A sUPPOSITITIOUS EMPEROR.

The grave crisis which now prevails In China
could have no happier solution than that indi-
Ted in the alleged message Of the Emperor to
the peoples Of the civilized world Nothing
could well be more welcome than an assurance
Of the authenticity of that document and a
demonstration Of the practica bilty of its
scheme. Unhappiy neither Of these is forth
coming. The world has had little reason to
regard the puppet Emperor of China as free 10
set forth his views IN proclamations or inter-
views. Nor does it appear quite clear how a
former tutor, who a couple Of years ago was
dismissed from the Imperial presence under
pain OF death, has now become the Imperial
confidant and mouthpiece. 1t may well be that
be or some other enlightened Mandarin per-
sonally has the opinions expressed, and that he
thinks the Emperor also has them, or would.
could or should have them
The one thing that can, however be said
unhesitatingly is that the scheme outlined in the
message" is about the best il would be possible
TO devise. We have hitherto remarked upon
the appalling task any Power would have in
hand that undertook to rule China as a con
quered province and the scarcely less difficult
ties in the way Of ruling it piecemeal if it were
partitioned among the Powers. The Emperor is
represented 10 have said that million soldiers
and centuries Of time would be needed. and the
be glad 10 believe with him that no Power
seriously contemplates the ACKNOWLEDGMENT or
the conquest OF China, with all that il involves;
but unfortunately evidence of such contempla-
ton is only too patent and convincing. Ger
tainly IT would be incomparably better to leave
the empire in its integrity. 10 put d competent
native Emperor upon the throne to sustain him
there and 10 guide him and his Ministers and
people into the better ways Of government and
civilization which Japan has found and which
other nations have long enjoyed
The scheme is, however. probably as imprac-
tcabie as IL is In theory admirable There is
as we have intimated too little credence 10 he
placed in its authenticity. As an utterance of
the Emperor ii would command the widest and
most earnest attention As the utterance Of an
exiled tutor its interest is scarcely even sca
demic. But in any case there is no hone NJ f,s
actual adoption by the Powers Not the VOL
fare of China, but their own hands is what tbay
are playing for No supposititious message from
a supposiutious Emperor is likely to restrain
them. Neither, apparently, will the tremendous
di1icuities which loom up beyond any conquest
or ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the empire There is a
lust for land well for gold that makes
nations blind and deaf 10 all beside II will
depend upon China herself TO determine her
own tate If she can and will suppress the
Boxers and restore order she may for a time

doom is close at hand. For Russian army ar

In 1896 Mr. Plat arrayed himself against Mr..
Mckinley. calling him the ''mortgaged candi-
date" declaring that he had acted in every
situation not from settled principles and con-
'victions, but in accordance with what he con-
"sidered at the time TO be popular" and predict
ing that If nominated he would excite the "ap-
prehension and disgust" of the country. New
York falsified Mr.. Platt's predictions by giving
Mr.. Mckinley 26S. 900 plurality The candidate
for Governor, representing Plat Repubicanism.
benefited largely from this tidal wave, yet ran
$4,000 behind Mr.. Mckinley.
The next year the people of NewYork City
wanted a non-partsan Mayor, and, though that
was in accord with Republican principles, Mr.
Platt took his stand on the declaration. Better
"a Tammany Mayor than a Mayor responsible
ito no party" He drew off minority of 100, 000
from the 100000 anti-Tammany voters, and
gave this city over to be plundered by Croker.
At the same time by his conduct he dissipated
the splendid Republican maJorities resulting
from issues not Of his making and elected the
Democratic State ticket by $4,000 plurality.
The new military prestige of Theodore Roose
welt and his former popularity with indepen-
dents and Civil Service reformers alone saved
the State, weary of Plattism, by the narrow
majority Of 1000 in 1895 Yet Mr.. Plat has
ever since been trying TO cover Governor Roose
welt with his own unpopularity and lead him to
actions certain to ALLEVIATE independent voters
from the Governor personally and from the
Republican party. Rather than see free party
held in popular respect he is willing to injure
IFS chances Of victory, believing that in defeat
he can control its machinery and patronage.
Happily the Republican party of New-York is
greater than Mr. Platts machine, and Republi-
cans will vote for their principles in spite of
him. But their evident tendency to repudiate
ticket which stands only for him should not be
forgotten by Republicans In other States. He
does not represent popular sentiment In New
York, and difference to his selfish schemes is

toral votes of the Empire State NEWCOMERS

Invitations to the Boer to come to America are

but he has territory enough at home. Great
Britain will not carry away any of 1t, but will
encourage him to resume his work on It. His
property rights will be under a safer guarantee
than ever. and he will have better markets than
before, and an equally secure protection in all
his social and political rights. There IS rea-
son why he should emigrate, and, in point of
fact the mass of the people have not the slight
est intention of doing so. They like their South

prosperous in them than ever. none the less so

and others all possible injury, but
with strenuous purpose to be an in
strument in the uplifting of man
kind; to make of himself all that his
strength of mind and body would per-
nit, and McSwatt was ashamed to
think of how little for good, how
much for evil he, with his vigorous in
tellect and his strong physique, had
accomplished. He was ashamed to
think that he had not been satisfied
with wasting his own opportunities,
but had almos: robbed fellow being,
one so much weaker than himself, of
his meager powers to do.
The Friday evenings issue of the
bulletin reported that Edwin Cassells
was very low, that he had failed rap
idly since morning, and that his pa
rents in the far west had been tele-
graphed.
McSwatt was playing a listless game
of billiards when the news reached
him. He Immediately put his cue in
the rack, paid for the game and ex-
cused himself from his companions on
the grounds of illness. What he real
ly wanted was moment for reflec-
ton. He walked down past the IL
brary building and the few houses,
across the bridge and far into the
open country beyond.
That night and for many nights
that followed, the sufferer had new
watcher, one who cared for him with
a patience and tenderness that cooled
the fever, and, in time, turned the
tide of disease in the sick lads favor,
and when unmistakable conyalescence
had begun, the watcher placed the
last few dollars that he possessed in
the doctors hand and went away az
he had come quietly and without ex-
PLANTATION. The watcher was McSwatt.

later for his implication. in the has-
