The New Turn In Chinn.

Indianapolis Press: An unexpected
turn in the Chinese situation throws
Russia and the United States on the
same line of policy, the greatest des-
potism in the world and the greatest
republic in the world joining in the
suggestion to the other powers that
the international troops be withdrawn
from Peking, and negotiations opened
for peace on the basis of permitting
the Chinese government to resume the
reins of power. 1t is not the first time
Russia and the United States have
acted together in a great crisis, and it
is not unlikely that Russia has a pur-
pose of her own, just as she had in
practically loaning us the best ships
of her navy when Great Britain was
threatening hostilities during the civil
war.
The program mapped out by the
United States and Russia seems the
only alternative to a war of "pacifica-
ton" in China, which might last fifty
years. The country is a vast aggre-
CATION of different peoples, inhabiting
the different provinces. They are
ruled by the present dynasty, not
through force of arms, but rather
through the Chinese instinct to re-
gard the ruling family as divine. This
sense of divinity they will neve feel
for foreign rulers. IL would be better
for China, and better for the world,
if another native government could be
set up composed of Cinnamon that
have lived out in the world and have
the modern spirit, but with the old
dynasty practically out of reach in the
interior, this seems an impossible
task. Probably the easiest and least
expensive way of getting at the mat
ter is to permit the emperor and en-
press dowager to return to Picking.
1t is not difficult to figure out the
Russian motives in the matter. Her
Amur province, seized from China
| within the century, has been invaded
by the Chinese. In retaliation she will
in time complete her seizure of Man
churia and occupy another slice of
northern China. Russia can follow
her own purposes in China with much
greater ease if the present difficulty
be settled and the forces of the pow.
ers withdrawn, not merely from Pc,
king, but from China.

a Cleveland citizen, then a child of
tender years, left his fathers thresh-
old to see the world. He became pen
niless in Bay City, Mich, and started
for home via the Michigan Central

at Detroit he wrote his father the fol
lowing letter:
Dear Papa: / am so sorry / ran
away. In Bay City my money gave

Story or How lt Came TO he Fixed
on Tuesday I'm November.
Chicago Tribune: The designation
of the day for holding the presiden-
tial election is left to congress. The
first act passed by 1t relating TO that
subject was in 1892. 1t provided that
presidential electors should be APP
pointed within thirty-four days be-
fore the first Wednesday, in Decem-
her," This left each state free TO Sc
lect a day to suit itself within these
limits. Pennsylvania chose electors
on the last Friday in October. Other
states elected theirs on different days
between the beginning and middle OF
November.
When Harrison was elected in 1S4t
the democrats asserted that his sue
cess was due partly to fraudulent vot,
ing, which WIS made possible by the
lack of a definite election day. Il
was alleged that Kentucky and Ohio
wings had voted in both states, the
election being held on different days
So in 1s45 the democrats passed tn,
law now on the statute books making
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day election day.
At that time but five of the twenty
six states held their state election il
November. In Michigan and Missis
sippi voting was carried on through
two days-the first Monday and tn,
following Tuesday. New York hat
three election days-the first Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday-but hao
finally confined voting to the middl,
day, or the first Tuesday after tn,

the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day to consult the convenience o

Judge Heyburn's Meeting.

Last Friday night Judge Hepburn
delivered an eloquent aud logical POI
itical address at the court house. II
had been raining hard all day, and it
was still raining when the hour for the
meeting arrived, consequently a small
audience SIS according to the local
fusion organ greeted the speaker.
That organ considered ii Il mark OF
apathy. diScouragcment or something
of that sort. that so few were present
on one of the stormiest nights of the
season. When Mr. Glenn spoke here,
and the weather WAS perfect, thefe
were Just - people present BY actual
count. Is of whom We're republicans.
We wonder why. Think Of it, Only
10 customers To welcome their cdndi
date for congress. and then they al
tempt To make light of a crowd Of Sc.
Judge Hepburn always makes a tat
talk and his effort on last Friday
night was, If anything, above his ave-.
age. Mr.. Hepburn talked for about
an hour and half. ami his speech wa
replete with sparkling gems OF Wit ano
mlmor. sound logic, and mastery
array Of incantr0yer;ible facts. VT

kept many away who otherwise would
have been present.
