REFORMERS BEHEADED.
Cruelty of the Chinese Empress Dow.
ager Is ShOcking1y Illus
trated.

When the emperor of China abdi-
Gated two years ago, forced to that
action by the empress dowager, the
latter had an opportunity to display
her sanguinary despotism, and she i'm
proved it to the utmost. Six of the re-
formers who had been held response
BILE for their too precipitate method
of recognizing the government of the
empire lost their heads, and some 300
others were marked out for slaughter.
The numbers of the prescribed have
been considerably swened by those
who got up the petition against the
emperor's dethronement. That this
was deliberately planned does not adj
nit of doubt. though the empress
dowager did leave herself the loophole
consequences of her own somewhat
rash design. The child who was Sc
lected to succeed the present emperor,
and who is still his official successor,
was designated as the heir of Tung-
Chin, the emperor who died twenty
five years ago, and not of Kuang-Hsu.
By this action 1t was proposed to blot
out the latter from the list of emper-
ors Of China, and the year beginning
with the 31st of January last would
have been known as the first year of
whatever dynastic title should be Sc
lected for the six-year-old son Of
Prince Tuan.

AT the Democratic state convention
Candidate Bohmrich, preceding the
adoption of the platform, expressed
himself as being in favor of any prin-
ciples which his party saw fit to adj
vocate. This attitude, everybody
must admit, is vastly different from
that assumed by Mr.. La Toilette. The
latter is for something and is not
afraid to insist upon having it.

New Idea In Bible Making,

Something new in Bible making has
been thought of by Coventry, Eng,
publisher, who has had the temerity
to put the New Testament before the
Old. He explains himself as follows:
The Old Testament Is meant as q
candlestick upon which the New Tes-
lament should stand; yet we have
largely made it an extinguisher which
puts out the light. If the
Christian Scripture Is the medium by
which we draw nearer the supreme
manifesto ton Of God on earth, should
It not be placed first in fact as well as
In theory?
