CHINESE QUESTION.

kwang Hsu, the deposed emperor
Of China, under date of July 20, dis
patched President Mckinley appeal
ing to the United States for Iiplo.
matte aid in restoring order and
peace. The imperial. government,
driven by the irresistible course of
events, originated by the outbreak OF
antipathy on the Christian missions
by the Boxers, has incurred universal
indignation. China now places spe-
cial reliance in the United States.
She recognizes that our interests are
only the protection OF American life
and property in China and establish
ment of international commerce.
The suspicion and distrust with
which the nations have regarded the
imperial government as being favora-
BILE to the Boxers and prejudicial to
foreigners AYERS the emperor is en-
tirely without cause or foundation.
He appeals in sincerity and candid
ness to the friendly relations long es-
tablished with the United States, hop
ing we may devise measures to work
u concert Of the powers to the suspen-
sion OF hostilitics and restoration Of
peace and order. President McKin-
ley was not slow and Immediately
cabled back Il sincere and clever an
swer. He stated that the United
States would do all in her power to be
just and equitable with China under
conditions, namely: To give
public assurance that foreign minis
tiers were alive, and in what condition.
That immediate and free communica-
ton must be established between the
legations and their respective govern
ments. That cooperation with the
relief expedition for the liberation OF
legations be at once secured.
"If these objects are accomplished,
it is the belief OF this government that
no obstacles will be found to exist on
the part OF the powers to an amicable
settlement of all the questions arising
out of the recent troubles"
The dispatch from Minister Conger
that he was safe but in grave danger
on the 18th has partially lifted the
clouds OF doubt that have obscured
China since the opening of hostilities
With the glad tidings that he was
safe and well came the grave knowl-
edge Of his danger and Intellectual at
tempts at rescue. 1t is to be hoped
that the appeal of the emperor and
his assurance of friendship and aid
coupled with the efforts of Ii Hung
Chang, will make speedy advance to
an amicable and thorough settlement
OF the troubles.

However ignorance may have re.
tarded the onward movement of man
in times past, it is certain that, nova.
days, negative forces have become Of
greater Importance. Among these there
is one OF far greater moment than any
other. It.is called organized warfare.
When we consider the millions OF
individuals, often the ablest in mind
and body, the flower OF humanity,
who are compelled to a life OF inactivity
and unproductiveness, the immense
sums of money daily required for the
maintenance of armies and war appar-
atus, representing ever SO much Of
human energy, all the effort uselessly
spent in the production of arms and
implements OF destruction, the loss of
life and the fostering of II barbarous
spirit, we are appalled, at the inesti-
mable loss to mankind which the ex-
istence of these deplorabIe conditions
must involve. Law and order absolute
~ require the maintenance of organ
lied force. No community can exist
and prosper rigid discipline. Every
country must be able to defend itself,
should the necessity arise. The con-
ditions OF to-day are not the result OF
yesterday, and Il radical change can not
be affected tomorrow. If the nations
would at once disarm, it is more than
likely that state of things worse than
war itself would follow. Universal
peace is u beautiful dream, but not at
once realizable. We have seen re-
Gently that even the noble effort of
the man invested with the greatest
worldly power has been virtually with
out effect. And no wonder, for the
establishment OF universal peace is, for
the time being, Il physical impossible

1t has been agreed that newspaper
subscriptions are an Invaluable test of
a mans honesty. They will sooner or
later discover the man. If he is dis
honest he will cheat the printer some
way-declare he has paid when lie has
not--sent money in mail which was
lost--will take the paper and not pay
for it on ground that he never subscrib-
ed for tor move Off and leave it
coming to the Office he left. Thousands
OF alleged Christians are dishonest in

The statute-books record the march
liberalization, proclaiming the increas-
ed richness OF life, and suggesting
opportunities and responsibilities I'M
known even to the preceding genera
ton. Young men OF to-day are apt
to hear about the growing tierceness
OF competition aud the increa sing
difficulties of making a living; but
the student OF progress will lot need
to go far into the past to find an
answer to the argument.

The same stories come from the gold
fields at Cape Nome which came two
years ago from Dawson. Thousands
of people have rushed in there with
the expectation OF amassing fortunes
in gold mining aud have been dissap-
pointed. The conditions are repre-.
scented to be such as to call out all
that is bad in both men and women,
avarice, dishonor, brutality and utter
disregard of truth.

There is little inclination on the
part OF Eastern Washington farmers
to sell their wheat and it is not ex-
pected u general movement to the
coast will be started much before
September or October. The reports of
heavy damage to the Eastern crop and
Che promise of better prices and a
heavy demand from the war in China
have encouraged the farmers to hold
to their crop. AS a result it is expect
ed there will be little selling for sever
al weeks. Eastern buyers will probab-
ly demand share of the Northwest's
crop. The loss Of the grain in the
middle, West will make it impossible
for the mills to secure enough wheat
at home for grinding and buyers will
be in the MARKET in this state, Idaho
and Oregon, Growers predict this will
result in an increase in the price o.
wheat.

POmeroy, county seat OF Garfield
county, had a ninety thousand dol-
lar fire last Wednesday, Among the
losses was the county court house
valued at $4,000. The Washington
independent owned and edited by
Bro. f. w. d. Mays for the past quar-
ter OF century went up in flame, de-
stroying the entire plant costing
$4,000. The burning of the main and
business portion OF that thrifty town
is u heavy blow to Garfield county.
July and August are bad months for
such confagratiops and other cities
may well look to their condition and
lessen in every possible way the dan
ger Of the fiery element which is gem
orally SO prevalent at this time Of
year.

There are many troubles which
You calbnot cure by the Bible and the
bymn9 book said Henry Ward Beech
or, but which You can cure by good
perspiration and breath Of fresh air. I"
Thefe is a large paradox in the pliilos-
opby OF perspiration. The hotter the
healthy human body becomes the
MORE freely it perspires, and yet the
n3ore freely it perspires, the cooler it
grows. Many persons try to keep
tool by avoiding all unnecessary exer-
se and lounging in the shade. That

?, instead Of being 4 symptom Of
'ering from heat, il a relief there

'rsons in normal health that moder-
9 exercise, sufficient to induce lib
Il moistening Of 1.-THE skin, is the best
,ecitic that can be prescribed for
heir daily use in hot weather. None
jnffer more torture on sultry day
than those who make it their specisl
effort to avoid perspiring.
