CHINA'S UPHEAvAL.

Whilst not officially confirmed by our
department of state, it is practically
certain that, on or about July 18th, a
breach was made in the walls of the
British legation in which the officials of
all nations. including Anne ricans, to-
gether with all foreigners resident in
Pekin had taken refuge and chat, in all
human probability. not single for
eigner lives to tell the terrible details OF
their massacre by the Chinese. 1t II

GEN ERAL ROGERS WIrHpRAws.

On Friday last General E. NJ. Rogers
made formal announcement of his re-
tirement rom the gubernatorial canvass.
His declaration is brief and speaks for
itself. as follows:
To the voters of Vernon county:
announce my withdrawal rs candidate
for governor. To the friends WIN have
so kindly assured me of their support and
encouraged me with their good will |
extend hearty thanks.
EARL NJ. ROGERS.
General Rogers doubtless believed the
gubernatorial game so far as the nom
ination went was up and continuation
of his aspirations futile everything hay
ing taken q turn to La Follette's
standard. Since those Developments
and the withdrawal Of Messrs Jones,
Bradford and Whitehead, he has
had little hope of securing much support
outside of his home county. From the
date of the announcement of his candi-
dacy, several months ago, there has
been no disposition anywhere in the
county TO do less than 3 We cheerful sup
port and grant General Rogers the home
delegation without contest, so long as
such support was of any avail to him,
notwithstanding the very strong La
Toilette sentiment which pervades the
county.
General Rogers withdrawal leaves
the republicans in county convention
which meets August 4th. free to cast
their political fortunes elsewhere and

BRYAN AND THE POOR MAN.
From the Chicago Inter-ocean.l

Mr. Bryan is posing as the poor mans
candidate. The democratic newspapers
picture him as the mainstay of the
farmer and laborer. Is he?
Mr.. Bryan is against the expansion
policy which has already opened new
markets for our farm products and our
manufactures, and which is indespensa-
BILE to our commercial development. AL
ready there has been great improvement
in our trade with Cuba. Porto Rico, the
Hawaiian islands and the Philippines.
By reason of our entrance into the
Asiatic Pacific, an almost hmitless
market has been laid open to our in
dustries To develope this market is to
help every man employed in an Ameri-
can factory, in an American mine, on
an American farm, along an American
railway or on an American trading
vessel.
The policy that is to give us more
merchant vessels, more railways, more
steel mills, and more factories, more
demand for farm products, and higher
prices for what the laborer or farmer
has to SELL is the .oor mans policy.
Mr. Bryan does not represent it. He
would restrict the field of commercial
activity, he would pull down the flag in
the Philippines, he would surrender all
the political and business opportunities
of expansion.
Mr. Bryan also clings tenaciously to
the free coinage of silver at ratio of 10
to l. He openly advocates deprecated
currency. Yet, as was said by Daniel
Webster whom Mr.. Bryan is fond of
quoting THE very man of all others
who has the deepest interest in sound
currency, and who suffers most by mis-
chiavous legislation in money matters,
is the man who earns his daily bread by
his daily toll; disordered currency is
one of the greatest political evils; of all
the contrivances for cheating the labor
ing classes of mankind none has been
more effectual than this-the most eff
fectuat OF all Inventions 10 tertlllZe the
rich mans fields by the sweat of the
poor mans brow
Mr.. Bryan also favors tariff for rev
enue only. He was strongl against the
Mckinley tariff and he would repeaA The
Diugley tariff. He would restore the
Cleveland tariff and worse Yet every
pour man knows what he must suffer,
aud did suffer, under such a measure,
with business PROSTATE. with factori "a
closed. with thousands idle, and with
armies of tramps in every state.
How, then, can Mr.. Bryan be the poor
mans candidate, except in the sense
that should he be President, this would
be poor mans landy
