THE CHINESE QUESTION.

The present conditions in China are
far from reassuring, but at the worst
there is hardly a Likelihood that 1t will
be necessary for this country to 60 TO
war with the MOngolians. There can
be but little doubt that all foreigners
have been maltreated, but 1t is not
clear that this was done by the gov
ernmsni, nor that it is not ready TO In
demnify the nations Tor any indiscrs-
tons on the part Of its subjects. The
government OF China may oil may not
be TO blame, and in any event, IT would
be the heighth Of folly to entangle our
selves ID the affairs Of China until we
can at least have the strongest proof
Of its necessity. We favor the policy
that demands the safety Of Americans
in any part Of the world, but we do
sot favor the policy Of going to war
with any nation because Americans
may have suffered during q rebellion
against the organized powers and in
spite Of them.
II on the other hand the Chinese
government is at fault, we believe that
the allied powers should and will
bring It to submission and secure
ample redress for al the crimes CON-
mitted agains. civilization. Should
we become involved the American
people will be as o man in their
defense and support Of this govern
ment, whether acting independently or
in cooperation with the powers Of
Europe, but when redress shall have
been made for our wrongs we want no
s'pig tails" left on our hands whether
they are bought and paid fer or not.
Other nations may quarrel and hght
over the slice they are to get out Of
China, bot UAele Sam has enough
troubles Ia the east just al present
without looking for any more.
