VIII Thomas Il. Reed speak for his party
in this campaign? He has been invited
but some people are OF opinion that he
Will refuse. They predict that he will be
silent as Mr.. Conkling was in 1884.
In the case of Mr. Conkling there were
two reasons for silence. both of a personal
nature In the first place. he and Mr..
Blaine had not been on speaking terms for
thirty years bitter quarrel in debate
when both were young members OF the
House of Representatives had separated
them. and peace terms, though often pro-
posed by their friends. had always failed.
In the second place. Mr.. Conkling held Mr..
Blaine directly responsible for his retire.
ment from politics After resigning from
the Senate in a passion he had sought re-
election. and he always believed that he
would have succeeded but for the interfer-
ence of the national administration. with
Mr.. Blaine at the head of the cabinet Mr.
CI"Aiings protest. therefore. was against
his partys candidate. and not against any
feature OF its platform. 1t advocated no pol
icy in 1884 to which he did not subscribe
II MT Reed has any personal feeling

The Candidate is Found.

Attention. battalion, You, gentlemen,
who believe that the republic is in peril
but who reject the domestic policies of Mr.
Bryan, need no longer hesitate about your
duty. or about the leader under whom to
do your duty. The man is found He is
here He fills the bill completely You have
but to take him. and the days of YOUR
travail are over
For President. then. on the simple plat
form Of no empire. George L. Wellington of
Maryland For Vice President, anybody
available. The second man will not count
In such race with such a man in first
place.
See how Mr.. Wellington measures UP to
the emergency. He opposed the war with
Spain Had his advice been taken Spain
would today be In Cuba. Porto Rico and
the Philippines. A cash payment would
have been accepted for the destruction OF
the Maine and the assassination of her
crew-the officers and men appraised at so
much a head-and WeyIer would about now
be finishing up with the last of the recon-
centrados- Mr.. Wellington opposed the an
nexation Of Hawaii. Had his advice been
taken. the appeal of Mr. Dole and his
friends would have been rejected and Mrs
Dominis and her friends would have been
encouraged in their schemfng for the res
toration OF the monarchy, under the pro-
lection. probably. of some strong European
power.
Rut Mr.. Wellington's advice was not
taken. and hence the clouds that lower over
the country. He Is not for silver, not
against the supreme court. not In favor Of
an income tax. nor Of the initiative and
referendum, nor Of government ownership
OF railroads and telesraphs. He is not in
sympathy with the Bryanites on any OF
those propositions He is simply an anti
imperialist. He would put all other ques-
tons aside and concentrate the attention of
the country on the necessity of coming to
the rescue of free institutions before It is
too late He Is stouter Of heart than Mr..
Hoar. clearer of vision than Mr.. Edmunds.
frmer Of purpose than Mr.. Mason They
have compromised with the Man on Horse
back He never will. He will stand fast.
The President has deceived him In ma
uonal affairs. and the President must take
the consequences.
Mr.. Wellington Is the man. Put him I'D at
Indianapolis. Mr. Winslow. Address your
next sonnet TO him. Mr. Garrison Dedicate
your next pamphlet to him. Mr.. Atkinson.
And then, all We who have votes to waste.
prepare to waste them now.

Evidence that the legations at Pekin were

British minister who sends word Of his
safety on that date. and thus England.
which has heretofore been most skeptical
as to the authenticity Of the Conger mes
sage. is forced to admit the probability OF
its genuineness. Sir Claude Macdonald 5
message indicates further that the losses
suffered by the legation party during the
bombardment were mainly IN the line of
the fighting forces. and that the ministerial
parties are virtually unframed. This re-
moves a great burden of fear. caused by
the apprehension that even though the
ministers themselves might be alive. the
majority of their proteges and aides had
been killed by the Smelling.
Meanwhile there are perpleXing delays in
the organization of the allied army now
conferred at Tien Tsin- An American officer

