AS to the scopesof the article, it was
intended to be suggestive rather than
declaratory in criticising the large
number of presidential tickets in the

advocate that there should be but two,
but the T.-R. believes the number
should be limited, much as the states

Smith had been delegated by Mr..
Hanna to write up the party gospel
according to the Ohio Senator's views,
and having completed his task, Mr..
Smith went owe to read it to the
President. The Chief Executive and
mis- Minister were closeted for an hour

papers in his pocket and took his de-

There was a great commotion for a

WHO WILL 1T BE.

The Republican Dilemma over the
question of a Vice Presidential candi-
date has reached the pathetic stage,
and it is difficult to forecast the result
even on the eve of the Convention. The
President is reported as favoring Cor
nelius N. Bliss. Boss Plat hates Bliss
like a snake. Hanna appears to be
up in the air" and not TO know what
he wants. The Western delegates have
a decided tendency towards Represen-
tative Dolliver, of Iowa. Senator Fair
banks is a possibility. Secretary Long
is al important factor. Teddy"
Roosevelt is evidently trimming his
sails, and to be approaching what is
popularity known as the receptive"
mood, and our own Stephen B. Elkins
is not without friends and ambition.
The atmosphere has not yet cleared,
but it looks like Roosevelt.

cocksure? To down Organism perma-
nently, to stamp out the Bryan principles
which were so abhorrent to New York
Gold Democrats in 1895. it was absolutely
as necessary in 1898 to vote to keep the
HOUSE Of Representatives from becom-
ing Br.ranized as 1t was in 1886.
Yet, If the rest of the country had
suffered, the terrific Republican losses in
Congress districts which New York suf-
fered in 1895, or had suffered anywhere
near so heavily, the House of Representa-
tives to-day would be Overwhelmingly a
Bryan House"
The Press concludes:
The ,Sepublicans must awaken to it
before "a scLon or to a bitter and helpless
disappoin .nent afterward. There is
apathy in the Republican party in New
York now. and hat is the truth. There
is more Thu 81 apathy. There is discomfort.
There is d satisfaction. There is resent
ment. The ye is su~llenness, and that is the
truth. Howl are these unfortunate con-
ditions to tie changed? How are Repub-
iicans TO be : aroused to what they all in
New York lust do to perform their duty
to the whoS country for the political
fate of the country will be decided by
the result iri New York? Will 1t be by
the claque CT the professionals who are
shouting Wet sr5 so soon? We don't think
so. We don'c think anybody thinks so.
Therefore We r~epeat-and we fear we
shall need TO repeat ii NV 1t IS
no pleasure foltus to say, but We do
not see how WE can refrain from saying
over and over again. if we perform our
duty, as We hope all Republican duty
viii be perforrned before the DAY of cleo
ton. 1t is tn 1T New York is not what
it was in 1896. In 1895 and in 1891. 1t is an
open battle sound. 1t must be fought
for and hard And the candidate or party
so fortunate as to win it must do so in
a terrific, if not desperate, struggle
This is r~efresningly frank, but it
does not tell the whole truth. New
York is going Democratic this year.
Not even Teddy" Roosevelt or Cor
nelius N. Bliss as a Vice Presidential
candidate, can say it to the Republic
cans. Roosevelt was only chosen Gov
ernor by a scratch, with all his war
record and his personal popularity be-
hind him. He could not repeat the
act. New York will cast it's electoral
vote for w. J. Bryan, the next Presi-
dent.

THE NEWS GROIN CHINA.

The kilograms from China show
that the situation is rapidly growing
worse. The probability is that the
full truth has not been told, owing to
the great difficulties of communica-
ton with the centres of information,
iand that the conditions. existing for
the past week or ten days, are far
beyond the ideas conveyed by the tel
egrams. The Shanghai umo that
/, Baron Won Ketteler, the German Min
lister, has been murdered at Pekin and
the foreign legations destroyed appears
to be confirmed. If Won Ketteler is
dead, it is not impossible-nay, it is
probable hat other high foreign Off
Gals have shared his fate. The safety
of our own Minister Conger is by no
means assured, while urgent kilograms
to Admiral Kempff, sent from Wash
ington last Thursday, have not been
acknowledged or answered, and high
officials at Washington stated Satur:
day night that if no communication
was received within t~wenty-four hours
General Macarthur, at Manila, would
be called upon, although it was added
that "5his determination has been
reached reluctantly" The telegram
proceeds:
There is a strong feeling among some
officials here that. in the interest of pro-
lection Of Americans all over China a
large force should be sent to Pekin, or at
least the United States should assert it
self and take the lead of the nations in
compelling the Chinese government to
suppress the Boxes
The trouble has been allowed to grow
apace until the sAuation is, at least
temporarily, beyond control by COM
bined Europe and America. A strong
display of force three weeks ago, when
what was coming was clearly apparent,
would have largely or entirely pre-
vented the present ominous state of af-
fairs. Now it is probably too late to
90 anything but infiict punishment for
crimes committed by China, and it will
take time to secure joint action by an
adequate force. Jepan or Russia,
singly, could bring China to a speedy
realization of the error Of her ways,
but neither one of these countries will
allow the other to act, and joint action
10y them is wholly impossible. There
must be concerted action by all the
powers, and an amalgamstion of all
available forces upon an equal basis.
Anything else will inevitably lead to
war between the nations. 1t has been
suggested that the United States take
the initiative and bring China to terms
in the combined interests al ciyiliza-
ton, but it is very doubtful If the Pres-
ident has the power to do this. in the
| absence of especial authority by Con-
gress, and an extraordinary session of
that body would have to be convened.
Such a course would mount to a dec
laration of wal upon China, and that
is a power wholly in the hands Of Con-
gress. Concerted action. for the pro-
lection of American interests, is a diff
ferent matter, however, and Washing
ton can act along that line.
The kilograms of this morning give
the latest details. and will be read
with absorbing interest.

Syracuse IN. W Telegram.
Until recently the Republicans have pro-
fessed TO be cocksure of carrying New
York for Mckinley, but a change has
come over the spirit of their pipe dreams
and they are viewing the situation with
anxiety and alarm. The Democrats of
New York. on the other hand. are con-
fident of carrying the State for Bryan
and for the Democratic candidate for
Governor. The Democrats of New York
are thoroughly united and harmonious and

And Omaha, too, is very unhappy
years ago, the city was credited with
a population of 142, 900. 1t is said the
count just concluded will scale this
down to 125, 5000. Various reasons are
given for this. One is that in 1890
the returns wore outrageously padded.
Another is that this year thousands of
