Washington, Sept. s2.-The Chinese
authorities are trying to make peace
with Christendom by turning against
the boxers. The empress dowager
is taking no halfway measures
against the rebels. At least the i'm
periaI edicts, which have reached the
scrutiny of American representatives,
seem to have an earnest ring. They
no longer order the dispersion of box
ers, but command their extermina-
ton. This is the effect of cablegram
received at the state department from
| Consul Fowler at Che Foo. It says
both the civil and military officials Of
the province of Chi Ii have been di-
| rected to exterminate the boxers.
Another Bloody Battle Fought.

MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.
Causing STATE Department Anxiety to
Render Them Effective Protec-
ton at Shnntung.

Washington, March 21.-The secre-
tary of the navy has received a cable
gram from Admiral Watson stating
that the gunboat Wheeling had pro-
ceeded to the Taku. She will be re-
lieved by the Concord about May 10,
and will go as usual in the summer
to unalasla.. on the Alaskan coast
The state department is in guam
Diary to devise means to render effec-
tive protection to the American mis-
sionaries at Shantung. The difficulty
lies in the fact that the missionaries
have in most cases gone as far as
200 miles inland, and are thus beyond
reach of any aid that can be extend
ed from warship. Minister Conger's
advices show that the situa ton is fur
Their complicated by the fact that the
location of the present troubles is so
far inland as to make difficult to de-
termine whether or not the Boxers"
are operating in Shantung or across
the border in Pechil province. If the
threatened missionaries are in west
ern Shantung, then further question
arises as to who is chargeable with
their protection, China or Germany.
The exact extent of the German
sphere CT influence is not definitely
known here. 1t is 200 miles from
KiaouChou, the German seaport, to
the western border of Shantung, but
inasmuch as the Germans have
claimed exclusive control of railroad
franchises and like concessions
throughout the whole province, it is
presumed that they have assumed
military responsibility as we'll. At
any rate the Chinese government has
been deferred from attempting to ex-
ercise military authority in that Sec
ton by the attitude of the German
authorities and that is the reason for
the inability of the Picking govern
ment to meet Mr.. Conger's demand
for punatory measures against the
Boxers"
The German minister at Picking has
informed Mr.. Conger that his govern
ment is willing to extend to the
American missionaries within the
German sphere of influence the same
measure of protection as is accorded
to German missionaries. This, how
ever, is not very reassuring, in view
of the fact that the German military
forces in Shantung have not so far
as is known been augmented to
point where they are equal to the
police in the whole province. The
state department has not been adj
vised that these German forces have
extended their operations into west
ern Shantung, where the imperilled
missionaries are located. nor has
there been any assurance that any ex-
petition is organized IN that direc-
ton

A Public Belief.

The Democrat believes that Howard
county should have five supervisors
instead of three. We think this would
better represent all parts of the
county, and that it would be a'saying
financially. -Nolthelr Iona Democrat.
The PLAIN DEALER in its issue OF
Aug. 2, 1898, said: ''The board of super
visors has made three supervisor
districts of the county when in the
opinion of many of the best men of
the county it should have made five
districts, increasing the board to five
members. This would have given the
various parts of the county better
representation, and CORRESPONDENCE
better protection to local interests.
With board consisting of five mem
bers it would be difficult to form a
combination whereby the 5-mill tax
for highway purposes conld be two
tifths diverted from the towns which
had paid the tax to roads in other
towns when every cent of the tax was
needed in the towns which had paid
the taxes. Where there are but
three supervisors an agreement of two
prevails. With board consisting of
five members it would be difficult to
form a combination whereby such an
outrage could lie perpetrated. For
these and other reasons the board
should have been increased to five
members with a specified district for
EACH"
The reasons then set forth in favor
of five districts, and a board of five
members, have been strengthened
rather than otherwise. In the equal
ization of property for the purposes OF
taxation, it will enable that l}aerea !.
arrive al aaiiore Just Conclusions than
is possible with three no matter how
honest their purpose, but unfamiliar
with property valuations in portions
of the county where but partially ac-
quainted. The care of bridges in
different portions of the county can
be better and more economically
watched and cared for.
Three supervisors are better thar
one, and for the same reason. five arr
better than three for every interest o
the public, which is the main con
sideration. We have not much faitl
in the Instability of man, and bu
little respect for one who places hi
own judgment against the wishes ant
opinions of an entire community.
For these reasons we favor the en-
largement of the board to five mem
berS with specific district for each
We have no scheme for these districts
and care not how they are formed, 81
that they are as compact as possible
and have as near as may be the same
relative population.

AcapitaIists, own.

There was all election in the village
of North Tarrytown, N. Y, Tuesday
that should be interesting to every
one in the United States and especial
ly to those who are interested in eco
nomic questions.
Matters in that village were not
going to suit Dir. Rockefeller, so he
concluded to take charge Of the little
town himself. His chief objection had
been to the assessors. He had long
been convinced that they were rating
his large country home and estate too
high, and were unmoyed by earnest
remonstrances that he made on the
subject.
Therefore. as election day approach
ed, q Rockefeller ticket was put up.
and the report is that all the tricks
known to politicians were used on
both sides, and of course that includes
Rockefeller's side. The people were
told that in case the Rockefeller ticket
was elected the eminent magnate
would start vast improvements at
once, to cost thousands of dollars, and
would keep labor employed for an in
definite time, whereas, il the other
ticket won, there would be nothing
in sight but idlencss and crusts.
Mr.. Rockefeller win now have
assessors that he can reason with and
who will have a proper consideration
for his interests.
1t is trifie unpleasant to think OF
a town, even quiet, little country
village like TarrytoWn, being in, the
hands OF one man. But it should be
remembered that Mr.. Rockefeller is a
great philanthropist; thathe has given
millions to the University of Chicago,
has endowed libraries and bestowed
great sums on charitable institutions
to put too high Il figure on his palace
at Tarrytown.
Then presently we shall hear Of bis
erecting fine library at TarrytoWn

The printing and binding controversy
is closed, with the exception of the pos
sibility of few minor changes in the
law. The opponents of the present
system have given up their attempt to
abolish the offices of state printer and
binder. The legislature in joint con-
vention last Thursday elected Bernard
Murphy, of Ninton, state printer, and
Howard J. Tedford, of Mount Ayr,
state binder. Their terms of two years
each will begin January /, 1901. The
custom in the past has been to give
these officers three terms.
