Washington. Especial Minister Conger,
at Pekin, reports TO the state Department
that the arrival Of $50 guards for the lega
tions of Russia, France. Great Britain, Italy,
Japan and the United States has had the
effect Of improving tho situation. He says
that Pekin is much quieter. but that the Box
ers are still active in the surrounding coun
try.
II Is hinted in diplomatic circles here that
the sudden increase Of activity on the part
Of the Boxers is nothing more than part OF
well-conceived plan by one OF the great
European powers to secure a permanent
lodgment in Pekin. and to seize position
giving II full control OF the great Pei-Hc
River, the approach 10 the Chinese capital.
II is further minated that the plan has
proved abortive, owing to the alertness o.
the other European powers represented in
Chinese waters. but particularly to the read
iness OF the United States Minister, Mr.. Con
ger, and the American Rear Admiral on
board the Newark, which at once gave the
movement an undesired international aspect,
and so tended TO prevent the particular ma.
tion concerned from aggrandzing itself al
the expense OF the interests OF the other ma.
tions. Therefore, 1t is assumed that the ex'
element will rapidly abate aud the Boxers
will disperse, temporarily, at least.

THE gold Democrats who are OPP
posed to Bryan are, Of course, behind
the Dewey movement but this fact
need not disturb any one. The Dem
ocratic party is great enough to have

dates for its nomination. The con-
vention will decide and if, as now
seems probable, it decides in favor of
Bryan, the other candidates will loyal
ly bow to its decisions. Admiral
Dewey, let us hope, is too honest a
man to attempt to secure the nomina-
ton at Kansas City unless he intends
to support the nominee OF the conven-
ton there. And if he should be
named for the Vice Presidency, and
should accept. everybody would be

WELL the palm must be yielded to
Brother White-the "wheel-horse."
He can see further through mill
stone than many people have ever
thought he could, and it must be con-
coded that he can smell the odor OF

people who have been regarded as pro-
fessional camp-followers. To depend
upon such vague uncertainty as
death or resignation, to bring about
conditions that may result in crafty.

THE United States now has parcel
post arrangements with most of the
countries of the world, but the express
companies have so far had sufficient
influence to prevent the extension OF
the system to the United States. In
this respect the foreign nations have
greater privileges with the United
States than its own citizens have with
in their territory. The Postoffice De.
partment claims that it cannot COM
pete with the express companies with
out great loss, but it seems oblivious
of the fact that the government, in
establishing mail rates on third and
fourth class matter, may fix the rate
at that which the express companies
pay for like service.

i" Medical Ethics"

The Elma Chronicle and the Aber-
deem Herald have got into quarrel
over the fact that one of those papers
publishes a big advertisement OF DIR.
Darrin and his wonderful cures. The
other paper, the Chronicle, insists that
DIR. Darrin's manner of advertising is
not in accord with e the rules OF med
ical ethics" but it is not at all uncer-
tain that DIR. Darrin could have in
vaded the Chronicles advertising
space at the same rates paid its con-

any paper can be so inconslderate as
to extend the profession a quasi-en-
dorsement of "the rules OF medical
ethics" when if the same policy were
observed by other trades and profess
sions, the modern newspaper would
not now exist, or would speedily be-
come a thing OF the past. That it is
the pocket, rather than the head,
which has established those "rules OF
medical ethics" is attested by the
willing legs so frequently brought
into play to run down some reporter
for a half-column free account Of
some operation that has been per-
formed by these self-same "ethical"
medicos. Observation teaches that

WONDERFUL BoER VIcToRIEs.-An
account of the battle fought by Com.
mandant DeWet, near Koonstad on
the 9Th inst, reads somewhat like the
account of the naval victories by our
nation at Manila and Santiago. 1t
states that DeWet attacked force oil
1000 British, who lost 600 men in
killed and wounded. DeWet then
took 900 prisoners. This leaves but
500 of the English forces who escaped
to Bloemiontein. The Beers loss was
five killed and nine wounded. This
was but one of succession of victories,
with 1900 prisoners in a single week,
and it wipes out the British prestige
gained by Cronje's surrender and the
effect of Joubert's death. If the claim
that the American victories with so
small loss or damage was providential,
might it not be we'll to consider wheth-
er the Great Arbitor may not sympa-
thize at times with the poor Beers
who are fighting for just the object we
have always considered right!
