The United States and China.

If the present signs in China mean
what they really appear to, the twen-
tieth century will open with one of the
most important events of its history.
The integrity Of China is threatened,
and China has already commenced to
resent the assaults upon her. II is
said that the Empress shows favor to
the Boxers, and why should she not?
The Boxers are estimated to number
10,OOO,0O0 men. and the probability is
that the number is increasing rapidly.
The societies stand for China, for the
conservative devotion to the throne.
and the Boxer must be accepted as the
exponent of the idea of loyalty in the
empire. His religion, his patriotism
and his enthusiasm are wrapped up in
the idea of China for the Chinaman
He has better ground for his posi-
tion than the American for his devo-
tion of similar sort because the Chi
naman's country has been that of his
ancestors for many centuries. The
sympathy of rightly constituted people
must be with the Chinese in maintain
ing their government The outrage
upon American citizens is an incident
just at this time, and must not be per-
mitted to cloud the main issue.
1t is the business of the United
States to protect its citizens in China
but in doing that much the duties of
this country do not involve anything
that lends sanction to the scheme of
dismembering the empire This coun-
try is concerned in maintaining the in
tegrity of China, not in parceling the
territory out among the nations of the
old world. Once China understands
that no designs are entertained upon
her territory half the power of the
Boxers will be gone, and the throne
can control the rest. But otherwise
bloodshed and chaos are the certain
prospects. Peace and order are what
this country desires in China, that
Americans may be safe and that Am
erican commerce there may thrive.
And beyond all OF that 1t is no concern
OF the United States to take part, ac-
tive or passive, in any scheme of the
powers for the spoilation OF any other
country. y.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Cavalry a Thing Of the Past.


Under the new conditions Of war,
and above all in such a war as the
present. the old heroic function OF cav
airy is at an end, and the great
charges, which have the most thrilling
and splendid episodes of battles In the
past, may never again be seen. War on
land, as on sea, becomes less plctur-
esque as it becomes more businesslike
and deadly. The use of cavalry aglnst
infantry resolves itself simply into a
question of time At. Balaklaya,
think, the charge of six hundred men
from the moment the word was given
until all that was left of them reap
peared out of the smoke. occupied
scarcely twenty-one minutes. In that
interval of time, with modern weap-
ons, cavalry would be utterly annihi-
lated.
Even in the brilliant and terrible
scene of Sedan, General de Gallifet
led his squadorns, in their spneddid
uHllUTulS, Olle W Dt W
the Prussian foot. The most desper-
ate efforts were utterly in vain, and
no one who remembers that scene
can believe that any cavalry charge
could live against the fire of modern
rifles and artillery under any circum-
stances. Unless they could spring out
of the ground upon infantry, they
would melt away before the magazine
rifle long before they they could ap-
preach close quarters.
Assaults by the bayonet are abolish
ed by the same conditions. OF course,
and General who brought cavalry
within mile of a trench ought to be
shot. To the British army the dimin-
ished Importance of cavalry in battle
is not a loss but, gain. Our cavalry
was wretched in the Peninsula, and
has been generally inferior to the
French-though it is one of our char
acteristic opinions that a Frenchman
cannot ride The old role of cavalry
may still be maintained in puruslt,
though on that point the unhappy ex-
perience of the Eighteenth Hussars,
In reconnoitering, on the other hand,
the work of cavalry is much more i'm
portant than ever, and al the same
time more difficult. An enemy who
cannot be approached within some
thing under two miles cannot be pre-
cisel ylocated, and yet it is absolutely
necessary that his general position
should be discovered. 1t would be
hard to say whether there is more risk
in gaining such vague and partial in
ofrmation or in acting upon it. don't
know how the imperial yeomanry are
to be used but for some time they will
require to be handled with great care
if they are not to find their way pre-
maturely to Pretoria. They will be
annoyed by the great story patches
creeping out on the veldt and some
times as smooth as glass.-London

THE DEVIL.

The devil doesn't go about with a
mask fixed DER his eyes;
eli never puts on anything intended to
disguise;
The devil never steals around in
search of people he
May catch red-handed in their sins or
turn from probity;
The devil never stalks abroad-he has
no time to roam
Around in search of victlms--he's kept
busy right at hime.
The devil never lies in wait where
righteous people fare,
To pounce upon them unawares and
drag them to his lair;
He does no rearing through the land

To throw distractions in the way of

SIR ROBERT HAaTs SUCCESSOR.
No! Unlikely that He Eay Be John C. Fergu-
son. an American.

New York, July 30.-The Mr. Fergu-
son, who was spoken OF as the possible
successor to Sir Robert Hart as the
head OF the Chinese customs service.
in the morning papers, is John c. Fer
guson, a brother of Rev. DIR. Wibert p.
Ferguson, pastor of ST. Luke's Metho-
dist Episcopal church. in Newark. n.
j. DR.. Ferguson does not think it I'M
likely his brother would be placed in
charge of the maritime custom if Sir
Robert Hart. the English representa-
tive. has been killed in Pekin.
Il have seen in dispatches" said DR..
Ferguson. today, that an attempt has
been made by Sheng. the director gen
eral of posts and telegraphs. to place
the customs of the empire under John
{. Ferguson, an American missionary.
and that this scheme had the support
of the American consuls If Sir Robert
Hart has been murdered his successor
will no doubt soon be appointed and
as Americas influence seems now pre-
dominant. because of Secretary HAYS
open door policy and Admiral Kempff's
refusal to fire on the Taku forts. il
seems reasonable that an American
should be considered.
John c. Ferguson is not at present
a missionary. but the president of great
Imperial University, Nanyang. at
Shanghai. He is also private adviser
of Sheng and foreign adviser of the
viceroy of Marking. Mr.. Ferguson is
also the editor and publisher of a Chin
csc daily at Shanghai.
My brother has been trusted with
very important matters by the highest
officials of the empire and has had the
third button of the empire conferred
upon him. Sheng is at the head of the
great Chinese trading company and
would doubtless desire that the GUS
toms should be administered by one in
whom he places confidence"
Mr.. Ferguson is but "a years old, but
has been in China nearly IA years and
is thoroughly familiar with the Ian
guage. John Ferguson was born in
Canada and attended Boston Univer-
sty. from which he was sent as mis-
sionary to China
