The Chinese Co,npIications.

The Chinese situation can hardly be said
to show any improvement. Reports con-
tinue to indicate that the southern prov
1nces are on the point of open rebellion
against the Manchu dynasty. Should that
happen there VIII be serious complications.
and the various powers with territory 10
protect will have their hands full. In the
meantime, the weight of opinion seems to
favor the view that the recent Chinese
edict ordering the punishment of Prince
Tuan and other criminals of high degree
is insincere and that the Government has
no idea whatever of Furnishing them in any
way. The extreme anti-foreign element
with Tuan at its head, is as much in con-
troll of the Court as it ever was.
Diplomatic conditions are the reverse of
satisfactory. The Russian suggestion that.
in the event Of a continued divergence of
opinion nong the powers, differences
might properly be referred to the perma-
nent court of arbitration at The Hague,
is generally interpreted to mean that Rus
sa would like to obtain delay until her
grasp upon Manchuria has beer made firm
and fast. OF course, as Marquis Ito, of
Japan, has reminded US, Russia does not
desire any territorial aggrandizement at
the expense of China, and will evacuate
Manchuria the minute she receives a cash
indemnity. But everybody knows that
China will never be able to raise that
cash, even if willing to try; and it is cur
rentlt reported in Tientsin that the En-
press Dowager has ordered Ii Hung Chang
not to consider any demands for indemnity
territorial or other.
1t may be almost taken for granted that
the end of the Chinese war, if it is to
hayS aa end, will find the European pow

a redemption in money, which is never

sires TO partition China, any more than
Russia expects to retain Port Arthur af-
ter the ninety -nine-year lease expires.
Bet circumstances are stronger than alb
stract principles and promises, and since
there is no possible hope of collecting an
adequate or tolerable cash indemnity
from China, the settlement, if there ever
be one, necessarily must be upon real
estate basis,
This is a matter of interest to the
United States since our claims against
China. merely for the property Of Ameri-
can citizens destroyed must aggregate a
large sum. AS for exemplary damages,
on account of the attacks on our legation,
the torture and massacre of Americans,
including women and children, at Paoting-
fu. and other outrages. there is hardly a
chance that we could collect any. Indeed
it is to be doubted that We shall be able

Hoar ON Things Generally.

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts deliv-
cred what the dispatches call cam
paign address" yesterday, at Concord,
New Hampshire In reality, it was a
harangue full of bitterness and venom
directed at the Democratic Presidential
candidate of whose election Mr. Hoar
must feel reasonably certain in what IS
left of his mind or he would not be 50
unduly} excited over the matter.
He declared that if the trusts were bad,
a proposition which, of course, he did
not admit, as they keep him in his seat
in the Senate. the election Of Mr.. Bryan
would be worse-for the trusts, we sup
pose. The trouble with Mr.. Hoar IS
that he is still intelligent enough to
realize the pitiable spectacle he presents
TO the country. He is supporting for the
Presidency a man whom he has regularly
abused and denounced for year, as
tyrant, a despot, Caesar, and all sorts
OF things, and now sacrifices his princi-
pies and stultifes his position as an
anti-imperialist, because he will not
withdraw his hands from the trust flesh
pots that form the paramount campaign
issue from his viewpoint
But even eerebrally fevered and infuri-
ated orators like this aged gentleman
sometimes are betrayed into the state
ment Of truth, when nothing is farther
from their intention. In his speech yes
tcrday, Mr.. Hoar said; ''You cannot mix
tyranny, dishonor broken faith, and Ii
cense in one cup and have constitutional
liberty as a result OF the mixture!" We
are in hearty agreement with 5hat senti-
ment Indeed, you car not mix the ty-
Tanny of the Coal Trust in Pennsylvania.

Administration n Porto Rico, and the Iii

ana have constitutional liberty as re-
sult Of the mixture"
Constitutional liberty will never be con-
served by party or an Administration
that does not hesitate TO violate and defy
the Constitution when commanded to do
so by a combination of Mr. Hoar's favorite
trusts. Constitutional liberty is not .
plant TO grow from the soil OF an Ameri
can territory cruelty and criminally denied
rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
Constitutional liberty IS not q possible

their sole benefit.
We have never expected the Hon. George

POSTAL RECEIPTS DECREASE.
A Showing That Does Not supper
the Prosperity Claims.

Showing That Does Not Support
the Prosperity Claims.
Is it possible that the era of prosperity"
of which the country has heard so much
from Republican orators during the past
few months and which has been so indus
triously and emphatically dinned into the
ear of the voters by representatives of the
trusts, is now beginning to wane?
Judging from the postal receipts of the
fifty largest postoff1ces OF the country for
the month of September, 1900. as compared
with those of September. 1899, it seems
as though business was rapidly falling off
and the business OF 1S98-99 was. as has
been contended by the Democrats. only a
squirt AS the postal receipts of these
cities increased with leaps and bounds dur
ing the two preceding years, the Repub-
lfcans were accus toned to point to them
with pride as reliable barometer of bust
ness conditions. and discourse fuently on
how rapidly business was increasing as
indicated by the phenomenal growth eff the
postal receipts. What will they say now,
when fourteen of the fifty cities show q
decrease in receipts, the largest number
in four years? VIII they admit that the
prosperity has reached its zenith, and
the next few years will witness a decline
In commerce regardless of who is elected :?
Will they admit that business was not as
good last September as during September,
1899. because the postal receipts show a
falling off in fourteen cities, or 2S per
cent on the whole number?
Admitting the increase more than Off
sets the decrease, still the fact remains
that there has undoubtedly been a shrink
ing of business in these fourteen cities.
The decreases are as follows:
Boston, So. 994, or Al per cent; Balti-
more. S45S, or 6 per cent; San Francisco,
$10,217, or lis per cent; Washington, ST.
546, or per cent; Louisville s3,532, or
81 per cent: Rochester, 500. or Is per
cent; Toledo 1854. or 8.5 per cent; Lowell

na held with his advisers in New York he
told them he looked for a much smaller

that he expected Mr.. Bryan would receive
a larger proportion of the popular vote
than he received four years ago. Indeed,

alert, and determined but the Admins
tratioR organs are claiming with
singular unanimity that this an
cient rule does not apply to the present
case either in New York or Ohio They
are claiming that the Unexpectedly large
registration shows that at last the Re
publican masses have been aroused from
lethargy, and that it is they, and not the
Democrats. who are getting their names
on the poll books in such large numbers.
At the same time the Democratic man
ayers are very much gratifled with the
progress of registration. and declare that
If the pace is kept up to the close it will
be shown that more Democrats than Re-
publfcans have qualified to vote in the
close States. Nobody is able to account
for the remarkable showing made in the
registration in Ohio except upon the
theory that both parties there have been
doing much harder work than was indi-
Gated by their quiet conduct. 1t is not
believed that however hard the party
workers may try they will be able to
qualify as big vote in the Presidents
State as was cast there in 1896
and # this proves to be the case 1t
cannot be denied that the condition will
be favorable TO the Democrats. 1t is
known that very effective work for Mr..
Bryan has been in progress in Ohio for
several weeks. and that a knowledge of
this important fact was what induced Mr..
