farm or in the factory. and to all who
buy and sell a service so ~far-reaching
that both acts of congress are asso-
ciated with the highest level of bust
ness activity eve before known in the
United States and with the most en-
couraging prospect ever set before a
great industrial community.
The issue of the approaching cleo
ton is whether the questions settled
four years ago shall be reopened and
whether the stable conditions now sur
rounding us are to be again delivered
ever to chance and the guesswork Of
populist politics.
1t is not conceivable that the Mis-
sissippi valley, northward from the
mouth of the Missouri river, which in
1896 supported Mckinley by majorities
equal, according to population, to
those of New York and Pennsylvania,
should fall behind these states now in
the present fight to hold fast what was
won in that election, and to carry for
ward the industrial and commercial
progress of our people.
On these questions there is neither
east O west. The American people
will not forget the real significance of
the resurrection Of Organism, even
though the democratic platform aban-
dons, everything which it professed
yesterday and turns its extravaganza
and fanaticism in a new direction, fill
ing the air with clamors never heard
before.
There is not ingenuity enough even
in the reunited leadership of the party
to create in the minds Of the Ameri-
can people a panic on the subject of
imperialism sufficient to .overbalance
the fear of pauperism which our ma
tional experience unerringly connects
with the success of the democratic
party.

WHO THE BOXERS ARE.

DR.. H. A. Randle, for twenty years
a Baptist missionary in China, gives
the Washington Post some interesting
information regarding the Boxers in
which everyone will be interested at
this time. He says:
1.-The Boxers organized to suppress
the growth of Christianity and to keep
foreigners out of the country. Their
motto is China for the Chinese The
Know Nothings believed they repre-
scented the policies that stood for the
best interests Of their country. The
Boxers are inspired with the same be-
lief.
The correct name for the organiza-
ton is the Society of the Great Sword.
The name signifies that the members
of the organization believe in driving
all foreigners from the country, resort
ing to the sword if need be. The
name Boxer is one of sarcasm, ap-
piled to the organization by foreigners.
1t probably grew out of the fact that
the members warned and threatened
foreigners by shaking their fists. with
the gestures OF an angry man about to
deliver a blow.
THE Boxers organized in western
Shantung about fifteen months ago. It
is a patriotic organization, whose
ov0yy. I r,Irn0co &c RI n,1cf rho foroionor
from China. 1t first took the name
of the Great Sword Society, meaning
thereby that they would use force to
eXpel the so-called barbarian from
their country. The name, however,
has since been changed to the Fist
Fighting Society, which has been
rather sarcastically translated Boxers.
The aggressive action of Germany in
Shantung lat Kiaochow) no doubt had
a large influence in it's formation, and
l believe their first thought was to
fight; or resist, the Germans. Prob
ably, however, they soon recognized
that as task beyond their then early
powers, and they began to threaten
the native Christians and the mission
aries and shortly afterward to attack
them, at first destroying their prop
rrty, with a view to force their recan-
tation. Subsequently they began to
kill the native Catholic christians,
which stirred up their zeal and in
creased their numbers.
1.-The authorities, both local and
central, have done much, though in
directly, to encourage them, and they
doubtless have the countenance of the
Empress Dowager, as well as the SYM
pathy and good wishes of all anti-for-
eign %mandarins and gentry, which GER
tainly include the vast majority of
those influential classes.
The Empress Dowager, a Manchur-
ian Tartar by. birth, was a %concubine
OF the Emperor Hein-fung, who died
n 1864. She had the good fortune,
however. to bear Hein-fung a son, who
became his heir, and reigned under the
name of Tung Chi from 1864 to 1873,
when he died. During that period the
Empress Dowager was regent and
learned to love power. Tung Chi died
without issue, and the boy of four
;ears old, q sen Of Prince Chun, who
was IN turn a younger brother of the

CONGRESSIONAL REAPP0RTIoN-

There is great interest through the
country in the congressional reappor-
tionment, which will be made from the
figures Of population taken from the
present census. At the present time
there is a representative in congress
for about every 100000 Of population.
If this same apportionm cnt prevails
after the new census is taken, the low
er body of congress will grow so much
larger that it will be unwieldly in the
extreme. Many contend that it has
already reached such proportions.
Congressman Hopkins will have the
matter of legislation in this direction
in hand at the short session, and Direc-
tor Merriam says he will have returns
by that time which will be placed in
the hands of Mr.. Hopkins so that
proper legislation may be had with a
basis in absolute census figures. OBJ
lection to a reduction of the number
of representatives by increasing the
apportionment of population will come
from nearly every eastern state. While
such a plan will solve the question in
the west, it is doubtful whether the
east can be brought to submit to it.
Already enough is known of the work
of the enumerators for the announce
ment that the increases in population
will come largely entirely from the
Missouri valley states. Mr.. Hopkins
may present one of two bills, one in
creasing the ratio of representation or
one increasing the membership of the
house by providing for additional
members according to the present ratio
of 10000. Both solutions of the
problem are open to objection.
The membership Of the house is al
ready 3lG, and the hall is crowded al
most to it's limit. Additional seats
can be inserted only by taking up what
little space now remains between the
rail and the cloak rooms, and it will
be very hard under the most favor
able circumstances to find seats for
more than ten or fifteen additional
members. The great bulk of the
house already makes it difficult to
transact business, which difficulty will
be increased with an additional men,
bership. It seems probable that the
number of representatives will be in
creased anywhere from thirty to forty,
and possibly more. To accommodate
this increase, it is more than likely the
house will be remodeled somewhat on
the plan favored by MI. Reed when he
was speaker, or making the hall
smaller by increasing the size Of the
retiring rooms and doing away alto
gether with the desks. The remodel
ing a be done next summer, as the
coming session will end on March 4,
and nine months will elapse before
congress meets again.
Director of the Census Merriam esti-
mates the population this year will
number between 7O,OOO,OOO and 10000
600, the census of 1890 showing 81 500,
$50. Even if the population reached
but 1O,OOO,OOO, at the present ratio,
seats would have to be provided for
thirty or more members:

