London, July 3l.--Sir Claude Mac
Donad's welcome dispatch, dated Pc
kin, July q, received in cipher, is ae
cepted on all sides as dspelling any
doubts that might still have existed re-
garding the genuineness of the dis
patch. Owing to an error in trans
mission, the messagd fails to show the
number wounded The message fails
to mention the other legations and
other matters of pressing importance
to know, but it should be borne in mind
that the British minister may not be
aware that all his previous dispatches
have been suppressed. He may be
under the impression that the govern
ment is fully posted regarding all the
recent occurrences. Apart from this
dispatch there is practically no fresh
news, although special from rientsn
asserts that the British and American
forces are getting ready to advance
within As hours.
Ii Hang Chang remains at Shanghai.
He says the great heat prevents him
continuing the journey to Pekin. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor Of the
exchequer, explained to parliament
yesterday that the British government
had incurred no financial liability to
Japan for military assistance in China.
The proposed guarantees depended
upon Japan's sending larger number
of troops than she sent, and at an
earlier date, and the offer was not
accepted by the Japanese government.

Mrs Daniel Manning in Paris has

who has married foreign title asked
her to set the day and indicate the
general arrangement for feast TO the
Daughters then in Paris. but Mrs.
Manning declined to act because the

at once disloyal to the order and to the
sacrifice of a whole lot of good Ameri-

HON. CHARLES A. TowNE.

Several Democratic state conventions
have indicated a preference for ex-
Congressman Towne as Bryans run
ming mate in this campaign. The
Michigan Democracy was particularly
outspoken, but Of course every refer
ence to this matter has been in the
form Of a suggestion. The Peoples
party took a more decided stand and
nominated Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. TOwne,
although neither gentleSaen is a mem
Der of the Peoples parts. This was a
compliment 20 both, as well as an as
surance of the support OF bimetallists
IN every. party organization.
MIR. Bryan is the undisputed leader
Of the Democratic party. His leader
ship is universally acknowledged. Mr..
Towne is the official head of me silver
Republican organization of the nation.
He is chairman of the Lincoln Republi-
can party.
Mr.. Bryan's nomination for the pres
idency has been conceded for months.
The people named him as their stand
ard bearer long ago. It has only re-
manned for the various conventions TO
meet ana ratify the will and wish Of
the people.
Mr.. Towne is a strong man, and
stands especially well with the Repub-
licans of the south and west. He left
the Republican convention in 1886 and
gave his support to Bryan. In the
house of representatives he was an
able advocate Of the silver cause.
This is a strong ticket and whether
the Democratic convention at Kansas
Ciry ratifies the selection Of Mr.. Towne
or not, il viii nominate Mr.. Bryan and
the mixed tickets Ct 1886 may be re-
peated this year. But the result will
be an increased vote for Mr.. Bryan, no
matter how it is arranged.

TRUSTS AS AN ISSUE.

Trusts are denounced by Republi
can conventions as strongly as they
are denounced by Democratic conven-
tons" says Senator Foraker of the
Buckeye state.
The people are not to be put off with
mere denunciation. They want a
promise to remove the cause, TO enforce
the law. to protect them from the ex-
tOrtiOn of these combines in restraint
of trade, organized for the express pur-
pose OF controlling the market and put
ting up prices to American consumers.
Trusts do not care how much they
are denounced by President Mckinley
or his party, so long as the president
keeps in office an attorney general who
refuses to enforce the law against
trusts and so long as the adnJinistra-
ton is absolutely controlled by a trust
magnate.
But the trusts are willing 70 con-
tribute S90, 600, 600, if necessary, to keep
a president from being elected who will
make an effort to enforce the law and
protect the people from this growing
Ell. They contributed before. Repub-
lican authorities disagree as to the
amount it cost the money power to
elect Mckinley, the figures being all the
way from 81, 600, 600 to $50, OO0, OO0 Han
ma publicly admits the payment of
$1,000 600 for what he deemed '1egiti-
mate expenses meaning printing and
speakers John Sherman said that ne
understood it was s.. COO, 600. Grosvenor
puts it at S15,OOO,OO and declares it
will cost at least $25, 900 to rs-eIect
the trust candidate for the presidency.
But whatever the sum required, it
will come from the trusts. combines
and money power in general, who con-
sequently have no fears of any dsnun-
citation they receive from the Repubn-
can party.
There is a test, however, which those
who incline to the Republican orga MIA
ton may put upon the sincerity 0f its
declarations of hostility to trusts:
Will the Republican party repeal or
suspend during the existence of a
trust or other monopoly all tariff duties
upon the articles made and controlled
by such monopoly?
Republican newspapers admit this 70
be the only solution Of the trust 0ues-
ton, but viii the party make such a
pledge?

