CAUSE FOR HAVING TROUBLE.

The New York Herald, commenting on
the sending Of troops to China. says:
THE United States has trouble enough
Of its own. Mr.. Mckinley must not go
looking for more In China.
In spite of the traditional policy of
the American republic, to avoid entang-
ling foreign alliances in spite of. the fact
that the United States is not at war with
China, American soldiers will possibly go
with the allied expeditionary force to
Pe1in. will fight shoulder 10 shoulder with
the troops of France, England. Austria,
Italy, Russia and Japan, and will help
carry destruction and bloodshed into the
heart of a country with which the United
States is professedly at peace"
1t is nearly always difficult 10 under
stand the meaning and purpose of the
editorial articles in the New York Her
aid. 1t is certain that the people Of this
country do not want to have trouble with
China if it can possibly be avoided. but
would the Herald have this government
make no effort to rescue its minister at
Pekin and the members of its legation
there? Would it have it take no steps to
save the lives of Americans in China?
According to the consular reports, there
were in the Chinese empire last year 2335
American residents. The inference from
the latest dispatches is that it is the pol
icy of Prince Tuan, the dictator al Pekin.
to kill all foreigners, Americans as well
as others. If we understand the position
of the Herald it is that our government
should not lift hand TO save the lives
of these Americans. Other foreign gov
ernments are sending troops to China
with the hope of saving their citizens.
If our government should stand aloof
and refuse to lend a helping hand in this
effort to prevent what promises TO be the
most frightful crime of the nineteenth
century, it is probable that the Herald
would be one of the first papers to con-
denim it. 1t is certain that the American
people would condemn it in the strongest
terms, if it should be guilty of such in
humanity
The people object TO the government
meddling in the political affairs of China
or Joining the Powers of Europe in par
uuoning the empire but they will not
condemn it for undertaking to rescue
American citizens who are threatened
with assassination by fanatical Chinese
mobs

Naming the Apostles.

After a dinner In one of the msot hos
pitable residences in Washington. says
the Chicago Record, party of very die
tinguished men-cabinet ministers, sena-
tors, diplomats, scientists and soldiers
sat In the smoking-room, and the CONVEX
satiOn naturally drifted from politics TO
the proposed revision of the creed of the
Pres byterian Church Much to the sur
prise of each other and to themselves per-
haps, no one of the party was able 10
nome the Five Points of Calvinism" upon
which the theological system of so large
a community is based. Several under
took rather brashly to explain for the
benefit OF their less learned companions
what Calvanism meant. and justice of
the Supreme Court was able to name four
points of Calvinism TO his own satisfac-
ton, although his accuracy was question
ed by others, and he could not remember
the fifth. His four points were:
/. Original sin or total depravity.
2. The freedom of the will.
3. Predestination or election.
4. The perseverance of the saints.
Then somebody remarked that he once
sat in the Union League Club a New York
with Roscoe Conkling, Chester A. Arthur
and several other distinguished gentle
men who had been carefully educa ted in
religious families, and that none of them
was able to name the twelve apostle

Church.

disciple" was the curt reply.
Weren't the disciples and the apostles
the same thing?" inquired the meek voice,
getting little holder.
Bartholomew was suggested and ac-
copied by several.
Whats the matter with Peter?' ex-
claimed a modest young member OF the
diplomatic corps who had hitherto been
silent.
How many does that make?" some
body asked, and they counted up ten for
sure, with as many more doubtful.
Let's look in the Bible" somebody sug-
gested. and the good book was overhaul
ed in vain. Then an encyclopedia was ap-
pealed to- but 1t was not entirely salts
factory, for it included Thomas and An
drew in the list, and the JUS
tice of the Supreme Court and two of the
senator's were positive that Andrew was
not an apostle. All of which teaches the
great usefulness and need of Sunday
Schools.

Odd Letter From Morgan.

The following letter from Senator Nor
gan has been found, says the Birming-
ham News. 1t was written to a Mr.. Bras
sci, Sept. %. 1852. while the illustrous
Albanian was a young lawyer at ITALIA
dega. and recently published in the Bir-
mingham News:

other COW for me. as I have bought one

one you bought for me in a day or two.

mine. but you know I am your friend
and would like to see you do well, and I
hope you will change your purpose. You
will never regret it, IL you will just stop
and put your house to some other use.

STILL QUARRELING OVER THEIR
PLATFORM

The Republicans are still quarreling
over their platform. AS 1t was written by
the President and his friends it contained
a plank 10 the effect that the constitution
did not extend to newly acquired territory
until extended by Congressional Congress
had the right to rule suoh territory out
side of the constitution. This was in ac-
cordance with the Porto Rican policy OF
the Republican party.
The Platform Committee of the Repub-
lican convention exercised the right of
suppressing this declaration. The fact
that it was suppressed was not discovered
until after the convention adjourned, and
then there was a great outcry made about
it. One Quigg, of New York, explained
that the declaration had been suppressed
because the question involved in 1t was
before the Supreme Court and that If the
court should decide that the constitution
followed the flag the Republican party
would be placed in a very embarrassing
position
The explanation was not satisfactory to
the disgrunted ones of the party. And
the matter has been given new life by
a declaration in the Democratic platform
in these words: I'VE hold that the con-
stitution follows the flag, and denounce
the doctrine that an executive or Congress,
deriving their existence and their powers
from the constitution. can exercise law
full authority beyond it, in violation of it"
This bold assertion of Democratic doc
trine serves to make clearer the omission
in the Republican platform of any refer
ence to the Republican position on this
question: question, according to Gen.
Grosvenor that is the most important
that has been before the country in years

imperialism about which the country is 10

THE HILL Decentralization.