At last there is a united front in
Grand Forks county, voiced in the fol-
lowing from the Grand Forks Herald,
in commenting upon the result of the
Grand Forks county caucuses: "Yhe
delegates elected are unanimously for
George B. Winship for governor, and
will elect a delegation to the state
convention pledged to use every hon
orable effort to secure his nomination.
Irrespective of any consideration as to
individual canaluates it is a matter
for congratulation that the republicans
OF Grand Forks county have been able
to act in perfect harmony on a matter
so important as the choice of a candi-
date for a place on the state ticket.
The county can go to the state conven-
ton, presenting a united front, with
no contests, no grievances, and no
wounds to be healed. 1t is to be
hoped that a like spirit of harmony
will prevail throughout the campaign
with reference to local as we'll as state
matters"

PROUD OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

PARTY.
For the third time in the history OF
the republican party, says Hon. J. P.
Dolliver, in the Chicago Record, a
president has been lifted up by the
very nature of the duules that have
come upon him above the average level
of the administrative business of an
American chief magistrate. McKin-
ley was elected upon issues which con-
Germ mainly the employment of labor
and the welfare of business. He rep
resented n theory of restoring Amer
lean prosperity and his antagonist an
other. The question in 1896 was to
bring back to the people of the United
States such a measure of prosperity
as would enable them to support their
families in comfort and contentment.
One party proposed to do that by
debasing the standard coin, but cutting
in two the value Of the dollar, and by
setting the country adrift on a sea of
financial experiments, without chart or
compass. In the very nature of the
case, William Mckinley became the de-
fender of the public credit and the ap-
pointed advocate of the integrity and
solvency of American business.
When the campaign was in pro-
gress Mr.. Bryan had a great advantage
over him because ne offered a specific
remedy, warranted to cure, and in this
world, as Mr.. Blaine used to say, a
man has a distinct advantage who
knows what he is going to do next.
On the other hand Mr.. Mckinley had
to deal in argument, to appeal to ex-
perience, to call witness of other ma
lions and to eXhort his countrymen to
bear in patience the ills they had rather
than fly to others that they knew not
of.
And it is recorded in everlasting vim
dlcation of u institutions that the
American people. weary and heavy
laden under the burden of debt, help
less and desperate in their idleness and
poverty, hardly knowing which way to
turn, gave heed to the voice which
spoke from the porch of the little white
cottage at Canton, choosing rather
to suffer affliction with the people who
pay their debts than to enjoy the ques-
tionable advantages OF 16 to 1 for a
season.
The work of the administration, so
far as it relates to our domestic con-
Germs, has been to readjust the customs
laws in such a way as to prevent the
disturbance of American occupation
by the coming in of merchandise from
abroad, the like of which our W peo-
pie are engaged in producing, and to
put the importer and the manufac-
turer upon a basis of fair competition
in our W market place. No compe-
tent student of our practical affairs
can deny that the tariff law of 1897,
which bears the honored name of Gov.
Dngley, has fully accomplished that.
But the republican party has agreed
also to take steps toward giving addi-
tional security to the standard Of
value, which it had been the aim of
the populist campaign of 1896 to over
throw. That also was accomplished
by the act of 1900.
And thus within three years the re-
publican party has rendered to Amer
lean business, to all who labor on the

Tribune, is a complete answer to the
anti-eXpansionist charge that the
clash between the American and Fill
pinos on Feb. ), 1899, was due to AM
erican aggression. Here is undeniable
proof in Aguinaldo's own handwriting
that the Filipinos had for at least a
month been preparing, under cover of
friendly pretenses, to make a murder
III assault upon the Americans.
Aguinaldo's order was addressed to
his valiant bolomen." who were to
Stay all American soldiers in Manila
at a given signal. From the house,
tops they were to hurl down heavy fur
niture and iron implements heated red
hot, and were to throw boiling oil and
water from bamboo syringes. The
bolomen were to u through the
streets, s~lashing and killing Americans
wherever they met them. They were
warned to restrain themselves from
looting, as it was particularly desired
to show the world that the Filipinos
were a cultured and civilized people.
That this savage plot was frustrated
does not alter the significance of the
evidence. The document shows con-
~clusively that hostilities had been
definitely determined upon by the
armed Filipinos and could not be
avoided. The treaty of peace with
Spain had not yet been ratified, so that
the presence of the American soldiers
in the Philippine Islands was a neces-
sary part of the campaign to free Ae
Filipinos from the Spanish yoke.
There had been no time since the ad-
vent of Dewey's fleet when our troops
could be withdrawn, and there has
been no sucn time since the insurgents
attacked their l%iberators. Mr.. Bryan
will find A%guinaldo's massacre order
OF Jan. ., 1899, peculiarly barren of
materials for mis- anti-imperialistic
campaign.
