BRUTAL DEEDS OF SOLDIERS

The work of civilizing some of the
foreign troops and their officers now
operating in China seems to be almost
as much a work of necessity as civiliz-
ing and educating the Chinese. A re-
cent dispatch from Paoting Flu says the
preparations are complete for destroy
ing the most venerated temple in that
city, How would we regard the des-
truction of the oldest church in America
by an Oriental invader? Then there are
other episodes. A Berlin dispatch des-
cribes this scene near Pekin: ''Sixty-
eight cspt1ves, some of them not yet
adults, were tied together by their pig
tails, beaten by the Germans, compelled
to dig their own graves and then shot
en- masse." The burning of whole
Chinese villages seems to be steady
occupation by the foreign troops. It
might be added that the occupation of
Pekin is becoming steady. The inter-
national forces entered 1t early in Au-
gust and in the second week of Novem-
Der the great powers are still reassuring
each other, on their honors, that not
one of them would think of taking ter
ritory from China.

Varicocele and Structure without the aid OF knife
or cautery is phenomenal The patient is treat
ed by this method at his own home without pain
or loss of time from business. Tnls is positively
the only treatment which cures without an oper-

1t is certainly too early and also alb
surd to begin casting about now for a
man to lead the Democratic hosts in
the presidential battle of 1904, because
the smoke and the wreck of the re-
cent contest still encumbers the polit-
ical field. Nevertheless there is con-
siderable speculation as TO who the new
leader will be-. Two or three weeks
ago Mr.. Bryan stated, in conversation
with a number of his friends, that
whether elected or defeated he would
not again be candidate for the presl-
dency.
The consensus of opinion is that the
next Democratic nominee for President
will come either from New York or one
of the New England States, and that
he will be man whose sound money
record is clear and who supported his
party's ticket in the campaign of 1900.
This places former Secretary of State
Richard OIney, ex-senator David B.
Hill, Hon. Eff. Shepard and other dis
tingu1shed gold Democrats on the list
of presidential possibilities. It Is quite
probable, however, that if some strong
man comes to the front and carries the
State of New York by a large ma
jority in the gubernatoriaI election to
be held two years from now he will
get the nomination for the presidency.
It is as certain as anything can be
that the poor showing which Richard
Croker made as a State leader has de-
posed him from that position and the
leadership of the party will fall upon
much ADLER and better man, and the
present indications are that man will
be David B. Hill, who made hard and
sincere fight for Bryan in the upper
portion of the State, Mr. Hill is not
only a remarkably astute politician,
but he is strong with the conservative
classes, and should he again become
the leader of the New York Democracy
the chances are he will, If he SO de-
sires, be nominated for governor in
1902.
All of this, however, is to be deter
mined by future events; but we do not
believe that it requires the eye of q
prophet to see that the next Demo
cratic nominee will be a man who will
unite all elements of the Democracy,
have the confidence of the business In
terests of the country and be nom1-
mated on a Sound and conservative
platform. Orleans States

WHY NOT ANOTHER PARTY9

It may be safely assumed that any
recognizing of the democratic PARTY
that is to be done will be done by
democrats, and not by lot Of deserters
who voted the republican ticket against
democratic nominees. If the esteemed
kickers who were TOO good to vote the
democratic ticket don't like democracy
why don't they become republicans In
name as well as in fact; or else start
them up little party of their own?
Their brilliant success with the Palm-
er-Buckner effort ought to hold out
great encouragement Augusta CHron-

Croker says he thinks Stree silver
was the main cause" of Bryan's defeat.
Yet it was Croker who prevented Hill
from going on the Committee on Re-

plank, put on. Had Hill gone on that

The unkindest cut of all was the act
lon of Nebraska. Mr.. Bryan certainly
had right to expect to carry his own
