Another Session.

Philadelphia Times.
The usual story Is repeated in the dis
solution of the wall paper trust. The d.
rectors of the National Wall Paper Com
pany have resolved to disband their or
ganization, for the reason that the re-
straints it undertook to put upon the
trade have SO stimulated competition that
the combination is no longer profitable,
particularly as the business is one in
which individual taste is more important
than economy of production alone.
This is only one of many indications
that the tendency to industrial combina-
tons has overreached ITSELF and the pro-
cess of disntegration has begun. Com
paratively few of the portentious trusts
chartered in New Jersey last year have
even organized and some of them have
already gone to pieces. Under the inevi-
table laws of trade such movements are
self-limited when they are not protect
ed by artificial legislation, under the
forms of tariffs and special privileges.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July At is
the Fourth of July and the opening day
of the Democratic national convention.
After all the heat and turmoil of pre-
paration the day is here. All roads
lead to the convention hall, where, at
IL o'clock Chairman Jones, of the ma
tional committee, called the convention
to order.
Throughout the night there has been
no sleep, for the sky has been lurld
and the sound deafening from rockets
and cannon and every conceivable de-
vice of noisy demonstration. And with
the daylight the shock has increased
into one long-continued roar, in which
the patriotism Of the day and the en-
thusiasm OF the party are blended. Inc
heat was still intense, and the brisk
breeze did not relieve the oppressive
ness of the day.
Early the crowds began to turn to-
ward Convention Hall and all the ap-
proaches to the vast edifice were filed
with an eager and excited throng,
surging toward the many entrances,
and seeking to gain early admission
to the building. With them came
bands, marching clubs and drum corps,
and to the confusion of their crash and
hurrah was added the constant crack.
boom, sizz of bombs and crackers as
the convention enthusiasts and the
small boy view with each other in
celebrating the day.
The Surrounding Streets
presented the appearance of a State
fair under full Roadway, with scores
of tents and improvised restaurants
giving evidence that a good share of
this sweltering mass which has des-
cended upon the town is living upon

4 TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS.

A TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
The news from China steadily and
rapidly grows worse. There is not only
state OF war, but war of worldwide
proportions.
Not even the conditions which con-
fronted Europe from 1898 to 1916 can
be compared to the war cloud now en-
veloping Pagan and Christian alike, and
no man can see the end of that catas-
trophy which is apparently upon us.
That China has declared war against
the united nations is not longer to be
doubted. That the representatives of
the powers in Pekin have all been kill
ed. together with their guards and at
taches, is not only probable, but within
a hairs breadth of absolutely certain.
The allied troops, now landed, al
though numbering about sixteen
thousand, are too weak to go forward,
and there is grave reason to fear that
Tien Tsin must be abandoned and re-
treat made to the coast, under the pro-
lection of the guns of the war ships,
until sufficient army can be impro-
vised to take the field with some show
of success. Fifty thousand men may
hold the present ground, but they are
not there, and reliance must be placed
upon Japan until Russia and Germany
and England and France, and the
United States and Italy and Austria
and Belgium can meet the exigencies of
the situation. But 1t will take a quar-
ter OF million men to make Roadway
against the countless hordes of pagans
who will presently swarm down the
valley of the Pei-Ho, and if the south
ern provinces rise, OF which there is
grave danger, the difficulties of the sit
uation will be vastly increased.
The long dreaded and often predict
ed rising of the yellow race appears to
be fact. 1t should be met upon that
basis, and upon no other. Half way
measures will no longer meet the re-
quirement of the case.

Nearly a month has passed since that

removed During this interval we have
waited for some Indication that the gov
eminent was really in earnest in its de-
sire to bring Nicely to trial. We confess
that the delay which has ensued is cali
culated to arouse suspicion. Time and
time again have the preliminary proceed
ings been postponed, and Nicely is still
in this country, with his trial apparent
~ as far distant as when he was arrest
ed.
1t is naturally asked further what has
caused the delay, and If anybody is act

In the hollow Of this bowl, the real bus

Raised about two feet above this
stone arc, the platform juts

rhe platform is fanked on each side

gavel is to fall upon a strange wooden

elegance, while the lesser officials,
