large standing army.
Mr. Bryan, in his brilliant speech,
calls attention to the unhappy conse-
iquence OF the eXpansionist or lmperial-
istic policy, stating that in order to
maintain it permanent army of 100,-
900 men is Indispensable. and that on
the contrary $4,000 soldiers only would
be ilecessar% for a republic of 7O.0O0,OOO
3cf people. He showed how unhappy is
the imperalistic system. which is
founded only on force. in contrast with
the ant-inperia,istic or republican
idea. which has its foundation on the
consent of the people. He predicted
legislation against trusts and monopo-
lies and left for future consideration
the question of Il new coinage system.
The democrats of the southern. eastern
and western states have all adhered to
the political program of Mr.. Bryan and
predict his triumph. Many anti-impe-
rialistic republicans have also posted
at the side of Mr.. Bryan.
His triumph means the triumph of the
traditional democratic ideas of the peo-
pie. But the triumph of Mr.. Bryan is
also that of the Filipino cause. MIR.

OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD CHINA.


our national attitude in the Chinese
trouble has been pretty we'll defined in
{ advices from washington. Our repre-
sentatives in that country are to act in
dependently of other powers in SO far as
policies are concerned, and yet possibly
in3unison with others for the protection
OF life and property of foreign residents.
From all political schemes in which any
OF the powers may become Involved
the United States will hold aloof This
: IS IN harmony with our general and oft
announced policy of avoiding entang-
ling alliances with European nations
Beyond the preservation or guarding OF
national interests. there is no ground
for aggressive movements in China on
the part of any of the great powers
The present trouble grows out OF hos
tflity to foreign aggression, and as it
has the sympathy Of the empress to
some extent, there has thus far been
little more than a perfunctory move
ment by the Chinese authorities to
check it. There is little doubt. however.
that when the empress is sufficiently
aroused to the peril from foreign pun
ishment she Will make more strenuous
mass of he people are said TO be back
of it and she may be to some extent
bending TO their Will Much has been
said about the partition of China
among the powers of the earth, yet it
would be much better to preserve it as
a whole, and 10 allow the lapse Of time
and gentle efforts to overcome its pref
ucice to the encroacilment of progress.
Our own national attitude of strict
neutrality will be endorsed by the peo-
pie. II may be difficult to forecast the
result of this small war cloud. Similar
efforts in times past have resulted in
bloody conflicts. The South African
war is a case in point and fresh in
memory The appeals OF thousands Of
Englishmen 10 tile mother country for
redress of grievances led to earnest
negotiations for better treatment. and
the overt acts of the Beers and their
declaration of war precipitated a con--s
flict that has been far-reaching in its
effect. With such an object lesson be-
fore us. it is We'll TO exhaust all the
arts Of diplomacy in guarding our resi- resi-,
dents and interests in China before de-
Gliding to assume hostile attitude.

WARNING INFLUENCES IN CHINA.


Century there is an article on The ms
tellectual Awakening of China. which
the Chicago Tribune thinks is curiously
contradicted by the events of the last
week, for the awakening Of the Boxers
lis anything but intellectual. Yet the
article is not without some bearing upon
the anti-foreign riots. II is written by
Robert X. Douglas the Chinese lam
suage expert of the British museum,
and ii shows a remarkable growth OF
Chinese Interest in western civilization
since the war with Japan
The Society forstfle Diffusion of Chris
tan and General knowledse Among the
Chinese has issued 10 books in classical
Chinese form. and since 1893 these have
met with remarkable sale. III the two
years Immediately before the war the
sale OF the societys books amounted to
only SSH, While in the two years ending
With 1898 they amounted 10 s1s,457.
More than this. Chinese publishers on
every hard have been industriously
pirating these European books because
of the profit found in their sale. The
books treat of all branches of western
learning. such as geography. history,
science, travel, and the Bible When
Mackenzles nineteenth Century was
brought out in a popular Chinese edi-
ton 1000 copies were sold within a
fortnight. SoEinsistent and unusual has
been the demand for such works that
the older printing establishments have
been una bic TO meet the demand, and
new ones have sprung up on all sides.
while the price of paper went up BY
LEAPS and bounds and the binders were
unable to cope With the work thus sud-
denly demanded of them. In 1895 only
nineteen newspapers We're printed III
the vernacuiar; in 1898 this number was
quadrupled.
Commenting on these statements the
Tribune adds:
Facts like these are difficult to square
= with the fanatical hatred of all things
foreign shown by the Boxer MODS, UNI
less one realizes that the present out
break is a counter demonstration Only
10 per cent of all the inhabitants can
read. and it is among this 10 per cent
that western books and ideas are in
such eager demand. The other nine
tenths OF the population are still as
bitterly hostile to progress az before.
The reactionary movement dates from
the deposition Of the young emperor and
the assumption OF supreme power by
by the dowager empress. She at once
began throwing cold water upon all
printing enterprises by means of Il
strongly worded edict and the same
chilling influence was at once felt by
the schools and colleges which had been
springing up under the new awakening
She finds her strongest support in
what the London Spectator calls the
ultra Tory element Of China; and it is
among these classes that the secret so
ciety known as the Boxers has sprung