There is a good deal of comment In the
newspapers as to the real meaning of the
extraordinary demonstration in favor of
former Senator Hill in the Kansas City
convention. Two explanations are offer
ed. One is that the convention wished
to show that it did not approve bringing
forward the silver question as one of the
leading issues of the campaign, and the
other is that It wished to express
it's disapproval of the brutal conduct
of Mr.. Croker in humiliatng Mr.. Hill by
refusing him New York's place on the
Platform Committee. a place which Mr.
Hill had a right to expect and which he
wanted. Had he been a member of that
committee, it is probable that the platform
would have been different in one import
ant particular There would undoubtedly
have been a minority report and fight
in the convention on the silver plank. "A
fight would, in all probability, have re-
suited in a victory for the conservative
element,
It was doubtless Mr. Croker's desire to
humiliate Mr.. Hill that caused him to use
his influence TO keep Mr.. Hill off the
Platform Committee. The quarrel between
Mr.. Croker and Mr.. Hill will, it is thought,
be carried into New York state politics,
and unless some sort of peace is patched
up between them it will be hard matter

Democrats to elect the Democratic state
ticket IL is asserted that the friends OF
the two leaders are already making
threats against each other.
1t is the understanding that il would re-
quire the hardest kind of work on the
part of the Democrats to elect their state
ticket even II there were the utmost har-
mony among them. with a fight going on
beween the leader of the country Demo-
Gratis and the leader OF the city Demo-
Gratis the outlook for the success of the
New York Democrats is far from promis-

After Col. Bryan made his unfortunate
speech in Madison Square Garden in New
York in 1896, you will remember he made
a tour of the state in charge of Elliott
Danforth, the banker, and John Brisbln
Walker, says w. E. Curtis in the Chicago
Record. Among other places the itin-
erary was Albany, where the cordially
of his reception was doubtful, and scouts
were sent ahead to learn public sentiment
and arrange for his entertainment. After
much argument and persuasion Senator
Hill consented to invite Mr. and Mrs
Bryan and their party to dine with him
az his beautiful country place, Wolforts
Roost, but it was distinctly understood
and made a condition precedent that poll
tics should not be alluded TO during the
evening. 1t took a great deal of tele-
graphing back and forth before this was
settled, but Mr. Hill, whose attitude to-
ward the nominee of his party was I'M
certain, issued the invitations, and Mr..
Bryan accepted them for his party with
that stipulation. Mrs. Bryan Is supposed
to have been aware of the understand
ing. At that time she was her husband s
most trusted confdant and adviser. and
through her influence he insisted that
Senator German should retire from the
National Executive Committee. However,
plates were taken she turned upon her
host, at whose right she was sitting, and
added in tones that were audible to every
person at the table: Senator Hill, why
won't you support my husband for Presl-
dent?''
MIR. Hill has never been ladies' man;
he avoids the society of the feminine gen.
der so consistently that he has gained the
reputation of woman hater, but he is
apt at repartee and can frame compli-
ment as well as any courtier. There was
a painful silence at the table. Every
guest knew that Mrs. Bryan had vioat-
ed the understanding upon which the din
ner was given and had introduced the
one topic which Senator Hill had desired
to avoid, but the host was equal to the
emergency. He smiled pleasantly. lifted
a glass Of wine and gallantly, in a BAN
tering way, answered: IF you were the
candidate madam, it would not be neces-
sary 10 ask such question. I propose
your health and happiness"

say that he is not a rich man. One Of the
reasons why he objected TO being nomi-

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem) says: az the
Republican party controls both branches
of Congress, with MIR. Mckinley in the
White House for another term, ii will fas-
ten its dangerous policies upon the coun-
try for an indefinite period. Whatever may
be Mr.. Bryan's fate, the Democratic party
should make a supreme effort to elect
majority of the House of Representatives,
and thus curb the pernicious influences
which now dominate the government"
The Nashville American Dem) Gays:

of liberty under the law, of the republic
preserved in its simplicity and strength
is with the Democratic party, the party
of liberty, Independence and opportunity,
and with it in power a government of the
people, for the people and by the people
will not perish from the earth forever"
The Atlanta Journal (Dem.) says: "On
the platform thus laid down stands a
leader of the party in whose honesty the
people have absolute confidence and to
whose support a majority of them, we be-
lieve will rally with great enthusiasm.

says: After many speeches and much
enthusiasm and confusion, Mr. Stevenson
