CHINESE AND MOSLEMS.

Our colonial complications are al
ready beginning to hamper the hith-
erto free and independent movements
of Uncle Sam. Here is the sultan of
Sulu, for instance. with whom war is
inevitable if we offend the sultan of
Turkey, his acknowledged leader as a
MahOmmedan.
Yet we talk of forcing the ruler of
Turkey to pay indemnity for property
of Christian ministers destroyed by
AIOslem fanatics
We are urged by hotheads to so to
war with China. To do so means to
take soldiers from the Philippines and
the daily demand of General MacAr-
thur is for more troops. The force in
LuZon is wholly inadequate and regi-
ments are being dispatched to China
right now-making the inadequate
army of the Philippines still smaller
and weaker.
But the most serious phase of the
Philippine question, as the present
Philippine commission made plain in
its report which was submitted before
the outbreak in China. occurred. is the
difficult relation we viii have to recog-
nize between this government and the
Chinese on the archipelago. The Chi
nese have been IN the islands since
before Spain discovered them, and are
intimately bound up with their indus
try and commerce. Their merchants
carry on much of the business, and
their coolies do the heaviest labor of
the civilized parts of Luzon.
With hundreds Of thousands of Chi
nese and a million or more of Mos
lens. besides the Tagal insurgents TO
look after and to cope with in the event
of war with China or trouble with
Turkey. who will say that we have
not brought a hornets nest into our
household to sting our industries and
harass. our armies2
Moreover, it has been pointed out
by the commission that we must fail
in the development of the Philippines.
without the aid of the Chinese people.
The commission made these recon-
mendations concerning the Chinese:
Though they are hated by the ma
tives. it would be industrialIy hurt
full as well as very difficult to expeI or
exclude them. With development of
the wild parts of the islands there will
be need for more of them rather than
less"
We can't get along in the Philippines
without the Chinese. Yet war with
China means war with the Chinese on
the islands, es indicated in a New York
World dispatch of recent date.
Where are we going to get off this
colonial empire excursion train?

SENATOR RAWLENS' POSITION

To the Editor of The Herfaid:
Since my return from the east today. 1
have heard that there have been some
comments on the position of Senator
Rawlins on the specific declaration be-
fore the committee on platform and reso-
lutions at Kansas City. l have not seen or
heard from the senator since he went
into the committee room to aid in the
preparation of the platform. But l was
present on two occasions, just previous TO
the meeting OF the committee. when the
senator was 'IabOred with for the sake
OF political expediency, to waive his per-
sondl desires in favor of a specific declara-
ton on the ratio question, and on both
occasions Senator Rawlins resOlutely as
serted himself in favor of a strong I'M
equlVOcal declaration, just such a one
as the committee finally adopted. Fur
thermore, | got it from two members of
that committee that Senator RaWlins not
only voted from first to last in favor of
the specific declaration as il appears in
the platform. but that he made one of the
most eloquent and convincing arguments
in its favor that was made before the
committee. Whoever started the story.
which has been used for the purpose OF
making 1t appear that Senator Rawlins
was weakening on the silver question,
had not the slightest foundation for it in
fact. D. c. DUNBAR.

early settlers of Dallas county, in that
state, and his family grew up on farm
near the little town of Dexter. in the
southwestern part of the county.
His business in Iowa has been that
of a banker and trader, and he accu-
INFLATED considerable fortune in this
way. After holding various county and
state offices in Iowa, he was elected
three times to the national congress,
where he identified himself with the
leaders of the Republican party and
obtained considerable influence as
chairman of the committee on coinage.
President Harrison sent him as en-
voy extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary to Brazil. In 1896 he was
Mckinley elector-at-large from Iowa.
He was very popular in western Iowa,
owing to a frank, blunt honesty. and a
simplicity of character, which made
him one of them.
Local pride in his achievements made
him more than a partisan leader in that
section of the state where he lived,
Irrespective of politics the entire popu-
lation on various occasions turned out
en- masse to give him welcome, nota-
by so on his return from Brazil.
Rugged in health and with a command
ing presence. he melted confidence. Not
brilliant. as the term is Familiarity used,
but so ste. -dfast. so thoroughly in ea~n-
est and so honest as to have won and
constantly held the love and esteem
of his acquaintance, Mr.. Conger be
lieved in the genius of application, and
Sc thoroughly equipped himself as to
rank as a diplomat who had attained
national reputation. He was doubtless
mistaken in policies and methods many
times. but no one questioned his hon
esty of purpose.
The death of such a man at the hands
of a savage band of Oriental fanatics
must be a shock to all who knew him.
It will cause mourning throughout the
state of Iowa. In the central and west
ern part where his family are known,
the grief viii be intense, not solely on
account of their death, but because of
the horrors surrounding it.

