The Boxer Enthronsd.

The Boxer is on the throne in China.
There is no hereditary ruler in the sys-
tenn of that empire. The crown passes
from one to another as the holder de-
termines, he selecting his successor re-
gardless of descent. True, for most
part it has been kept within a family in
the last century and half, but very re-
mote members OF it have been chosen
to succeed.
AS matters now stand Prince Tuan,
the bloodthirsty, is the father of the
heir apparent, and as the father has
compelled the suicide of the Emperor,
and has put the Dowager Empress
where she can do no harm. The SON
being an infant, Tuan is actually EN-
peror, his regency not in the slightest
degree restraining him in the exercise
of absolute power.
The question before the powers,
therefore, as to the responsibility ef the
Chinese Government for the outrages
upon foreigners in China under solem-
nifty of treaty is simplifed 1t is no
longer a question, indeed, for the
Chinese Government is now the pro-
moter and supporter of the Boxer
movement, whose head is acting EN-
peror and absolute in authority. The
civilized nations may now demand Of
the responsible Government an account
ing, for what was mob, an insurrec-
tion, has become governmental
force. e.-Record- Union.
