Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-09-27

Often in the past has Ii Hung Chang
been called on to pacify the foreign
DEVILS" and his work has always been
accomplished with success. But in
the old times the dragons teeth were
not red with the innocent blood of the
white stranger within the gates; the
sanctity Of the embassy was undefled.
The times are new. Ii Hung Chang
has grasped the fact, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser His
eyes have seen the armies and the
fleets of the west.
Fourscore years save three is the
age Of Ii. For five decades has he
filed public Office. He has gained vast
wealth, he has reaped rich rewards,
and honors have fallen thick on him
both at home and abroad. He has
made mistakes, he has committed
crimes, but when all is said and done
he has served China well. Although
in his seventy-eighth year, Ii Hung
Chang carries his age bravely. He is
almost six feet tall, and his face is
strongly nodded and is marked by
broad and deep lines. Resolution and
intelligence are its most distinctive
traits. His mouth is shaded by a thin,
dropping mustache, and struggling
"imperiaW covers the chin.
Like SO many Of the brightest intel
lects Of the age, Ii Hung Chang has a
domestic nature. He is very fond of
home life and takes the deepest inter-
est in the progress of bis family. His
wife Is still alive. Sons and daughters
have been born to them. The youn-
gest son, Ii Ching Mai, fills the post
Of confidential secretary to his father.
There are three unmarried daughters,
who are reputed to be pretty.
An old Chinese proverb runs, with
money you can move even the gods,
without money you cannot move even
a man." Ii subscribes to the truth Of
this adage. He has amassed riches
steadily throughout his life and Is now
asserted to be not merely the wealth
lest man in China, but the most multi
piled millionaire in the world.
TO the European eye Ii makes little
show of his money. When in Picking,
he lived in an old rambling Buddhist
temple which he hired. The rooms
were small and dirty, the walls most
anonymously decorated. Here were
photographs Of the monarchs Of Eu-
rope, there a cutting from an illustrat-
ed paper depicting Ii OH q visit to q
Belgian factory, beside it a scroll COW
cred with Chinese characters and bear
ing the sign manual Of the empress. re-
lating in fowery prose the singular
merits and peculiarly high endow-
ments of Ii, earl of the first rank and
senior, grand secretary of state.
The furniture was Of the simplest
kind. There was little Of it. The place
generally was dirty. no kind Of show

A Clever Blind Man.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
tells of blind man in southern city
who goes to the postoffice every day
carrying small, light riding whip,
which he holds slightly inclined to the
front, with the tip just touching the
pavement. His sense of touch has be-
come so delicate that the whip is al
most an artificial eye. When the point
encounters anything, he makes few
swift passes over the surface and gem
orally determines the exact character
of the obstacle. 1t is done so quickly
and deftly as to attract no attention,
and few passers have the least susp-
cion Of the old mans infirmity. When
he reaches the postoftice, he turns I'M
hesitatingly, mounts the middle stairs,
walks over to the lock boxes and with
out any feeling around thrusts key
into the right aperture.

Situation in China.

The situation in China grows more
perplexing and worse complicated
every day. The small force of the
powers is surrounded on every hand
by countless thousands of bloodthirsty
Chinese, ready to fall upon them at
any opportune time aud chop them to
pieces. The ministers in Pekin are
cooped up in the English quarters,
almost out of provisions and am
munitlon and can only communicate
with the outside world by the court
esy of some bigoted Chinese official.
The signs are omnious and the situ-
alton critical in the extreTe. The
powers have started from Tein Tsin
with relief column of about 0,000
in an effort to force their way into
Pekin and relieve the besieged legat-
ions. They have had a bloody battle

to draw from in case of need.
What difference does it make to you
how cheap flour, bacon and potatoes
are If you can't get the work whereby
you can buy them?
Or what difference does it make
how high they are so you can always
find plenty Of work at wages that cas-
lily enables you to buy all you need of
them and all other necessaries of life,
along with some of the common lux
uries and still lay by surplus?
Some of our Democratic sheets would
have you believe that the strikes in
our larger cities are organized by the
laborers because they are not receiv-
ing sufficient wages to live. The facts
are very far from this. The strikes
generally the last three years have
not been among the common laboring
men but among motormen and con-
ductors and other high salaried en-
ployeS who receive wages that would
soon make an ordinary laboring man
rich. In nine cases out of ten of the
strikes the last three years, wages
have not been the point in contro-
versy. The trouble has usually been
some other real or imagined grievance.
Don't be worried by the cry that
you are being taxed TO death by the
robber tariff. The tariff duty affects
you but trifle. You pay no duty on
your coffee. You pay a war tax on
your tea, put there after the begin
ming of the Spanish-American war.
You pay small revenue on your sug-
ar. If you smoke or chew tobacco, or
drink whisky, you pay an internal
tax, but no tariff. If you wear silks
and satins and broadclOths imported
from foreign countries you pay a reve-
nue., and you ought to. The great
bulk of the extra cost Of anything you
buy goes directly to some American
citizen, and the large per cent. of it TO
paying the extra price of labor.
The laboring man has great reason
to rejoice over his improved condition
under Republican rule, and we believe
he is thoroughly alive to the fact that
it is Republican policies that have
wrought this great change for the
better in his condition, and that he
will not be persuaded or cajoaled into
voting against his own interests this
fall.

The Capital Wins.

We are glad to note that the Re
publicans of Topeka have at last come
to their senses and given the city
printing to the Capital.
Why men who claim to be Republi-
cans and are anxious for party sue
cess will throw their influence and
support to an opposition or mugwump
paper instead of the party organ of a
locality is more than we have ever
been able to understand.
The Capital is recognized all over
the state as the official organ of the
party and is entitled to and should
have full party support.

A Rank Record.

Did you ever think that the Demo-
Gratis have only elected one Governor
of Illinois and one President Of the
United States in forty years, and that
the state treasury was left several mil
lions of dollars worse than empty and
that the national administration had
to issue interest bearing bonds for S262-

tual running expenses OF the Govern
ment? This is the record the party
goes to the voters with. Isn't it rank?

A horse who had been goer in his
time, growing old and stiff, was taken
off the track and used for a family
horse to jog about town. But one day
happening to be near a race track and
seeing the horses warming up for the
first heat and hearing the call of the
starter, jumped the fence and lit out
around the track after the trotters.
But as the bunch came around
the turn on the secord half the old
racer was not able to keep out Of the
road of the flers and was knocked
down and run over. AS he was after
ward dragging his bruised person off
the track he saw an aged sport, who
had had his hair cut and whiskers
dyed and was trying to act as coltish
as a youth of %.
"Well," says the humiliated old
horse, as he looked after the old man,
"there seems to be another old fool
who thinks he is still able to trot In
the same class he used to go in forty