ports rumors at Taku of an immediate adj

when the internationals move it must be
with united front, without suggestion
of friction, and with an equipment so
formidable that China will recognize the
futility of further resistance. But this ad-
vance must be and can be expedited.
The safety of the ministers, If they are
really being held as hostages to prevent an
advance. will depend very largely upon the
spirit in which the powers present their de-
mand in arms to China If a half-hearted
and protraeted warfare Is precipitated
aha of h.
being sacrificed to Chinese hatred and
revenge will be increased. IT, on
the other hand. the allies are able TO
deliver one or two crushing blows in quick
succession. thereby enabling them to pre-
sent themselves at the gates of Pekin with
a minimum Of delay after the first advance.
1t is possible that China. awed by the show
Of force will be willing to deliver the hos
tages unframed to prevent further re-
prisals.
1t would seem the course of prudence,
therefore. for the powers now to unite in
presenting a joint note to China clearly de-
c!aring their intention to rescue the min
listers or to punish the recreant govern
nent II they have been slain or left unde-
Tended TO the fury of the mobs The United
States has laid the foundation for such
declaration in its reply to the Chinese ap-
peal for mediation. 1t should not be difficult
to frame proclamation in the name of
the allied nations, nor should It be impos-
sibIe to lay 1t squarely before the Chinese
government under circumstances to show
that it must be accepted as an ultimatum.
This is no time for negotiations or bar
gains. The need Is for sharp demands In
the name of civilization. and quick action
TO enforce those demands. The appointment

against the President, Mr. Mckinley &
friends cannot account for it. The two men
when in Congress together were on the
best of terms. Mr.. Mckinley in the Fifty
first Congress was Mr. Reeds lieutenant
as leader on the floor, and no man ever
served his chief with greater loyalty or
more effectively. Their contest for the St.
Louis nomination was friendly, and Mr..
Mckinley won with too much ease to have
made him Justly liable to any complaint.
Mr.. Reeds retirement from politics was
purely voluntary. His constituents would
have been glad of continuation of his
services. and probably the President shared
in the general feeling that the political field
In his stepping down and out was losing
a conspicuously able man for legislative
work. Mr.. Reed is said to be opposed to ex-
pansion but the other features of the Phil
adelphia platform are in consonance with
policies he has always advocated.
The excuse for Mr.. Conkling's silence,
then. does not cover the case of Mr. Reed
No old quarrel is to be quoted, nor any
personal injury of any kind. Mr. Reed de-
feated Mr. Mckinley for Speaker with ease
and Mr.. Mckinley defeated him for a pres
idential nomination with ease, and so hon
ors OF that kind are even between them.
However. Mr.. Reed has never been the
towering figure on the stump that Mr.
Conkling was, and he might decline to par
tcipate In this years campaign without
feeling that he was inf1icting a heavy loss
on his party

iieved to forsshadow a similar weakening
In other parts Of the line. Every such cap
ture releases virtually an equal number Of
British soldiers for more aggressive work
in the Transvaal. where the necessities are
more exacting. Thus the balance Is heavily
set against the burghers by this latest blow,
happily delivered without much If any
bloodshed. 1t would be to the ultimate ad-
vantage OF the Beers If they were all to
yield now to the inevitable and end the
war by surrender. They are certain to OBJ
tain fair terms and the final reckoning will
not be as heavy against them II they lay
down their arms now as II they persist in
prolonging the struggle into next season
and thus swelling the already tremendous
war budget of the British.

Civilized nations will be aghast at the
orders given by Kaiser Wilhelm to his
troops to take no prisoners and give nc
quarter. Such orders put a premium on
massacre and bespeak a vengeance allen
to all civilized principles. The Japanese
did no worse at Port Arthur, and German
newspapers were then loud In their condem-
nation of their barbarity. The Chinese
themselves give no quarter and torture the
wounded. So did our American Indians.
Few prisoners or none are taken under
these conditions, but this is no reason for
ordering men to give no quarter. instruc-
tons which prepare a soldIery for hideous
slaughter. Even the German press u
shocked by this utterance. and the civilized
world will utterly condemn 1t.

The Cuban General Election Ordered

The United States continues to give per-
sistent and consistent evidence of alb
solute good faith toward Cuba. To-
day Is published the decree where
by a general election is ordered to
take place September Is, at which thirty
one delegates will be chosen by the various
provinces to form a constitutional conven-
ton to frame the fundamental law of the
republic. At no point in the entire record
of American intervention and guardianship
can evidence be found to suggest that there
was ever the slightest disposition to ignore
or evade the disclaimer by the United
States of territorial designs upon Cuba.

Hawaii has felt the first throbs of the
male shirt-waist problem The Honolulu
Republican thus evidences the trouble In a
recent paragraph:
"A reporter who has no more respect
for his calling than to go about public

appearance of a dock laborer should turn
to some other occupation more fitting his
capabilities"
