Newchwang, while q comparatively
small city Of but 90, 900 In population, is
OF especial importance to the United
States as a treaty port. II is located at
the extreme north OF the Gulf OF Pechele
considerably farther north than Ten
Tsin and Is of especial importance to the
United States because Of the DEM for
goods from this country In that section.
american bottoms, oils, and American
demand In the province OF Shingking, OF
which Newchwang Is the treaty port and
most Important city, and goods reach the
interior by the Muren river, which Is
navigable nearly to the northern border
Of the province. Ihs proposed Russian
railway line, which is projecte1 through
Machuria and the province Of Shingking

and Is 10 be connected by short line.
Another, q British line, will connect

Is already In railway connection with

jacent to 1t Is shown by the following
extract from the report OF Walter Lay,
commissioner Of customs ut that point,
written In 1893;
1.-The rapidity with which English drill
have been disappearing may be seen by
nothing that the importation only four
years ago amounted to $1,000 pieces,
while during the period under review
only 5000 pieces arrived. The predomi-
nant position secured by American drills
and sheetings is now one of sheer SUI
premacy. The value Of these two items
aggregates 3, 12o, 900 haikwan taels-that
Is, not far short OF half the gross value
of all foreign arrivals coastwise. Cotton
yarn did not recede from the advanced
position assumed In the previous year,
for the falling off OF the Indian yarn was
neutraltzed by the increase In japanese
yarn. The ineiastic character OF the
trade In wooden goods continues. The
most striking feature in the category OF
sundries is the overwhelming importa-
ton OF kerosene oil, in which trade the
supremacy of American brands Is exceed
ingly pronounced, for the large importa-
tion OF 526, 000 gallons In 1896 has been
eciipsed by the 2,O4l, 200 gallons to the
credit of the period under review. The
one value of the imports, which Is prac-
tically the same as the large figure OF the
previous year, may be considered fairly
to represent a volume of trade equivalent
to that year. With reference to the lead
ing articles, native cloth, medicines, silk
piece goods, green tea, and prepared
tobacco have gained. while raw cotton.
paper, and sugar have lost. Cotton yarns,
manufactured by Chinese mills, advanced
from 600 haikwan taels to n 1888 haikwan
taels."

means improbable that II would also
bring In by 1908 free silver Senate.
Among the Republican Senators who 50
terms will expire on March 3, 1908, are
the following; Perkins, Of California;
Mason, of Illinois; Fairbanks, OF Indiana |;
Deboe. of Kentucky; wellington, Of
Maryland; Platt, OF New York; Pritoh.
ard, OF North Carolina; Hansbrough, Of
North Dakota; Foraker, Of Ohio, and
Kyle, of South Dakota. At least three Of
these-Deboe, Wellington and Pritohard
will be succeeded by silver Senators, In
all probability, in case Bryan wins this
year, and the seats of several OF the others
will he in serious danger.
In Indiana only one Republican Ben
jamin Harrison) was elected to the
United States Senate between 1876 and
1851, and in that entire period Of twenty
two years both senatorships were held by
Democrats for twenty years with only
one break of two years duration. IL has
been only since March 4, 1899, that both
seats have been occupied by Republicans,
since Joseph l. Mcdonald was elected to
SuCttCL bautCt III lOtO. Ahc WV
ton Of Bryan to the presidency in 1900
would indicate probability Of the cleo
ton OF a Democrat to succeed Senator
Fairbanks In 1903.
From 1869 TO 1897, a period of twenty
eight years. one of the Ohio seats In the
United States Senate was occupied by u
Democrat, and from 1879 to 1881 both of
q b..,, II ha nr,lv
since the beginning of the present Ad-
ministration that both have been occu-
pied by Republicans since the recon-
struction period.
From 1915 to 1899 the Democrats held
one of the New Jersey seats in the Sem
ate, and for four years both OF them
wers SO held For the first time in a
quarter of a century Republican, now
hold both of the senatorships from that
state.
From 1891 to 1899 New York was repre-
scented in this Senate by two Democrats
for four years, and by one Republican
and one Democrat for the rest Of the
period. If Bryan should be elected Presi-
dent this year, and especially IL New
York should contribute her electoral vote
to that result, Senator Platt's successor
in 1903 in all probability would be a
Democrat.
A careful survey of these facts and
probabilities will tend to convince almost
anybody that a Bryan victory this year
would result in the repeal Of the goli
standard law before the end of his ad-
ministration by the concurrent action OF
Congress and the executive, and that the
prevalent belief that 1.-THE financial ques-
ton Is settled for four years at least" is
q fallacious one.

1t is difficult to see what good ground
exists for criticizing the administration
the use of these troops Is confined to the
protection of American life and property.
Should they be used for the acquire
ment of territory or to assist the Euro
pean powers in Remembering the empire
then there would be ground for complaint.
At the present time they are being used
only for the first purpose and their use
for that will meet the general approval
of the American people. Indeed, we feel
certain that to refuse to send them for
that purpose would meet universal con-
domination.

The New England delegates win go to
Kansas City strongly inclined to support
ex-senator ID. b. Hill of New York for
second place on the ticket. The princi-
pal reason for this is the feeling that he
would be powerful assistance in carry
ing New York as he would do something
to reconcile the moneyed men of the
party so that they would contribute liber-
ally. But New England will bave very
small voice in settling questions at
Kansas City The West and the South
will furnish the great majority of the
delegates and their wishes will control.
If it We're not for the feeling that to &C.
cept the entire Populist ticket would look
like playing second fiddle to the Populists
in all probability Towne would be
nominated. 10 the delegates who
are fearful lest silver will be
made too prominent he ought to
be less Objectionable than Bryan, for
though as firm free silverite as the Ne
braskan, he has several times intimated
that 1t might be wise to make silver less
prominent than four years ago. But
probably the feeling that to take the
entire Populist ticket would involve
some humiliation, will be strong enough
to accomplish the defeat of Towne and
the selection of somebody else for second
place

The vigor and determination with which
Seymour's troops were attacked and the
great difficulty they had in getting
through without all being killed, affords
gooa ground for apprehension that If the
ambassadors left Pekin they may have
been attac ked and murdered. They are
supposed to have been accompanied by
Chinese soldiers. but there has been
plenty of evidence that Chinese soldiers
are not trustworthy. On several occasios
thsy have sided with the Boxers, and on
very few have they made any vigorous
effort to put them down.

Temperance In speech is one of the
forms of temperance which the Prohibit
tionists do not cultivate. At their recent
national convention they adopted reso-
luton declaring that the President has
done more to encourage the liquor busi-
ness, to demoralize the temperance habits
of young men and to bring Christian
practices and requirements into disrepute
than any other President this republic
has had" OF course the charge is abb
surd.. 1t is simply a specimen of the
reckless denunciation that political
parties altogether too freely indulge in.
Nobody, not even Prohibitionist, will
take 1t seriously.

BRYAN AND THE GOLD STANDARD

Democrats who already feel the same way
as Mr.. Morton, and after the campaign
has gone on awhile, and the programme
of the Bryan Democracy has developed
there will be greet many more. 1t will
soon be apparent that the success of
Bryan will be little less of a menace to the
stability Of tariff and currency condi-
tions than he was four years ago. 10 be
sure the gold standard has been placed
