A controversy that has mildly ragged in the
north over the proper nickname for the
automobile seems likely to be settled now
by the adoption Of the Gtrocity "mobe." :"
At least. that Is the abbreviation most in

be growing more general. "Mobe'' is a

the ground that the empress dowager. real
izing the enormous power and influence of
the Boxer movement. has sought to pla-
cate the leaders by playing a double game
against the foreign powers. The weakness
and uncertainty of the imperial policy
may of course. be due to the disaffection
of the army, which has shown a marked
sympathy with the insurgents.
If indeed the Boxers are bent upon de-
stroying the Manchu power the position OF
the Pekin government IS most deplorable.
On the one side IT is threatened by these
domestic enemies. aided by a largely dis
loyal army. while on the other Russia has
very plainly intimated that If peace be not
restored soon she will intervene, with all
that Intervention means for China; and the
other powers add to the complication, both
by demanding that China restore and as
sure peace and by showing a readiness to
prevent Russian aggression. thus threaten
ing to transform China into a battlefield.

ton would lead the Chinese government

The United States earnestly hopes for
peace in China without disruption of the
empire, but it cannot well take the initia-

an international movement calculated to
restore order and lead to a reorganization
of the empire on a solid basis.

Corrupt Judicial Practices.

A Cuban court official has been detected
in the act of accepting money for promise
to secure a favorable judgment and scan
dalous revelations are promised going to
show that the native Cuban authorities are
by no means uniformly honest in their care
of the public interests. 1t is to be hoped
that this will prove a sporadic case Of dis
honesty and that the Cubans who have
been placed in charge of affairs have gen.
orally acquitted themselves well. 1t would
be deplorable to find conditions developing
in Cuba suggestive Of a general lack Of
conscience accompanying an exposure Of
the frauds in the public administration for
which the Americans are responsible. 1t
is recognized that the Spanish regime was
thoroughly corrupt. 1t was not to be ex-
pected that the Cubans would entertain
the highest notions Of public honesty after
witnessing habitual fraud for generations.
1t was the more necessary for us, upon

public morality that the contrast between

States a most humiliating task. But it is

F. c. Benedict, one of Mr. Cleveland s
closest friends and most ardent admirers.
is a Connecticut democrat who ordinarily
takes an interest in politics, but this year
he is out of it. He deplores the conditions
into which both parties have fallen. Bry-
anism is an abomination in his eyes, and
he regards what he calls Mckinleyism as
being but little better. He expects McKin-
!eyism to win this year, and thinks that
result will. in the long run. be best for the
country. Another drubbing, as he appraises
the situation, will put an end to Organism,

Benedict they also have a leader in mind
for that emergency, although he Is not the
leader that Mr.. Benedict has in his mind.
Mr.. Benedict is figuring on democrat sue
cess, and these republicans on republican
success.
Mr. Cleveland and Thomas B. Reed would
alike appear to be out Of a fair calcula-
ton for the future. The one has made
three races for the presidency and won
two of them. He was the controlling spirit
of his party for twelve years, but he had
but few friends in 1t when he retired from
Office. Mr.. Reed likewise had great infu-
ence with his party for long time, but
very little of it remained when he left Of
flee. In fact, it was because of finding
himself almost wholly out OF touch with
his party on all of the new issues that he
gave up politics for the practice of the law.
Another drubbing may finish Bryanisnl,
and a reorganization of the democracy may
follow But the new lines will not be likely
to lead in Mr.. Cleveland's direction. Nor
is it easy to figure Mr.. Reed as the bene-
fciary of any reorganization of the repub-
lican party at the c,ose of a second term
for Mr.. Mckinley in the White House. Re-
organizations, like revolutions, do not go
backward.

