vantage of the special and Pc
Guitar privileges extended to them
nv Republican congress, that
party rendered 1t possible for them
to absolutely control the labor mar
ket. Wages were Systematically and gen.
eral,y reduced by the strong combination
Of EMPLOYERS, and when the intelligent
American workmen and the well paid and
intelligent high class German, Scandina-
Wan or British workmen who had freely
made this country tneir home objected to
the reduction, the employers imported
herdes Of chear italian and Hungarian
laborers under contract to dispossess and
fill the places Of the Industrious, intelli-
gent men who could not submit to starva-
ton wages.
Thousands of the lowest class Of Eu-
ropean unskilled Iaborers were brought
over to fill the places of American work
men in the shops, the foundries, the
mines and the mills. and the tragedy Of
the Homestead works was one of the re-
suits.
The after results are now upon US, and
manifest themselves in horrible plottings
by blood-stained organtza lions. In frantic
outbreaks like the Haymarket horror in
Chicago, and shocking slaughters like
those in New Orleans In Chicago last
Sunday the worst elements OF the an
archical crew were very much In ev-
idence, and but spark was needed to
cause another dreadful explosion.
The American mind cannot understand
the mental and moral condition which
makes the anarchist a possibility. His
point Of view is inconceivable to the man
who has hope, energy and the inspiration
OF freedom and equality Anarchy is a
disease which can only be contracted
where there is no freedom, no equality
and no hope Of better things Once con-
tracted, recovery is hopeless, and to the
Republican party are due the conditions
which have led to the wholesale nitro
duction into the United States of those
incurable and dangerous worcestershire
anarchists.
OF course the Republican newspapers
will hold up their hands In horror and
deny these allegations; 1t will not be the
first time that they will have denied the
truth. The facts are known to the peo-
pie; the responsibility is placed upon the
shoulders Of the guilty Vince and pro-
fdS hnxr I,
ciety lies at the door Of the leaders Of
the Republican party, who, by their min
istraton to sordid greed, have introduced
into this free country the most loathsome
development of human degradation and
savagery which the world has known.

THE FUTURE OF CHINA.

Whatever may be the Immediate results
Of the present movement of the forces of
the powers on Pekin, and in whatever
way the present intense crisis may be al
layed. there can be little doubt but that
the Chinese nation will before long yield
TO the dominant influences Of Western
civilization.
We know enough Of the Chinaman,
even Of him who is lowest in the scale of
Chinese civilization, to regard him as a
being of exceptional physical energy, of
the highest powers of application, fru-
gal, industrious, and, If not naturally
truthful, at least scrupulously faithful to
his engagements in business. The mass
Of Chinese people have been held In q
state Of ignorance and vassalage by de-
crepit ecclesiastical and civil institutions.
The natural genius of the race has been
bnghted. The national, as well as the in
dividual. energies have been Slapped by
the demands of a huge system OF organ
lied superstition. A naturally initiative
race mas been kept bound fast to
usages and traditions centuries old, and
has been prevented. under operation of
the most deterrent forces, from partici-
pating in the progression of modern life.
What will happen to this race when it
has consented to accept modern enlighten-
ment, as It surely will within the next
decade? Will it continue to wage fruit
less war against the foreign devil and
his ideas and usages? Or will it rather
adopt those idease and usages and make
use Of its rare initiative powers for its
own material gain? Should this latter
course, which is beyond all dispute the
more likely of the two, be adopted by the
Chinese, what will the effect be upon their
civilization and on the claims of the ma
lions which are now contemplating the
partition among them of Chinese terri
tory?
Every race which has passed under Eu-
ropean subsection has been lacking more

Plea for Mr.. Lowry.

To the Editor of the Globe.
1t is noticed In the Dispatch of the
9Th inst that another Liliputian attempt
was made before the county commission
ers to in some way increase the burthen
of taxation against the city railway COM
pany. Without attempting to justify or
condemn tho action of the city council in
its dealing with Thomas Lowry, it IS suff-
cient to say that when the magnate as
stunned the control of the streets of St.
Paul by permission of the authorities 1t
was at a time when a crisis had been
reached in the life and death of the mu-
nicipality. At that time there did not
appear to be man, or any set of men,
who were willing or had the requisite
stamina to undertake the construction of
a municipal railway system which SEEM
ed so important at the time. 1t was then
that the opportunity was seen and en-
braced by that Napoleon in city tram
ways, Thomas Lowry, who subsequently
constructed and presented to the people
of st, Paul the finest system of railway
service, that Is not equaled today in the
United States, or probably in Europe.
Thomas Lowry accepted the terms de-
manded by the city powers, and faithfully
fulfilled the Obligation imposed upon him
without any hope of immediate recon-
pense. 1t was a vast expenditure, for
long time without adequate return, but
having an abiding faith in the further
development of his system, he was will
Ing to work and wait until the fulfillment
of the hopes he had of ultimate success.
Success has now crowned his efforts, and
his dreams Of the future have material
lied in the grandest system of the coun-
try. Under all the adverse circumstances
that have surrounded his undertaking
and the manner in which he has brought
order out of chaos, is not Mr.. Lowry en-
titled to the gratitude of the community,
instead Of the continued fault finding with
which he Is beset2 He has established
palattal cars on ell of the principal thor
oughfares Of the city, furnished with all
the modern Improvements known to rail-
way service, and yet the more he does
for the people the more they seem to
want. The writer has been led to under
stand that the taxation he readily sub
mits to amounts to not much less than
100000 per annum, which goes, 1t is sup
posed, to expand in no small way the tax
budget of the SANITY City. Let cavil
cease and praise not undeserved be the

THAT MICHIGAN WAGER.

The latest Michigan political bet seems
to capture the national bun. says the
Cleveland Plaindealer. Citizen Stebbins
has agreed with Citizen Williams that If
President Mckinley is elected Citizen
Williams is to support Citizen Stebbins'
mother-in-law to theE end of her days.
If Candidate Bryan is elected, then
Citizen Stebbins is to twist the tail of
Citizen Williams mule once a day for
three weeks-ot until permanently dis
abled.
That's the way the bet stands and both
men appear to be In deadly earnest. The
feelings of the mother-in-law and the
mule have not been ascertained Neither
Of them has any cause to be gratided
over their respective parts in this alb
surd drama The inference is that it's
a case of sudden death on one hand and
of lingering tortures on the other. If
the mother-in-law has the proper moth
er-in-law spirit she will smash this lit
tie wager into inffnitesimal particles.
OF course mule has no spirit, but
this will not debar him from registering
vigorous kick.

CROPS IN KANSAS.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 9.-The condition
Of the Kansas corn crop is given official
ly as 81 per cent. This estimate is based
on returns from every school district in
Kansas, dated Aug. 4. Since then the
corn has suffered some from the con-
tinued dry and hot weather. so that ''haIf
a crop" Is the best that can reasonably
be expected.
By the same official report issued by
the state board of agriculture tonight
the total wheat yield is reported officially
as Il, 1881 900 bushels. This is the largest
crop of wheat ever grown In any year
by any American state. The wheat har-
vest is over and the figures may be ac-
cepted as correct.
