Is Partition a Remedy

Sir Robert Hart, the head ot the
Chinese Customs Department, de-
clares that the partition of China
is the only means Of preventing
China from taking effective ven-
geance ultimately on Europe for
recent humiliations. There is, he
says, in China a universal pride in
Chinese institutions and contempt
OF foreigners, OF which the Boxer
movement is natural expression.
1t is movement that is bound to
grow, and we are to look forward,
he thinks, to a time when "the
children or grandchildren OF to-
days volunteers will possess the
best weapons money can buy, and
then the yellow peril will be be-
yond ignoring" II China last
June did not hesitate to DEFY all
Europe and America, what will
she do years hence when she is
better prepared Sir Robert an
swers: Twenty millions or more
Of Boxers, armed, drilled. disci-
plined and animated by patriotic
if mistaken-motives, will make
residence in China impossible for
foreigners, will take back from for
eigners everything foreigners have
taken from China, will pay off old
grudges with interest and will
carry the Chinese flag and Chinese
arms into many a place that even
fancy will not suggest today, thus
preparing for the future upheavals
and disasters never even dreamt

Our Claim against Morocco.

The United States Consul Gen
eral, Samuel Rummere, is under
stood to have made further strong
representations to the Moorish
Government officials, urging the
immediate payment OF the Ameri-
can claims. 1t is also again re-
ported that an American cruiser is

OF the slight reparation that the
United States asks Tor the murder
at Fee, in Morocco, Of Morcos
Ezaoul, the newspapers printed at
Tangier make a reason for indig-
nant comment.
Marcos Ezaoui, an American,
vas chief clerk at Fee OF b. Braun
shvig & Co., merchants. He was
on horseback near the market
place Of the town. A cherif was
struck by his horse.
The man struck Ezaoui with a
club. Ezaoui retalIated with his
whip, and in an instant was sur
rounded by Arabs, They threw
stones at him; they struck him and
his horse with a stick.
He fired his revolver haphazard
in the crowd, and, taking advan-
tage Of the confusion that this
caused took refuge in a coffee
house. Its owner, to protect him,
locked the door.
The rumor went through the
market place that a roumi had
killed a cheriff. Irritated groups
rushed to the coffee house and de-
manded the roumi's surrender.
Ezaoui's protector refusing to sur
render him, the mob broke into
the coffee house and dragged him
out. He was struck by one man
on the head with an axe and his
hand was cut off with a sword by
another. Then he was thrown into
iaggots that the mob had soaked
with petroleum and burned to
death in horrible tortures,
The claim OF the United States
is said at Tangiers to be for $1,000
damages.

"Unless something unforeseen

II Is a source of siacere regret
that Mr.. Lentz tailed Of reelection

he handled the trusts in the Coeur

doubtedly caused his defeat. Like

False Assertions.

The New York 2outnaI says
that Bryan was defeated by the
silver question. 1t might have
added that the 90uyHak and other
Democratic papers, aided in his
defeat by publishing at high
rates layish advertisements alleg-
ing that Bryan being in favor Of 16
TO l, his election would depreciate
the dollar to 50 cents-Rooseyelt
said to 4S cents. These assertions
were uncontradicted by those
Democratic papers, the ToHyHaL
among them. In the same way
the Baltimore papers, the SHN and
the C01yISp0nGeNt included, de-
ieated the Maryland Democracy.
While pretending 10 support
Bryan. they sold their columns to
his opponents at regular advertis
ing rates for the publication OF sim
liar false assertions. This may
have been good business but it was
bad politics. We look in vain for
such generosity and "iairness" in
the Republican press.
They did not say. as they might
have said, that the ratio Of 10 to
had been established since 1894,
and was the ratio today; that our
mints are coming millions OF dol
lars every year and millions Of cer-
tihcates are printed payable in 10
TO 1 silver dollars; that no Repub-
lican Administration or Congress
had ever made an attempt to
change that ratio; that there are
now 6oo, 900, 900 rs to I dollars
coin or certificates, in circulation
in the country. Bryan asked moth
Ing but the continuation Of the
present law. He wanted silver and |
gold to be the law as it had been
since the beginning OF the Govern
ment. To fix any other ratio could |
only be done by Congress. Nc |
