China's Army.

army comprises the Eight
Banners" nominally containing about
100000 men. The national army, whose
normal strength is $4,000. has about
100000 available for war. Besides
these forces there IRE mercenary troops
ready, Mongolians and other irregular
cavalry.
Irregular cavalry are nominally 2O0,-
600 strong, but like everything else In
|. China they. exist mostly on paper. They
number but 10000, and are of no mill
tary value. The total land army on q
peace footing is put at 100000. and on n
war footing of about 100000, but the
army as whole has no unity or cohe-
sion.
There is no proper discipline, the drill
is merely physical exercise, and many
of the weapons are long since obsolete,
but since, April, 1895, British firms have
shipped to China seventy-one guns OF
position. 123 field guns. 291 machine
guns. and German firm has supplied
China with over 100000 Mauser rifles
and 100000 rounds Of ammunition.
From this 1t vii be seen the Chinese are
not as backward rs regards war ma
terial as has been supposed.
During the war with Japan, the Chi
nese navy disappointed those who re-
garded 1t as an effective firing force.
Since then n number OF modern vessels
have been added to the feet.

An Inconsistent Candidate.

1t Is evident that Colonel Bryan Is
somewhat alarmed at the desertion of
prominent Democrats. and the extreme
Indifference OF others, for he has made
the announcement that In his speech
accepting the ratification of the Demo-
cracy OF his nomination by the Popu-
lists at Sioux Falls he will give chief
prominence to the paramount issue"
This means that he Will tndeavur to
push free silver into the background
imperialism" But what was the par.
amount Issue ut the time of the meeting
of the Kansas City convention? Mr..
Bryan, in his address to the Colorado
delegation. on the Monday before the
meeting Of that body, when there were
plenty of signs In the air that silver
might be laid upon the shelf. said as
fqrccfully as man could say any
thing:
.5fh'T WANT TO SAY TO YOU THAT
WHEN COLORADO FORSAKES THE
PRINCIPLES OF 1S TO /. AND
WHEN THE PEOPLE HAVE
CEASED IN THEIR SUPPORT OF
THE PRINCIPLE. WILL BE
FOUND STILL FIGHTING. EVEN
THOUGH ALONE"
1t was this explicit expression OF his
views that moved the convention to re-
affirm the wholly discrrditcd shibboleth
of 1896 This was the paramount issue
then. and It Is now. However Willing
Bryan may be to subordinate free silver
for bugaboo. for something that has
not existed. for n conJcctural III, he will
not be able to do 1t. Mr.. Bryan. HIM
self. Is the paramount Issue. and ms he
Is the Incarnation of the 10 to fallacy,
he will not be able to fool the people
with Irrelevant distractions.
But MS Senator Hanna said ut MI

other day, the Republicans are willing
to meet him upon any issue which he
may raise. C
I'VE know enough OF the situation"
said Mr.. Hanna, ITO be perfectly aware
that the people of the United States
want to hear nil about the Issues OF this
campaign. II the Democrats assert
that imperialism Is one OF the Issues II
will be the duty OF our speakers aud

LAND THAT'S NOT RECORDED
A sTRIPOF 3, 900 ACRES FOUND
IN BAKER COUNTY.
Discovered Through an Applica-
ton as to the Ownership of
Certain Property.

There is a narrow strip of unsurVeyed
land in the southern part of Baker coun-
~ containing about 5000 acres, between
land districts IL and Il, unaccounted for
in the records Of the secretary OF states
office.
This discovery was made through the
efforts of Bakerite in trying to ascer-
tain the ownership Of a certain nu noer
of acres adjoining the Flint river. Secre-
tarv Cook, in Looking up the mater,
found that the eleven and half land lots
which at that time were the property OF
the state, were ordered sold by the inte-
,ior court and the fund Arising was to be
apnlied TO the education of the poor
children of the county. 1t is presumed
that the land was sold, and it is now &C
cupied and being cultivated.
Many persons C aim title to the land,
but the state department has not been
informed that there Is any contention
over any part of it. Some of the occu-
pants want to perfect their title back to
the states ownership, and in order to do
this must get the record of the grant OF
land from Secretary Cooks office.
The inferior couIt,if the property was
sold under the act of the legislature
failed to report the transaction, which
