Here's Your Trust.

st. Louis Republic
Missouri knows something about trusts.
The Globe-Demoerat would better keep
silence about al least one which is better
known here than elsewhere.
The Globe-Democrat asks the people to
thank the Republican party for high
prices in the lead market
Is it not the truth that the price of lead
in this country is controlled by the Lead
Trust? Is it not the truth that the trust
forced the price down from $4.25 to $3.50
in order to close the Pittsburg Smelling
Company: and then forced the price back
to $4.25, and finally dropped it back to
$780, though the price in London remain
ed steady through the whole transaction
Could there be a better illustration of a
Republican traiff-made trust? The price
in London higher than for years, shows
that the Republican party has not done
anything to help the market. The power
of the trust, it's fixing the market, its
crushing out rivals, its arbitrary dealing
with mine owners and its contempt of the
public are just what the Republican party
is bringing the country to; just what the
Democratic party is trying to save the
country from.

Ing obstacle to the conquering of the ter
ritory of that nation. The popular esti-
mate of its population places it at 10000
600. There are no statistics in the case,
but this Is probably not far out of the
way. To kill of million or two of Chi
namen is hardly to make any perceptible
impression upon the full amount. This In
itself shows how idle is the reliance upon
their being slaughtered 1t Is to be hoped
that the war can be ended with not much
bloodshed. If those who have engaged in
the killing of the foreigners can be found,
retributien should be visited upon them
not in kind. for this is impossible, but in
manner that shall strike terror to the
hearts of those engaged with them. We
do not see that there is a necessity for a
conquering of the country province by
province in field operations later. The
Chinese are not military nation. and If
the allies make a Judgement in their cap
ital, it is probable that their resistance
will not be very much prolonged. They
are not by nature guerilla fighters, as are
their Asiatic brethren in the Philippines.

forces of the world will be against them

THE NEWS FROM CHINA.

The trouble with the news from
China is, you can't believe a word of
it, so far as the actual situation of af-
fairs is concerned as the information
comes from Chinese sources. At Wash
ington they have been greatly impress
ed with the truth of the telegram al
legged to have come from Minister Con-
ger The Cabinets of Europe have de-
clined to take any stock in it, and
thus look askance upon the policy we
have built up upon the presumption
that there is still an Imperial govern
ment disposed to do what is right as
soon as it has disposed of a rebellion.
If our premises were well founded. our
policy was, perhaps. the best which
could have been devised. But if too
much has been taken for granted and
the news said to have come from Pc
kin was simply a Chinese fraud, con-
ceived and carried out for the purpose
of gaining time, or throwing a further
dallying with the nations until such
moment as would warrant throwing off
the mask, then it doesn't fit the case
at all, and sterner measures will have
TO be substituted. The Chinese insist
that the ministers, except in the case
Of Germany, are safe, that they are I'M
der governmental protection, and in
due time will be accounted for. That
which pretends to be the Imperial gov
eminent even goes TO the limit of I'M
dertaking to convey messages back
and forth, of which the Conger tele-
gram, undated, it will be remembered,
: was sample. If the Ministers are
alive and the Chinese Imperial gov
eminent can communicate with them.
why cannot they get messages through
on their own account to their various
governments? This riddle has never
been satisfactorily answered, and it is
fair presumption, in view of all the
known facts, that the representatives
were dead three weeks ago, and that
the Chinese have deliberately concealed
the awful crime. Washington is opti-
mistic, but it must be acknowledged
even there that hope is dwindling.
And even if the legationers are alive
there stands before the world that aw-
full Chinese threat: If the nations do
not Immediately withdraw all foreign
ers from the Empire the representa-
lives must die There's the situation
as it appears to be. If the Ministers
are dead it is too late for anything but
vengeance. II they are alive, an ad-
vance on Pekin means their extermin-
alton. What is to be done? Negoti-
ate? Or fight at all hazards? The
civilized nations appear to be up
against a very tough proposition. no
matter from what point of view it may
be looked at.
4 few days may bring some facts.

affects the safety of the foreign min
listers. it may be said that none of the
powers have evinced any tendency TO
abate their preparations or to accept an
escort OF imperial troops for the minis
tiers from Pekin to Tien Tsin.
This government has acted all the
while on the theory that the ministers
were alive and has accepted in good
faith the assurances of the Chinese gov
eminent to this effect; but ii has not
recognized In any way the suggestion
contained in Sheng's cablegram of yes
terday, that the Chinese government
should furnish the foreigners an es-
cort out of Pekin. 1t was said at the
State Department to-day that the
American minister is not to be deliver
ed up by force of Chinese troops to
the allied forces or to any one else.
This government deems it much more
appropriate, if he needs an escort out of
Pekin, that it should be composed of
American sol~.ers.

General Wheeler.

Boston Herald.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler wants to go to the
scene of military operations in China. 1t
seems a pity that his advanced age is
ligely to be bar to the success of his
application. There is lots of fight in this
griZzled veteran yet He is remembered
as having been serviceable in the war in
Cuba especially in strengthening the pluck
of those about him. We should feel very
much like risking his health further in
active operations. The country certainly
has confidence in him. These later wars
have transformed Gen. Wheeler. He is
remembered in Congress as an active
Democratic politician for a good many
years, always alert for his party and
Industrious and persistent in its service.
Now he cares nothing, apparently. for
politics, unless it be that his sympathes
are on the Republican side. But his
sphere is that of war, and there are not
a few soldiers now living who remember
how effective he was on the Confederate
side in his youth He desires to fight fur
ther, and this time for the nation. and it
would be a justifable act to strain a
point that he may be afforded the oppor-
tunity.
