THE SlTuATION IN CHINA.


Recent Developments in China would
indicate that, so far from improving,
the situation in China is daily becom-
ing more alarming, with every lndica-
ton that the Chinese empire is involved
IN an IBiqlitons and objectionable
work. 1t IS becoming more generally
believed that the foreigners who have
been in Pekin have been murdered and
that the dispatches recently received
we're either iorgeries or messages that
we're sent at a much earlier date and
held by the government.
In view Of the present knowledge Of
affairs II would seem incredible that
the powers should waste much valuable
time in quIbbling among themselves
while every minute may mean the tor
ture and death Of defenseless men and
women and the better preparation Of
the Chinese 10 repel INVASION and thus,
ultimately the cost Of hundreds or even
thousands Of lives. Should the Chinese
be 10 possession Of any large number Of
effective guns and be given time TO
organize even 8 very small proportion
Of their fighting men into q body Of
troops, the march to Pekin will be no
holiday undertaking. 1t is estimated
that China could raise an army Of
10000, 900 men. and though she a
only arm a small proportion Of these
with modern weapons, II would cost
many lives 10 defeat q force Of bali
that number, though armed in a very
primitive manner, should they be we'll
%entrenched and sustained by the terri
BILE hatred that seems to have caused
the present outbreak.
Without organization and defensts
they would be helpless and now is the
Time to attack. The powers can settle
their quarrels at their leisure, after
China has paid for her lniqnity and
been placed in a position where she
can sin no more.

THE ADMINISTRATION THE ISSUE.

lnE lHb AooOEs
Vice-C Chairman Payne, Of the repub-
lican national committee, is reported
as saying that the administration will
be the issue. Beyond a doubt Mr..
Payne Is correct, and he only voices
the sentiment of the democratic party
in his ulterances. The administration
is the issue and il matters not Whist the
republican platform or republican
orators may proclaim, it is on the
policy of that administration that the
battle will be fought. 1t has ever been
the case and eyer will be that any
administration that seeks to succeed
itself must be the issue. And it Is only
right that this should be. Why
should we judge Of a party by its plat
form, when we have It's living acts
before usP Why should we accept a
srty platform when the declarations
in 1t have been given the he by party
l~egislationP Il was the treachery Of a
man elected by the democratic party
in 1892 that defeated that party IN
1896.
The democratic party la defeated
because OF the record Of its administra-
ton, even though the party repudialed
that administration. How, then, shall
the republican party hope TO win when
it endorses its periidyP The record is
written and no amount Of campaign
lying and evasion shall suffice 10 blot
that record. 1t is written in infamy
and shame and in the blood Of Amer
lean manhood poured out on q foreign
soil in a vain endeavor to enslave q
hberty-loying people. In the peridy
of broken pledges and the ignomlny Of
INSTRUMENTATION. In the unearned
profits OF the trust magnate and the
~enslayement and coercion Of American
labor, ln the stencil Of A~lgerized beef
and the infected water OF Chlckamauga.

best young men, sent to die in putrid

the national banks. In the Hay
Pauncefole treaty and the silent con-
sent of this government to the annihl-
lation of two republics in South Africa,
by the greatest monarchy on earth.
1t is truly a history ofperidy and on
kh the battle will be fought. This
Aeeord will be submitted TO the scrutiny
of a iib%erty-loying people and in the
light of our past history we believe
that il will meet with such a stern re-
buke rs no political party has ever re-
ceived. 1t will be read by men who
believe that men should be free, not as
free as other men see fit to make
them; by men who believe that the
people should govern themselves and
not be governed by trusts BY true and
patriotic men who will turn with shame
