The Boston Transcript one of the
strongest newspapers in New England
and undoubtedly the tairest friend the
race has in American Journalism, pays
a merited editorial tribute to our dis
tinguished fellow citizen, Mrs. Mary
Church Terrell. 1t is not necessary
for us to enlarge upon the worth and
the splendid character of this helpful
woman who has made brighter and
better the life of the District of Colum.
bia by her citizenship among us. The
example of her youthful but brilliant
career, and her private and public vir'
tues endear her to the womanhood not
only of the District of Columbia but of
the Republic. She cannot but serve
as 4 striking example worthy Of emu
Iation by the rising womanhood of the

Mr.. MEREDITH IN FAVOR.
He Thinks the Judges Should BE
Elected ny the People.

Elected NY the Peopi".
Mr.. c. V Meredith is most heartily in
favor of changing the Constitution so as
to provide for the election of all Judges
BIZ the votes OF the people. He has al
ways been in favor OF this plan. Under
the present system. he says, the judges
are really not chosen by the Legislature.
and are appointed by the member, or
members OF the General Assembly from
a county or city, or district as the
case may be. Mr.. Meredith thinks it
wouli be far better to have the Governor
make appointments. than TO continue
the present method of making selections.
Before the present Constitution was
adopted, Virginia allowed the people to
elect their judges. and the plan worked
well Nearly all the States give th';
voters the opportunity OF choosing their
juseds, and there is little fault 70 re
found with the system.
Mr.. Meredith's views on this question
are of peculiar interest, as IL is generally
conceded that he will be one OF biefi-
monds representatives in the Constleu-
tional Convention.

WON'T WITHDRAW TROOPS.
They VIII Remain in Pekin Pending
Negotiations.
(EE Associated PrcSS.l


WASHINGTON, August 24.-The question
of the withdrawal Of the United States
forces from Pelin to Tien Tsin, or Taku,
has been seriously considered by the Presi-
dent and his advisers. y great deal OF
pressure has been brought to bear upon
the administration to take this step, but
after mature elaboration it has been de-
termined that the negotiations for the
settlement OF the questions growing out
of the disturbances in China must take
place in the Chinese capital and that while
these negotiations are pending and until
they are completed. it will be necessary
for the United States forces to remain in
the Chinese capital.
While it is recognized that a withdrawal
Of the forces from Pekin might be hailed
with satisfaction in this country, it is
said that the moral effect in China and
upon the Chinese would be bad, and would
be interpreted by the Chinese as re-
treat.
