Timely AdmOnItlon.
(PittsbOrO Record }

Every white man ought to work for
white supremacy as if the result Of
the election depended on his one vote
and on his own personal efforts. Let
no advocate of the amendment feel so
confident of it's adoption as to relax
his efforts in the slightest degree. OF
course we are confident that the
amendment will be adopted by an
overwhelming ma jority, but our con-
tidence is based on the belief that
every white man will do his full duty.
No election can carry itself, and it
matters not how good or how popular
a cause may be it cannot succeed
unless its advocates strive for it's sue
cess. And surely no cause was ever
more worthy of the greatest efforts of
its advocates than this great cause Of
white supremacy in North Carolina.
White men of North Carolina, do
your utmost and "weary not in well
doing" but from now until the sun
sets on the second day Of August go
to work increasingly. unremittingly,
with all your zeal and energy, and q
glorious victory will surely gladden.
your hearts.

CAPTURE OF TIENTSIN.
The Allied Forces Finally Carry the
Native City by Storm.
Baltimore SUM-

Although the allied forces were re-
pulsed in their first assaults upon
Iientsin, it appears that they finally
succeeded in carrying the city by
storm, the Chinese retiring in confu-
sion after the last attack.
The occupation of Tientsin by the
allies was regarded as vitally neces-
sary. If hostilities continue the city
will furnish an excellent base for mil
itary operations and the contemplated
advance on Pekin. The European,
American and japanese forces landed
in China to date aggregate about 22,-
600 men. The experts estimate that
an army at least 100000 strong will
be required to cope with the Chinese
under arms in the Province of Chih-li,
where most of the disturbances have
occurred. President Mckinley will
not convene Congress in extra session
unless conditions in China render
such a step absolutely necessary.
This decision was reached at the
meeting of the Cabinet yesterday.
There will be for the present at least,
no change in the policy Of the Admin
istration as set forth in the recent an
nouncement of Secretary Hay. This
Government does not consider itself
at war with China, and such troops as
it may send to that country will not
be landed for the purpose of making
war upon the Chinese Government.
American troops will cooperate with
the soldiers of the other powers in
restoring order. When this is ac-
complished it is to be assumed that
they will be promptly withdrawn,
and the Chinese Government will
make reparation for the acts Of the
Boxers. In the absence Of any infor-
nation to the contrary it would
appear that the reported murder of
the foreign Ministers and residents
at Pekin was the work Of mob tenn
porarily in control OF the Chinese cap
ital II the Chinese Government, as it
doubtless will do, disavows the action
of the revolutionists, the United
States will have no cause for war with
China. Certainly no motive of re-
venge will be allowed to shape the
policy of the United States toward
the Chinese Empire, whatever action
may be taken by European powers.
Up to the present time the Admins
tration has displayed a commendable
spirit in dealing with the situation in
China, and it is to be hoped that
there will be no departure from the
policy laid down by the State Depart
ment. Certainly no reason exists at
present for any change in the course
pursued by this Government.

ito'. hhIHoHy Dilhoy SKY, paSCoT VI
the Universalist Church, Guilford
avenue and Lanvale street, preached
yesterday morning upon The Trag-
edy in China He said in part:
The tragedy in China is one of
those paroxysms of agony that mark
the path of sorrows typified in Cal
vary. 1t is the struggle of the new
time with the old spirit. 1t is the
footprint of blood left by marching
civilization. 1t is the birthpang Of a
larger order of life. In the midst of
sorrows and fears let us look calmly
at the facts.
This trouble is at bottom relig-
ious one. Practical religion in China
is the worship of ancestors. The
Chinaman lives in the past; he is in
suited if told that he may be wiser
than his fathers. Hence his conser-
vatism-a .oe, hat, a robe, a house
has not changed fashion in 1000
years. The most sacred spots are the
tOmbs OF the ancestors. The mer
chant and missionary are menance
to the old order-their one aim is to
change it. The present horrors are
the results OF fanatics trying to resist
such change.
The Boxers, or Fists Of Public
Harmony, is a half-political, half
| religious order. They are well armed,
well Organized, numerous, and ablaze
| with hatred for the foreigner They
believe themselves immune from
| physical danger; calm that their
allies-the unseen spiritual hosts
rain lead and death upon their enemies.
The regular army, believing this, is
afraid to fire on them.
| The Government is corrupt to a
degree. With corruption has come
weakness. If the Emperor is father
of his people how can he rule well
when he and his dynasty, long drunk
with power are now in a state OF
mental and moral delirium tremens?
With palsied Government, a fanati-
cal mob let loose on defenseless for
eigners, backed by the tacit sympathy
of vast hordes, we have the scene and
the actors of the most revolving orgies
in the long annals of mans crime and
folly.
That the merchant and the mis-
sionary have been irritants is beyond
doubt. The old order resents the
new industrial order. The railroad
and telegraph offends the living and
the dead.
The missionary, with all his
nobility of aim, his purity of life and
purpose, has been rock of offense.
China needs the religion of Christ;
but theological propaganda is out
of place; it needs the mora! and hu-
manitarian side of the Gospel. That
benighted people, with torture in
their courts of justice, infanticide in
their homes, lying, dishonesty and
deceit everywhere, need some simple
but radical ideas of justice, honesty,
humanity; mission work must change
front.
"The missionary has failed TO SYM
pathize with or understand the Chi
nese mind, saying that light from
heaven has ever visited that land and
that Confucuis, like Israel, is a school
master providentially sent to lead his
people to Christ This must be seen
and taught.
What will happen9 The Western
powers are going to be active in the
future government of that vast realm
somewhat like England in India
and Egypt"

The Negro's Vote Kills the White
Mans.
(PittSbOrO RecOrd.)

Every negro's vote kills the vote OF
some white man. Therefore the more
negro votes cast the more white mems
votes are killed, and the smaller the
number of negroes voting the smaller
is the number of white votes killed.
Ought white men wish to increase or
decrease the number of negro votes? ?
Remember that the amendment will
diminish the negro vote by about
eighty thousand. And this means
that the votes of $4,000 white men
which are now killed by negro voters,
will then count to swell the ma jority
for white supremacy. So that really
the amendment will enfranchise So
900 white men. whose votes are now
killed by that number of negroes.
