AFFAIRS IN CHIN
An American Leader of the Reform
Movement Here.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-vi.l.am Ash
man, a Baptist missionary who has
spent half a century in China, has ar
rived in Chicago. He Is on his way to
his old home in New England afser an
absence of 81 years, yet despite his
age, he says he inosnds to return to
The celestial empire and continue his
mission work. Referring to the poIt-
ical situation in the east he said:
The presence Of the United States
in the Philippines has changed the
whole Asiatic question. The influelc-
of the u. S. Government IS now fe. ,
throughout the hemisphere. An Amer
lean is leader of the reform parry in
China today. He began the reform
movement shortly after the closing OF
the war with Japan. The Emperor,
aiding him, established a system
whereby books were purchased ana
Libraries formed. He aided in the
founding of newspapers. He Became so
enthusiastic that he promulgated an
order to do away with queues. This
resulted in the Empress d sp3sing him.
"It is not true that he Is dead, or
even a prisoner. He may be seen
daily taking exercise on the p.aform
along the palace walls. The re.o-m
movement is sleeping. but by NJ
means dead"

GERMAN SAMOA.
Natives May Have Some Measure OF

BERLIN, February 26.-A leading

"It Is impossible to give details as
yet regarding the form of government

discretionary powers and will give uha
natives as much selT-government as
his experience and observati.ns w.ll

istrative officials as possible. Every
thing will be kept simple. No difficulty
with the NATIVES is expected, as tney

ernoou Service. 1.-THE War once has
received the following dispatch frcsA
Lord Roberts:
"PAARDEBERG, Feb. %. IL o'clock
Tuesday morning.-From information
furnished daily to me by the intelli-
gence department it became apparent
that General Cronje's force was be-
coming more depressed and that the
discomfort of the troops and the dis
cord among the leaders were rapidly
increasing. This feeling was doubt
less accentuated by the disappoint-
ment caused when the Boer reinforce
ments which tried to relieve General
Cronje were defeated by our troops
on February %. l resolved, there
fore. to bring pressure to bear UPON
the enemy. Each night the trenches
were pushed forward toward the en-
emys lager so as to gradually con-
tract his position and at the same time
| bombarded it heavily with artillery,
which was yesterday materially aided
by the arrival of four 6-inch Howitz-
ers which / had ordered up from De
Aar. In carrying out these measures
a captive balloon gave great assistance
by keeping us informed of the dispo-
sitiOns and movements OF the enemy.
At 3 a. m. today a most dashing ad-
vance was made by the Canadian regi-
ment and some engineers, supported
by the Gordon Highlanders and Sec
ond Shropshires, resulting in our gain
ing a point some 500 yards nearer the
enemy and within about eighty yards
of his trenches, where our men en-
trenched themselves and maintained
their positions until morning, a GAL
liant deed worthy of our Colonial COM
rades, and which / am glad to say was
attended by comparatively slight loss.
This apparently clinched matters,
for at daylight today a letter signed
by CrOnje, in which he stated that he
surrendered uncOnditiOnally. was
brought to our outpos;s under nag
Of truce.
I'm my reply l told General CronJe
he must present himself at my camp
and that his forces must come out OF
their laager after laying down thelI
arms. BY a. m. l received Geheral

course Of conversation he asked TOT
kind treatment at our hands and also
that his wife. grandson, private secre-
tary, adjutant and servants might ae-
company him wherever he might De

It elevates the brigand above the toiler
and makes vice king over virtue.
The remedy is not to deny the right
Of ownership Of the man who raised the
potatoes, who plowed and narrowed and
hoed and dug, but to give such good
laws to the Industrious that they may
not be driven to stealing potatoes, or
anything else.
The boy, In this case, had been robbed
Of the fruits Of his own industry as
much as he had robbed the farmer of
his potatoes.
The thing to find out is what laws and

unfortunate one to become thief and
to punish the constable for his terrible
Indifference to the rights of the unfor-

WHARTON BAKERS VIEWS.

