Such is the prediction freely made now
with respect TO the republican ha'ioiia'

and it is answering as text for much STIR

No ore can deny that the republicans
have reason for feeling very comforlapie'
They undoubtedly made the most OF their
opportunities at Philadelphia, and exhibited
there A unity of spirit and purpose on the
questions of larger moment which II sus-

II is true. also that the conditions of bust
ness and the general state of the country
are heartening to the republicans Bust
ness is booming and the country is ship

earth have a profounder respect for the
American name and influence than ever
before and at home here nothing now re-

General Wheeler wearing a blue suit and
sword at Chicago. surely il must be admit

are reunited. and the man who did so much
by tact and kindness toward that noble
fruition is the present occupant of the
White House.
But bright as the outlook now is for
them. the republicans will be most unwise
if they permit themselves to be lulled by it
into any sort of overconfdence or repose.

much may be packed by the opposition, is

Mob or Arnlyf

The character of the forces opposing the
advance of the international army at Tien
Tsin remains in doubt. Rear Admiral
Kempff has referred to them as the Chi
nese army" Unofficial dispatches have
tended to verify this suggestion. and the
fact that artillery is in their possession
tends strongly to Indicate that the inn
perial troops are warning openly with the
foreign contingent. This If true, makes a
state of war between China and the pow
ers. But so startling is this assumption. In
the absence of any definite declaration or
war by China, with her ministers still at
their posts at the capitals of the powers.
that 1t will require positive information to
clinch the belief. One dispatch of TO-DAY
states that arms and ammunition have
been imported into China stealthily by the
anti-foreign organizations for the past
three years. This would account for
the small arms in the hands of the native
forces at Tien Tsin, but not for the artil-
lery. 1t may be assumed that all the heavy
guns in China have been. If they are not
now. the property Of the Chinese govern
ment. They may. of course, have been cap
tured by the rioters. who seem to have
more definite organization than was at first
suspected. Or there may have been con-
nivance between the government ana the
Boxers. suggested by the tenor of some
of the official proclamations. The Ameri-
can admiral might easily be misled by the
appearance of a great mass of natives
fighting with large and small arms into
assuming himself opposed by the imperial
troops themselves. The use of the word
army by Admiral Kempf need not be
conclusively accepted as yet. 1t Is. of
course immaterial as regards the actual
work of warfare whether the opposing
force is a rabble or an army. as long as
the fighting is fierce. The business in hand
is for the powers to crush the opposition.
and the preparations on all sides show
united determination to make sure of this
result.

1t is fortunate, the whole. for Admiral
Dewey that his belated announcement Of
his willingness to accept nomination to
the presidency has made little impress
sion upon the public mind Since its APP
pearance 1t has been practically ignored In
political quarters. and 1t has died out so
quietly with the public that It is hard to
say when his candidacy ceased to be fac
tor in our political affairs. This renders
Dewey. to the next generation and to those
which are to follow only a naval character.
He will stand very high there, and there
will be something approaching oblivion for
any ambition that he had beyond ii. His
tory will make no account Of the episode in
politics which he was seduced into attempts
ing the present year, and he is really to be
congratulated that 1t has assumed no
greater prominence.

Inspect the Tracks.
From the Philadelphia Press.

The dreadful accident on the Southern
railroad near Atlanta, Ga. in which the
destruction of life and rolling stock was I'M
fortunately all too complete, calls attention
once more to the need of constant track
Inspection. Without this disciplined vigil
lance any emergei6y caused by human or
natural agency may cause a Serious acct
dent That washouts had occurred on con-
Meeting lines was known and that the storm
conditions were favorable to further wash
outs must have been apparent. Without
equipped track inspection. however, all ap-
prehension of what might happen would
be simply a waste of mental effort and
without effect. The deaths being mostly
those resident in Georgia will doubtless stir
up local sentiment and unquestionably will
end in reforms if 1t is found that easy-go-
ing management was at fault.

Washington has just had practical
Illustration of the fact that the burglar is
a potential murderer and in consequence
the argument in favor of including this
among the capital crimes is strengthened.
A policeman accosted a man who was
prowling in the night around residence
in a semi-suburb of the city and his answer
was a fortunately harmless pistol shot. In
a tussle following the policeman was
knocked senseless by blow from iron
bar and might easily have been killed.
Thus appears anew the disposition of the
thief who works at night to prevent cap
ture or identification by resort to muir
der. He is always armed. He will make
no assault if unmolested, but when dis
turbed in his thieving he becomes a des-
perate creature, ready to Stay. The law
should surely be more severe in treating
with this class of malefactors. Rigorous as
it Is the punishment for housebreaking at
night does not cover the serious menace to
life involved in the burglars vocation. He
deliberately assumes the risk of life and
death when he enters house. He should
face the ultimate penalty when he places
himself in a position to become muir
derer. Whether he shoots or not he Is a
far more dangerous man than the miser-
able wretch who in moment Of rage takes
a life Society should not be forced to
wait until the housebreaker actually kills
before imposing on him the ultimate PEN
atty. 1t should take at least one lesson
from the harsh practices of the law of
former generations and punish with death
the act which is deliberately committed
and which carries with 1t a constant men
ace of the killing of innocent. defenseless

Minister WI.


The gentle and cheerful optimism of the
Chinese minister here, who thinks the
storm at home will not amount to much
and that it all arises out of a misunder-
standing makes pleasant reading and does
no end of credit to his amiable spirit and
polite international sentiments, and every
body will hope that he takes just view Of
the situation. If all the Chinese were like
their capable and accomplished amba ssador
here there would not be the least foreign
difficulty in getting on with them nor in
putting their country in line with modern
methods of progress and development.

GriInly Humorous.
From the Chicago Post.

There is something grimly humorous in
the request made by Ii Hung Chang that
the powers shall not act hastily. He
would have them cease sending troops to
China and leave the settlement of the mat
ter to him, when the trouble at present Is
due largely to the fact that too much re-
lance was placed on the Chinese govern
ment. By all means let us sit down and
talk the matter over 1t is. of course i'm
material that many Christians are under
fire and the fate Of others is unknown.
