Fjuhtinu at lien Tsin,

The fighting at Tien Tsjn is conducted on the part of the Chinese by regular troops. This is beyond question. General Ma is an officer of the Chinese army, and it is he who reconquered the imperial ar senal. and who is bombarding the quarters of the city occupied by British, French and Russians.
 It should be remembered that Tien Tsin is the port of Pekin-that it is the head of navigation. It is distant by cart road from Pekin sxty-fve miles. The inner city of Tien Tsin is occupied by about one million Chinese, and outside of this inner city arc large quarters or concessions occupied by foreigners. The imperial arsenal is north east of Tien Tsin few miles away. Yes sels of light draught can steam up to Tien Tsin from Taku, distant about thirty miles, The Nashville and similar gunboats can go there.
 All non-combatants have been ordered away from Tien Tsin, and they are going to Japan as rapidly as transports can be loaded with them. The foreign quarters of the city are under the fire of Chinese guns, and the Chinese lines are near at hand, and the allied troops are not strong enough to dslodge them. And yet there must be an allied army fully 10000 strong at or near Tien Tsin. The entire situation at that city is very disquietng, for it goes to show that the task in hand is not a light one. It goes to show that strong column well supplied with food and land transport is needed before movement against Pekin can be begun. If the legations are dead no need for haste exists, and a we'll equipped and sufficiently large force would in every respect be preferable to an nsuf- ficient one that might be delayed on the road and possibly driven back. The sit uation at Tien Tsin serves to show the allies the strength that is needed and the Japanese officers can tell them about the food supplies that all must be supplied with

Gulf Trade to the South.

Had American manufacturers says the Philadelphia Record. Hong since developed the markets of Central and South America, provided adequate means of transportation by direct steamship communication from Philadelphia and arranged for the neces- sary banking facilities to take care of ex- change and of the long term credits usually extended in the South American republics they would have secured additional mar kets, and would thus have placed them parative equanimity the effect of the war fare in South Africa and China upon trade with those ports of the world"
 Trade with Central and South America delphia. Those countries need coarse cot ton goods, and these are made or soon will be made chiefly in the south To transport these by rail to Philadelphia, and then ship them past southern ports to Central and South American countries would be a waste of money in freights, when such goods could go direct from Mobile or New Orleans, along with the wheat, corn, coal coke iron. steel and lumber and naval stores that those countries may need. An enlarged trade with Central and South America is very desirable, but it can never be conducted successfully against English or German trade until 1t is conducted from Mobile or New Orleans; and perhaps it will not be conducted successfully from those Gulf ports until the Nicaragua Canal, the Lake Borgne Canal and the Warrior improvement are each and all completed All are parts of one whole, and each is essential

From the St. Louis Post Dispatchs
 Orderly McMillan, who went up San Juan Hill with Hero Roosevelt, says: " He was on his all fours most of the time goin' up the hill, like the rest of us. Not word did he speak to me or anybody else durin the excitement Fact is, he kept his mouth rammed so full of grass that he couldn't have talked very plain if he had tried. He kept pullin up grass by the handful stuff fin it in his mouth, chewin' it and spttin' it out, and then rammin' another handful, roots dirt aRd all Before them terrible hours was over I'll bet Roosevelt chawed up and spit out enough grass to make bale of hay. Still, he did not finch. He kept movin' up It was just the awful ex- citement that made him keep chawin' grass"
 There is nothing, however, in the Vice Presidential office to make a great man nervous. Governor Teddy could preside in the Senate with only hunk of gum.

A PROMISING DIVORCE

From the Huntsville Mercury
 In a speech at Tuscaloosa some days since Colonel Wm. J. Sanford announced that he favored the divorce of education and politics." Of course Colonel Sanford in tended that to apply to university matters and if he had any opposition in Alabama that expression. would be worth LOGO votes.
 Col Sanford spoke by the card when he referred to divorcing education and politics He has been a trustee of the university and knows exactly what politics has done and is now doing for that institution. He was a member of the board when the infamous land sale was passed and is perfectly familiar with the representations and mis- representations freely made on that un- fortunate occasion.
 The Mercury believes that Colonel Sam ford is independent, honest and manly enough to weed out the dangerous 1n,lu- ences that have long prevailed in the uni versity atmosphere. If he does, he wit. amply repay the people of Alabama for honoring him with the highest office within their gift.