ncunce today what they had advocated
yesterday. Hanna knows tricks that
Pharaoh never lived to learn He has
out-Heroded Herod. He has led his
orchestra while the institutions of the
republic have burned. He has wrapped
the flag around rascally contractors
and corrupt politicians and dared the
American public - criticise their in
fanny. He has defied every rule of de-
eency in political conduct and tram
pied upon the constitution with con-
tempt. And still his party, cheered on
by henchmen, gorged with pie and pat
ronage, follows on in his footsteps,
needless alike Of his purpose and des-
tination.
Hanna has made history. He has in
duced his followers to seorn the funda-
mental law of this republic and to re-
gard its founders with contempt. He
has taught his new school Of states
manship to consider the constitution "a
piece Of yellow paper"
The Indianapolis Sentinel describes
the changes and the history made by
the trust magnate of Cleveland, o.,
who was selected for the purpose by
the bankers Of London aud New York:
"Once upon a time," says the Senti-
mel, 1--WE had traditicns-we have the
Philippines We had a republic-we
have almost thrown off such swaddling
clothes for the glitteTing garments of
empire. We declared that govern
ments derive their just power from the
consent Of the governed'-we know bet
ter now. We held taxation without
representation to be tyranny-we have
revised our governmental dictionary.
The farewell address of Washington
was reverenced then-but. heavens, it
is old and musty now. We had repudi-
ated slavery-we now embrace it. We
had denounced wholesale bigamy-we
have, in our Sulu treaty, formed a
coalition. with it now. oh, what queer,
fantastic fancies emanate from youth
so fooHshly poetic like the poetry Of
Ossiani Wen, we have left that por-
ton Of our existence-now for broad
er field. a more dignif1ed plane. Let
the dead past bury its dead. Hip. hip,
hurrah for the empire!"

CRANE DIssEcTs THE MAJOR.

In another part of today's Herald
viii be found an able reputation Of
Major Grants discussion of the Phil
ippine question.
Hon. Charles Crane, the author oe the
communication, is not only Resub-
Iican of longer standing than the ma
jor, but his training has been along
American lines Of thought and duty.
He has always looked at the American
revolution from a very different stand
point from that occupied by Mr.. Grant.
The Masonic question was dragged Anto
this controversy by the major, but Mr..
Crane, who is a Mason Of more mature
experience, r,futes every claim put for
ward by Mr.. Grant
Nor can the major take refuge be-
hind the fact that he is hero. So is
Crane. He put in four years Of fight
ing against a foe superior in every re-
spect to those whom the major has
fought and maligned to the best of his
ability.
Here, then, is the ex-ehairman of the
Republican party Of Utah, a veteran of
the civil war, a Mason and an Amer
lean citizen, who tears to tatters every
argument put forth by Mr.. Grant as
a defense of MeKinley's conquest of
the Philippines.
It makes mighty interesting reading.

regulated BY military authority and
kept orderly. while drunkenness can be
thus guarded against.
officers of the regular army are al
most unanimous in their endorsement
of the canteen system as promoting So
briefly and keeping the drinking men Of
the army under necessary surveillance.
There may be just cause for complaint
against the introduction Of saloons
throughout the Philippines. but there
is nothing in the attitude OF the presi-
dent on this canteen law which justi-
fies the attacks Of the temperance
workers.

cANTEENs IN THE ARMY.

Many temperance people of the east
are waging a war against President
Mckinley for setting aside the anti
canteen law. In several church con-
ferences recently held in the New Eng
land states speakers have received
rounds Of applause for their severe
arraignment of the president and attor-
nev. general or account of their action
in reference to this law.
In the opinion of The Herald this is
uncalled for. The law has been inter
preted by lawyers to mean one thing
and by the advocates Of temperance to
mean another. But. aside from any
technical defense of the presidents po-
sition, the eanteen law as it stands and
the canteen system as it is in vogue in
the army, promote the cause Of tenn
perance even though they make no
pretensions towards the enforcement Of
total abstinence. The canteen system
has had the effect Of driving from the
vicinity of military posts the lowest
kind Of groggeries and doggeries. and

DEwEY's PLATFORM.

It has been said repeatedly that Ad-
mirai Dewey has no platform. This is
a mistake. He recently furnished the
Pittsburg Post the following statement
for publication:
am d Democrat, and that fact should
suggest plainly where 1 stand On the vital
issues Generally speaking my platform
is the American flag and the constitution
Of this glorious country. A strict ad-
herence to the principles represented by
the one and defended by the other.
The flag and the constitution go to-
gether with the admiral He is a
sailor, a hero, an American. a Demo
crat. He believes in defending the flag,
in unfolding the constitution. The flag
merely represents the principles en-
bodied in the constitution. To wave
the flag and ignore the constitution
would be like clinging to the symbol
Of good government while abandoning
its substance.
Admiral Dewey does not pretend to
understand the financial issue or the
trust evil, but ne is all right on the con-
stitution.
He is an American and a Democrat.

