A GOVERNMENT NIL1rASr.

The history OF the United States
under Mr.. McKinley's administration
has developed a condition at war with
all the principles that lie at the foun-
da;ion OF a republic. and menacing
their overthrow, threaten the de-
struc.ion OF the peoples government
and the estat lishment Of a power in-
dependent OF it.
The condition alluded to springs
ont Of the necessity for a vast armed
force to maintain not the autonomy
oi the government, but some farcied
requirement essential TO the eXpan-
SIGN and preservation OF certain fan.
ciel commercial advantages, assumed
10 be necessary to the welfare of the
public. In u non producing country
like tlint OF Great Britain, confined
to its restricted ipsular territory there
may be some sasou for converting
the government iEto n vast. irrestis,-
ible military force. for the inability to
control the worlds trade would mean
the destruction of its commerce ami
the nnpihilation OF it's enormous
wealth. But even in that ease the
very efforts made to maintain its sup
possd commercial advantages are
sowing seeds destructive to It's ma
tional existence and bringing about
the identical ruin that its warlike
power was created to avert. AS to
the eventual certainty OF this We have
the testimony Of that expert tinancier
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, who de.
clares: -rhe expenditure OF the
country is growing at IN enormously
dangerous rate. II we go on as we
are going there may be very bad
times in store for the country, partic-
ularIy for the working classes"
When, however. we come to- vast
producing country like the United
States. il Is nothing but madness to
bring about a similar condition by
pretending that we, who are the larg-
est producing nation III the world, re-
quire a vast expenditure to maintain
the position OF n warlike. worlds pow
er, when all the world is the willing
market for orr enormous products.
1t is putting "A producing nation in
the power Of tho nnn-producing, for
when the time OF her despair shall
have come, as prophesied by Sir
Hicks-Beach, she will not hesitate to
turn her stupendous military and ma
aal forces against us as obstacles i'll
the way of her prosperity. With that
time will also come our time Of do
spair, for the nations Of the earth will
look upon us with cold indifference

grasping after the wealth OF the world

Ii Hung Chang Says They Are True
to the Royal House Their Move.
Inent Chiefly Against Native Chris

Berlin, August 6.-The Lokal An
zeiger publishes an interview which DR..
Zaker, it's special China correspondent,
had with Ii Hung Chang at Canton,
July 5th. Earl Il told the correspondent
that the Boxers were not rebels, but
true to the royal house. Their move
ment, he explained, was directed chiefly
against native Christians, who had
been using international protection to
Cypress Boxers.
With reference to the missionaries, he
said:
1T is my firm conviction that the
missionaries are always in danger, for
their relations between the Chinese
population and foreigners have been
the cause Of nearly all the troubles and
will always continue to be-
Earl Ii went on to say that Chinese
hatred Of foreigners had been increased
Of late through the action Of the pow
ers, particularly in the seizure of kiao
Chou, which he described as IAN eX-
orbitant penalty for couple of mis-
siOnaries."
Referring to the murder of Baron
Won Ketteler, German Minister at
Pekinr he gave a positive assurance
tnat nellner frlnCe Iudn nor any olHeI
member of the government knew of the
intended killing, and he also declared
that Baron Won Ketteler was not kill
ed because he was German, but
simply because he was a foreigner. In
a word, he was a victim Of the Chinese
hatred of foreigners.
THE Chinese Government is not
strong enough to put down the Box
ers,' said Earl Ii, but the thought of
accepting assistance from the Powers
to put them down Is extremely repug-
nant to the government"
In reply to a question as to who
was the head of the central govern
ment, he said it was administered by

President Isaac Lewis of Sabina, Ohio,
is highly respected all through that
section. He has lived in Clinton Co.
IS years, and has been president of
the Sabina Bank 20 years. He gladly
testifies to the merit of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, and what he says is worthy
attention. All brain workers find
hoods Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted
to their needs. 1t makes pure, rich,
red blood, and from this comes nerve,
mental, bodily and digestive strength.

rilla is very good medicine, especially
as blood purifier. 1t has done me good
many times. For several years suffered
