THE CRISIS IN CHINA.

There can be scarcely any eAagsera
ton of the awful gravity Of the situa-
ton in China.
No doubt can longer exist that there
has been committed the foulest crime IN
alI history-the massacre of all the For
eign Ministers. with their wives ard chill
Hren, and those of their attaches. lhe
world has never known such a gigantic
crime as this. There is also little doubt
that this was accompanied by tortures
and outrages that are beyond description.
A splendid American regiment, gal
lantly advancing TO the rescue, has been
cut to pieces with the lamentable loss OF
fine soldiers.
This brings us face to face with crisis
which we must met in the old-time Amer
lean way, with unconquerable courage
and determination. Not only our Ma
tional honor and dignity are involved, but
every interest of Christianity and Civil
cation. The whole civilized world is
aroused. and We must do our full share
for the sake of Christianity and human
ity. Our share must be prOportionate to
our strength, our wealth, our resources.
our interests, our civilization, our proS-
unity to the scene. In other words, our
share must be the principal one, as the
greatest Christian and civilized power on
earth.
In the face of this awful crisis the
voice of querulous cavil and carping crit
icism should be dumb. No matter what
is alleged TO have led up to this monstrous
crime, there should be only one voice as
to how we should deal with it. The whole
American people should be a mighty unit
In demanding that Christianity and hui
manity shall be indicated, and soulless
barbarism be repressed, no matter what
the cost.
The Administration is acting with
commendable vigor, and hurrying forward
about 11,000 men to China. 1t should
call for at least 100000 men to be ready
to Immediately follow them, if these
should not prove to be sufficient. This
ss no time for small men and halfway
measures. Severe economy of blood and
treasure demands that there should be no
soubt about the sufficiency of the force
sent. We have got the work to do, and
the more men we send now the fewer we
shall have to send later One hundred
thousand men now will be better than
100000 men in six months.r The Ad-
ministratiOn can have at least 100000
fairly trained men Immediately, and il
should avail itself of them and rise to the
level of one Of the greatest emergencies
in all history.

HoS. W. p. BRowNLow, of Tennessee,
who inflicted such a crushing defeat on
Henry Clay Evans, is attracting National
attention as capable political leader, and
the head of the Republican party in the
South. He is only 4S years of age, but
Gas accomplished wonders for himself in
that time. He belongs to the poor noun
tain whites, and is a nephew Of the ia
nous Parson Brownlow. He was born
near Abingdon, Va, and his father died
when he was u years old, leaving him
absolutely without money, education or
aught else but stout heart. He walked
300 miles to Nashville, to see his uncle,
but he was given cold reception, which
infused into him a savage determination
TO make something Of himself. He went
to work at the first thing that offered
assisting q carpenter-and then learned
the Timing business, and became good
workman. Next he sold sewing machines,
and then tombstones, and began studying
law. He had to quit this for a time to
support himself, and became fireman OH a
railroad, and then in an emergency ran
an engine. Then he found favor in the
sight of his distinguished uncle, who made
him a reporter on his Knoxville paper.
Then he bought paper of his own, at
Jonesville, Tenn, and in 1850 entered pol
itics. He is now serving his second term
in Congress, and the Louisville Courier
Journal" says that he is the greatest po-
iitical boss that has appeared in the South
since the days of Andy johnson and VIM.

in Tennessee, and was virtually the man.

