CAUSE OF BOXER MOVEMENT.

Some light is. shed upon the "boxer"
uprising by translations from the Chi
nese book of Ksng-YuWei. These
translations have been made by the
North China Herald. The theme of
the author is the danger that China
men will be driven out of China with
nowhere to go, or be exterminated.
From the translations few sentences
are selected:
Russia has elected the Hebrews,
160, 600 having been driven forth.
Twenty four hours were allowed them
to get beyond the Russian boundaries.
They could sell neither their lands nor
houses, and could take with them only
little ready money. More-
over, when elected from Russia they
had no native land to which to turn.
Long ago Palestine had been parceled
out among it's powerful neigh bors.
"Our races will be destroyed. See
how Russia has treated Poland. The
Russians banished all the aoled- bod
led men and allowed only the old men
TO remain in the country. Therefore
the Polish race is exterminated. At
present the women of India are mar
ried to foreigners. Every body knows
that the races of India are in danger
of being eXtermina' ed, Today the
white races predominant over the en-
tire globe. Among the yellow races
the Chinese only WELD any political
influence aud ru their own country.
If our country should be conquered
and its government controlled by fol-
eigners, they would assuredly treat US
as they have the Poles and the Hindus.
We, our children and our grandchil-
dreu would be altogether extermi-
mated"
There is more to the same purport.
Japan only is excepted from the list of
enemies "China and Japan hold the
same clio relationship to each other
as do the lips to the teeth" says the
author, He refers to the size of China,
larger than sixteen powers of Europe,
with 400, 900, 900 people, yet 1--WE are
despised, insulted and murdered by
other people" There is an appeal to
the Chinese who live beyond the seas,
numbering at least 5000, 900, who are
also daily abused and insulted by
these among whom they live, and the
whole is concluded by fierce denun-
citation of the dowager empress and
the incompetent government at Pekin.

are unwittingly directed against the
Americans as well as the Europeans.
Owing TO this fact the United States
government has had to unite with the
Eupopean powers in taking measures
TO secure the safety Of the persons and
property of American cit zens. Secre-
tary Hays notification to the Europe
an powers amounts to a werning that
America will not aid the Europeans IN
coercing the natives within the Euro
pean spheres of influence into subju-
CATION 10 foreign rule.
The American note also conveys in
unmistakable language that this Rov>
ernment will loco with disfavor on an
attempt to dismember China. 1t fur
ther declares in favor Of the doctrine
of China for the Chinese" Evident
ly the United States intends to insist
on the maintenance Of American and
other treaties with the Chinese gcv-
ernment and on the so-called "open
door" policy.
Undoubtedly the position taken by
the United States will tend to check
the rapacity CT the European powers
in China, and at the same time, so far
as such result can be attained, it
will tend to allay the uneasiness of
the Chinese people.

LNDIANAs vOrE THIS YEAR.

As one of the reasons why the Re-
publicans should make every effort to
carry New York state for Mckinley
y this fall the New York Press argues
that the Republicans can entertain but
little hope of carrying Indiana, and
that II Indiana is lost it will be abso-
lutel necessary to carry New York in
order to win.
Many Republican newspapers have
confidently put Indiana down in the
Republican columns without consider
ing the present condition of affairs in
that state or giving any thought to
Indians record in former presidential
years. Taking everything into coz
sideration The New York Press can
didly admits that the prospect of
wheeling Indiana into the Repu blican
column this year is comparatively
slight, and that unless most Of the
indications fail the vote of that state
will be given to Bryan.
In this connection the New York
paper cites the fact that in each alter
nate presidential year the vote Of In
diana has been cast in the Democratic
column and that nnder the plan of al
ternation which that state has mys-
teriousy observed in former years, it is
now her turn to vote for Bryan. Here
is the tabulated statement which the
New York paper makes in suppor of
this observations

this observation:

Closely examining the above table.
1T will be found that Indiana's vote
was changed from 90, SIS plurality for
Grant in 1872 to 5,1l5 plurality for
Tilden in 1876, Eight years later her
vote was changed from 6,64l plurality
for Garfield In 1850 to 6,572 plurality
for Cleveland in 1854. In 1858 she
voted for Harrison, but though Har-
rison was her. favorite son she gave
him only 2,3s4 votes over Cleveland !;
and in 1892, when it came her turn to
vo,ethe Democratic ticket, she turned
her favorite son down, giving Cleve-
ard 7,l25 votes over Harrison. Of
course, in order to cast her vote for
Bryan this year, she will have to over.

