There is, after all, nothing very re-
assuring in the dipatch from Minister
Conger, printed elsewhere. 1t was put
on the wires 80 miles from Peking, and
so far as Minister Conger is concerned
it may have left Peking many days ago.
officials at the state department do not
claim that 1t left Peking earlier than
August 2, which is most optimistic
view. Several days earlier may be
closer and there is still the suspicion
that the message, as well as some that
preceded it, are not from Conger ut
all. 1t is a notorious fact that the
Chinese are in possession Of the code
of the department Of state and 1t Is
impossible now to change the code so
far as Minister Conger is concerned.
If word cannot be had from him the
same difficulty would be encountered in
getting word to him and the code could
readily be held up en- route. The situa-
tion is not much improved by this latest
dispatch, though some entertain the
view that all will be found to be well
when the relief column reaches Pek-
ing. ..,,. .t.L

but mildly protested that he had ex-
ceeded the limit. For instance he had
once walloped her soundly because she
could mot see a squirrel he was trying to
point out in tree. Upon another oc-
casion she was smartly thrashed be-
cause she would not wash a buggy
that they might drive to church, where
Spenser was to sing in the choir.
The neighbors made the complaint
that led to the trial, insisting that un-
less the law repressed Spenser they
would, and broadly limited that they
would use very effectual measures.
Spenser pleaded his own case, but was
sentenced to pay fine and to repose
several weeks in jail. He will appeal
the case.

LONDON is DAZED.
American Financiers Capture
Half of England's New War
Loan at One Fell SwOOp.

London, Aug. S-America's capture
of half of England's new war loans
has fairly dazed financial circles in
London. The allotment Of s5,00O,00O
Of her majesty's bonds to the Barring
and Morgan syndieates was already q
fact before conservative Britishers had
fully weighed the desirability Of in
vesting in the new securities. They
have spent the day debating whether
the governments alacrity' to dispose Of
the bonds or the audacity OF America
in securing them, should be the object
of their wrath.
While "the city" was taking q bank
holiday ON Monday New York capital
lists kept the cable humming. When
the local financiers returned to theiI
desks on Tuesday morning Sir Michael
Hicks Beach. chancellor OF the exche-
quer, greeted them with the announce

THE FIELD OF ARGUMENT.
Some Born With Gold Spoon in the Mouh-North Caro-
lima Election-No Fixed MaoritiesThe Administration
on Tral-Roosevelt and Kentucky Conspirators
BY A. M'GREGoR.

In the field Of argument must diff
ferent lines of thought and policies
contend in order to secure public at
tention and favor. With the facilities,
these days Of reaching the popular
mind, the results of discussion are more
prompt than formerly, or at least ought
to be. 1t must be admitted, however,
that these very facilities are often used
to lead public judgment away from
truth and justice, personal interest
controlling and with the means to COM
mand the advantages.
The old saying Is, "Some are born
with gold spoons in the mouth and
some with a horn spoon or nothing"
We are confident that neither Of the
prominent candidates for president
were born with gold spoon in the
mouth literally, while both gentlemen
may have been born with fair, good
luck, in store. One Of the twain was
elected four years ago and the other
will be this year, probably. One is
now a gold man undoubtedly and un-
equivocally; and the other fayors the
common good and both metals believ-
Ing In the principle of equal rights and
equal opportunities, and 16 to 1. He
thinks that bond holders and all money
magnates are no better than other peo-
pie and are not entitled to special
favors. He does not believe In our gov
ernment making class distinctions as in
royal and imperial countries. This is
our Bryan.
We doubt not that our Republican
friends have heard from North Caro-
lima where an election came Off on the
End inst, when the Democrats had
about 10000 majority, making very
clean sweep. Our friends are doubt
less aware that there Is trouble in In
diana, and that Kentucky and Mary
land are very sure for Bryan and
Democracy. Bryan too has a good
prospect in New York, to say nothing
of other states heretofore considered
reliably Republican. In this country
there is no such a thing as a fixed ma
jority. Ex-President Harrison was de-
feated for reelection eight years ago
when his friends were quite sure of
his success. The Mckinley tariff meas
ure of 1890 and the Sherman purchas-
ing and coinage bill Of the same year
did not save Mr.. Harrison, although
tHdl was Tic cApcCthtiOh. 1huCSub VIC
believe Mr.. Harrison blamed the Nc
Kinley tariff for his defeat and the
hard times. Wool declined right along
under the Mckinley tariff and this dis
gusted the wool growers. The fact is,
in 1892 1t was not Cleveland that was
elected SO much as Harrison was de-
feated. .."'" p,
1t is not William J. Bryan's ad-
ministration that is on trial with the
American people as the jury, but that
Of William Mckinley. This should not
be forgotten and a heavy load has the
Republican garty undertaken in all
this. Many eminent Republicans rea-
lize this heavy load, some Of them out
spoken and some Of them not. In the
latter class we may name ex-Speaker
Reed, but he Is by no means alone, for
they number thousands as will be seen
when the votes are counted in Novern-
Der. The outspoken opponents are
numerous and all over the country

Washington, Aug. 9.-The census re-

INDIANS MAY GO TO MEXICO.
Claim the United States Does
Not Give Them Land
Enough.

City Of Mexico, Aug. 9.-Six full
blooded Indians from the Indian Ter
ritory have arrived here.
They represent the Shawnees, Della
wares and Caddos, and are comforting
with the Mexican government regard
ing a concession which will enable them
to settle their respective tribes In
Mexico, and become Mexican citizens.
Their complaint Is that the United
States government does not give them
land enough to live upon.

Mr.. Bryan, is the same candid, bold
leader he was in 1895. He very politely
informed the people of the country that
the Democrats had control of the city
government at important points and
that, while they did not intend to en-
ploy any corrupt means they intended
to see that nobody else did. Possibly
it was that speech that sent Chairman
Hanna off to New England to get more
help.

The reports over the News-Demo-
Gratis leased wire, Wednesday, to the
effect that the Chinese had backed
down to the extent of offering free
communication with Minister Conger, Is
the best bit Of news that has yet come
from the nebulous Orient. Now let 1t
be followed up without delay. 1t ought
not to take long, and 1t ought not to
be consented to that the message come
from Tsi Nan, 80 miles from the loca-
tion Of the legations. This Mole St.
Nicholas route Of hearing from an ac-
credited minister will not suffice with
the American people, however well the
government may be satisfied about 1t.
