AMERICA AND CHINA.

| The United States Is not trying to get
n sphere of influence in China and does
not intend to keep troops in that coun-
try longer than may be necessary to
restore and guarantee order. Secretary
Hay instructed our Minister at Picking
to act not In concert with the Euro
pean powers, but Independently on the
same lines; and to demand of the Chi
nese Government two things. namely:
| % The prompt disarmament of the
Boxer Society or Righteous Harmony
Fists. as the native name goes; (2)
guarantees for the maintenance of
peace and protection for the life and
property of foreigners. In discussing
what has followed up to the End of
June The outlook says: "The Chinese
Government has sent n note to the dip
lomatic representatives Mt Picking,
promising to suppress the Boxers; but
its ability to carry out this pledge Is
generally doubted. In the province of
Chill, in which Picking is situated, the
Boxers have waXed so strong as to mas
sacre nearly n hundred Christians at
PaOtingfu Cthe largest city in Chill. ex-
cept Picking and Tlentsin), and since
then they have massacred sixty native
Christians at village only forty miles
from the capital. They also burned a
railway station thirty miles from Pc
king destroyed q number of cars,
wrecked the track, and murdered sew
eral native employees. Five hundred
refugees have sought protection In the
French Cathedral at Picking. The Box
ers have now defeated Government
troops sent out to repress them. How
genuine Is the desire of the Government
for their repression is, however, doubt
full. In the province of Hupe the Box
ers have destroyed a number of villages
occupied by native Christians and have
massacred all the Inhabitants. The
troops sent to suppress the Boxers In
the latter province We're ambushed last
week twenty-slN We're killed and many
wounded 1t Is in the province of shan
tung, however, that the Boxers are
strongest. 1t Will not be forgotten that
the preteNt for the seizure of port Of
Shantung, Kiaochau. by the Germans,
was the murder OF two German Roman
Catholic missionaries. 1t is reported
that the withdrawal OF all missionaries
from the interior has now become Inn
peratlve. German troops are protecting
our missionaries In Shantung, while at
TalSu, the port OF Picking. the foreign
war-ships have been augmented by the |
arrival OF the United States cruiser

GRosvENoR's ESTIMATE.

General Grosvenor's first estimate oi
the result of the coming national cleo
ton Is at hand and is noteworthy on
account of the repute the veteran Ohio
statesman enjoys for the accuracy OF
his political forecasts. 1t will be re-
membered that in 1896 he foretold with
nearly sure precision what States would
support Mckinley in convention. Later
on he made almost as good guesses
about the States that would be carried
by the Republican nominee, his only
fault being that he underestimate the
size of the triumph. He now figures
that Mckinley will have 200 electoral
votes to Bryan's ia. He comedies
Maryland and Kentucky to Bryan
classes Kansas as doubtful and is not
without hope that Nebraska may &c
Republican. Gen. Grosvenor does not
entertain the least fear for Indiana OF
New York. Whatever his sources of in
formation may be he Is probably very
close to the truth.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

One OF the defects in the Federal Con-
stitutlon is its failure to endOw the

so as to make 1t an object of ambition

President has to do now is to wait for

1t was the hope of the Kansas poll
ticians when they got General Funston
back into the Philippine service that
he would win no more fame and grad
ually pass out of the minds of the Kan
sas voters. But luck and pluck are still
with the gallant young officer and he
has rekindled the fires of Kansas pa
triotism by new act of military dis
ttnction. This time he did not swim a
river to get at the enemy but he climb
ed beetling cliff by n bamboo ladder
and found the hidden archives of the
Filipino government and large store
of ammunition. or course in the climb

that did not matter to Funston. who

HAwAlrs orv1Llz1No SPIRIT.

some years ago speaker at a loca
celebration said that the clvllizinF IN
Huence OF the white colony In Hawai-
which had redeemed the natives would
vet reach the yellow races. II was the
thought OF the speaker that Asiatics
could not always live In the midst OF
yirile white civilization without eaten
ing some OF its spirit; and that In the
long run they would furnish mission
aries to labor for political and social
regeneration among their own people.
one might have supposed that the
Japanese would be first to realize this
expectation and to some unimportant
extent they have done so. 1t does not
take a little brown man long, who ar
rives here In a figured kimona ana
straw sandals, to acquire cheap Am
erican suit. a red or lavender necktie
hat and shoes. and to indulge in soda
water on a hot day. Further than that
we cannot answer for the civillZing In
Huence OF Hawaii upon the Mikados
subjects. But the more conservative
Chinese have made a long stride. by
virtue OF their surroundings, to reach
the goal set before them by Leung
Chi-tso, a young political reformer who
in his earlier youth caught the spirit OF
the English colony at Hongkong. He
found here a Chinese population which
had been weaned in great degree
from the conservative traditions Of their
country: who believed In reform and in
novatiors: who were ready, even, to
sacrifice thelr queues for the encour-
agement OF racial progress. The num-
Der of those who have accepted Leung
Chi-tso's gospel is very great and they
are ready. II the opportunity comes, to
go to China and spread 1t there with
voice or sword. We hold that the new
movement Is as complimentary to Ha-
wall as It is to the young Hongkong
reformer: for it was here that his fol-
lowers were prepared to receive linn In
an appreciative spirit.
Much of this missionary work has
been unconsciously done. There was
no such union of purpose and
effort on behalf of the AsatiCs as
there was on behalf of the natives. The
yellow ard brown soJourners here have
simply breathed in or assimilated liber-
al ideas. II Is strange to think that
this small archipelago may have de-
cisive part In the regeneration of the
oldest empire In the world, yet az the
speaker NJ years ago said to his Homo
lulu audience. in the smallest coun-
tries TIE greatest causes have begun
their Roadway. There was creed of
fishermen once In Judea; there We're in
spiratiors for all the world among the
isles of Greece: the career of the
French empire began in Corsica: and
the whole world has been Influenced for
n thousand years by those little islands
in TIE northern seas whose fierce winds
unroll the red flag of England.

