REPUBLICAN ROT.

Lucky indeed are the Little Tin Gods
When Great Jove mods,
But Little Tin Gods make their little
mistakes
When they miss the hour when Great
JoVe wakes"
The Intelligencer quotes from the
eloquent but never seriously-taken
Chauncey NJ. Depew in part as follows:
with the reelection of President Nc
kinley We shall be assured of the con-
t%inuance of the present good times, I'M
precedented in the history OF the country,
as shown by the enormous increase In our
exports, and in the deposits of our saw
ings banks and the fact that all of our
mills and factories have been running to
their fullest extent"
When you feel this way, take a CO.
pious dose of salts. That treatment
will clear up the understanding and
bring about a better conception of ex-
listing conditions. Republicans OF the
Depew and Intelligencer stripe would
Deity Mckinley if they could. In their
opinion, he is the greatest little tin god
that ever was. He causes the rain to
fall, the grass to grow, the seasons to
pass in rotation, and steers the planets
in their orbits. Not a meteor can fall
from the starry sky without the per-
mission or knowledge of the protege
and creature of Mark Hanna, and no
man may buy or sell. marry or give in
marriage, eat, sleep, drink or be merry
without he first turn his face toward
Washington as the believer in the
Prophet does toward Mecca, and give
thanks thrice for every good and per-
feet gift vouchsafed by him who waves
the magic wand and who holds in the
hollow of his hand the destinies of the
American people.
These efforts to elevate William Nc
Kinley, of Canton, o., to the degree of
a demi-god are at once nauseating and
l%aughable, and only serve to arouse the
contempt of the people at large. 1t is
time the lions skin was stripped from
the mar in the White House. Only
an ordinary mortal, owing subservi-
ence to a master, would be revealed.
The people are preparing to remove
the mask.

SISTERSVIlLE.

SISTERSVILLE, June 19.-There was
an interesting time on East Charles
street about midnight last night. Per-
sons in the vicinity of the Hotel Wells
heard cries and screams of murder"
from the direction of the hill, and a
number of people who we're around
rushed up the street to investigate the
matter, thinking a crime was being
committed. About two squares away
they found a woman lying in the mid
die of the muddy road, apparently dead
On investigation it was found that she
was only drunk. The woman's
clothes were almost torn from her
person and her face and clothes were
covered with blood. She looked as
though she had had a terrible fight.
After a little while she was able to
tell about her troubles and her story
was to the effect that she and anoth-
er party had gone out with a couple of
young men for a drive. That they
had drank some beer and whiskey. and
got along all right until almost into the
city on the return trip, when the fell
low she was with made an indecent
proposal to her, and when she refused
he tumbled her out of the carriage and
struck her a number of times. The
matter caused considerable excitement
last night, but the woman's story is
not believed. The general opinion is
that the woman being drunk wanted
to drive around town in that condi-
ton and the young men would not
stand for it. They took her from the
carriage and when she resisted she was
slightly hurt 1t developed this morn
ing that she was a soiled dove named
"Trixie" from Happy Hollow
There is a large amount of build
ing being done in Sistersville at the
present time, an evidence that the

An OF WAR.

Among the kilograms printed yester-
day morning from China was one from
the Shanghai correspondent of the
London Mail, which declared in so
many words that the Chinese garrison
in the Taku forts opened fire upon the
allied squadron in obedience to orders
from Pekin, conveyed in a personal
edict of the Dowager Empress. for
warded by Kang vi, President of the
Ministry of War.
If that be so, it was a deliberate
declaration of wal by China against
the powers, War was not. to be sure,
formally declared in words, but actions
sreake louder than words upon MANY
occasions, and this is one of them.
The order came from the government
at Pekin, and China must henceforth
be treated by the governments of Eu-
rope, America and Japan as an avowed
n open enemy, and additional forces,
both naval and military, must be hur-
ried to the far East, Pekin occupied.
and the Celestial Empire given to un-
derstand, once for all, that others have
rights which that country is bound To
respect. The time for parleying, the
acceptance of specious promises and
halfway measures has gone by. China
must be taught a lesson, and the
sooner the better. The occupation OF
the Taku forts is only the first stem
They will serve well as a base for more
extended operations, and the control
OF Tien-Tsen and a forward movement
upon the capital must follow without
loss of time.
The fate of the foreign ministers al
Pekin Is as yet unknown, but there are
grave reasons to fear that the worst
has happened. If they have been MUIR
dered and the legations burned. as ap-
pears probable at this writing, the end
of China as an Independent nation will
have come. Hundreds of thousands OF
he hated foreigners will occupy hel
cities, her ports will be dominat.
ed by the war ships of seven nations
and not only will adequate vengeance
be taken, but such measures will be
carried out as will forever make if i'm
possible for popular fanaticism and
governmental duplicity and impotency
TO cause a repetition of existing con
ditions.
China under its own rulers appears
to be totally unable to learn by exper.
fence. Three Oh four times she has
felt the heavy hand of the foreigner
upon her. The lesson of 1S5s-so ough,

Japan should have been a warning

The Taku forts, near the mouth Of
the Pei-Ho river, consist of a large
fertilization on the right bank, sew
eral miles back from the water, from
which it is separated by mud fats, and
two smaller forts on the left bank.
The entertainments are principally
composed Of sun-dried mud, but there
are many modern guns, some as large
as 12-inch. There is also a system of
submarine mines in the river. The
garrisons of these forts were drilled
by European officers, and were as eff
cient as it is possible for Chinese SOL
diers to be.

German-Americans and Mckinley

New York Journal.
Communications feel that they have
been misled and betrayed by President
Mckinley" So says Editor Oswald OF
~tendorfer, of the Stats Zeitung.
How could President Mckinley be false
to the German-Americans without being
false to the whole body of American citi-
zens?" Thus comments the startled New
Fork Times.
President Mckinley made no promise
to COMMUNICATIONS that he did not
make to the entire country. Mr.. Often
dorfer is right. The party in power has
not kept faith with the people.
The German-Americans did not bargain
for the sangrene of imperialism. They
did not bargain for the military rule and
civil ruin of Porto Rico. They did not
bargain for the useless war in the Philip
pines, or for the knuckling and trucking
Hay-Pauncefote treaty. or the defeat of
the Nicaragua Canal bill for the sake of
a vast campaign fund.
Commandments are not blind to
these things. They see the evil clearly
and will fight against it at the polls, like
other Americans.
