Chinese Offer Strong Resistance

1t is evident that it is not going
to be an easy task for the allies to
reach Pekin. says the Savannah
News. 1t is question whether
they can reach it at all without
large reinfOrcements. The mearge
accounts of the battle that has been
fought ON the road To Pekin show
that the Chinese are prepared to
make very strong resistance. If il
be true that the killed and wound
ed of the allies numbered 1900, il
would not require many more such
battles to make them halt and wait
for assistance
No doubt the loss of the Chinese
was far greater than that of the
allies. Suppose it was five times
or even ten times as great. They
could stand many such losses.
They could lose an army of 100000
and scarcely miss it. But every
man of the allies is needed. The
allied army is Il small one. and it
has a dangerous road of seventy
two miles To travel in order To
reach its destination. And when it
reaches Pekin it may encounter a
great army-an army of perhaps
100000 men.
1t is fair to assume that the
Chinese have not been idle since it
became known it was the purpose
of the powers to send an army to
rescue the ministers. No doubt
they have been collecting their sol
diers from all parts of the empire
with the view of infiicting a great
defeat on the allies. Ifthe invaders
should be driven back, and put in
peril at Tien Tsin, there would be
an uprising of the whole Chinese
people. They hate foreigners, and

The Executive Committee.

Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen:
The meeting of the Democratic state
committee, held in Jacksonville, was, in
some respects, a disappointment to those
who had anticipated that the campaign
machinery would be put in motion. AS
a result of two long sessions, a committee
of nine was appointed TO arrange the
itinerary of campaign meetings through
the state; a finance committee OF five
was named to have charge of ways and
means for raising campaign funds, as
well as 10 disburse such funds, and the
meeting then adjourned, directing the
chairman to call the committee together
again on August 9th, when other busi-
ness, which was left unrompleted, will be
taken up. The primary rules will go
over to the next meeting.
The Florida star., 1900-08-10

they would assume that they could
drive them out Of China and keep
them out if they should force the
allied army to retreat to Tien Tsin.
If those in authority at Pekin
really wanted peace they would
have given up the ministers when
the demand for them was first
made. If the ministers did not
desire to risk themselves and fam
lilies with a Chinese escort, the
Chinese would have permitted a
small force of the allies to come to
Pekin and take them to Tien Tsin.
1t is clear that there has been no
intention to give up the ministers
except on terms made by the
Chinese authorities. 1t would not
be surprising if among the terms
would be one that all foreigners, in
cluding missionaries, should get
out of China and stay out, and that
all territory ceded by the empire in
recent years under compulsion to
European powers should be re-
stored.
The statement made by Ii Hung
Chang that the ministers were sent
to Tien Tsin several days ago is not
credited, even in China. 1t is doubt
ful if the Chinese government will
give up the ministers until it is
compelled to do so.

THE Baltimore Sun says that the
elimination of the illiterate negro
vote in North Carolina will prove
IA blessing to both races. 1t will
insure honest and efficient govern
ment by those best fitted to control
the affairs of the state. 1t will
prevent friction between the races
and will lead in the end to i'm
proved relations between whites
and blacks. There is no dispOsi-
ton in North Carolina to treat the
negro unkindly. His best friends
in that state are among the most
ardent advocates of the amendment
adopted recently. He will be edu-
Gated and cared for in the future,
as in the past, by those who voted
to disfranchise the illiterate mem
bers of his race. The adoption of
the amendment will prove bene-
fetal to North Carolina in more
than "A political way. With the
friction between the races reduced
to Il minimum and white suprem-
acy assured, the material develop
ment of the state will be greatly
promoted.

The Arbuckles the other day an
nounced an additional discount on
sugars. This, it is believed in some
quarters, means that the sugar war
between the Arbuckles and the
sugar trust may break out again.
The trust has not yet met the dis
count, but it has reduced the wages
of its employees, which may be
preliminary to joining issues with
the Arbuckles once more. Trusts
never hesitate to make their work
ing people pay the costs of their
wars if they can do so.

DURING the past week or two a
number of Republican newspapers
in the north have shown symptoms
of the deepest anguish, and almost
dispair for our civilization, because
of the plainly proclaimed purpose
of the white people of North Caro-
lima to take from the blacks the
privilege of voting and thus exercis-
ing the balance of political power.
But not one of those papers, so far
as we have observed, has had a
word to say in protest against the
taking away, at Niagara Falls, in
New York state, of the privilege of
the negroes to earn a living by
driving hacks and carriages.
Whether the black man shall be
permitted to earn a living by honest
work is a matter of much more in
terest to him than whether he shall
be permitted to cast ballot. In
North Carolina the negro has been
put on notice that he cannot vote
except under certain conditions.
At Niagara Falls, in New York, he
has been informed that he cannot
work if he comes into competition
with white men.
