missionary zeal:
"They say the Mormon Church Is
growing like the traditional weed that
ii has more than two thousand mission
aries working for 1t In all parts Of the
world. There are two or three hundred
In Canada, many more In the East and
the South, many more In Europe. and
they are great missionaries, too. They
work hard and draw very little pay.
They seem, too, 60 believe IN Mormon
ism. and In most places where they go
they are abundantly stimulated by per-
secutlon. II the stories about them are
true, they are making excellent prog
ress In disseminating the doctrines Of
their Church and making converts The
enthusiastic modern MormOns are quot
ed as saying that polygamy has really
gone out Of their religion, and that
when the plural wives now living have
died, there won't be any more. Maybe
not. Poygamy can hardly stand
against the rise OF American clyillza-
ton, but the Mormon Church In us 9TH
or particulars may last and flourish. 1t
seems a curious heresy but on It's prac-
teal side, at least, Ii Is strong, and It
seems 10 excite just as much zeal as
any other religion. 1t Is worth know
Ing more about than most Of US know.
Polygamy aside, very few Of VI know
how far and In what particulars "

OUR oHNEsE COMMANDER,

General Chaffee, who has been de-
tailed to command the American force
In China, Is regarded as an excellent
choice for that delicate position He Is
an Ohio man, who commenced his MILL
tary career IN the ranks, and who has
passed every grade from private to
major general. For thirty years he
has seen service in the West In the
numerous Indian campaigns. In 1898
Chaffee was stationed at Chickamauga
during the temporary stop there Of the
troops destined for service In Cuba. He
was one Of the central figures IN the
glorious attack on Santiago. and he Is
one Of the many prominent American
soldiers who have learnt the art OF war
In the school OF practical experience.
The selection OF General Chaffee FOR
duty in China indicates that the sItua-
tion Is such that the very best counsel
and most mature experience are con-
sldered necessary The position OF this
country Is a most delicate one, the poll
icy being TO cooperate with other pow
ers for the preservation OF the lives OF
the foreigners, and yet to maintain an
independent attitude. so as not to en-
ter into any "entangling alliances" To
solve this problem satisfactorily will be
no easy task, but those who are ac-
qualnted with General Chaffee express
the opinion that he Is the man to do
this.
Il is not forgotten that much eulogy
was bestowed upon General Otis, when
he first went to the Philippines After
wards. however, as It was found that
the task before him was much greater
than he, himself or the American peo-
pie, had anticipated, Impotence sug-

send effective expeditions in various di-
rectlons II so, he should be freely
given the aid needed. He should be
placed IN a position 20 carry out his
mission, without being hampered by
lack Of men and provisions, or by UNI
friendly and unjust criticism. What a
man in his position much needs Is the
confidence and respect Of officers OF the
other countries This should not be
broken down, by the critics that love
to attack prominent men at long range.

GERMAN MINISTER SLAIN.

The news from China is Of a most SER
ious nature. The early rumors that the
German minister had been assassinated
by a mob have been officially confirmed
and fears are now entertained for the
other foreigners IN the capital Of the

The presumption IS that the attack on
the forts al Taku by the European al
lies prccIptated the riot Of which the
German minister became the victim
Then the other foreigners were told by
the Chinese government to leave the
capital perhaps because the officials
considered themselves powerless against
the rebels, But the foreign representa-
