and gray cioaks are among the few sub

the Queen of Sheba would find it hard to
surpass.
Priscilla certainly showed her good sense
in her advice to John Alden and she also
had good taste in dress, for nothing in

WHY CALLED BOXERS.
Cincinnati Commercially

The New York Sun gives 1t UP
something the Sun seldom ever does.
And when the Sun gives it up it's q
hard one. This one is about the Chin
csc Boxers, certainly n tough PROPOSE
ton. The Sun informs those who seek
for an intcrpretion of Boxers" now
trying TO get rid of the foreigners. that
The word is unexplained. The Boxers
sprang into prominence so suddenly
in China that it is difficult to learn
Just who they are or exactly what they
stand for. The Chinese Minister at
Washington said. the other day, that
he HAD never heard of them. There
Is no alusion to them in any of the
standard books on China. When the
lierau are prominent in any society
that starts an anti-foreign agitation
the fact is usually made conspicuous
but nothing has been heard of the edu-
Gated class among the Boxers. a mis-
sionary wrote some time ago that the
Boxers are also known as the Society
OF the Great Sword. but that doesn't
explain how they came to be called
Boxers.
But while these Boxers are still a
mystery to the Chinese Minister. who
says they were never heard of in
China up to the time OF his departure
from the country, three years ago. u
Chncse-American named Sun Vow
Papg ventures an explanation of their
origin in the New York Herald. Ac-
cording to his definition, they arc the
Know Nothing party of China. Their
motto is China for the Chinese.
Their titular shibboleth is "Yu lie
Chuan." according TO this Chinese Sun
namely, Sun Vow PanG, and his inter
probation of this is righteousness, horn
ing. and fists, hence Boxers. They
arose as an aid to the Empress i'm her
controversy with the young Emperor
and her opposition to his reforms, and
In consequence her present sympathy
with them is natural. Their mission
appears to be the establishment OF
peace in China by the house burning
process. The appellation may, there
fore, have u double significance, that
of applied pugllksln and that from the
preparation OF their opponent fol

convention over this question, which has
assumed prime Importance. The nomi-
nations for governor and treasurer go
by default, as do the nominations for su-
preme court judges, in all probability.
There will be a contest over the choice
OF a candidate for secretary OF state but
as the delegates are being strongly i'm
pressed by the party leaders with the alb
solute necessity of nominating ga Swede'
for this office. 1t is probable that the
contest will be narrowed to candidates
of Swedish birth or descent. In fact
the Importance of such recognition Of
''the Swedes," as the Republican leaders
term them, has been so strongly urged,
that it looks as though the Republican
convention will regard the accident of
birth as paramount to fitness or every
ether consideration
But the contest over the nomination for
secretary of state sinks into insignifi-
canoe before the battle-royal over the
railroad commissionerships. By the
time the commissioners have been named
there will have been engendered more
bad blood than has been caused by a Re
publican state convention since the turn
ing down of A. R. McGilI in 1883.

the charges which they make in certain
directions. One Of the provisions of the
new Minneapolis measure sets forth the
maximum charges that shall be made for
street car, telephone, lighting, and other
municipal service, as follows: 'For
lighting service, gas, $1.2O per 1000 cubic
feet until Jan. 1, 1903 and after that
time $1.1O; electricity, Is cents per 1000
watt hours; for telephone service, in
business houses, full metallic circuit, S48
year; in residences, metallic circuit, $24
a year. This is in force when the bills
are paid before the 10th Of the month.
For street railway service, single fares,
5 cents, six tickets for % cents, with the
right to the proper transfer"
1t will be deeply interesting to all stu
dents of municipal government to OBJ
serve the fate of this instrument when
it has been submitted to popular approx

ideas prevalent among the voting popula-
ton can save a document containing such

vanced conceptions of the duties and

in an Address.
LONDON, June 27.-Nearly 100 American
engineers were guests this evening at the
Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the
occasion being the annual banquet of that
institution. United States Ambassador
Cheate, responding to the toast, ITO the
Health of the Americans" referring to
the wonders of mechanical ingenuity,
said:
THE president of the United States sit
ting in the White house, and Lord Sails
bury, sitting at the foreign office, can
send orders that within twenty-four hours
will set in motion cruisers at Manila or
off the coast of India that may go side
by side to put down an explosion of me-
ideval barbarism."
Referring to the benefits Of international
courtesies. Mr.. ChOate said
"All we want Is to know each other bet
ter, and the more we know of one an
other, take my word for it, the better We
Will ike one another. 1 belieYe that as
time rolls on these thousand ties Of mu-
tual interest, the threads of a great inter
national skein which binds the two peoples
will come closer, always making for
peace and civilization, until the peoples
are knit together by subtle, imperceptible
strength. We have lived eighty-five years
in peace, and we may we'll look forward
to another eighty-fve years Of peace"

The withdrawal Of the sheriff's officers
from service in ST Louis seems to offer
ample assurance that the great contest
between the local street railway system
and it's former employees has come to an
end, at least so far as violence and blood
shed are concerned.
It is difficult to believe that in this age
such scenes Of brutal warfare could have
prevailed in an enlightened community
in the settlement of a private dispute.
It is still further difficult to believe that
the suppression of the riot and rowdy-
ism born of that dispute would have been
for any time whatever beyond the control
of the local police.
But such are the facts; and it is proba-
bly, true that if the governor had not in
tervened, and if the prospect of the call
ing out of the state troops had not been
presented to view, the end would not
have been reached even at this time
The prospect of the busses run by the
men proving to be a permanently success
full business venture is certainly quite re-
mote, judging from the ultimate result
of like ventures in the past But their
maintenance viii, for the present. at least,
fulfill a valuable end. 1t will help to show
to the carrying corporation, in the only
way in which a corporation is convinced,
that the public must be counted on in
all such controversies, and that the side
which shows least consideration for the
public will and interest is the one which
will suffer most severely in the end. If
the maintenance of the buses is effec-
tive in Withholding sufficient public sup
port from the car company to make the
operation of it's cars decidedly unprofita-
bic, it will show more of a disposition to
adjust matters on an amicable basis The
men, on the other hand will soon learn
that the dependence which is placed for
bus running is rarely if ever well found
ed
The great end achieved is that the pub
lie is left free choice to patroniza one side
OF TIC Ojitci, anu Is no longer embarrassed
or endangered in the transaction of its
business. The struggle will go with the
many more which have preceded it to
teach serse in the course of time to the
community. While it remains possible,
during the prevalence of industrial diff
ferences, to destroy life and property
without molestatlon by public authority,
such scenes win accompany every ssri-
GUS struggle of this character. When all
is said, one side is as deep in the nire OF
pubic violence as the other is in the mud
of contempt for public safety and con-
venience 1t viii not be long before the
public recognizes this truth, and treats
the combatants in all such cases as it
would treat private malefactors Of any
kind.
