THE TROUBLE in CHINA.

The Chinese question is becoming alarming.
News from that coun ry is unreliable, but
enough is known to prove that many foreigners
have been killed by the "boxers," and that all
foreigners who are there are in danger.
Several fights have taken place between the
Chinese and the Called powers" in which the
foreigners suffered severity. A large number OF
American soldiers have been killed
There is little doubt that Minister Conger
and his wife have been killed by the boxers,
and that the representatives of other nations
have suffered the same fate.
The CALLED" powers are sending soldiers in
to China, but that nation has over six million
available soldiers, and ample means to arm and
equpe them; so all other nations might send all
of their available soldiers there, and then not
make an impression on the Chinese army
The future certainly looks dark. Warfare
will soon be worldwide.

GOVERNOR ESKRIDGE A SUlC IDE.

Chas. V. Eskridge, editor of the Emporia
Republican, and one of the leading newspaper
men of the state, who has been very sick for
some time, shot himself last Sunday morning,
aud lived but two hours afterward. He was
suffering from cancer of the liver, and knew he
could live but short time. He suffered SO
much pain that he concluded that it would be
better to end his life.
Mr.. Eskridge was one of the best-known
men of the state. He helped to make Kansas
shine in the galay of states. He occupied
numerous positions of honor and trust. 1t was
through his efforts that the state normal school
was located at Emporia.
Mr.. Eskridge founded the Emporia Republic
an, and ne continued to publish the paper up to
the time of his death. He was friend of silver
to which he remained true. One of the last ed
itorials dictated by him was in the interest of
silver. We quote portion of it:
81 am for the largest use of silver in the cur
rency of the country. l would not dishonor
it, would give it equal credit and honor with
gold; would make no discrimination; would
utilize both metals as money and discredit nei-
Their; l want the double standard. "-William
Mckinley.
"The Republicans stand OH the money ques-
ton just where Mckinley stood i'll 1890. Not
for gold standard nor for silver standard, but
for both metals. That is where Mckinley
would stand to day if the trusts did not control
the party.
"When the Democrats get their double. tailed
ticket fixed up we will determine whether the
Republican will support Bryan or Mckinley"
Now that Mr. Eskridge is dead, the future
nolicy of his paper remains doubt. Had he
lived, he would have supported Bryan.

WILLIE WALDORF AsToR said the United
States is not fit place for a gentleman to live
in, so he hed him over the big pond and swore
break into the Charmed circle' of the loyal
aristocracy; and, having gained little recog-
milton, his head swelled up till it bursted his
hatband. The English aristocracy soon tired
of him, and, few days ago, ''cut him dead"
The Prince of Wales said of him. "That fel.
low makes me weary" So, Willie Waldorf is
now leaving England, and will try to find some
place where hunkies will be appreciated. The
British aristocrats served him right. There
should be no person so low as to do him honor
or even recognize him again.

WE learn that Ex-Governor St. John has ten
red his services to Hon. M. S. Peters during