votes for Mckinley in 1896, but this
wi net require as great an effort as it
took in 1876, when she overcsme her
Republican plurality of 22.5l5 for
Grant and gave 5,5l5 plurality for Til
den.
After admitting that there is com
Z paratively little consolation in the dis
closures which the above table makes,
the New York Press continues
Where, then, is there consolation?
We are told by some of the party man
ayers that il is 10 be found in the fact
that in recent years the manufacturing
industries Of Indiana have largely in
creased, and that these have added
many thousand votes to the Republi-
can party. Let US see about that,
From 1872 10 1890 the Republican vote
increased from 1861 70 2l4,3O2, or
2s, 900. The Democratic vote increased
from l63, ,G33 70 233, ssl, or 70 600. We
take the period up 10 1890 because in
that year the Populist party began TO
show considera BILE sire myth in Indiana
In 1890 it was II, 1854; in 1892 22,20s
and in 1894, 29.3ss. How much bigger
il got to be we do not know, for in SEQ
it joired forces with the Bryan Dem
ocrsts and is still acting with them.

shown by the Bryan vote Ct 3O5. 572 in

1896 was 67, 600 larger than the Demo
cratic presidential vote ia 1892 when,

Not much conso alton is that, either.
The question is, how many of the
gold Democrats who broke away from
their party in SOC TO vote for McKin

Indiana this year as they are doing
everywhere else? Quite a lot of them

nary jump from $3.50 votes in 1892

such things, but we say very frankly
that we do not like the Indiana posi-

Without undertaking to forecast the
result in Indiana it is clearly evident
that the claims which many Of the Re-
publican organs are making to the eff

for Mckinley this year is not founded
on sufficient warrant; and to say the
least there are fighting chances for
the Democrats in Indiana this year.

THE CHINESE ARMY-WHAr 1T IS

New York World: The main force
of the empire is that of the Eight
Banners 1t is Manchurian, com
manded by Manchu princes, 1t garri-
sops the great cities. Nomiually it is
300, GOO strong, but really it always
numbers fewer than 200, OOO and is
generally under 100, 600.
Besides the Eight Banners" is the
Ying Ping or national army, or Green
Flags. This army is composed of pro
vincial forces. each force under the
command of the viceroy of the pro.
vince, 1t is almost worthless. The
great CORPS of this army is that which
is facing the powers-the Tientsin
army corps. II IS nominally 100000
strong; in reality it has about $4,000
men
The only force which Lord Charles
Beresford met in 1898, which was at
all in an efficient state was that Of
Gen. Yuan Shi Kai, who had some
7,40O Shsntung men. 1t is reported
that this general promises to cooper
ate against Tuan. His troops were
armed with Mausers and lances. But
the artillery Of this e lite force YVES in
such condition that when at the re-
quest of Lord Charles, it galloped ov-
er some rough ground, the carr ages
fell to pieces.
Another force near Pek'n is that of
Gen. Tung Flu Chan, which consists of
a mob of ruffiars from Kansuh, a pro-
vince in the northwest on the border
of Thibtt. There is no doubt as to
the sympathies Of these men. Two
years ago they manifested their dispo-
sition by attacking and nearly killing
two English railway engineers.
Lord Charles counted fourteen diff
rent kinds of arms In the hands Of
the Chinese troops, ranging from
bows and arrows, old Tower muskets
and Gingal through Ensfeld and Rem
ingtons to Martins Henrys and Maui
sers A Gingal is place nine or ten
feet long which rests on the shoulders
of two men and fred by third
war with China does not, therefore,
present serious military problem,
yet the slaughter will probably be
terrible. What is chiefly 10 be dread
ed are the consequences which may
flow from H. In the mean time the
isolated foreigner is in danger from
the mob, half civilian ruffian and half
military ruffian.
The population of Pechila, in which
Pekin Is situated, is about rs 600, 900.

New YORK World: American citizens
in China are certainly entitled to the
protector of their government, but if
a war is necessary to defend them con
gress alone has power to declare it.
To order a considerable military and
naval force to China, in ignorance of
the actual facts, and to act in conjunc-
ton with those grabbing empires,
Great Britain and Russia, is a stretch
of the executive power that would have
startled the country few years ago.
Has familiarity with imperialistic acts
really deadened the sensibilities of the
American people to invasions of the
constitution and the usurpation of
authority by the president?