DEBT AND DUllE, IN CHINA

From the Boston Herald.
 Though China is one of the most corrupt of nations in it's general administration of the civil service of its government, it's cus- toms duties are said to be honestly col lected and returned It will be a matter of surprise to many to learn how low is the rate of taxation levied upon importations from foreign countries there. It averages but little more than 3 per cent, and this is collected in silver, which lessens the burden one-half to those who send goods from Europe and America. If this shall be changed to a gold rate, it must, of course, enormously increase the nations revenue. The debt of China is not very large, when compared with that of the more advanced nations with which she trades. It amounts to about $500, 900, 900, and of this 4O,00O,O00 has but recently been contracted. The maritime customs are pledged for its payment, principal and in- terest. The revenue of the government comes largely from land taxation and it is difficult to exaggerate the amount of cor ruption that attends the agencies by which it is collected.

PRESIDE VITAL YEARS
From the Philadelphia Record.


 From this time on till the day of the November election there will be much writing and talking about Supreme duty' burning issues," and great crisis" All ways before a Presidential election one half of the orators and organs insist that the fate of the republic hangs upon the choice of the Democratic candidate, while the other half insists with equal vehemenee that only Republican victory can avert red ruin. It has been even so from the begin ming. But the orators and organs have lied. If Mckinley were bent on establish ing an empire the ruins of the republic and if Bryan were determined to imperil the business prosperity of the country by changing the standard of value, neither the one nor the other could accomplish his object.
 Every four years since 17SS the country has made choice of a new President, and has emerged safe and smiling from the organic and oratorical perls that beset it. It will emerge this year-no matter what the name of the next President may be greater stronger, firmer-footed among the nations of the world than ever before.
 The wise man will not let his politics interfere with his business because few professionals who make a business of politics are going up and down the land and vociferating

THE ROOSEVELT HAT
'hicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 Roosevelts hat Is the hot and heavy sym bol of his vanity, his ambition and his transparent self-assurance. He has seen enough of Rembrandt's figures to value that style of headgear as fetching on a homely face. Rubens also liked to put some of his ugly countenanced men in that hat. Theatrical and ambitious even outside his own profession, he donned that brim- ming brim himself on occasion.
 Campaign hats, like campaign songs and campaign slang, slightly relieve the tedi- ousness of three months dullness, espe- cially during the dog star days. But they have never carried Presidential elections They add, certainly, to the gayety of a melancholy nation, and are to be encour- aged.
 Roosevelt should continue to wear his luxurious Spanish souvenir if only to spite Mark Hanna

Production of Petroleum,

This country has lost dominance in the production of petroleum. Russia produced last year 9,oOOOOO tons, against production of S,5OO,OOO tons in this country. The pro- auctions in Galicia, Roumania. Sumatra, Borneo and Java do not in any one state approach the million mark. Russia and America are the two great producers, and of the two Russia is gaining ground. while the American production is declining.
 Heretofore Russian oil has been disliked in many countries, but of late it has come into favor. Even in England, Russian oil is received in some districts. Germany still depends upon American oil. In good part of Europe, Russian oil is cheaper in price, but its low quality has heretofore affected the price. If Germany could get good Russian oil at the price of American oil none of the latter would be sold in Germany. The production in this country should be maintained. The wells in Texas are small producers. but it is now believed the oil district Is extensive, and test wells are going down in various parts of the State. There are oil districts in Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as in West Virginia and perhaps these could be largely de- relooed
 The discovery of oil in commercial quan- titles in Texas goes to show that such deposiis have no relation to the proximity pf coal, for there are no coal seams near