Every coal producing state has its
share of mine casualties. In the last
thirty years from 1870 to 1900 the chief
of the Pennsylvania bureau of mining
reports $3.50 lives we're lost in and
about the anthracite mines Of that
state. In the ten years ending with
1900 4.305 lives were lost. The Pittsburg
Post says the mining laws are reducing
the number of accidents in anthracite
mines, and adds: IF to the 1915 killed
in these mines we add probably two
thirds as many killed in the bitu:nin-
Gus mines we see what it costs in hui
man life to mine coal. The MANNED
would exceed the number killed. Killed
and wounded the total number would
be probably not less than $4,000 in thirty
years"

Says the Chicago Inter Ocean: 1--WE
viii not abandon the Monroe doctrine.
We will never surrender the primacy
Of the American continent. We will
continue to defend republican national
tiles and Institutions" But Secretary
Root has pointed out that we have ex-
tended the Monroe doctrine around the
world. Is this the reason we continue
to defend republican nationalities and
institutions in South Africa and
Oceanica? What is a republican insti-
tuition? Consent Of the governed. AS
a matter Of fact, it seems that Senator
Elkins is nearer the administration
when he declares that "the Monroe
doctrine was abandoned the minute we
invaded the eastern hemisphere and an
nounced our intention to remain.

AslATIc COMPETITION.

Japanese immigration continues to
excite the apprehensions of laboring-
men in this country, and no wonder.
Hundreds of these Orientals are COM
ing in on every ship from Asia-some
to take the place of section hands on
the railroads and others to work in the
factories of New England.
It is reported that the japanese are
leaving their country by thousands be-
cause of the danger of q conflict be-
tween that country and Russia. There
is no immediate danger of such war,
however. And yet the general war
which is almost sure to accompany the
spollation of the Chinese empire may
not be far distant, and when it comes
no power repI esented or located in the
Orient will ascape being drawn into
the maelstrom of the strife.
It may be that the Japanese govern
ment senses the approach of such a
crisis and that the people who are
coming away are doing so through fear
of CONSUMPTION.
Ten thousand Japs landed on the Pa
cific coast last month, it is estimated,
and the influx shows no signs of abate-
ment yet They disembark in British
Columbia and make their way across
the border at any place between Van
couver and Nova Scotia to get employ
ment when and where they may.
It seems strange that the New ii
land manufacturers, who have
calling for protection for their !
ers year after year. should encou
other Asiatics by giving employT -
to those already here. And most az
those who have come were contracted
for before they left home, it is al
legged.

HISTORY MADE AND UNMADE.

One Of the speakers at the Repub-
lican state convention the other day
declared that Hanna and Mckinley
had made more history within the last
four years than had been written in all
the centuries past and gone from Adam
down to Glen Miller.
While the speaker was a little wild
IN his utterances, and while he Ger
tainly allowed his enthusiasm the free
use of his mouth on that occasion, it
It nevertheless true that Chairman
Hanna has cut a surprising swath since
he emerged from obseurity four years
ago and went TO st. Louis to enter the
business of practical politics.
As the duly authorized agent of the
money power he took possession Of the
party there represented by a national
convention of delegates, put it up, auc-
toned It of and knocked it down to
William Mckinley. which amounted to
bidding it in for the money power.
Some Of the goods couldn't be deliv-
cred. But the bulk Of the bargain was
turned over and he has been picking up
fragments here end there ever since.
Then he started in to make, or rather
10 unmake history, to remodel the re-
public, to trim down the constitution,
to set up new ideals of government and
TO depart from the traditions and cher
ished principles of the people Of this
country.
In four years he has made changes
which many a Caesar would not have
undertaken. He has accomplished a
transformation IN the party ne runs as
trustee in trust, until its founders
wouldn't know It from a loyal legion"
Of a century and half ago. He has
trained lis followers to apologize for
what the .'rebels" of rs said and did,
to endorse the policies against which
the. coionists Of that time rebelled, to
adopt the very measures the founders
Of this government declared unjust and
tyrannous.

geance? Were ever a free people" so

Republican newspapers make a great
deal of fun Of the Declaration of In
dependence these days. They consider
it an obsolete document. the incoherent
utterances of fogies. They jest about
''the consent of the governed even as
the court fool Of King George is said to
have done. This shows how far they
have strayed from American princi-
pies. It shows how completely Hanna
has weaned Lincoln's followers away
from him. Lincoln said: Let every
American remember that to violate the
Declaration of independence is TO
trample on the blood of his father and
to tear the charter of his own ana his
children's liberty"

The Boston Transcript calls atten-
ton to the slender thread by which the
scales of justice are often suspended.
BY one vote the Bacon resolution plac-
ing all the ex-colonists of Spain on the
same footing was defeated. By one
vote Andrew Johnson's fate was
changed. And now Postmaster Cen
eral Smiths paper says that the defeat
of Quay in the senate was a great tri-
umph for political morality. The
Transcript adds: THAT being true by
a single VOte-by the skin of the teeth
or the toss of a cent, so to speak-the
single vote cast the other way would
have made the whole a great triumph
for political corruption. The situation
does not invite exploitation. Let US
thank God and keep quiet"
