TUAN THE USURPER,

1t becomes daily more certain that the
Allied Powers must recognize in Prince
Tuan the accepted Dictator Of China.
chosen TO lead a war of DETERMINATION,
against foreigners, and must move
against the Tuan Government exactly as
would be necessary had the legitimate
Empire declared war on the Powers in
question.
This is necessary because there is
little doubt that all China is aflame with
hatred of the. foreigners and that the
response to Prince Tuan's call on the
Niceroys of Provinces for troops will re-
suit In the massinS of a tremendous
force under Tuan's command. Early
news from Pekin is likely TO reveal to
the fullest this anti-foreign bitterness
of the Chinese-giving details, in all
probability. of the massacre OF the en-
tire foreign element and of possibly
naneless crimes of savagery accompany
ing the work of determination.
: Under such conditions there can be no
temporfZing with the situation. This
fact will he made plain when the truth
is heard from Pekin. The crime of the
century will be told of in that truthful
story. Civilization will demand a swift
retribution. Ii is idle now to speculate
as TO the prospect of war with China.
China is in the hands of q usurper and
the war is on.

BRYAN AND STEVENSON


Following the adoption of a national
platform upon which all Democrats and
other Americans who oppose and con
denim the unamercln policies of the Re-
publican party may unite for victory.
the Kansas City convention has named
in Bryan aud Stevenson Il presidential
ticket finely in keeping with its winning
platform.
Mr. Bryan has now been before the
country in the capacity of acknowledged
leader of the Democratic party for the
past four years. In that time he has
grown greatly il the estimation Of the
American public. He has never failed

Amcricanism leading him 10 take the
proper American attitude on the great
questions that have arisen within that
period. He has gained the confidence
of the people hy his faiIhfUlness 10 their
interests in peace, and their admiration
hy his devotion to his flag and country
in time of war. His strength with the
people was Significantly indicated 10y the
potency Of his influence over the dele
gales Ia the National Convention of the
Democratic party.
Mr. Stevenson is an older man than
Mr.. Bryan, and has been longer in
Democratic harness. His devotion 10
the principles Of Democracy is of the
same fine quality AS that of Mr.. Bryan.
He is a Democrat born He is strong
before the people. so strong that in lS.j..
as the vice presidential candidate on the
ticket with Mr.. Cleveland. he carried
Illinois, his home State. by 10000 ma
jurity. Existing conditions in Illinois
justify the hope that the nomination of
Stevenson will bring an even bigger ma
jOi'ity this year.
Bryan and Stevenson together make
an irresistible appeal To Democrats and
10 all opponents of !rustisn. Imperialism
and militariSm. The campaign now
opening will be an American campaign,
its paramount issue being the preSerya
ton and dominance In this Government

A WORD OLE WARNING

The pending ordinance for system Of
street railway tracks along the streets
east of Fourth and of Broadway will
give the old guard of the Municipal As
sembly, who voted 10 repeal the Transit
Company's franchises, a chance to evil
dence their devotion to the public in
terest. Nobody will tell who is back of
this ordinance. but that should not af-
feet the vote of the conscientious legis-
iator who will do right no matter who
is hurt.
This is n good time 10 change the
practice that has always prevailed in
the Municipal Assembly of ST. Louis
when public franchises have been the
subject of legislation. The true servant
of the people will dismiss the idea tia,
the individuals who draw up an ordi-
nance acquire property rights in the
public privileges they seek by the mere
fact of being the first TO ask for them:
he will remember that the welfare of
the community and not the personal ill.,
terests of an energetic and possibly I'M
scrupulous promoter should control and
shape legislation.
2 Approaching this new street railway
ordinance in this spirit the members of
the Council and of the House will find
much that demands attentive considpra-
lion. They will quickly realize that
their first duty is to determine whether
or not there is a public need for tin,
whole or any part of the projected new
system. That question answered favor
ably, there is much in the measure as il
stands that will require change. A very
superficial study of its provisions will
disclose that the city gets 10 proner
compensation for the valuable privileges
it would give. 1t will be discovered that
the city is called on TO give everything
and receive nothing.
The right thing 10 do would he TO re
Ter the ordinance to the Board of Pub
lie improvements with instructions TO
report it back in a form that will ade-
quately protect all public interests. This
would bring radical changes. including
requirements that the electric conGuc-
tors shall be carried in underground
conduits and that the city shall receive
q fair percentage of the operating COM
panys gross receipts rs compensation
for the valuable property rights it would
acquire. So, too. there would be ade-
quate provision to preserve the city's
right TO regulate the operation of the
system, instead of unrestricted freedom
