ton would have US believe, there is
no reason why twelve or fifteen
thousand men could not be sent
from there to service in China. ]
think that would be Americas fair
quota of tho international force for
the relief of Pekin, and beyond the
protection of American life and
property, this country has no bus
mess to interfere with the affairs of
the Chinese empire American sol.
diers should never form part OF
an army for the conquest of China.
The European powers have sowed
the wind and are now reaping the
whirlwind. They have been look
ing for trouble in China for a long
time, and now they have 1t. The
fire they have kindled is a hot one,
and this government should look
we'll to it that American troops are
not used as eatspaw for the pull
ing out of European chestnuts."
Secretary Root now says that the
administration hopes to hand Cuba
over to the Cubans within the next
eight or ten months, but there are
still men who believe that the islanG
will have string to it when it is
turned over to the Cubans, and
that secret schemes for annexation
are being worked and encouraged
by the administration for the pur.
pose Of making it appear when the
time is ripe, that the demand for
annexation comes from the Cubans.
Gen. Wood had very little to say
about annexation when he was in
Washington last week, and that liz
tie was not important, although he
was cornered by one newspaper
man and made to acknowledge that
he believed a large majority Of Gu
bans now favored an independent
government, rather than annexa.
ton. The administration knows
that its attitude towards Cuba is
being closely watched by the peo-
pie, and that any act which even
seems to imply that good faith
would not be kept with the Cubans,
would make thousands Of anti-Mc
Kinley votes. II there is to be any
trickery, it will be carefully con-
cealed until after election.
1t seems to be little early IN
the campaign for Boss Hanna's
henchmen TO bo putting out fakes,
but all the same they are going IT..
Several men known to be close to
Hanna have been fllling up Wash
ington newspaper men with stories
about how worried the "old man"
was because Of the refusal Of some
OF the heaviest contributors 10 his
campaign fund four years ago to
give a cent this year, and Of his fear
that the National Committee would
have to skimp its campaign plane
for lack Of money. The object Of
these stories is to create the mpres.
sion among the democrats that the
republicans are going to be short
OF campaign money this year. 1t
is, Of course, absolute tommyrot.
Hanna spent IS, 600, 600 four years
ago, aud he expects to spend quite
as much or more this year, and he
knows just where to 90 to get it,
II bis victims do not come down
without squeezing, he knows exact.
ly how hard to squeeze them to get
what he wants. lie must think the
democrats are easily gulled indeed,
IL he thinks il possible to make them
believe that the favored trusts which
have proGted so largely by Hanna
legislation, will allow the Hanna
Committee to lack money to buy
another election. NIyIs.

On Monday, July 10th, 1900 the re.
mains Of MRS ELIZABETH Frances
PALMER, relict Of Captain John Palmer,
Of the Seventh district, were laid to rest
beside those of her husband in All Saints
graveyard
The large number of persons who came
through the heat and dust and mingled
their tears with those OF her sons and
daughters by her gravesde was touch
ing proof OF the esteem and affection
felt for her in the community in which
she resided.
She was sixty years OF age and the
mother OF seventeen children, ten Of
whom are living: Samuel u. F., John
William, Edward, Charles, Larry, DR.. r.
", Harry Deminue, Richard Miles, Mel
lie Lee, Frances Laura and Lily Dent
Palmer.
Mrs. Palmer was an active member of
the Protestant Episcopal Church aud
was for fifteen years vice president of
Aid Society Of All Saints Church She
was woman who sought no reward for
good works but quietly pursued her gen
tie course soothing those who suffered,
quoting the distressed, carrying sun
shine where darkness lowered, and dis.

cross, she bore without a murmur.
As daughter she was fond and dutiful;
as wife she was loving and true. AS
parent her sway had the force OF pow
erful despot yet it was welded with a
gentleness that was a marvel Of woman's
power. AS Christian her faith never
faltered and as friend she was unset
fish and true. With all those who knew
her best the verdict will be the same
She was woman true to the instincts
of her sex-worthy Of emulation.
A FRIEND.
