The news from Picking is not reassur-
ing. Some missionaries have returned
to their fields of labor in China and
others are preparing to follow their ex-
ample. That 1t Is hazardous cannot
well be doubted. The withdrawal Of
foreign troops is evidently misunder-
stood by the Chinese. They interpret
his to mean a freedom to act as they
please or as they have done. There is
profound fear in Picking Of a fresh out
break OF deviltry and destruction Of
life. Foreigners in Picking are now
subjected to insult on the streets. 1t Is
reported that the defences of the lega-
ton are incomplete. The work was so
badly, ~ineffectively done it a been
supplemented. Out Of Difference to the
Chinese the foreign ministers are having
the defenses strengthened, and to pre-
vent hostilities this must be done
with utmost quietness. This does not
bode peace and safety. 1t would have
been better never to have sent foreign
troops into China than to have the
work Of pacification and safety to for
eign residents unfinished, unworthy.
1t is reported as late as the 4th instant
that natives are growing ugly in behav-
ior as the troops leave. To SHOW how
particular foreign residents must be in
what they do. the following part of a
dispatch of the 4th from Peking is re-
produced: Major Edgar B. Robert
son, of the Ninth infantry, who COM
mands the United States legation guard
has written to Nj. Rockhill to protest
against what he calls the defenseless
position of III legation representing
hat it is exposed to attack on four
sides. Mr.. Rockhill has replied that it
is not intended to maintain a fortress,
but merely a wall for protection against
unexpected mob violence. The wall is
made of brick, out of Difference to Chi

PLAIN TALK FROM A UNITED
STATES SENATOR.

Senator Gilman is an able, bold man
and does not conceal his real opinions.
Wherever he speaks he speaks his mind.
He spoke at Milwaukee, Wis, on the
4th inst. He boldly justified lynch law,
and was applauded by a Wisconsin au-
dience. He said much that was new to
the ears Of his auditors. He spoke on
the race question. He declared squarely
that the white women cannot be de-
graded by making them testify as to
rapes in open court. He is right. He
did 10 uphold slavery, he said, but he
believed in lynching negro fiends, and
declared that the southern whites
would remain on top, Gin spite of the
devil" Here are a striking pair of par
agraphs:
I'm Wisconsin you have 5000 black
men," he said. "Why don't you try the
bleaching process and exterminate them
by intermarrying? The idea IS repus-
nant to you In south Carolina we have
10000 blacks and $4,000 whites. The
'carpet-baggers,' Niger and the south
ern s~calawags and scoundrels ruled
us after the war until they had stolen
everything there was in the state.
Then we went with our s%hotguns to the
polls and took it away from them. All
men are not created equal, and the
'niggers' are not fit to vote. Come what
may. the white people of the south will
govern their own country"
HE condemned Booker Washing
toms scheme of educating the negro
along industrial lines as an attempt to
place him on an equality with the white
artisan, something that would inten-
sify race hatred in the south. He said
that among the 1000. 900 slaves during
the civil war there were more Chris
tians than there are today among the
1900, 900 blacks in the south"
