Daniel Webster, when he was secre-
tary OF state, wrote letter to the
Spanish minister on November ~,
1857, saying; "Private individuals,
subjects OF her Catholic majesty, COM
ing TO reside voluntarily In the United
States, have certainly no cause OF
complaint II they are protected by the
same law and the same administra-
tion of law as native born citizens Of
this country"
Secretary Blaine, in his letter TO the
Spanish minister. in reference to the
New Orleans riot of 1891, said: "The
United States did not by treaty with
italy,, become the insurer Of the lives
and property of Italian subjects resid-
ing within our territory. For.
eign residents are not n favored class"
That is the doctrine OF American
diplomacy, and IL reads well from our
standpoint. hut when we are burning
| with Indignation because Of the out
RACES inflicted upon our own people in
China IL does not sound so well. The
letter of Secretary Evarts TO the Chi
nese minister, in 1850, applies directly
TO the present situation, and clearly
demonstrates the difference between
the selfshncss OF diplomacy and the
| justice OF international procedure

Ter replied to Secretary Evarts, say
ing: "China must submit to your de-
cision ms Ia her citizens who have
been outraged by mob In Denver;
but | venture the expression of opin.
ion that IL the eases were reversed the
United States would be disposed To
brlligerently demand indemnity"
The reverse side OF the situation has
come; and there stands the precedent
established by this country. Citizens
Of China have suffered losses and have
been deprived of their hyes. and the
Chinese government can readily reply
10 any demand for indemnity or ret.
ribution: "Hour own government has
established the precedent that pre.
vents you from making any demand
upon China. We have the identical
letter of your Secretary Evarts on this
question, ana you are estopped from
requiring of China what you declined
10 admit when our citizens were out
ragged and killed In your country"
That will undoubtedly be the unan-
swerable position to be taken.

her outraged citizens, nobody could
foresce the massacre Of missionaries,
their wives, children and the native
converts. Nevertheless, the sense of
Justice and spuii, which Is born In all
