SHANGHAI, August 2.-Public opin-
ion and the foreign press at the treaty
ports are alarmed at the possibility
that the Chinese would prevail upon
the powers to consent to the establish
ment of peace without inficting pun
ishment betting the Chinese govern
ment's crime. Officials, persons en-
gagged In commercial pursuits and mis-
sionaries of ali nationalities are re-
ularkably united. They believe Pekin
should be destroyed as an object les
son, ard that il the uynasty Is contin-
ned, it should be forced to establish the
capital at some accessible city, the Am
orleans suggesting Nankin. This is
considered important, as the Chinese
always believed that China defeated the
powers in 1860 because the capital re-
NAMED intact. 1t is also thought
that guarantees to prevent excessive
armament should be demanded and
that China should be compelled pub
licly and definitely, to renounce the
fiction that the foreign ministers are
representatives of tributary powers.
There is strong demand for unusual
punishment, like the destruction of the
Kings tombs.
THE American and English mission
aries NadvocaIe a programme similar
tc the foregoing.
GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE.
All foreigners believe that the Chin
csc government engineered the out
breaks and is trying to cali off it's
troops afer th9 downfall of Tien Tsin,
and the receipt of reports that the
powers are Sanding armies to China.
A German legation telegram, saying
that the ,bombardment of the legations
ceased On July II, supports this theory.
The foreigners think that the min
is1ars Us sut1spad should, if rescued,
conduct the Saftlement win the gov
eminent fer the effect it would have On
the populace.
An intensely bitter feeling prevails
against Ii Hung Chang. The papers
denounced the honor paid him at
Hong Kong and Shanghai and call
him the most corrupt anti-foreign
official in China and express the be-
lief that he proposes to save China
from the penalty of her acts by en-
broiling The powers.
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
The destruction OF foreign property
continues. United States Consul Fow-
Ter estimates that the losses of the
American mission amount to $780,

pension of trade are enormous.

Shall We Annex the Philip
pines?

To extend our constitution to the
Filipinos makes them one with us,
gives them n tariff against all nations
and admits their products free to our
ports. 1t gives them the rights Of
statehood, with an electoral vote double
that of Pennsylvania; or IL they choose
to Join their dusky brethren south Of
Mason and Dixons line they may in
tensify threefold that thorn already
ranking in the flesh Of the body poll
tic. They could also as citizen greatly
endanger the overstrained relations Of
capital and labor. To keep them under
n territorial form of government is only
temporary makeshift Of an embryonic
state.
Self-government is the one and only
method of safety and satisfaction to
us and to them. The sooner we hold
out to them the olive branch Of peace,
with the assurance of our protection
from the unreasonable nggressions Of
other nations, the better 1t will be for
them and for us and for nll peoples
now dreaming of liberty and Of inde-
pendence from the sway of the scepter
of the despot. We drove them to war
by demanding their submission, when
we should have invited pence by ask
ing, "How can we help you to the best
possible type Of civilization" Let US
admit our folly and make amends by
new departure more In keeping with
the philosophy Of the Prince Of Peace.

Shall Cuba Be Free7

II the people OF Cuba ''are and OF
right ought to be free" rs Congress de.
clared, and ns President Mckinley
affirmed, with his official signature
why are they still kept under the heel
of an American military despotism?
The island has been pacified fol-
many months. The people have long
been ready and anxious to undertake
the formation OF an independent gov.
ernment. They have been prevented
from doing this only by the Republl-
can President and his armed forces.
Press dispatches from Cuba Indicate
that the Cuban people have lost faith
In the United States. They are repre-
sented as feeling gloomy over the out
look and they apprehend that IL Mr..
Mckinley shall be reelected the for
chile annexation of Cuba Will follow.
1t is known that n vigorous nnnexa-
tion propaganda is being conducted
from Washington, and that this propa-
gnndn is in Republican hands. 1t Is
understood that Republican money is
being used in carrying 1t forward. 1t
is believed that Mr.. Mckinley Is thus
paving the way for coup in the event
of reelection.
OF course some pretext for ignoring
the nations pledge will be needed, but
1t will not be far to seek. The army
will find 1t easy enough to provoke suf-
ficient discomfort to excite IN uprising.
And then the rest will be a matter Of
course.

A Strong Ticket.

The Democratic ticket Is n winning
ticket. The candidates are bringing to
1t unexpected strength from unexpect-
ed sources. 1t is ticket that appeals
to the man who earns his daily bread
by honest toll. 1t Is ticket that puts
hope in the hearts Of the plain people,
because it is convincing proof that
from the Democratic party can the
men and women who travel the low
lier walks of life hope for political
recognition. There are no kld-gloved
or patent-leathered men on the list, but
every man there Is daily contributor
in some effective way to the upbulld-
ing of Colorado. They may not pos.
sess the earmarks Of a trencherous po-
litical boss, and will not go into office
wearing the dog collar of any man; but
they will go in determined to bend ev-
cry energy they possess toward prov
ing their gratitude that from among SO
many capable men they were selected
to carry the party banner and lead the
way to an overwhelming vlctory.-C

Up to the Voters

The people of Colorado have loEe
been demanding that we be given Il
business man for governor. The de-
mand of the people was echoed by the
Republican press In the days preced-
Ing the nominating conventions. These
papers declared that n lawyer or n
professional politician would not an
swer the needs of the state or the de
mands of the people. The Democracy.
in convention assembled. nominated,
in the person of James B. Orman, a
business mnn, just what the people
had demanded. The Republican party,
when Its convention met, proceeded to
do Just what the people said must moi
be done, nominated not only n lawyer
but a professional politician as well.
The people now have chance to
make good their desires. AS between n
political manipulator and n lawyer, on
the one side, and business man pure
and simple, they may now make their
choice. It's now up to the voter.-Vic

A Taste Of Imperialism.

