DOUBT AND HOPE.

Doubt as to the safety of the legation
safety and ultimate escape are the alter
mating emotions of the minds of all peo-
pie to-day. Ii Hung Chang has official
ly declared tina the ministers have left
route to Tien Tsin under an armed es-
cort. Either Lii Hung Chang is a mon
strous liar or the truth of his declara-
ton will soon be made manifest by the
arrival of the ministers themselves at
their destination. The world will wait
patiently for a few more hours. If the
ministers come not and if the Chinese
government reports that they were way
laid and butchered on the journey, China
must pay the penalty. There will be no
compromise and no hesitation. Credence
will be given to the rumor that the an
nounced departure of the ministers was
a ruse to hide the real date of the butch
cry and to cover up Chinese duplicity in
dealing with the powers.
If the ministers do reach Tien Tsin, and
God grant that they may. the whole
story of the Pekin atrocities will then
be made known to the world. The de-
tails will be of new, ~shuddering horrors;
the names of those who are dead and the
manner of their dying will be made
known. 1t will wiring the heart of the
world, Notwithstanding that the long
dread period of waiting and the tale
after tale of demon deeds have dulled the
feelings of the people and worn the sharp
edge from their grief. There may be in
the story sufficient proof of Chinese Of
fetal conformation and completely to war
rant an immediate beginning of the war
| which so many consider inevitable. There
will at least be a comparing of notes
among the nations when the surviving
minister have rendered their full reports
and even if the crimes are only blame
able to the Boxer uprising, the united de-
mands upon China for reparation may
lead to war. The world is waiting.

A FATAL VINO.

The statement as to the status of silver
in the Kansa City convention, which
the Inter Mountain copied from the New
York Journal, yesterday, seems to have
had a demoralizing effect on our es-
teemed contemporaries in Montana. Fig
nres do not lie and, for that reason, they
are not frequently used by democratic
newspapers; yet the tabulated statement
of the Journal showing democratic senti-
ment in this country on the silver issue
the party's national convention, cannot
be overcome by any explanation which
such organs as the Standard or Miner
can make. 1t is not expected that the
Journals conclusions for the Anaconda
papers view on free coinage are known
ITO be hostile and the paper itself is
known to be disgruntled; but the Miner
should come promptly to the front with
q candid confession of error. What is
the use of keeping up the farce any
longer? In the light of the Journals
figures, what is there to be said in sub
sanitation of democracy's friendship for
the white metal? Why insult the intelli-
gence of men who can read figures and
know the rule of simple addition? 1t
may be claimed that the delegates who
first voted against silver in the resolu-
tions committee did not represent their
constituents, but that claim cannot be
demonstrated and it is, besides, absurd.
If the delegates did not represe { their
constituents concerning silver. how do
we kno they did SO concerning trusts,
militarism, anti-expansion and other is
sues real and imaginary? No. it will moi
do. III plain truth is that the demo-
cratic party is opposed to silver. All the
eastern Bryan papers say so. and they
prove 1t by figures which the western
Bryan papers r wholly unable to con
trovert. So, therefore. why should the
Miner longer hesitate to acknowledge
