Meaning of Boxers

That such confusion exists as to
precisely who and what the Chinese
Boxers" are is probably due to the
rapidity and frequency with which
the native secret societies in China
change their names when they de-
sire to continue their organization
and purposes free from the surveil-
lance of the government. When at
last an edict of suppression is issued
the society simply takes new title
and goes on as if nothing had hap
pened.
The society of Boxers" says the
Philadelphia Times. is supposed to
mum Der eleven millions of men. 1t
was originally a sort of law and or
der league, organized for protection
against the bandits, with which the
province of Shan-Tung was invested.
It's name was then Ia Tao Hwei,
which means The Society of the
Great Sword" 1t is law and order
league gone wrong. As this society
became more powerful, many dishon-
est and designing persons entered it.
and in numerous cases directed its
efforts against personal enemies,
whom they represented to be bandits
and lawless persons. Some of these
victims, looking for help from the
prosecutions of the Great Sword So
ciety, turned 20 the Christian mis-
sionaries, especially, it is said, the
German Catholics. They professed
conversion, and the missionaries
sought to protect them. A series of
outrages on Christians followed until,
forced the government to send force
against the Great Swords. There
was battle, followed by the report
to the governor of Shan-Tung that
the so-called rebels were honest coun-
try folk.
Then the Great Sword society dis
appeared, by edict, and in it's place
sprang ready-made the Universal
Society of Boxers" with the old or
ganization and purposes and with the
added idea of fighting all foreign in
huence missionary or otherwise
and of having the government help it.
The operations of the society and the
outrages committed by it have since
continued, and have constantly be-
come bolder.
The Chinese name for the society is
I-Ho-Tuon. the l meaning righteous
ness, the Ho standing for peace and
Tuon meaning fist.
As to the increased influence of
Russia at Pekin it has been ex-
planned by pointing out that Russia
declined to join the other powers in
making representations to the Pekin
government with respect to the Boxer
movement, basing her refusal upon
the fact that she is an Asiatic power.

Standard OIL Degeneraoy.

Williams college, of Williamson,
Mass, has certainly not received any
of the beniticent dispensations of
Providence from John ID. Rockefeller,
known as "honest dollars" This is
TO be inferred from the remarks of DIR.
Bascus. who thus alludes to the Stan
dard Oil gang:
Il suppose that in the last so years
the Standard Oil company has done
more mischief in this country than all
the thieves, pickpockets and burglars.
They have wrongfully transferred
more money than all these. The
opinion of the American people has
been altered by the doings of this
company. which has thoroughly de-
bauched us. That Rockefeller is good
Baptist brother is the dsmnation of it
all. And we allow such a man to endow
theological university! This man
has stripped family after family and
man after man of his livelihood"