EDWIN HURD CONGER.

There is no longer any hope for the
legations at Pekin. That they have
been destroyed and all connected with
them massacred seems to be generally
accepted as a fact by all the govern
ments and peoples concerned.
Minister Conger and his whole fami-
". including Mrs. COnger and two

where they were known. and a feeling
of sadness permeates every part of the
republic on account of the horrible fate

GENERAL LISCUM KILLED.

The death of General Emerson H.
Liscum. at the head of his command in
China, brings the people of this coun-
try to full and sudden realization of
the crisis in the Orient.
The action of the mob, unrestrained
by a demoralized and decrepit govern
ment, in destroying the delegations
may be regarded as a horrible crime,
for which the perpetrators are yet to
be brought to judgment. But when an
officer is killed at the head of his regi-
ment while trying to maintain order
and relieve distress, it begins to look
like war in earnest.
General Liscum was well known and
very popular in Utah He was lieuten-
ant colonel of the Twenty fourth in
fantry at Fort Douglas, and went to
Cuba with the regiment As a volun-
teer in the Union army ne had won dis
tinctiOn in the civil war, and was bre-
vetted captain in 1854 for gallant SER
vices in the battle of North Ann river,
and during other military operations in
Virginia.
At the battle of Santiago he was a
conspicuous leader. He led the colored
troops over the PROSTATE volunteers
from New York, whose commanders
refused to lead them up San Juan hill.
In this dashing charge he received a
Spanish bullet which sent him to the
hospital for time; but upon his re-
cOvery he found himself a brigadier
general in the volunteer army, from
which he was hOnOrably discharged on
the last day of 1898. He remained with
the regulars. however. and. on the 25th
of April, 1899. was appointed colonel of
the Ninth infantry.
When troops were needed in China he
was sent to lead them. He was brave,
discreet and experienced. It is a ser
iOus loss to the army and to the nation
that he fell at Tien Tsin. His death
will be mOurned in Utah and wherever
he was known, for he was a true gen
tleman and a brave soldier.

CANNOT CHANGE THE FIGURES.

With a touching unanimity of feel
ing and a remarkable similarity in
BLACKBOARD style of epithet, the Deseret
News and Salt Lake Tribune Join
hands in denunciation of The HeraId's
statement of city expenses for the first
six months of this year.
1t is enough to say. in reply
that the figures are a literal transcript
of the Republican city auditors books.
and The Herald has faith enough in
Mr.. Reiser's ability to believe the state
ment is entirely accurate.
No amount of high-hown invectiva
can conceal the fact that the city's
management has spent $50. 900 more in
the first six months Of this year than
was spent in the same period of 1899.
At the same time the current revenue
has decreased 1913. OOO The taxravers
viii have to meet the $4,000 difference
before the year is over.
If n plain statement of these facts is
warrant for abuse, The Herald intends
TO invite more of it. The men and
women who pay the city's expenses are
entitled to information as to the city's
financial affairs. and they will get ii
from The Herald and only from The
Herald. ....-.
Another point: The DeSeret News de-
clares The Herald has "viliied" a most
reputable citizen in saying his bank
carries the account of p. J. Moran.
pipe contractor. The statement was
printed on the authority of another
most reputable citizen, himself a
banker. There was no "vilifcation"
about it-nOthing but information of
general public interest in connection
with the bond issue.
It is easy to understand. under the
conditions, why the News should not
wish to see the statement printed.
There is a story current in newspaper
circles that a man on the Philadelphia
Ledger was fired for letting a piece of
interesting news get snto that delight
full but ancient journal There is no
danger that such a fate will ever befal
anybody connected with the Deseret
News.
