to interest the company in the mys'

CHINESE FOND OF SAUERKRAMT.

With the advent Of so many Chinese
restaurants in different parts Of the

"chop suey" and other well known Chi

Americans than by Cinnamon. A Har-

revealed that this Chinaman, like many
Of his fellow countrymen in New York,
who had. like himself, been here IA
years o. so, hardly tasted traditional
Chinese dishes. One Of the first direc-
tions in which a Chinaman becomes
Americanized Is in his liking for Amer

ALL ARE POLITICIANS IN INDIANA.
It was during the silver and gold cam
paign of 1896 that an Indiana congress
man came home from tour of speech
making for Mr.. Mckinley. He was
glad to get home to his vine-clad cot
tage; glad to get away from the never
ending discussion of the coinage OF
silver at the ratio of 16 to l. He
wanted to be free from the hated
question, for week at least.
His fve-year. girl, a winsome
and intelligent miss, ran to meet him,
leaving her playmate at the gate. This
playmate was the four-year.old daugh.

politician named Schultz.

nation, of furtherance of lawful COM
merce and of protection of lives and
property of our citizens by all means
guaranteed under extra territorial
rights and by the laws of the nations.
If wrong be done to our citizens we
propose to hold the responsible author
to the uttermost accountability. We
regard the condition at Pekin as one of
virtual anarchy, whereby power and
responsibility is practically devolved
upon the local provincial authorities.
So long as they are not in overt collusion
and rebellion, and use their power to
protect foreign rights and property, we
regard them as representing the Chi
nese people with whom we seek to re-
main in peace and friendship. The
purpose of the president is, as it has
been heretofore, to act concurrently
with the others powers, first, in open
ing up communication with Pekin, and
rescuing the American officials, mis-
sionaries and other Americans who are
in danger; secondly, in affording all
possible protection everywhere in Chi
ma to American life and property ;
thirdly, in guarding and protecting all
legitimate American interests and
fourthly, in aiding to prevent spread
of the disorders to the other provinces
of the empire and a recurrence of such
disasters. 1t is, of course, too early to
forecast the means of attaining this
last result but the policy of the gov
ernment of the United States is to seek
a solution which may bring about per.
manent safety and peace to China, pre-
serve Chinese territorial and admins
trative entity, protect all rights guar
anteed to friendly powers by treaty
and international law, and safeguard
for the world the principle of equal
and impartial trade with all parts of
the Chinese empire.

The state department has made

Gently delivered to the powers as de-
fning the position of the United States
respecting the Chinese troubles.
This circular instruction was drawn
up on the 3Oth of June and transmitted
to Canton, Ohio, for the approval of the
president, and communicated to the
powers concerned on the 3rd of July.
1t embodies the views to which this
government has strictly adhered from
the very beginning of the present
trouble, and which the different pow
ers have one by one taken into favor
able consideration. The view an
nounced at the start by the president
that we did not consider ourselves at

all our efforts should be directed to

ince of Chi Ii, and keeping them from
spreading throughout the empire, by
enlisting on the side of peace the pow.
erful viceroys of southern and central
China, has now apparently been adopt
ed by all the other powers. 1t is too
soon to prophesy the ultimate results
of the policy but thus far the indica-
tions are all favorable. 1t will be seen
that no answer from the different pow
ers was required or expected to the
circular of July 8; but it is understood
that it has been very favorably receiv-
ed, and that no objections have been
made to it in any quarter. 1t is not
true that there has been any forma-
ton of groups or combination of pow
ers of any sort whatever. 1t may be
positively asserted, for instance, that
the cooperation of France and the
United States has been most constant
and cordial.
The circular is as follows:

THE FRENCH WORKMAN.

The French workman Is the creature
Of the street for the sense Of the JOY
Of life and the creature Of the home
and the workshop for the sense Of the
hardship and sometimes Of the sorrow.
Fashioned as he Is in this way, two
outside forces contend for the posses
sion Of him. The question Of ques-
tions is, "Will he take his guidance
from the recognized agencies within
the law or from the agencies Of re-
volt?" The state and also, as we have
seen, the church offer him all sorts Of
bribes and bonuses to consent to work
IL their way. They recognize his trade
and self help societies. They try to
get him to the altar as a devotee and
to the urn as voter. But he has
heard of Utopias, and he longs to have
one more struggle for absolute perfec-
ton at short notice, though he may
have to lay down his life in the at
tempt.
The key to modern French history Is
to be found here. Every political
movement has to be a compromise be-
tween the aspirations Of. the faubourg
and the world as 1t wags. The French
workman has been bred in the belief
In revolution as a recognized agency
Of progress and by instinct and habit
he loathes second best. The old order
offers him the churches, the thrift and
benefit societies, cooperation, insur-
ance against accidents, education, tech
nical and other-the old political econ
omy, in a word. and the paternal state.
