The Florida star. (Titusville, Fla.) 1880-1917, 1900-07-20

The point which is not yet clear
and which seems to worry our gov
eminent is this: Whether the
Chinese government is in sympa-
thy with the anti-foreign move
ment or not. The fact that the
imperial troops are in the ranks
of the insurgents makes it appear
so, but does not conclusively prove
that the government is back of the
anti-foreign movement.
Our government has maintained
that there is nothing yet to show
that we are at war with China.
The English are disposed to criti-
CHE us for taking this position,
but it is the proper course to pur-
sue until we are satisfied beyond
reasonable doubt that the Chinese
government approves the outrages
that have been committed. This
view may be strengthened by the
tragedy at Pekin, for it seems that
such a horrible state of affairs could
not take place there without the
sanction of the Chinese govern
ment; still it is made to appear
that the government was opposed
to it, but did not have the force to
command the situation. There is
hardly any room now TO doubt that
all the members of the legations
and foreigners in Pekin have been
brutally massacred, as the Chinese
dispatches of Monday gave such
an account of the horrible Outrages
that there is little reason to doubt
it.
This act undoubtedly marks the
breaking up of the Chinese empire.
The powers of Europe and even
this country cannot stand such in
suit, and the Boxers, instead of
shutting out all foreigners. as they
hope TO do, will find their action
will result in the opening up of
the whole empire to the freest COM
mercial relations with all other
nations.

The State Platform.

1t seems that the primary plank
in the Florida platform is creating
some dissatisfaction. Thequestion
has been raised by several state
politicians as to whether it applied
to circuit and criminal court judges
and solicitors. In an interview
with a Times-Union and Citizen
reporter, Chairman Frank Clark, OF
the Democratic executive commit
tee, says he has not given the
matter sufficient thought to express
an opinion. J. Murdoch Bars,
the author of the document, and
Col. Frank w. Pope, president of
the Bryan Silver club, of Jackson
vile, say it means what it says
ALL offices appointive or otherwise,
that have heretofore been nomi-
mated by the various county and
district executive committees, or,
in cases of judges and solicitors, by
the bars of the various circuits.
This brings the Judiciary into
politics-just where it ought not to
be. In the language of an exchange
it "puts the ermine at the mercy of
the ward heller"

The Situation I'm China.

The repulse of the allied forces
before Tien Tsin the first of this
week will have tendency to
strengthen the fanatical move
ment in China against foreigners,
for if the Chinese become imbued
with the belief that they are in
vincible it will take all the armies
that Europe and America can hur-
ry there to conquer them. 1t is
evident that they are much better
soldiers than they were five years
ago when they fought the Japan

and ammunition and the training
received at the hands of the best
European drill masters have

Judge Liddon and Cromwell
Gibbons both bear out the above
statement. There was a difference
of opinion as to the best form to
reatfirm the party's allegiance to
free silver. One side of the plat

The Democratic Leader.

The great political fight of 1900
is now on, and the two leading
parties are perfecting their organ
izations and making ready for the
battle of ballots in November. Mr..
Bryan, the indomitable leader of
the Democrats, is once more launch
ed upon the turbid waters of pO-
litical reform, and will put up the
fight of his life. AS a man he
commands the respect of all men
who have the mental capacity To
think, and in whose makeup
there is the element of justice. We
cannot help but admire his un-
flinching courage and intlexible
purpose in having his favorite
plank retained in the Democratic
platform, even at the imminent
risk of defeat as a consequence. If
elected he will exercise the preroga-
tives of his position irrespective of
personal ambitions.
The brightest type of American
manhood steers the Democratic
ship of state, and we hope to see
that craft glide into the White
House and come to anchor for
four years. Some have contempt
uOusly referred to Mr.. Bryan as Il
reservoir of gas" a talking ma
chine" etc, but we can accept no
such sad commentary upon the
intelligence of the American peo-
pie as to believe that n brainlesS
graphOphOne could, for four years,
keep at the head of the great Dem
ocratic party-the acknowledged
leader of such men as Croker, Hill,
Jones, Daniel, Morgan and scores
of others standing high on the
plane of intellectual excellence:
neither can it be said that seven
millions of voters can be kept for
four years in blissful ignorance of
man capabilities.
Mentally Mr.. Bryan is the peer
of any man, only unreasonable,
unthinking men argue contrary.
Conservative men are of the opin-
ion that his chances are very
much brighter this year than in
lS96.
Illinois and Ohio are both in the
doubtful column, while Indiana,
Kentucky and West Virginia are
sure to give their electoral votes to
the Democratic nominee.

