A VIEW OF DUTY in CHINA.

In vigorous discussion of the Chi
nese troubles in the August issue Of
.'Success. Col. Charles DENLY says:
This is. not the time for Mandy
pamby politics. a governments is of no
mortal use unless III protects lts I'fo-
pie. We must protect Americans n
China. They are rigntfuIly there and
we must protect them at all hazards i
mean that we must send ships and
armed men. soldiers and marines, and
that they must Kill and overcome the
Boxers. Fortunately We still hold the
Philippines and we can reach Tien Tsin
from Manila in six days. Unless the
Chinese government puts down this In
surrection the foreigners must do il.
There is no alternative and the issue
must be boldly met. Our intervention
should be put on the simple, pain and
lnassailable ground that our supreme
duty is to seesthat every American Who
is legally and properly in any country
shall be protected in MS life and prop
erty 1t would be curious if any Amer
lean, whether he dislikes missionaries
or likes them. should publicly aenounce
that doctrine. There would be greater
q indignat ton against MIN. than there is
against the plain American CITIZEN VINO
intimates that. in considering the Pm +
ippine question, it is not immoral 70
take into consideration the fact that a
great commerce will grow up between
the islands and the United States,
+ which will be honorably and mutually
beneflcialato both countries.
..Our Intervention must be guarded
and prudent. 1t must not be understood
Il that we are forming coalition with
the other powers. The ghost of nom
intervention is still powerful enough to
prevent this contamination. In mere
military matters our soldiers may be
compelled to act with the troops Of the
powers; but when the war is over We
will stand alone, IL need be. against the

RUSSIAN THISTLE AS FODDER.
minneapolis Tribune.l

Not much is heard lately of the Rus
sian thistle. A few years ago some OF
the farmers OF the northwest were fear
full that it would overrun their farms
and render them valueless, and all sorts
of devices We're invented to exterminate
the supposed pest; but now 1t turns out
that the weed is a good fod oder for stock,
1t is said that farmers In Kansas and
Colorado regularly cut the thistle when
young, and turn it to good account as
fodder. Butter makers find 1t good feed
for CONS, and sheep take to 1t readily.

To lovers of bright, catchy music
the appearance of the Joe Newman
Company will be a treat. Mr..
Newman's songs are different from
the usual run and they have a
charm that is especially pleasing
when rendered in his own inimit-
able style. Miss Jean Brooks is a
dramatic soprano who sings charm
ingly, Miss Talbot, an elocutionist,
who has selections that are bright
and pleasing, Miss Carlotta Bixler,
a violinist, who thoroughly under
stands the violin and plays with
grace and ease, and Miss Loretta
Guion is pianist whose playing
is remarkable for its brilliancy and
admirable technique. This Com
pany appears for one night only at

A Marked Difference.

There is marked difference be-
tween the Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates for the presidency
in their ability to remain faithful
to important issues through evil
report and good report. Mckinley
is recognized as the apostle of pro-
lection. lie believes i'll it, worked
for it, voted for it and secured the
passage of the protective tariff
measure known as the Mckinley
bill. When the free trade party
triunphed and house and senate
were elected pledged to repeal the
Mckinley bill, its author never
wavered. He continued to teach
protection and warned the people
that the experiment on which they
were about to enter would prove
disastrous. Results proved the
wisdom of his position. The peo-
pie came to think as he thought
and his record in both victory and
defeat has been consistent. While
Mckinley advocated protection,
Bryan defended free trade, but
when free trade was repudiated
Bryan dropped it. He consulted
with expediency and bound him
self to the silver worshipers, al
lowing free trade to shift for itself.
Then in turn silver was dropped,
and after this year Imperialism will
sleep beside free trade and free
silver and some other popular cry
will be adopted by the Nebraska
Colonel-unless he is dropped.

When Cleveland delivered his

When Cleveland delivered his
famous ultimatum in regard to the
Venezuelan boundary dispute there
was not voice raised in this coun-
try against him. No one injected
partisan politics into that foreign
embroglio. The fact is the Demo-
Gratis are trying to mix the Chinese
situation with with the Ph Philippine stu
alton, and couple both together to
create an "imperialistic bugaboo"
for the purpose of frightening
voters into the Democratic camp.
The probabilities are that it will
be found that American citizens
are proof against any such petty
deceit. and that they will not only
remain pure patriots, but will look
after their best interests in sup
porting the Republican party and
maintaining the prosperity which
that party has brought to the
country.

In spite of all their efforts to
conceal it, the declaration of Sena-
tor William NJ Stewart, of Nevada,
has given the Democracy nasty
jar. There are lot of miners and
silver men all over the western
country who are pretty apt to
think that there is not much use of
clinging to Bryan as silver man
when Stewart deserts him. Stew
art was one of the first Republican
senators to leave the Republican
party on the silver question. He
was out of the party long before
Dubois, Teller, Pettigrew, Towne
and others, who make up the silver
Republican organization, ever
thought of leaving. Stewart can
not stand the scuttling policy, and
he has got lot of friends through
out the western states who are
likely to follow him. But long be-
fore Senator Stewart announced
his determination to oppose Bryan,
there had been rapid revolution
in the former silver states in favor
of the Republicans, and it was Civ
ing the Democrats great deal Of
concern.

The pessimistic predictions of
the prophet of calamity, so freely
proclaimed in 1886, have been dis
