just Like weyler.

United States government in Cuba
seems so natural and home-like that
the Cubans only realize that Weyler
is not there by the reason of the public
plunder being carried on more swiftly
and thoroughly. The Spaniards stole
everything not nailed down, but the
Republican officials have not only
equaled the Spaniard. but have done
even better by pulling the nails There
have been some suspensions, but there
will be no serious criminal prosecu-
tions because the boss thief is per-
sonal lieutenant of Senator Hanna and
a man who risked going to the peni-
tentiary for bribing at the time the
great Republican dictator was buying

ADMIRAL DEWEY
VIII Not Accept the Second Place on the
National Ticket.

Will Not Accept the Second Place on the
National Ticket.
Washington, D. C.-Admiral Dewey,
who returned from his Western trip on
Wednesday, will remain quietly at his
country home, Beauvoir, just outside
of Washington, until the latter part of
this month, when he will go to New
port to attend the session of the gen.
eral board of the navy, of which he is
president. The Admiral was seen Sat-
urdsy by an Associated Press reporter
and asked whether or not he would
define his position relative to the
vice presidential nomination. He re-
piled that inasmuch as he had not
been offered the nomination, it would
perhaps be presumptuous IN hIm to
say that he would or would not accept
it.
"But," it was suggested, MANY
democrats throughout the country are
discussing the deslrability of placing
you on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan"
81 have never contemplated being q
candidate for vice president, replied
the admiral with his usual frankness.
~ am not a candidate for nomination
for that office and would not accept the
nomination if offered. My position Is
unchanged. 1 stand now where have
stood for the past three months.
1t will be thus seen that the ad-
mira had no second string to his
bow when he made the announce
ment that he would be candidate
for the presidency if the people of
the county wished him to be. The
above statement was submitted to and
approved by Admiral Dewey.

CAUSE OF THE BOERS
fROWNED UPON BY THE RE-
PUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.
mckinley and His Pro- British Cabinet
Flies In the Face of Sacred American
Sentiment = Helping to Destroy Two
Sister Republics.

The Boer problem is one which ia
causing the administration much en-
Darrassment. The arrival of the en-
voys OF the South African republics
mas brought President Mckinley face
to face with the situation, and while
he has given the ENJOYS their answer,
yet 1t is evident that the matter is by
no means settled.
Our established policy In a general
way forbids our interference in for
eign affairs, and the wisdom of this
policy cannot as a rule be disputed, but
the Boer case seems SO different from
any other that hasty decision on the
lines heretofore marked out would not
be wise nor in accord with the wishes
OF the American people.
The Monroe doctrine, which has
been accepted by all political parties
In the United States as a part of our
national creed, forbids the extension
of the jurisdiction of any monarchial
power on the American continent, and
1t is accepted as just by our people,
for the reason that such extension
would prove constant menace to our
Tree institutions. The Monroe doc
trine is founded on the principle which
Americans must maintain, and SO far
as the effect is concerned, 1t may prove
as necessary to maintain It when ap-
piled to Africa as to America. This
policy has been heretofore applied only
to our own continent, but now the
question arises, can the United States
afford to see grasping monarchial
power like Great Britain deliberately
conquer and take possession of two
weak republics, even though they be
situated on another continent than our
own. The destruction of any republic
by monarchial power, no matter
where located, is dangerous to the fu-
lure of any republic on earth, for the
hnder a monarchial form will be ar
fayed in a body against those under
the republican form. II the repub-
lies of the world do not stand by each
other they will be destroyed piece
meal, and the time will come when the
United States may be called upon to
face the combined powers of Europe
In an attempt to maintain her free in
stitutions without single republican
ally to aid her. II we stand by and
allow Great Britain to add republic
after republic to her string of colonies,
she may grow too strong for our pro-
tests to be available, and the question
now to be met by the American people
Is: Shall we allow this monster to
grow, or shall we trim it's claws while
conditions enable us to do SO?
1t will require no soldiers and no
battleships. A few words from our ex-
ecutive, expressed firmly and earnestly
will be sufficient. We still remember
the Venezuelan affair, and the attitude
assumed by the administration. No
threats were necessary, no prepara-
tions for war. nothing but that mes
sage of Secretary of State Olney which
brought about result satisfactory to
the people Of the United States.

