The situation in China is no brighter.
The last correspondence between the
United States and China is danger
ously near an ultimatum. The United
States has demanded free communi-
cation with its ministers in Picking;
Ii Hung Chang, the crafty old vice.
roy who is acting as the mouthpiece
of China, is still lodging. The allied
army has begun its advance from Ten
Tsin to the relief OF the ministers in
Picking, seventy-five miles away.
Meagre reports have been received Of
heavy fighting eight miles beyond
Tien Tsin, in which the allies were
victorious. Ii Hung Chang still as
serts that the ministers have left Pc
king for Tien Tsin under escort. This
has not been confirmed; in fact, there
is reason to believe ii is not SO, but
simply another subterfuge to prevent
the advance on Picking. From this
out news from China will be of a
more positive character; the period
OF waiting is believed to be over.

The republican leaders will meet
the democrats more than half way In
making so-called Imperialism the
campaign issue, although, of course,
every person of ordinary common
sense knows that there are no advo-
Gates of an American empire in the
republican party. The foreign policy
of the Mckinley administrator, which
is fully endorsed by the republican
party, is what the democrats pretend
to see Imperialism in. They will find
out before they get through with it
that about seven out of every ten
voters in the United States are sup
porters of the foreign policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and believers in the
era of Greater America inaugurated
under his administration.

The Paramount issue.

Free coinage of silver at ratio Of Is
to is the one important plank in its
platform on which the democratic
party takes positive position. 1t is
against trusts, but that unfortunate
New York ice trust has frozen up the
fonnts of oratory on that issue. 1t is
against imperialism, but hedges by
talk of expansion. 1t is forum
equivocally for-free coinage of silver
at ratio of Is to /. and yet this one
important plank on which it takes a
positive rather than negative posi-
ton, 1t declares is but subordinate
issue, as if that declaration alone
would make it so.
Free coinage OF silver is menace
to national credit and national pros
perity. The party which incorporates
it in its platform and then attempts
to hide it beneath other issues, not
only threatens the honor of the
country, but is guilty Of attempt to
defraud. There is no militarism or
imperialism, and there will be none;
the republican platform as well as the
democratic platform is against trusts;
the paramount issue of this campaign
is, as it was four years ago, Is to 1
and national dishonor, or gold stand
ard and national honor.

Bryan.

The Portland Oregonian, which has
a particularly accurate and forcible
way of hitting the nail on the head,
takes Mr.. Bryan to task for saying
that ''as things are going now in this
country, the young man can only hope
to be poor clerk for some monopoly.
THAT is strange utterance," says
the Oregonian, ''for man who pre-
tends to the wisdom and character
requisite for the highest political
honor in the world. 1t is addressed
to the baser instincts of the mind
discomfort with a humble lot and rage
at those better off. 1t lie neither
patriotic nor helpful, and, what is of
more consequence, it is not true.
''To be poor clerk is not the worst
thing that can happen to man. He
might, for example, descend from an
honest clerkship to be a demagogic
agitator, or an apostle of anarchy. 1t
is not clear, either, that Mr.. Bryan
himself occupies pinnacle of achieve
ment so high that its natural relation
to clerkship is one of commisera-
ton. He was an actor, and members
of his company say he was far from
being a good one. He was lawyer,
but the long and laudatory biography
of him that lies before US makes no
mention of any practice or any YER
diets. He was an editor, but left no
impress on journalism. He enlisted
in the war, but if he accomplished
anything or gave evidence of being
able to accomplish anything, the proof
is not forthcoming. In all his speeches,
delivered almost ipcessantly since he
was twelve years old, there is no sign
that he has made single contribution
to the sum of human knowledge or
shed single ray of light upon the
problems that engage the attention of
thinking men. There is no evidence
that il he lost his remarkable voice,
any business firm in the country,
monopoly or otherwise, would have

Philadelphia, Sept. 3.-Thirteen per.
sons killed and over thirty others in
Jured is the appalling record of col-
nslon between an excursion train and
a milk train on the Bethlehem branch
of the Philadelphia & Reading road
twenty miles north of here. The
wrecked train consisted of ten day
coaches and was the first section of a
large excursion made up of people
from Bethlehem and surrounding
towns to Atlantic City. This section
carried only those persons who lived
in Bethlehem and Allentown, and left

a. M. exactly thirty-fve minutes be,
hind the milk train. The latter train
consisted of two milk cars and two
passenger coaches and had stopped
at every station on the road from
Bethlehem enroute to Philadelphia.
At 6:45 the milk train drew up at the
milk platform at Hatfield, and in
less than two minutes the special ex-
cursion train, running at the rate of
thirty-five miles an hour, crashed
into the rear of the milk train. The
locomotive plowed through the two
passenger coaches and crushed them
as if they were egg shells. The milk
