we take leave to
doubt both their efficacy party weapons and
their virtue political prescriptions-the actual
lire u battle presents the same array Of forces,
which from the days of jefferson to this good
hour. has divided the country. On one side are
the unorganizrd masses of the people seeking the
greatest good 10 the greatest number. On the
other side are the regular troops OF the governing
classes, admirably organized and thoroughly
equipped. The leaders OF the people who take
upon themselves to direct the battle assume
terrible responsibility. Uptn their wisdom, OF
folly, their success or failure, hang the hopes
and fears OF millions of noble men and women,
who invest their all upon the hazard of the die;
simple. faithful. toiny men and women: who
earn their bread by the sweat Of their brow and
ask only OF Government equal chance in the
cruel strife Of life and labor There in front Of
them stand the anmored DICTIONARIES OF preroga-
tive and power; stall lied oxen OF the steeclad
Trusts sleek horses out Of the Augean stable,
Of political corruption, each mounted by trained
jockey fresh from the school of Plat and QUAY
and Hanna; oudinium gatherum of gamblers
with limitless treasury of doodle to draw upon:
and, waving over all, the milk-white flag with
which the pirate has time out OF mind lured thu,
lambs OF commerce.

TO CARE FOR CUBAN WAITS.
A board of Charity Commissioners
Appointed by General Wood.

HAVANA. July IA board of eleven
commissioners. one for each province and
five for the island at large. has been ap-
pointed by Governor-General Wood to
superintend the charity institutions Of the
island. AT present these institutions ara
scattered promiscuously, and small ones
are in existence at many places.
The Idea OF the commission is TO try
and amalgamate the small institutions into
two large homes which are to be estab-
lished in Havana, one for boys and enc for
girls These bones will be both reform
and industrial schools. where orphans and
waits will be fitted to earn their own liv-
ing. After the children have received an
education they will be sent out to work
On the sugar estates and farms. When
these charities have been properly ar
ranged it is believed the funds will be
ample for the purposes required.
Over s14 900. 900 are now at the disposal
Of the commission An agricultural home
will aso be established. The initial ex-
pen5iture. which Will be borne ty the
State. will soon be changed. it is believed.
into an income from the charity property
as soon as the commissioners get thu mat
ter well in hand

Of the window in surprisingly quick

horse We captured. and. arresting the men
IN the house. We rode back to Tuy.
The powder was OF poor quality. black
and fine. but sufficient in quantity 10 load
10000 rounds OF shells. The ladronss are
especially active over toward Aiphonso in
the mountain range OF that name. The
Americans make a daring, audacious dash
into the town. capturing arms, ammuni-
ton, and stores. and possibly some off,
cial and. returning few days later,
make another equally important capture
in house within stones throw from
that'in which the first capture was made.
The ladrones. while not standing up in
open combat, make feeble attempts at
ambushes and attacks.

lentless and treacherous. He protests the
stanchest friendship. partakes OF your
hospitality. mingles and associates witt
you, and on first opportunity cuts your
throat. In spite OF the patrols, in spite
of the searches. in spite OF the captures
made. the insurgents go on organizing. re-
cruiting. modifying. and arming men in
the very towns in the zone OF the patrols,
where, of course, they come to grief.

Truthful Historians.

In the international Monthly" for July.
Prof. J. II. Robinson, of Columbia Unlver
sity. makes n plea for accurate historical
teaching in schools and colleges He thinks
that in the ordinary history there is too
much yellow journalism. He says:
'Mr. Watson's description of the fcndaI system
scarcely extends beyond dungeons-'oh how damp,
dark. and cold,-knec-caEps and thunifscrcws
The nediacYal church was We might infer. LITTLE
more than the clever device oi evil maf: TO crafty
greed and iasciriousness, and Amounted in hum
bugs, frauds, and bogus miracles = To make true
statements IS not necessarily TO tell the truth
We may. like The yellow journalist na,rate
facts. but with such reckless disregard OF p,,r.
spectiye, and with such Il consistent anxict, In
startle at any cost. that unvarnsl 4 fiction woud
be preferable"
This will be rather new idea 10 the
average person. We have become so ac-
customed TO misrepresentation OF various
kinds In history that we scarcely notice
them, merely conceding the general truth
that at best, histories of the Middle Ages
and previous times are somewhat unreIia-
BILE. The idea that such salient points of
history ms the thumbscrew and the rack
ought not 10 be- dwelt on to the exclusion
Of all other features OF the life of that