Republican vote was larger than had ever

The NATIONAL TRIBUNE submitted
list Of questions to Commissioner Evans
as to his practice under the amended
laws. He wrote his answer to each, and
we give them herewith:
1. IL soldier or sailor of the war Of
the rebellion served 80 days and has been
honorably discharged, and had pending on
May 9, 1000, an application for pension
under the act of June u, 1890. will he be
required to file a formal application I'M
der the act of May 8, 1900, in order to
secure the benefits Of the liberal rating
allowed under the act of May 9, 1900?
Answer. Law says he shall-not ne
ceSSary.
2. If such a soldier or sailor has here
tofore applied for pension under the act
OF June y, 1900. and his claim has been
rejected, either before May 9, 1900 or
since that date. on the ground that he
Is not disabled in ratable degree, will
he be required to file a formal application
under the act of May 9, 1900, in order to
secure the reconsideration of his case un-
der the liberal ratings allowed under the
act of May 8, 1900?
Answer. Yes.
3. If a soldier or sailor is pensioned un-
der the act of June q, 1890, and had
pending on May 9, 1900. an application
for an increase of his pension, in which
case he had been examined prior to May
9, 1900, will he be required to file for
NAL application under the act of May 9,
1900, in order to get the benefits Of said
act?
Answer. No.
4. If soldier or sailor is pensioned un-
der the act of June 81, 1890, and had
pending on May 8, 1900, an application
for an increase of pension, although he
had not been examined by Board of Sur
seOns until after May Q, 1900, will he be
required to file formal application un-
der the act of May o, 1900, in order to
get the benefits of said act?
Answer. No.
act of May 9. 1900. for lesser degree
of disability than under the practice that
obtained prior TO that date in the consid-
Grafton of invalid claims for pension filed
under the act of June ~, 1890?
Answer. Same practice prevails.
There is far more hope in this than in
anything that has emanated from the
Pension Bureau for long time. In the
first place. a man having an application
now pending before the Bureau will not be
required to file anew, but can continue to
prosecute his claim, and save his arrears.
But if his claim has been rejected he
must file a new claim. Since the Secre-
tary has decided that the Act of May
is not new legislation. superseding the old,
we will still have the benefit of the Act
of March 6, 1896, giving him arrears from
the date of the original filing of his
claim.
Now the main thing is the actual work
ing of the Bureau under these new rules.
That is, in fact, everything. We have
had rules and orders before. We shall
have to wait and see the way they are
carried out

This is more technical than important.
Its only practical value is to direct the
Surgeons to combine the effect of the dis
abilities and pronounce upon the result
upon the claimants ability to earn suo-
port by manual labor. Practically the
Examining Surgeons have always been do.
ing this in their statements of the acgre-
gate disabilities they found upon exami
nation. The main complaint has not been
upon the Examining Surgeons ratings bur
the way their reports have been treated
in the Pension Bureau. The Bureau has
cut down or absolutely rejected the Ex
amining Surgeons estimates as to what
the claimant was entitled to- This has
been bitter grievance in the minds of
the veterans. The real remedy must come
from reform in the practices of the Bu-
reau. There is no hint that this will be
done.

Dickinson Public Schools, First MONTH
Report.

The Dickinson schools opened with an
attendance far above that of any previous
year. The report for the first month is
as follows:
Enrolment: male, 100; female, 2o4;
fatal, 3o5. Average number present each
day, 315. Average number of days at
tended by each, I75.
The enrolment for the first month last
year was 800, with an attendance of ~.
The enrolment was thus 65 more than
last year, while the average attendance
shows an increase of u.
The new room added or the south side,
instead of providing for future growth,
does not ever meet the growth Of the
present year. II the increase Of attend
nee toward the middle of the year is as
great as it was last year some provision
will have to be made for the accommo-
dation Of the extra number. Five rooms
now have an enrolment of more than 50
each.
l have not yet seer any reports from
the other schools OF the state for this
year. Taking the report of the other
schools of the state for the first month
last year and comparing them with the
Dickinson report for this year we find
only six schools with larger enrolment
than our own. They are as follows:
Fargo, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Grafton,
Valley City and Mandan. Mandan had
an enrolment OF 4o2, which is but seven
more than we have. Some of the other
towns of the state stood as follows: Bis
marck 3o2, Devils Lake 358, Casselton
800. These towns have probably grown
since last year, in which case the com.
parison would not be so favorable to
Dickinson. Respectfully,

One Of Moody's Jokes

D. l.. Moody was always full Of fun.
He saw the comic side Of things. and
as a boy enjoyed putting practical
Jokes upon any n whom he we'll
knew. In the rear of his Uncle Sam
uels retail shoe store in Boston was
O cobbler's repair kit-seat, tools, avis,
ETC., and the seat was, us usual, a piece
Of leather concavely shaped downward
at it's center.
shaped seat felt it becoming uncom-
fortably damp, then really moist. He
rose and saw a damp spot on the seat.
Surprising that a few drops Of water
had been accidentally dropped upon the
seat before he sat down to his work,
he folded an old newspaper and placed
1t and sat comfortably down to resume
his work. But the moisture seemed
strangely persistent. Rising again, he
found the paper becoming soaked with
water, and he stood perplexed, his
hammer in one hand and the soft, wet
paper in the other.
Looking this way and that in his
perplexity, he soon heard a half chuc;
kle, half smoker, which could no longer
be repressed, and there behind the
door was the country boy, learning
how to be useful in IL city shoe store,
as he really and rapidly did, but TAX
ing his fun rs he went along. He had
placed q shallow dish Of water close
up to the underside of the center of
the leather seat, which only touched
the water when the weight of the &C.
cupant was upon it, so three or four
small awl holes served his purpose for
that neutrality-suspicious..
