ANTIANERICANS.

Anti-imperialism means nothing but denial of
sovereignty TO the American people. 1t comedies
that they are nation but would strip them Of
all power which a nation may exert in It's rela-
tons with others. The people of this country
are not greedy for territorial acquisition. 1t is
one of the most impressive facts of their his
tory that they have at no time shown any
strong desire to extend their sway over
greater part of the worlds surface But the
highest and fullest sovereignty that is possible
they are perfectly conscious of possessing, and
every theorist who sets out TO emasculate
American sovereignty by constitutional limita-
ton gets himself into trouble. This Nation can
conquer, like any other. 1t can capture occupy
and subject, and in any just controversy can
infict upon the vanquished any penalties which
any other nation could inflict. It can exercise
sovereign authority over territory not annexed to
the Union, like Cuba, as Judge Lacombe's deci-
sion in the Neely case yesterday proclaimed. It
can exercise the same authority territory an
neXed, like Porto Rico, but not Incorporated into
the Union, as the Court has previously declared.
The right to purchase territory If it is desired
the people know full we'll that they possess, and
the right TO build up their foreign trade by
every legitimate extension OF their influence in
foreign parts The anxiety of the anti-imperIal-
lists to leave the Nation without power to buy
10 annex, 10 conquer or 10 1gnt, Whatever the
cause or however good the reason, is the motive
behind all others which puts them al war with
the people of the United States.
The people value their sovereignty. IT is to
them a source Of intense and ever growing
pride that this great free Nation does now
exert n large influence in the affairs Of other
nations. not for injustice TO any, but for justice
TO all. AS the recent war was notable in his
tory because waged by nation not for it's own
gain, but for the freedom Of people over whom
IL claimed and wished no control, so the most
attractive thought 10 the American mind is
that the power of the great Republic may ever
be exercised for the cause Of justice and free
dom. and not for mere expansion of territorial
limits. Anti Imperialism seeks to rob the
American citizen of the one power in which he
has the greatest pride. IT seeks TO strip him os

of the rest of the world in military efficiency.
The arsenals of Europe have been busy supply
ing China with the best modern arms and am
muntion and some of the cleverest drillmasters
of Europe have been teaching the Chinese how
most effectively to use such things. And finally
the Powers irritate and goad China into the
furious use Of her new found strength, and then
cry out against the yellow peril!
Such policy has been fatuous. 1t has been an
attcmpt to educate the Chinese and to keep
them ignorant, to give them strength and to
keep them weak, to regard them a sovereign
nation and to hold them in vassalage all at
once It is high time a more rational plan was
tried If the Chinese are to be the slaves of the
Caucasian race, they should be kept in igno-
rance and deprived of military arms, as slaves
usually are If not, they must be treated as
men and permitted, as are other men, to work
out their destiny in their own way. 1t may
prove n the end to be the best plan for civ
iliZation to have the courage of its convic-
tions and TO believe that a civilized China would
be friendly to and not inimica to civilization In
general 1t does not appear that Japan is any
menace to the rest Of the world, or that she
cherishes any design of becoming one. The Chi
nese Empire is bound to awaken. The question
is whether it is to do it as an independent SOW
ereignty or under the domination of Russia or
Japan There is no apparent reason why the
former could not be the case with the sympathy
and cooperation OF the Powers, just as it was
with Japan Then awakened China would be
no more a peril than is awakened japan. But
If there is not to be it will puzzle the impartial
observer TO discover in what detail q Japanned
China-if we may use the phrase-would be
less of a menace than a Russianized China
New-York tribune., 1900-07-20
THE YELLOW PERIL,

