This was at first incomprehensible.
in view of the fact that fighting has
actually occurred. But the later
statement that the international
force would total $4,000 men on the
10th, appears to make clear Gen.
Terauchi's meaning and to recon-
Gle it with Gen. Chaffees des-
patches. The present movement of
some $4,000 men, doubtless is view
ed in the light of a reconnaissance
In force, the main movement of the
army of $4,000 to follow on the
10Th. This makes clear the mean
ing of Gen. Chaffee's despatch that
iangtsun was the objective point.
The War Department here has
been considerably puzzled over this
statement of an objective point far
short of Pekin. 1t would appear.
however, from Gen. Terauchis des-
patch that the first force of 10000

cations TO Yangtsun, brought for
ward supplies and established this
advance base, they way would then
be clear for the advance of the
larger force on the 18th.
IMPORTANT STRATEGY.
The capture of Yangtsun is.
therefore, an important strategic
branch of the fast maturing mill
tary plans. The place is about
eighteen miles beyond Tien Tsin.
and little less than quarter of
the way to Pekin. Col. Scriven's
statement Wire up" contains
much meaning, as 1t is accepted as
showing that there is direct tele-
graphic communication with the
army in the field. Aside from the
assurance this gives of speedy
transmission of news from the
front, it gives the additional as
surance that the line of communi-
cation is intact back to the first
base of operations. The capture
of Yangtsun on the day following
the battle Of Peitsang is regarded
as a highly successful military
achievement, especially in view OF

DESPATCH FROM GooDNoW.

Late in the day the State Depart
ment received an important des-
patch from Consul General Good
row, at Shanghai, announcing the
landing OF British troops at thar
point. The consul general did not
state that he had protested against
this action, and the State Depart
r-ent judged from this that no pro-
test would have been made by him
IN the absence of instructions. He
stated. however, that the merchants
OF the city strongly disapproved the
landing Of the British troops.
fearing that 1t would incite the
anti-foreign Chinese to hostilities.
The government at Washington
las taken no action in the nature
of a protest and it is stated ofIfc-
tally that no such action will be
taken. On the contrary the United
States government recognizes The
right OF any power to protect It's
citizens of their interests wher
they are supposed TO be in ieop-
ardy. As indicative Of this policy
1t is stated in the highest Of
ficial quarters that if the United
States citizens at Annoy, China.
were reported to be in danger. this
government would maintain its
right to promptly send an armed
force for their protection. This
right OF protection claimed BY the
United States is conceded to be
olen to all powers alike. At the
same time the State Department
recognizes that there is question
OF wisdom involved in this par

The use of the word demand" in
the American note thoroughly in
dicates the urgency of the mes
sage. In the technical parlance of
diplomacy it differs from an Ill
tlmatum, which usually fixes a
cate, or sets time within which
there must be compliance. the lack
of compliance during the stated
time being ground for war.
While a demand is less specific as
to time of compliance, it none the
less asserts a positive right which
the government will enforce, if the
right be not conceded. Owing to
the difficulties of communication
with Pekin it is expected that some
Gays must elapse before an answer
can be received and there is a dis
position to grant all reasonable
time for this transmission.

Changed Its Policy.

In 1872 among the resolves of the
republican party was one which said:
''We witness with pride the reduction
of the principal of the national debt"
Again in 1876, among the claims it
set forth for itself was it's reduction
of that debt and it's efforts in the d.
rcction of a policy necessary for the
reduction of the public debt, and in
1888 it's platform made boast that the
republican party had paid of a large
portion of the public debt.
The platform of 1900 makes a radi-
cal departure from these congratutory
resolves with which. the party had
patted itself on the back and con-
graduated itself upon its currency
measure passed at the recent session of
congress. That measure provides for
the issue of an unlimited amount of
national bank notes, and authorizes
the Secretary of the treasury to issue
government bonds without limit or
restriction. Since the times of the
former conventions the party has pas
| scd under the complete control of the
corporations and the money lenders
through whose influence law has
been procured to make the public
debt not only a perpetual burden up
on the Taxpayers, but have authorized
the Secretary to increase it to meet
| the demands of the banks for bonds
as the basis of banking.
The outstanding bonds may be cX
changed for new bonds to run fol
thirty years, and upon these bonds
bank notes may be issued to the face
value Of the bonds. The interest on
100000 of the bonds would be 50 Coz
a year. Under this law the banl
would receive 100000 in notes fer it.
100000 in bonds deposited With The
Controller of the currency, paying ONT
half of one per cent upon the amount
of bank notes taken, and that would
be all the money really invested by
the bank, $500, the interest upor
which would be $4,000. The green
backs are retired to make room TO
national bank notes, and for these th,
public debt is to be perpetuated.
Il And the notes which are authorizes
| by the new currency bill are not lie
gal tender for any purpose, except TO
debts due to National banks, note
made to Others held by banks for col
lection could not be paid with thes
new notes If their owner objected.

Much Ado About Nothing.

Much headlining of news containing

that every one of them is a died-in-

Jority of them are active beneticiaries
and members of the money trust and
OF the national bank coterie to whom
republican congress and president
nave delegated the authority to per-
form the governmental function OF
issuing the paper money of the ma
ton. A repetition of the names and
occupations of these so-called "leading
democrats will show the accuracy of
this conclusion. Here they are:
Vice president S. G. Nelson of the
Seaboard National bank, president
John r. Boone of the Colonial Trust
Trust company, George e. Williams,
president of the Chemical National
bank; Alexander Orr, president of the
chamber of commerce. All these are

such men as these are of the '.pocketn

Burlington, Iowa, are mentioned as

also is either national bank officer
or a holder of trust securities and
voted for Mckinley four years ago.
The democratic newspapers which
the Hanna organs are growing over as