1t seems to us that the Sun has

being a Democrat is an insult to
the Democracy that nominated him
at West Palm Beach four years ago.

THE WoMAN'S LITERARY CLUB
OF ANACONDA.

The papers to be presented at the
Woman's Literary Tub Of Anaconda, on
next Saturday are concerned with sub
jects connected with the reigns of Ed
word W.. and Mary. On these periods
but for preliminary information one of
the first authorities to be consulted is the
great dramatist. The play of Henry the
Eighth, will give most forcibly some of
the leading features of the period. What
Is to be considered in reading any of
Shakespeare's plays is that the author Is
an artist, not an historian. His char
acters are idealized as representatives of
some great principle that the poet de-
sires to impress. Sue historical facts or
characters are selected as will produce
the impression desired or the facts and
characters are so colOred as to harmonize
with the spirit of the play. Hence in any
historical character that Shakespeare
describes, we have not the real person.,
but one phase of the personality, select
ed to suit the setting in which he APP
pears. sI
Hence in all his historical plays,
Shakespeare is untrue to history taken
as a whole, though"he may be true to the
special manifestation that he has In
mind. But he is so near to being a con-
temporary of the persons he describes in
Henry VIII, and the personalities were
so we'll known to his auditors, that his
play is more nearly historically correct
than any other, and it contains some of
the most eloquent and most dramatic ex-
amples of his unrivalled genius.
1t may be said that there has been an
amount of religious discussion respect
ing this period, that exceeds that given
to and other part of English history. 1t
is important to pay careful attention to
this element. Las week the Inter Noun
tain mentioned Green, Knight and Gut
zot as theg general writer's of English his
tory most worthy of consultation. They
are all reasonably unprecedented, Green
is e~minently SO. But yet they all write
from a Protestant standpoint. Mention
of Lingard, the representative Catholic
authority, was reserved for this paper, as

poetry was written in what we call prose,
For there was no better writing in all his
published work than can be found In
Hyperion" and in "Outre mer." These
books are idylls of travel, and in Hyper
iOn" at any rate, he comes nearer reveal
ing the secret of his own life thar in any
other book.
There are many lives Of Longfellow
n Zach contributes something to add to
u love for him. His letters are edited
by his brother, and bring us a little near
er to his attractive personality than does
any other book.
THE WoMAN's CLUB.
Besides special attention to music the
Woman's club give attention at their
next meeting to recent fiction. The fall
novels are now appearing and they have
a goodly number from which to make
their selection. There is a good deal of
talk now a days respecting the decad-
ence of American fiction, but there are
few evidences of it apparent. 1t is true
that many worthless novels are publish
ed, but this has always been the case.
What is true is that there is a yirility
and a finish to recent fiction that makes
much of 1t we'll worth reading and pa
tient study. The historical n the prac-
teal novel seems to be superceding the
philosophical story and human life and
social theories take up most of the space
that was only lately devoted to psycholo-
gical distractions. Every social and
economic theory seems to be embodied in
fctional form, and on the whole there Is
no objection to this metho of writing
an essay. Thu theories are more forcibly
stated, and the novel has additional
strength.
But fiction is one Of the fine arts. In
this art, as in all others. the highest art,
is the art of concealing the art. The
move with a purpose. in so far as the
purpose is over prominent, fails both as a
nov and as an argument. Blu it fire.
quently happens, that a story is so SIM
ply written, the author having the sense
to give his attention only to the story,
that a moral is presented which no
mount of conscious argument could
convey.
