After the capture of the Chinese city

was forbidden in the British quarter,
but the German, French and Italian
troops have sacked their districts.
Russias reply to the Anglo German
agreement has been received at the
British foreign office. The officials dc
not regard the Russian note as ade-
quate treatment OF the points raised in
the agreement. and say the reply
lacks the defnitiveness so desired by
Lord Salisbury"

Petersburg correspondent OF the Lon

ence, with a view OF settling the Chi
nese question.
1t is rumored at Canton that the
French are prepared to send 1000
troops from Saigon to Canton. This
report, together with the presence of
numerous French warships, has
aroused suspicious among the Chinese
regarding French designs. The re-
formers threaten that if the French at
tempt TO seize Canton the Cantonese
will lay the city in ruins.
The Japanese legation at Washing

How n Get Hard lines

From the Springfield (Mass.) Union.
On December IS, 1898, the Associated
Press sent out the following from
New York:
The Rev. Father Mahoney, pastor
of the Church of Our Lady Of Good
Counsel, Brooklyn, caused a decided
sensation at all the masses held there
to-day by his startling reference to
the cases Of almost starvation at pres
ent existing in that city Never in
all my experience" he said. has
Brooklyn been in such condition as
at present. Hundreds OF families are
starving, and unless relief comes, and
that quickly the result will be appalling
to contemplate. / have seen strong
men, steady and industrious, actually
begging for bread to feed their starv-
| ing children. For months they have
been out of employment. This is the
first time in my career as a Catholic
priest that l have been compelled to
use such language"
Who was president Of the United
/ States in 1893?
Grover Cleveland.
Upon what issue was he elected?
Free Trade.
What great prosperity-breeding
measure was repealed?
The Mckinley Tariff law.
What was substituted for it?
The Wilson Bill.
What was the result?
The Rev. Father Mahoney gives tn,
answer, strong men. steady and in.
dust-ious. actually begging for breaI
TO feed their starving children"
Do you want another Wilson bill
Do YOU want the mills and factories
closed? Do you want to be throw
out Of employment? Do you wan
your children supported by charity?
II you do, then by all means vot
for William Jennings Bryan.

HELP EnR INDIA

We have received from the East In
dia Relief Association of London a
pamphlet graphically portraying the
distress which exists in famine and
plague-strickoa India, with 4 request
that editorial notice be made OF il in
the hope that II will reach the hearts
and purses Of our American readers
One paragraph, dated September, we
think especially worthy OF reproduc-
ton. 1t IS:
Since the rains have fallen there is
an easy disposition ca the part OF the
public to assume that distress is at an
end So far from that being the case
the need for help is now greater than
ever. The rains do not feed the starv-
ing, or clothe the naked: they merely
hold out promise of food ut the next
harvest, and of clothing at some later
date. The rains do not restore the
cattle to life, and plough oxen are an
absolute necessity for Indian agricul-
ture. The numbers On relief have di-
minished because the people have had
TO quit the relief works, where they
have been earning their subsistence. to
devote themselves to the cultivation Of
the fields. without outside help large
numbers Of these must die while wait
ing for the crops to grow and ripen.
Further, to restore people to their
original position when the famine is
subsiding and to give them fresh
start is recognized by the famine COM
missioners Of 1880 and 1898 as a spe-
cial function OF private charity, Offering
a wide and most useful field" With
out this fresh start how can they lift
themselves out Of this slough OF desti-
tuition by which they have been over
whelmed?
This is a showing which should ap-
peal to all friends Of suffering hu-
manity.

CLEVELAND AND BRYAN

To all menand particularly TO Demo-
Gratis, the attitude of Former Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland in the present
fight between Mckinley and Bryan for
the presidency is matter Of much in
terest. for. while not actively engaged
in politics, he has large personal fol-
lowing, which is swayed by his words
and actions. In the public prints
on Monday there appeared two state
ments concerning him, and they are in
direct conflict.
One, I'm the Philadelphia Times, pur-
ported to be an interview with Mr..
Cleveland, in which he predicted a land
slide for Bryan, and advanced reasons
for his belief. This is the form OF the
interview. and it was so unlike Mr.
Cleveland in thought and expression
that many persons. including Demo
Gratis, doubted It's genuineness:
My young man, you will see a land
slide for Bryan the morning after elec.
tion. OF that / am confident You dc
not understand the conditions. There
are elements all over the country a
work which it would be impossible e
draw into line for Mckinley. In th'
first place, union labor is for Bryan
OF recent years this organization o.
labor has been a factor in politics, anG
IL certainly is not favorable to the in
terests OF capital The travelling mel
arc for BRYAN. These men. who arr
a small army, are OF the opinion tina
the Republican party is the protector