Not every one is ready to give an
opinion about the fnr-off islands Of the
sea, whether they should belong to this
country or not, but In Colorado we are
given a taste of Imperialism in prac-
teal experience that renders the mean
Ing of the term clear and unmistakable.
Practical politics In Colorado begins
and ends with E. o. Wolcott. He has
the power vested In wealth. He Is
greedy for still more power. He wants
to represent the people Of Colorado,
willing or unwilling. Every one who
has paid any attention to the matter
knows that he has laid his plans for
the past year by playing upon human
nature that is too weak to resist the
power of gain. By stupendous effort
to stir up party zeal on the one hand
and dealing out great chunks of pros
perity on the other, he intends to car
ry himself back into Congress. All he
wants is power. He is an embodiment
of would-be Imperialism. The great
state of Colorado ought to be able to
get along without him, for the prosperi-
ty he offers is degrading.-Idaho

Mckinley Hauls Down the Flag

By the courtesy of William McKin-
ley, our imperial president, the richest
gold placer mines In Alaska have been
transferred to the ownership of Eng
land. A strip Of territory half as large
rs Long Island has been turned over to
Great Britain for the mere asking.
Two thousand American miners who
discovered valuable claims in Ameri-
can territory have been given over to
Canada, to be deprived OF S3,OOO,OOO
gold output by the British Columbian
alien laws. The Porcupine mining dis
trict is now English territory, and the
American miners will be forced to pay
their miners tax to British authority.
Here we have an imperial situation
that should give Oregon, Washington
and California food for deep reflection.
Two years ago when these demands
of England for Alaskan territory were
rejected, the mere rejection was her
aided as complete victory for the
United States over the policy OF en-
croachment and untenab!e demands OF
Canada"
But this was before the leaven of i'm
perlalism had begun to work and be-
M ideas had begun to prevail.
But Canada wanted Il port on the
Lynn canal. She made an imperial de-
mand backd by England. Mckinley
gave In, and the result is, Canada has
been presented with one of the richest
gold bearing districts OF the United
States.
The demands of Canada have been
so astounding that even the most par
tIsan Republican organs have fought
bitterly against them for years.
There has been no claim or pretense
that the British authorities or subjects
ever occupied any OF the territory now
in dispute, except under lease from
Russia, or ever exercised any acs of
sovereignty over it.
Upon the transfer Of Alaska from the
sovereignty Of Russia to TINT of the
United States, n portion OF the United
States army was sent to occupy the
very territory now given over to Eng
land.
But insulting demands which amy
other country on earth would have met
with Indignant refusnls have been
meekly submitted to by the man who
seeks reelection at the hands Of the
American people.
1t liz useless to speculate upon what
Jefferson, Jackson or Bryan would or
would not have done under such cOndi-
tons.
The question Is. what Mckinley has
already done.-New York Journal.

President Harrison Is n bimetallist, rs
his official papers and speeches show.
The Republican platform declares for
bimetallism and In that respect faith
fully represents the course Of the par
ty. The Republican party
seeks broader money basis. The
worlds commerce expands so rapidly
the volume Of paper currency and OF
various credit substitutes for money,
which must be supported by the spe-
Gle basis, has become SO vast-that
scarcely any can be found to deny that
commerce and industry would be safer
II the entire stock of SO, III ,S45, 600 gold
and S3,939, 571 900 silver In the world
(see estimate OF Director of the Mint
Leach. table Az, could be freely em-
ployed as foundation, instead OF only
n part of that amount. As matters
stand in the great commercial nations
of the world, the credit system and the
commercial exchanges now rest upon
the stock Of gold Us the only basis. A
bimetallic system would render the
commerce and industry of these ma
tions safer and more healthy. Serious
losses and great risks are incurred
through the constant disturbance Of
exchanges between gold-using and Sill
ver-using countries. Even In Great
Britain, where gold monometallism Is
wOrshiped MS 1t is nowhere else, the
greatest statesmen and the most pow
erful boards Of trade are at their wits
end to discover some way OF escaping
the frightful losses In commerce with
the east, which have this very year en-
volved great banks and firms In ruin"
The money plank OF the Republican
party adopted at Philadelphia July q,
1900. states:
I'VE declare our steadfast opposition
to the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. We renew our allegiance to the
principle of the gold standard"
North Park union., 1900-11-02

brand the Democrats as enemies of
the men who fought to preserve the
Union and to wipe out the unutternble
curse Of slavery.
However, the Republican platform 10
now silent; and William Mckinley
writes columns In a letter Of accept
ance without q single line or even q
single word referring to the soldiers
Of the Union. He was too busy de-
Tending his war Of conquest to offer a
word OF assurance to them that they
are still to be dealt with Justly and lib
orally by a grateful government.
The Democratic platform is in happy
contrast with that Of the Republicans.
I'VE are proud Of the courage and
fidelity Of the American soldiers and
sailors In all our wars" 1t says: I'VE
favor liberal pensions to them and
their dependents. and We reiterate the
position taken in the Chicago plat
form in 1896, that the fact Of enlist
ment and service should be deemed
conclusive evidence against disease
and disability before enlistment"
And Mr.. Bryan In his letter of ac-
ceptance declares that "A liberal policy
is natural and necessary In a govern
ment which depends upon citizen SOL
dIery instead of large standing
army. Self-interest, as well as graft
tude. compels the government to make
bountiful provisions for those who, in
the hour Of danger. md mt great sue
rifice of business, health and life, ten
der their services to their country"
He therefore demands that the pen
sion laws shall be generously con-
strued in the spirit which prompted
their passage; and he makes 1t plain
that in the event of his election. he
will not search out another Henry Clay