London. What with the reports
coming through Tien-Tsin the Boxers
have maasscred number of native
converts and servants of the foreigners
east of the city of PeKin. besides burn
ing the Catholic cathedral at Pekin,
the situation in the far east appears
preceptibly graver. To add to the diff
culties comes the news that telegraphic
communication between Shanghai and
Tien Tsin is totally interrupted. Con-
sequently the prevailing uncertainty
as to the facts and possibilities of ths
position will be accentuated
1t is generally recognized now that
the position of the foreigners at Pc
kin is perllous, as there Is but a
short step from the massacre of the
servants Of foreigners to the killing
OF the foreigners themselves.
"If massacre is averted," says the
Spectator, 'and the palace reduced to
seeming obedience, the grand difficult
ty will be to decide on the next step.
The powers can neither encamp per-
manently In Pekin nor leave until il
is established that the government is
prepared to respect international OBJ
legations and able to hold China to-
gether. If anarchy breaks out in China
the object. of the powers is defeated
The failure or success of the present
effort may involve series of outbreaks
or of wars, Of which no man can see
the end
There is no confirmation of the re-
ported destruction of the legations in
Pekin and the killing of the German
minister, Baron Won Kstteler, nor the
later report of the fighting between the
British and the Chinese. Dispatches
from Shanghai state that Admiral
Seymour's force is In a tight place
between Lang Fang and Yung Sung
with enormous masses of soldiers in
front, while the Boxers with more sol.
diers are cutting the railroad in the
rear. The column is reported short OF
provisions and water. The Kiang Nan
arsenal outside of Shanghai, is sendinq
vast quantities Of munitions north
All is quiet at Shanghai, but trade
has been disrupted. 1t is stated tina
1000 Americans are coming from Ma
nila and that large forces of japanese
are also en- route. The wires south OF
Tien Tsin have been cut, and the city
is Geographically isolated.
According to a special from Vienna,
it is stated in diplomatic circles there
that the question of Intervention is un
der discussion by the powers. 1t Is
proposed that Japan shall act as man
datory of the powers and re-establish
order in Pekin and elsewhere. This,
1t Is said, emanates from England and
is supported by Germany and Austria
Tia, but 1t is doubtful il Russia and
France will agree to the proposition

cation between Ksl Gan and Pekin ha,

Apprehension Ior tue r.ariners.

Washington. - Great apprehension
exists at the navy department as to the
fate of the United States marines of
tifty-six men, which was landed at
,Tien Tsin, and dispatched by rail to
Pekin before the railroad was inter
ruptsd. They went forward To PeKin
under au authorization granted by the
Chinese government to the United
States minister at Pekin. in common
with other ministers to employ naval
guard at the legation. Just before the
wires we're cut word came that Minis
ter Conger had detached twenty OF
these marines from his legation and
placed them as a guard at the Metho-
dist compound. This is an enclosure
of some ten acres situated nearly Q
mile distant from the legation where
many missionaries and their families,
as we'll IS large number of native
christians, are believed to have taken
refuge.
The instructions sent to Admiral
Kempff relative to his participation
In the seizure of the Taku forts were
broad, consisting OF direction, to
protect all American interests and act
concurrently with representatives Of
the other powers. This order conferred
on the admiral ample power to seize
ports, to fight or do anything in fact
on the sole condition that in his judg-
ment his acts should tend to the pro-
lection of American interests.

POWERS ELUDED THE POSSE.

UnsuccessfuI Attempt to Arrest Alleged
Accessory to Goebel Assassination.
Louisville, Ky.-A special to the
Courier Journal from Barboursville,
KY, SAYS:
An unsuccessful attempt was made
Thursday night to arrest John L. Pow
ers, under indictment as an accessory
to the murder of Goebel. A posse
quietly formed and left town for the
home of Powers brother in law, on
Poplar creek, but runner had been
sent out ahead and Powers had left the
house when the posse arrived.
Despite Powers action, his attor
ney, F. d. Sampson, said Friday that
Powers is not evading arrest, but is
willing to intrust his case to fair
and impartial jury at any time. Mr.,
Sampson declares that no one has any
authority to arrest Powers, who has
been pardoned by Taylor. Mr.. Samp-
son says those engaged in ssThurday
nights raid will be prosecuted.

GOLD STANDARD FAMINE.

Lord George Hamilton, secretary of
state for India, presided at a meeting
In London recently, at which means
for the relief of the Indian famine
were considered. Lord Hamilton, in
referring to the devastating effects of
the famine, said that ut must not be
forgotten that 1t is wage famine as
well as food famine"
In other words, India is suffering
more from a panic" than from a
shortage of crops. The closing of the
Indian mints to the coinage of silver is
having the effect that was freely pre-
dicted when the move was being con-
sidered. The boarded silver bullion,
which In times of financial stringency,
we're the mints open, could be coined
into money and turned into the chan
nels of trade and commerce. Is abso-
lutely useless as a medium Of ex-
change.
The American people are not upac-
quainted with these conditions. While
starvation of thousands is unknown
here, in times of monetary stringency,
following contraction of the circulat-
ing medium, thousands have suffered
for the necessities of life, with plenty
on every hand.
In fact, there would be no such
thing as famine were the products of
labor equitably distributed, and were
every man given opportunity to labor,
by free access to the soil.
Undoubtedly there would be some
famine in India were the Indian
mints open to the coinage of silver,
as the conditions existing there are
also due to landlordism and other evils
of worldwide industrial system, but
that the contraction of the circulating
medium by the closing of the mints
to the coinage of silver has greatly
aggravated the situation is shown by
Lord Hamilton's confession that it is a
wage famine as well as a food fam
inc" that is responsible for the appall-
ing conditions existing in famine
stricken India. Give India 16 to 1
again and there will be no more wage
famines over there.
