tirely through misrepresentation. aud
possibly partly through our fault W.
intend to he entirely innocent of drclar
ing that this government should not -
Ia China To defend its citizens. For w
believe that it should go To the ends OF
the earth il necessary To protect even a
single American citizen. American citi.
Gems wherever they may he scattered on
the face of the earth should feel the pro
tecting care of their own government.
The world should he taught To respect
American citizenship. 1t should have as
much potency as did the words IL am a
Roman citizen" when backed by an EN-
pire of imperial and imperious prestige.
To have the world understand that a
proud aud potent government cares
everything for the humblest of its citi-
Zens does more TO cultivate individual
pride and loyalty than any other eharac-
teristic of a government can. SO that
wherever an American citizen goes his
government goes with him to protect
him. And SO if it is necessary to go to
China to protect even the humbleSt of
its citizens let the government go there
and speak as loud AS artillery and with
as sharp expression as flaming guns can
produce. But when it has done that let
it return and attend to its own affairs.
If your neighborS abuse members of
your family go over there with proper
chastisement but when that is accom-
rlished go about your own business and
don't stop to fence off portion of his
farm or to NEEDLE with his business or
insist on an "open door" through which
yon can drive his best pigs, cattle, horses

they could be made to appear to he its
chie1 purpose, and its real purpose APP
pear to he the unavoidable result of it's
humanity and benevolence. The exer-
else OF benevolence, humanity or charity
does not always proceed in the direction
of wealthy mines, rich possessions or the
conquest of another people. 1t would
be grand sight to see Uncle Sam sail

respect for American citizenship. but
ignoble for him to make that pretext

1t is all nice and interesting to read
figures relating to the probabilities of
the result of the coming presidential
election; figures founded on compari-
son OF the strength Of localities, and prob
abilities based on the past action of diff
ferent states; but it seems to us that
probabilities based on general features
are more reliable. To illustrate: We
know how New England will 90 and
what her inducements are. We can
judge of the middle states not quite as
definitely but with fair degree of GER
talnty, as also of the South. Now
Bryan's hope has been and is in the
West and Southwest, and it would be
very singular if the Pacific states having
been so closey in touch with rich com
merce, which the new order of things
has made them feel :he benefit of, would
not move them along with the admins
tration party Besides all large and
corporate interests are with that party.
Large interests like Carnegie and Rock
Teller, and interests like Jones of New
Hampshire. But it is said that these
are the rich who are growing richer and
that they will be met and overcome bv
the people, the poor who are GROWING
poorer all the time. Bosh The people
who differ with the administration can
act nowhere except with it; for those
composed of the agrarian, communis-
tic, revolutionary and other like senti
ments will crowd between them and the
polls with such density and push that
the only way loyal people can get to the
polls will be behind the administration
party, which will be backed by the
heavy business interests of the country.
a numerous individual hope of sharing
in the public gains, the ambition of
millions in military and civic promotion
and the prestige of a forecasted impress
sion that it is going to win, which is
nearly always a sure prophecy. SO that

insisting Npon the EXTREMIST and most
vicious doctrines, relieved by some more
tolerable, and some worthy Of approval

cally asserting itself, just so long will

Military Reception.

San Francisco, June 5.-After FIVE
days in quarantine at Angel island,
Maj. Gen. L. S. Otis, who arrived last
Wednesday from Manila, was allowed
to land. Several cases o. smallpox on
board the transport Meade were the
cause Of the Quarantine. and Gen.
Otis and all on board had to submit
to vaccination.
Gen. Otis was brought over from
Angel island on a speciaI steamer fur
nIshed by Gen. Shafter, who went to
meet the returning general, accom-
panied by Surgeon Maj. Arthur and
Capt. Wilson. The party was driven
to the Occidental hotel, where Gen.
Otis spent some time in receiving
callers and preparing for his depart
ure east. 1t had been decided to re-
ceiye Gen. Otis here with fun mill
tary hOnOrs, but for some reason this
ceremony was omitted.