ton OF industrial interests many o
= them have been thrown out Of EN-
ploymemt. In the Northwest, IN Min
nesota, in Dakota and Iowa there ar
many Hollanders sympathy for th
Beers. who are their own flesh an
blood. will induce them to supper
Bryan. See II am not correct hav
no desire to be drawn into any contrC
versy over the results Of the election
but II the Republican managers hor
estly think that President McKinle
will be reelected. IL Is my opinion the
are mistaken. They do not know th
situation.
Mr.. Cleveland was quoted as sayin
that, in spite of his political inactil
ity. he had been sought by represel
tatives Of all the leading papers, WI
we're apparently eager to obtain h
opinion Of the situation. He had steal
fastly refused, because. as he said.
am out OF active politics.
These words did not read as thoul
they ever came from the mouth
Mr.. Cleveland. The style Of EXPIRE
sion was something new TO attribute
him, and the whole thing read Il
something got up without Mr.. Cley
lands knowledge and consent.
What gave strength to our belief W
that the New York Times yssterd
contained a letter TO the Chica
Times-Herald, written by Wal
Wellman, its special correspondent.
was as follows:

spoken. and in a most emphatic W

THE PIVOTAL STATES

On next Tuesday the great
American electorate will go to the
polls and decide the destinies OF the
nation for many years TO come. The
issues Of the day have been discussed
freely and fully in the newspapers and
on the stump, and no voter can plead
ignorance and vote wrong and justify
himself in the eyes Of his nelghbors.
1t has been a comparatively clean cam
paign. with few really sensational in
cidents. and the weight Of the argu-
ment, from start to finish, has been
ON the side Of the Republicans.
The Democrats. believing that the
electoral votes Of New York. New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland will
decide the contest for supremacy be-
tween the principles represented by Mr.
Mckinley and those represented by Mr.
Bryan, have made desperate efforts tC
obtain them, but tho indications al
along the line are that they have fail

he Is by no means sure of even that

Democrats are prosecuting an aggres

along the line, and are sanguine tha
they will win. The Democrats So,
that the four states are likely to g
one way. We admit it; and that wa!

that the affairs OF the United State

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Tammany Politics
rom the PhlIadeIphia Ledger

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Among the odd campaign incidents
that are coming to notice is the steal
ing by Tammany of the Republican
candidate for senator in the Tenth dis
trict of New York and the experience
of a railroad man who went into Lit
tie Italy" On Saturday to hire several
hundred laborers for q Vermont job.
In the first instance, the candidate a
young man, who is a clerk in the post
office, is alleged to have sweetheart
who is related to a Tammany leader.
This influence and promise of a better
city Office is charged with making him
refuse to run at this the eleventh hour
of the campaign, and thus disrupts the
ticket in the Tenth district, as elec-
ton laws prevent an empty place be-
ing filled within fifteen days Of cleo
tion. He had been regarded as one OF
the hardest workers in the district un-
til Friday night, when he cOmmuni-
Gated to the District Committee in an
indirect way the Information that he
had Joined Tammany Hall, and that
instead OF remaining on the Repubi-
can ticket he would do his utmost to
help defeat it. Little Italy" is one OF
the strongholds of the famous DRY
Dollar" Sullivan, and the railroad man
was amazed to find himself arrested at
the instance of Sullivan and his lieu
tenants while hiring the men he need
ed on the assertion that he was en-
ticing registered voters out Of the city
by fictitious bribes Of work. The sta
ton house officials refused to hold him
on this plea, but he found himself un-
able to get many OF the Italian labor
ers out of the colony. He was blandly
told to come round after election and
/ he could do as he liked.
