inclined to be somewhat sensitive on
the question of party reorganization
and dismisses it after the of
the man who is anxious to drop an
unpleasant subject. With q majestic
wave of the hand he declares it to be
nonsense and then pays his respects to
the men responsible for the agitation.
He calls them deserters and says the
movement they are seeking to inaugu-
rate is not representative Of the spirit
of genuine democracy. This state
ment must be accepted as authorita-
tive, emanating as it does. At the
same time it would have been interest
ing to have heard the expressions of
Cleveland, Dickinson, Lamont and
the other distinguished gentlemen who
lay claims to the possession of a GER
tain amount Of knowledge as to what
constitutes the spirit Of genuine
democracy when they read M. Jones'
declarations over their morning cock
tail. The remarks they probably
made were not of q nature compli-
mentary to his good sense. On the
subject Of issues Mr.. Jones modestly
acknowledges his ingorance, in which
respect he differs materially from the
gentleman whom he sought to place
in the presidential chair. While he is
willing to await the evolvements of
the future, Mr.. Bryan is industriously
working his talking machinery and is
out issues F'while you wait,
with the promise that four years hence
he will have enough on hand to sup
ply both the home and foreign mar
kets and warranted to keep in any
climate.
Mr.. Jones is equally guarded in his
of the silver question. He
says it may solve itself, the position of
silver as a money metal being DEEPEN
dent upon the worlds output Of gold.
If the latter continues to be sufficient
to maintain the required volume Of
metallic money, he says, the silver
question will be subordinated. But
this he advances nothing new or
original. The events of the past
four years have established this fact
and have also given silver the secon-
lary position in the money metals it
now occupies, and to which sound
Judgment relegated it ever since the
of finance has received the at
minds capable Of understand
ing the subject. Much as he decried
it during the campaign, Mr.. Jones
virtually admits hat imperialism"
is not the menacing monster his party
sries to make it appear. He says that
The question may solve itself outside
If the ballot box.
With the exception of his acknowl-
of alleged surprise, the in
of Mr.. Jones is barely worth
attention and would receive but scant
consideration did it emanate from
my man, save the chairman of the
democratic committee.

THE SITUATION IN CHINA.

THE SITUATION IN CHINA.
While it may be a little early to
make such a prediction, still it begins
to look very much as if the United
States We're again about to make its
influence felt in shaping the affairs
of a large portion Of the world and Sc
cure European acquiescence to the
policy of moderation and humanity
which this nation has ever pursued in
it's dealings with the peoples of the
earth. It's suggestions to the powers
dealing with China are receiving rec
ognition from quarters that are SUI
prising and unless a very marked
change occurs in the situation, Ameri-
can diplomacy is about to achieve
another victory. The powers that at
first were inclined to resent what they
were pleased to designate the weak
ness and vacillation of the United
States are beginning to realize the
good Judgment and sound sense that
prompted this country when it pointed
out the folly of insisting upon de-
mands that China cannot possibly
comply with. The hint conveyed by
this government that it might find it
expedient to withdraw from the COLI
cert and conduct individual negotia-
lions with China in the event that the
European powers persisted in their
~exaction of demands that are I'M
reasonable and not based upon good
Judgment, promises not to be without
results. Above all things are the
powers anxious to have this govern
ment continue in harmony with them.
We're it to withdraw from the concert
they recognize that certain advantages
would accrue to it, and aside from
this the concert would speedily dis
solve itself and the other European
powers would probably be compelled
to submit to seeing Russia carry out
it's scheme of encroachment and an
nexation. By maintaining the concert

represented in the negotiations in pro-
gress is impossible.
Recently II proposition has been
made that is gaining in favor. This
is nothing less than to. transfer the
field of negotiations from Pekin to
some other place nearer to the heads
Of the government interested i'll their
progress. Expression has been made
in favor of The Hague, while Wash
ington has also been named in this
connection. The proposition has much
to commend it. One strong argument
that could be made in favor of it is
that it would probably take the entire
matter out of the hands of the ENJOYS
now carrying on negotiations and who
have shown themselves strongly preju-
diced against the Chinese. That they
should be is but natural, as they are
the n who suffered the most per-
sonally during the long time that in
tervened between the time of the be-
ginning Of the uprising and their own
relief by the allied forces.