How the Populists Can Win In 1900.
Cincinnati convention that it will be shown
when that convention meets that the heart
OF the party Is there represented; that 1t
will there be demonstrated to old party man
ayers, to the Democrats barterins for Pop
rlist support, that Of the two millions Of
Populist voters the bulk are behind the Gin
cinnatf convention, resolved to support an
independent ticket, that but small minor
aty are behind the Sioux City convention,
prepared to follow Senators Butler and AL
len into fusion with the Democracy, and the
way will be opened for victory. BY so re-
4ponding Populfsts can beat Mr.. Bryan for
The nomination, cause his defeat in his own
convention. By SO doing they can cause the
democratic convention to throw of the
cloak Of deception, worn to deceive Popu-
lists and corral Populist votes. They can
90 this by so responding to the call for the
Cincinnati convention that 1t will be evil
dent when that convention meets that It
represents the bulk of Populsts and by there
showing through their representatives. that
they are not to be deceived by the cloak of
deception. And this shown the Democratic
managers Will turn from Bryan, for with 1t
demonstrated that the bulk Of the million
snd half Populists who supported him in
1895 Will not support him In 1900, but will
support an Independent ticket, they will be
forced to the~oonclusion that he would be
weak candidate, that his candidacy would
bring weakness to the Democracy, not
strength, and as politicians they will turn
from him. And turn where7 With the
knowledge that the million and half Pop
ulists who supported the Democracy In 1896
are lost to them, they will turn to a candi-
date with whom they could hope to win back
the million and half gold Democrats they
lost in 1896. In short, In such case they will
cast aside Mr.. Bryan as a hopeless leader
and turn to some gold Democrat probably
German. And then would the lines for q
contest between the people and plutocracy
be sharply drawn; the Peoples party offer
ang rallytng point for all those who be-
heve In popular government as opposed to
an oligarohy. believe In rule by the people
as opposed to rule of money, believe in
equality OF opportunity, in the upholdine of
the great truths proclaimed to the world in
the declaration Of independence and the
forces of plutocracy divided. And such are
The conditions that would make for the
success OF the Peoples party in 1900 as they

PRIVATE OWNERSHIP.
Coming Nation.)

(COmlng NatiOn.)
A member of Ruskin now tempora rilv IN

lars OF an incident which occurred in Penn
sylvania last summer. boy Of Is years
walked from Pittsburg to Mahoninr town
looking for job. Reaching the latter place
hunger drove him to seek food. and while IN
private garden he saw Constable Baird
coming. The poor boy started to run
stop" shouted the constable, and then
nred When the dead boy was picked mn
mis- mouth was found to be filled with raw
potato What do you think of a system
that upholds such an act OF inhumanity as
this! Private ownership Is the greatest
humbug In the world. A hundred wears
from now people will read OF such occur
rences as this with the same feeling we have
when looking upon the blood-stained instru
ments Of torture used on heretics in the
dark ages.
The fact set forth is a terrible one.
but are the conclusions drawn correct? !?
The constable was brute and a GRIM
tnal to kill the boy; but does that prove
that the man who raised the potatoes
had no right to them? And are we to
infer from that that labor has no claim
to Its own productions? II this is true
then the idle and the vicious have as
much claim to the good things OF this
life - the virtuous and industrious.

That sounds queer, when said DR..
Johnson says:
Citizens who wish to use their bal
lots to any advantage will have to work
together with one or the other of the
old parties
According to this, how long will it
be before the Populists get into power?
1t Is to be hoped that johnson will fly
his true colors in the future. He says;
I'm the ensuing campaign there can be
no doubt but that the mask must be
torn off, I agree with him there; l
can't imagine piece Of villainy so
worthy of Satan as for Republicans and
democrats to put on mask and pose
as Populists and do the loudest talking
at Populist conventions.
Dr. Johnson must imagine that he Ia
a despot, or else he Is a stranger in
Minnesota when he says:
1t seems to me a coarse and silly pre-
sumption for any intelligent and re-
spectacle man to masquerade as a Pop-
ulist in Minnesota nowadays, when
everybody knows, or ought to know.

ballots we MUST vote either for DEM
ocrat or Republican,, or else not vote

II Johnson was familiar with Mime
sofa politics he would know that this is
the first year that the, Populists will
nominate ticket OF their own, without
renegades running a masquerade ball
convention.
In reading Johnson's letter a whole
lot OF thoughts rush through my mind,
Here are some: Has Johnson been
Populist, or has he worn a masko Is
he Republican or a Democrat?
He seems to have crow to pick with
the Democrats. He seems ignorant of
the fact that the thoroughbred Populist
will never fuse or become Democrat or
Republican. He thinks that fusion de-
stroyed the Peoples party. Destroy

Why don't he read the list of names.
constituting the state central committee
of the Midroad Populist party? It is
larger state central committee than the
Populists ever had before.
Will go DR.. Johnson one better on his
views Of fusion. The mistake of the
humanitarian move inaugurated at
Omaha was not in the platform of prin-
ciples, but in the form of organization
made to pattern after the old political
parties, and the masks would have
stayed on until the Peoples party would
have come in power. Such a Peoples
party, permeated with Democratic and
Republican soreheads and gull-catchers
