FRANCIS JOSEPH AT SEVENTY

The seventeen anniversary of the birth of
Kaiser Francis Joseph occurs to-day. The EN-
peror-Ktng has made it known that because Of
his sore bereavements, it will be pleasing to
him to have little public demonstratiVeness
TO mark it, and his wishes will doubtless
be respected by his loyal and affectionate sub
Jects. The vast enthusiasm which would other
wise be publicly expressed will be felt but will
be restrained No doubt the Kaiser will receive
however, innumerable addresses and messages
Of congratulatiOn, none of which may be more
sincere than the sentiments which go out to him
from over the ocean. Time was when detesta-
ticn Of the despOtism which marked the DAYS
Of his accession to the throne, and sympathy
with the Hungarians in their gallant struggle
for liberty, made the name of Francis Joseph
unwelcome to American ears That it is now
far differently regarded is due to the Kaiser
himself, and is in itself high tribute to him.

it were. We may wish this happy deliverance
of the Ministers, and this welcome demonstra-
ton of at least a measure of good faith and
friendly intentions upon the part of the Chinese
Government, could be accepted full settle
ment Of the troubles which have been vexing
the Chinese Empire and grievously straining its
relations with the rest of the world. That, I'M
happily, cannot be. 1t cannot be regarded as
satisfactory state of affairs that the American
Minister should be besieged for weeks, in deadly
peril in the very place where he should be
most secure, and should be rescued from death
only by an arduous military campaign. There
must be full reparatiOn, as full it Is possible
TO make. for what has occurred, and there must
be the amplest possible assurance that such
outrages will not occur again. 1t has been of
happy omen that with all that has occurred
there has been no declaration of war nor sus-
pension of diplomatic relations. Counsel has
not had to be silent amid arms Now that both
arms and counsel are triumphant we may hope
that the former may cease their work and the
confirmation of the results of both be suf1-
ciently effected by the latter. 1t is to be
assumed that the Chinese Government desires
to continue friendly diplomatic relations with
this country In that case its imperative duty
must be as obvious to it as it is to and to all
the world.
There is an ominous report that the Empress
Dowager and Prince Tuan, whom we must
regard as the guilty authors of the troubles,
have fed with their retainers from Picking to
Sin-Gan, or Hsi-An-Fu. the great city amid the
mountains Of Shen-Se which was once the cap
itaI of China. cit will be recalled that in these
columns on Monday last we suggested that they
were probably doing about to do that very
thing) That, If true. will greatly c0mplicate
matters Beyond doubt it would be well and
highly gratifying to lay hands upon those two
arch-criminals and do substantial justice to
them. But it may be question whether that
is 10 be done at the cost of a campaign which
would involve the military conquest of the
whole empire. If the Emperor Kwang Su re-
mains at Picking he viii probably be deemed
the man to treat with and from whom to re
quire indemnity. If he is as well disposed
toward civilization and progress as he has
been represented he will now have the oppor-
tunity of his life to demonstrate the fact But,
as we have said, these matters are for to-mor-
row. For to-day sufficient is the joy Of rescue.
The lost are found. The dead are alive Let
the nations be glad.

MORE THROWING OF EGGS.

We quoted the other day the pious hope OF an
antiimperiaIist at Concord, Mass, that the anti
imperialists would no longer make themselves
appear like an old woman throwing eggs. That
hope appears to have been bIighted at Indianap-
oils by untimely frost, for at the Liberty
Congress" there was an indulgence in egg
throwing on a scale more generous and more
old womanly than ever before.
According to the published reports made
through mediums most friendly to the enter
prise, that was q Liberty Congress" In name
alone. OF liberty of discussion, of speech and
Of thought-save In silence-there was none
There was no recognition of the possibility Of
honest differences Of opinion. Intolerance and
gag rule held triumphant sway. Every man
who ventured to suggest that there might pos
sibly be two sides to the question, that there
were possibly some extenuating circumstances
in President McKinley's case deserving of
thought, or that voting for Mr.. Bryan might not
be the best conceivable course for anti-expan-
sionists to pursue, was incontinentIy insulted
branded as a villain and a knave and hoWled
down. There was obviously no intention on the
part Of the men who were running the
machine that there should be anything like
freedom of discussion or dehberation of judg-
ment in the Liberty Congress-"
OF a truth, the "old woman throwing eggs
was in her finest fettle. And how much she
reminded the observer of the ruffian who used
years ago, to interrupt every discussion of the
slavery question with the demand do you

THE HYPOCRISY or PLATFORMS.

1t is too much, perhaps, to expect the average
party platform maker to live up to the adage
that people who live In glass houses should not
throw stones Certainly the temptation to re-
move the Scrptural mote and overlook the
Scriptural beam is one against which the poseur
and the charlatan in politics are rarely proof.
To saddle ones own pet delinQuences on the
shoulders Of the opposition and then cry aloud
at their enOrmity is a frailty as old as human
nature itself Yet there IS a limit of hypocrisy
beyond which no party leader can go without
exciting a genuine and unmeasured public CON
tempt-even the contempt Of those whom he
confidently classes as of his special political
household.
To this unenviable estate the fortunes Of
politics seem to have brought the Hon. Benja-
min +. Tillman, Of South Carolina one of the
weightiest pillars Of the Bryan Presidential
canvass. 1t Mr. Tilman who took the
leadership of the Bryan forces in the Resolu-
tons Committee at Kansas City last month,
and after an exciting all night fight forced into
the Democratic National platform a new and
specific demand for the free coinage of silver