The Boxers and the Manchu Dynasty.
The Boxer movement IN China has de-
veloped so rapidly that there Is a lack Of
precise Information regarding its exact
character. All that Is definitely known is
that the Boxers are radical enemies Of
the foreigners. They first began to show
their animosity a few months ago by kill
ing Chinese converts to Christianity. op-
Grating chiefly in the southern-middle prov
inces- Then they extended their activities
from the converts to the missionaries, and
finally burst forth in a general movement
of murderous antagonism toward all for
eigners. There have been a few attempts
to explain the meaning Of their Anglicised
title. but none has seemed plausible. The
fact would appear to be that these assas-
sins belong to one OF the numerous secret
societies of Chinese, and that their pre-
else organization and the Specification Of
their name are virtually unknown to Eu-
ropeans or Americans. A recent dispatch
states that 1t Is believed there are no less
than four million of these rebels. whose
efforts now are apparently directed toward
oyerpowering the foreign residents, and
who are even menacing the imperial gov
ernment There has been some suggestion
that the Boxers have sworn to drive the
Manchu dynasty from power. but the fee

press them In their earlier operations does

The HOnors of once.

Lieutenant Governor Woodruff's cam
paign for the vice presidential nomination
of his party has not prospered. He could
not very well hope for success without the
active support of New York, and that has
been denied him. AS result there Is talk
now of renominating him for the office he
holds. The suggestion. however, is not
welcome to some of his friends, and one of
them-described as republican state Off
cial-is quoted as follows in an Albany dis
patch which appears in today's New York
Tribune:
"If / were Mr.. Woodruff I would not ac-
cept denomination for lieutenant governor
again, for he has had all the possible
honors obtainable after holding the office
for four years. In my judgment 1t would
be preferable for him to accept a nonina-
tion for congressman, for he would be well
liked in Washington and would gain ma
tional acquaintances, which might be use
full some day.
This Is very foolish talk; but one hears
good deal of 1t in the speculation about
the aspirations and promotions Of public
men. In the case Of one 1t Is said. There
is no honor in that place for him." In the
case Of another 1t Is said, He has obtained
all the honor that place can bestow." Is
the question of personal honor and dis
tinction the only question involved? Is
the question Of public usefulness of no ac-
count in the premises? Shall Mr.. Wood
ruff consider only himself, and not his
party? Did he seek his present office only
for it's honor and distinction? And shall
he turn to Congress only for the reason
that 1t affords a new style of personal dis
tinction? Is Ii to be mere exchange of
toys with him? Does he owe his party
nothing? If 1t sees usefulness in him for
L. -
obey?
Theodore Roosevelt in his career has
contributed something of value this
point. When he accepted a civil service
commssionership it was said that he had
blundered; that there was no honor in the
place for him. But he managed to get
honor out of it, simply by rendering good
public service in 1t. The same thing was
said when he accepted a police commits
sionership in New York. And there was
the same result. He gave up the assistant
secretaryship of the navy to accept a
minor commission in the army. But by
serving the country with vigor and use
fulness in the minor place he was called to
the governorship of the greatest state in
the Union. He is man of great ambition.
and aspires, it is believed, to the highest
office under the government But, SO far,
he has gathered honors only as a reward
for public usefulness. He has grubbed for
all that he has obtained 1t Is the only
safe course for an aspiring man to pursue.

The Bill Board Nuisance.

The bill board nuisance has been carried
to such extent in this city that one can
not escape from involuntary contact with
1t in any way except by plunging into the
large public parks beyond eyeshot of en-
frances or adjacent streets. Its existence
amounts to a defiance of the people in their
desire to enjoy the thing which they have
bought and paid for, and it Is essentially a
colossal impertinence. The fact that we
tolerate 1t is quite much a reflection upon
our municipal self-assertion as upon our
esthetic feelings. and the various park au-
thorites. to whom the public has right to
look for taking the initiative in the matter.
would unquestionably be heartily supported
in well-considered measures to free the
pleasure ways and grounds under their care
from such intrusion. When this, which is
naturally the first step. has been accom-
plished, then others can be taken in due
course.

Another woman has been burned to death
as the result of the use of gasoline for

1t may occur to the municipal authorities
that the loss Of life and property involved
in the use of gasoline IS hardly balanced
by the saving Of money achieved by clean
ing few pairs Of dirty kid gloves or scour-
ing last years underskirts. When that
conclusion is reached the sale of gasoline