Europe is beginning again 10 see yellow.
II sees in the awakening of Japan the poten-
tiality Of awful menace. At all odds. 1t thinks,
Japan must be confined within her present lin
its. To let her grow would be suicidal to the
world. To let her gain any measure of control
or Of influence in China would be to incur the
danger Of her leavening the Chinese Iump and
producing throughout all that vast Empire an
awakening similar to her own And that. it is
supposed would be 10 place the whole Euro
pean and American world in jeopardy At all
odds the four hundred millions of Chinese must
be kept in ignorance and semisavagery. Hence
the combination Of Russia, France and Ger
many TO rob Japan Of the legitimate fruits of
her war with China. And hence the unwilling
ness Of Russia that Japan should send in an
army TO the rescue Of the foreigners in Peking.
and, consequently, hence the abandonment of
those foreigners to their fate and the tragedy
which the world deplores.
But let Us note the ACCOMPLISHED facts of the
case. Japan has already awakened She can
not again be put to sleep. Her military, indus
trial and commercial progress will inevitably
be maintained and continued. 1t is simply in
conceivable that the Powers can ever wage war
against Japan for the purpose of forcing her
back into the condition OF fifty years ago Well,
China, too, is awakening We told the other
day Of the rapidly growing demand there for
the educational literature Of Europe and Amer
ica. Indeed this very Boxer outbreak was pro-
vo1ed by the rising tide of civilization, and was
and is intended TO drive back that tide All con-
tact with outside Powers will promote the
awakening Of China. It is inevitable There is
no use in saying il must not be. The part of
wisdom is to determine what is to be done about
II when II does come to pass.
The fact is that if there be n yellow peril
the Powers have played the part of Franken-
stein in creating il. Had they left China and
Japan alone those countries might and prob
ably would have remained in seclusion for ages
10 come They might have run their course as
secluded and unenlightened peoples, and finally
have fallen into decay such. But the Powers
the United States among them-would not
leave them alone. They insisted upon intruding
themselves uncalled into the Orient. They com
PEELED the Mongolian peoples at the cannon S

OF CHINESE NAMES.

Not the least of the vexations which the aver.
age reader, as we'll as the editor and printer
will suffer in case Of a prolonged conflict in
China will arise from the outlandish names of
the places and persons concerned and the
diverse ways of spelling and writing them
Such veXation has indeed for some time ex-
listed in the ordinary literature of the day
There some of us who can remember when
there was in common only one style of
writing printing each well known Chinese
name In recent years however a fad has
arisen for changing them into strange and often
scarcely recognizable forms. Thus our old
friend Kow-Loon has by some been metamor-
phosed into Kaulun. Such fantastic freakish-
ness was bad enough when only dozen or so
names were involved, and they were used in
such a connection that could look them I'D
in a variorum gazetteer and make sure of their
identity. But with scores of new and almost
unheard Of places daily cropping up, each in
multiform guise, and all to be dealt with hot
from the wires, the traditional Chinese puzzle"
is more than realized
Apart from the different spellings of the same
name such as KOw-Loon and Kaulun Moukden
and Mukden, HoO-Pe and Hupe. there are
other scarcely less perpexing variations in the
dividing and capitalization of names. Thus one

EVIL BiRDS THAT FOUL THEIR NESTS.


For a long time certain "anti-imperalsts"
have been charging that at the beginning of our
war with Spain the President pledged the Ma
ton not TO acquire any territory as a result of
the war. saying that 10 do so would be 'crimi-
nal aggression" Of course they know, and
have known all along, that the President never
did anything of the kind, and that their state
ment that he did is a violent distortion of
statement of utterly different meaning
Now comes James H. Lewis, formerly Rep
resentative in Congress from Washington and
candidate for the Vice-Presidential nomination
at the recent Democratic National Convention,
and declares that the President is responsible
for the attacks upon Americans in China, be-
cause of the announcement made by this Gov
'ernment, through its different spokesmen, that
the United States intended to enter into the
division of China, participating in its dstri-
button" OF course Mr. Lewis knows per-
fectly well that the exact contrary is the truth
and that all the announcements made by this
Government on the subject have been to the
effect that it did not intend to join in the par
titiOn of China nor to participate in its dstri-
button, but that, on the contrary it proposed to
stand as strongly as possible for the mainten-
ance of the integrity of the Chinese Empire.
Mr. White our Ambassador at Berlin speak
ing in the German capital on independence
Day, said that there were laid upon his table
every day piles Of cuttings from the European
Continental press which, taking up calumnies
manufactured for the home market dish them
'up for the market abroad" The evil of which
he complained is a monstrOus one, as the cases
have cited demonstrate In the present
critical state of affairs in China, while Ameri-
can soldiers are losing their lives TO save Amer
lean men, women and children from worse than
death, what will be the effect of publishing in
China. on the authority of great American
Mandarin, who has been Member of Congress
and a candidate for Vice President that the
American Government means 10 enter into the
partition and spoliation of China? The Chinese
pOpuace will not understand that it is merely
"calumny manufactured for our home markets"
They may believe it 10 be true just as the Fill
pinos believed 1t TO be true that as the ''anti-
imperialists' told them if they would hold out
until after election they would be allowed to
have their own way.
What a patriotic thing it is to embarrass and
cripple the hands of the Government abroad by
inventing and circulating such calumnies con-
cernnp it,
