ERRING HUMANITY.


In Chicago a large number of con-
fding souls are mourning the depart
ure of Frand A. Stauber, who disap-
peared, taking with him a large
amount of money not his own, and
leaving no available assets behind.
The case is the old one of implicit
confidence in an incompetent and dis
honest man, doing business for years
under false colors and being in reality
anything but what he outwardly APP
peared. He was an old citizen of the
town. No man stood higher, either for
personal honesty or business capacity.
He was an Alderman, and had the rep
utation of being absolutely incorrupta
exceptional man, and many people
placed their affairs and their cash in
his hands. He was often executor, adj
ministrator, assignee trustee, etc. The
settlement of estates was left in his
hands, and rich men left to him the
execution of their wills, the purchase
Of cemetery lots, the erection of monu-
ments and the Strengthening out of
affairs generally.
Now this man, in whom everybody
had confidence, has fed, and his affairs
are in hopeless tangle A receiver
has been appointed, and he is scratch
ing his head by day and lying awake
of nights, in the endeavor to bring
some sort of order out of the supreme
confusion. He can't tell whether the
fugitive was solvent or insolvent, and
apparently Mr.. Stauber didn't know
himself. He appears to have simply
ran things along until he became hope
lessly entangled, and then took what
ready cash there was on hand and quit
the game. The case is rather a strange
one, at least in some of its features,
and there is a moral connected with
the story somewhere.

WHAT NEXT IN CHINA.

AS to China the primary object OF the
powers has been accomplished. The
imperial city of Peking-the Forbid
den City''-is in their hands as it
was in the hands of the British and
French troops in 1860, the legationers
have been rescued and are under m
ternational protection, and such of the
missionaries, men and women, who
sought the shelter of the compounds
defended by the rifles of the marines
and consular guards are assured of
their lives and of safe conduct to their
homes.
The question now is, what next? It
appears certain that large proportion
of China must be policed by the ma
tons for some time to come. What
part is America going to play in the
aftermath? There are three distinct
centres Of warfare or disturbance. In
the northern part Of Manchuria Rus

A SIGN OF IMPERIALISM.

Those who hold to the belief thai
people should be ruled by those claim
ing a Divine right" have ever been
afraid of popular expression of oDia-
ion. The fact was, perhaps, best eXem-
pliied in France a little over a CEN
fury ago, but when the people arose in
their might there was dreadful period
of reckoning for those who had only
lived to levy taxes upon the common
herd and enjoy luxurious life upon
the proceeds. A King, a Queen, and
innumerable courtiers and great men
by title lost their heads, and through
blood until the cutters of Paris, aI1
Lyons, and Marseilles, and Toulon and
other cities ran with it, the people tri-
umphed and liberty, equality and fra
ternity became the watchwords OF a
great nation, and still remain

A menace to whom? Congress is

the power to execute 1t. The private

gress tomorrow by the votes of his fell
low citizens, to whom they delegate
full authority to make war and peace,
to conclude treaties, to levy taxes, 70

our ports and to see that our interests
generally are conserved. Why should

Mckinley tell the country that in tue

Presumably Mr.. Smith would go to the
extreme employed by lie petit Emper-

the country around Picking the inter
practical purposes are still at war. In
Middle China, about Shanghai, in the
Kiang Valley. there is grave danger,
both from Chinese uprising and
from international jealousies. Troops
are being landed there by several ma
tions in response to the appeal of the
consuls, while from the immediate in
terror come 'ominous rumors of COM
ing trouble.
The United States has gained its
point of insistance upon forcible COM
munication with Minister Conger. He
/ is now in free touch with our govern
ment. But the end is not yet reached.
For instance, shall we keep Mr.. Conger
at Peking and protect him with an
army, or shall he be withdrawn to
Tien Tsin or Taku, or from the country
altogether? If he remains at Picking,
from which the Imperial Government
appears to have fled, our forces must
stay there. They may even have to be
reinforced. If that programme is fol-
lowed out we must maintain a perma-
nent base of supplies at Taku, keep
some garrison at Tien Tsin and hold,
either by ourselves or in. conjunction
with the powers, Line of commune
cation to the capital. 1t may even be
that strong detachment must be
landed at Shanghai to preserve the bal
ance and care for American interests
in that quarter.
The problem is a tangled one. If
international harmony can be secured
and joint occupancy of the capital
maintained until China becomes set
tied down to peace and indemnity is
arranged it will be a comparatively
easy task. But if international jeal-
ousies interpose, or China elects to
carry on warfare, either in the north
or south, if England insists upon para
mount influence, if Germany insists
upon revenge for the murder of its
minister, or if Russia persists in the
conquest Of Manchuria, or Japan, pre-
ponderating in fighting men, should
take a notion to something still in
tangible, complications will ensue in
which the United States will inevitably
become mixed up. 1t is yet too early
to forecast results, for the facts are
not fully known, and the scene shifts,
to certain extent, from day to day.
If America can obtain proper guar
antees from the powers and from China
we can withdraw with honor and
credit. If not, our forces will have to
remain for an indefinite period.

THE Kentucky CASE


The case of the State of Kentucky
V, Caleb Powers, ex-Secretary of State.
has been closed at Georgetown with
verdict of guilty and a recommendation
that he be sentenced to the penitentiary
for life. The jury was unanimous on
the first ballot, and the Republican
member has been at pains to express
his opinion that the defendant was
guilty. Three other members of the
jury were anti-Goebel Democrats, and
they were of the same belief. This ends
the first step in fixing the guilt Of
the murderer of Governor Goebel. In
time the next case will be called, and
the State authorities will not rest un-
til the entire plot has been unraveled
and the guilty parties punished through
the verdict of jury. The trial of
Powers was fair one. The defense
had every opportunity, but the defend
ant virtually convicted himself out of
his own mouth, and has no cause for
complaint.
