China Objects.

The Empress Dowager of China is firing o.
the partition of her empire, and has instructed
imperial officials to declare war upon any
foreign power attempting 10 seize territory
belonging to the Jurisdictions under their con
troll. The generals and commanders OF troops
have been instructed to be ready for emer-
gency, and those in one province are to assist
those in adjoining provinces, where attemps
to seize ports and territory may be made.
After China's humiliation by Japan all Europe
made a scamble to seize ports, some by me-
potiation and others without asking leave.
Italy was denied a concession OF territory,
and the Empress fears an attempt to seize
some by Italy, hence the order.
The Chinese empire, however, is doomed
doomed so far as its chieftrade ports are con-
cerned. Russia, Japan, Germany, France
and England have all taken a port and aslice
of land, and will hold what they have. 1t is
the almighty dollar all are after, and their
acts are based upon the idea that trade toi-
lows the flag, a notion that certain imperial
lists of this country have embraced. Some OF
these imperialists are even hoping that the
United States may get port and foothoid
there. and this, too, in the face OF the TACT
that the United States prohibits Chinese COM
ing to this country. If the Empress stands to
her resolution to repel invasion, the United
States may have to fight for a footing, but the
sacrifice of a few lives is not matter OF con-
sequence to the Hanna Mckinley Admins
ton, so they can keep up with the imperial
mowers of Europe.

Hawaii in Congress.

In the plan of government for Hawaii, now
before Congress, that island possession OF the
United States is to have a delegate in Con-
gress, lust like the home territories. AT the
last election the registered vote of Hawaii wa
1858, less than one third of the vote of Car
roll county. The population of the islands
is about 100, 900, divided as follows:-8l, O19
Hawaiians, s,4S5 part Hawaiians, 3,eS6
Americans, $3.50 British, ,4S2 Germans, lOl
French, 37S Norwegians, 1871 Portuguese,
24,4O7 Japanese, 81 $40 Chinese and l,c55 OF
other nationalities.
Like all territories, Hawaii will soon be
asking for statehood, and if the Republicans
remain in power, and party necessities de-
mand two Republican United States Senators
to maintain control of the Senate, Hawai-
will be admitted and two citizens OF these tar
off islands will come to help govern the
United States. So it will be, in time, with Porto
Rico and the Philippines. From the latter for
ty. fifty or any number of states can be erected,
and then we will have beautiful govern
ment, indeed. r.,
This is the year to call halt in territorial
expansion, with all its possible evils, and the
way TO do it is to dethrone the Hanna-Mc-
Kinley oligarchy at Washington.

Diversions of Cecil Editors.

Cecil editors do not confne themselves
wholly to newspaper work. Editor Ash, oil
the Democrat, attends real estate sales, and
when piece of property is going at bar,
gain, scoops it in, sells at an advance and
waits for another opportunity. Recently,
when the old fair grounds were going at a
low figure he swiped the property for little
less than $40, 900 and will make a profit OF
$4,000.
Editor Brattan, of the News, captures burg
lars for diversion, and landed one early
Wednesday morning of last week, just as the
fellow was entering the News office from the
cellar. He was a colored youth. and search
of his lodgings disclosed rich find of PTS
tolss, gloves and other goods, the reward OF
several recent burglaries that have disturbed
the quiet town on the Elk.

Some gentlemen in Baltimore would like
to see the representation of that city increased
in the General Assembly. The scheme in
cludes three members of the House for all
counties suuder 10000 population and one
member extra for each additional 10000.
The whole number in the House, including
SO from Baltimore instead of IS, would be
$50 as against 81 at present. Baltimore now
has one.fifth of the members of the House and
under the proposed change would have less
than one-fourth. We see no advantage in the
change for Baltimore nor for the counties.
We do see, however, an increase of about
$50, 900 in legislative expenses, an unwieldy
body and flood of useless bills.