THE CRISIS IN CHINA.

The revolution in China, for that is
what the Boxer movement has become
probably marks the beginning of the
end OF Chlna's autonomy. All the Euro
pean powers have agreed with the as
sent OF Japan and the United States &c
intervene and when they do so they
will probably demand territorial com
penSatlon. Russia already has Man
churia ard this whets the appetite of
other powers, notably Germany, Eng
land ard France. Each one of them
and some others besides now have their
spheres of influence staked out and it
will be an easy thing, on the plea OF
guaranteeing order, to quietly nation
alize them and put the Chinese popula-
tlon under white suzerainty.
We believe that such q movement will
be fraught with benefits to the Chinese
people who are too much fettered with
tradition to do anything for themselves.
As It was. so they will have 1t in China
1t needs the stimulus not only OF white
example but white compulson. to make
the people any different than their re-
mote ancestors were. True. Chinese
have been made adaptable to white
ways when they lived in a white mans
country, out not TO any SlSnlUCant eN-
tent in their own. There they need TO
be ruled by whites and when they are,
and see the advantages of western
knowledge and come to share in the
gains that must accrue from the devel-
opment Of China's resources by west
ern enterprise and capital, they will
become changed people. Let them
learn that Confucius was a crank when
he forbade them to delve for wealth
under the surface of the earth and that
such delving will give them more pros
perity than they ever had in the past:
and when to all this is given facility in
manufacturing and a vast market for
the product. the Chinese will leap out
OF their conservatism as a strong man
leaps out OF bed and go with more than
japanese esprit into the activities OF
modern life
1t Ia great prospect which events
are opening up; the beginning of a new
and perhaps startling chapter in the
history OF the world.

ONE LEGISLATIVE TONGUE.

Native politicians along the route fol-
lowed by Robert Wilcox and his col
leagues evidently think that the good
old times are about to return. Various
former leaders are already nominating
themselves or each other from districts
which no longer exist and for legisla-
tive posts which they cannot fiji by
reason of their inability to speak and
write the English language. Those
prime old favortes Kalauokalani, Kau-
liza and Mahoe are already in the field
as they were wont to be in the vanish
ed Kalakaua days, yet. as their organ
the Independent points out, their only
end can be in 1.-The political soup" of
ineigibllity.
Undoubtedly the new law will work
hardshlps to able native leaders some
OF whom are much to be preferred in
the law-making body to white adven-
turers who may seek to control Hawaii
an suffrages. Still the provision that
there shall be but one official language
for the United States Is just and reas-
enable. Were II not insisted upon In
all the States and Territories, New
Mexico might have a Spanish LegIsla-
ture, Minnesota might have to put up
with English. German and Scandlna-
Wan lawmakers and the Municipal AS
sembly of Greater New York might be
babel OF Anglo-SaXon. Latin, Gothic
and Slavic tongues. one official Ian
guaEe is a gain to the national idea. a
safeguard OF union, an inspiring innu-
ence upon naturallzed aliens who. but
for it, might always content themselves
with foreign speech and customs.
We shall see the fact proven in these
islands. Young Hawaians will feel
more than they ever did before the need
OF acquiring English speech and I'm the
course OF years the uncouth Hawaiian
dialect will. be as rarely heard as Is the
original Gaelic among the inhabitants
OF Ireland. With knowledge OF English
must come the absorption Of the ideas
which that language embraces and
conveys; process which will make the
native islander eventually as American
In his habits as are the descendants of
the Spanish Dons who live In Callfor-
MIA.

President Kruger talks in the same
last ditch" fashion that the Confed-
crates of the American Civil War af-
fected when their cause was lost. He
vaguely excuses his movable capital
which has been rolled conveniently
near the Portuguese border and talks
easily of return to Pretoria. "Guer-
rilla warfare" Is a phrase that falls
trippingly from his tongue though he
must be well aware that If the British
after occupying both republics, offer
amnesty, he cannot keep his thrifty
burghers together. They will want to
go back to attend to their families and
their stock. 1t may be set down as II
