THE FATE OF MANChURIA.

Whatever may come OF disPuta'
tions the powers in China it IS
pretty certain that Russia intends
to add Manchuria to its already exN
tensive empire. According to
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang,
Russia has demanded absolute
control of Manchuria, declaring
that none but Chinese and Russ
SLAMS shall be permitted to trade
there. 1t is more than probable
from the past attitude of these willy
Celestial diplomats toward Russia
that they are more than willing to
comply with the demands of the
car, but by so doing they fear they
will rouse the anger of the other
powers. Hence their proposal to
lay the matter before the foreign
ministers for consideration.
The powers will unquestionably
combat the Russian monopoly OF
the Manchuria trade, but it is a
question whether, with Russian
troops already occupying this pro-
vince and the facility with which
Russia can pour in reintorcements,
the car will consider it worth his
while to make any concessions.
The decided attitude he has already
taken indicates that he will not.
Manchuria is a valuable province
and once having got his paws upon
it the Russian bear is not likely to
take them off, unless absolutely
forced to.
Lying in the northern part OF
China, Manchuria embraces nearly
100000 square miles Of the Celes>
tial empire Its population, con-
sisting mainly Of Chinese of the
Tartar family, is estimated all the
way from eight to eighteen million.
The mountains and plateaus are
covered with virgin forests Of ines
timable value. The valleys and
plains to the south are fertile and
well cultivated, producing large
quantities Of opium poppies, wheat
and other grains.
While the other powers have
been occupied in disputing about
indemnity and an open door, Russ
sia has quietly gathered in all this
valuable territory and there is little
doubt that it will not be allowed to
slip from Russian control.-Salt

STRENGTH OOZlNG AWAY.

STRENGTH OOZlNG AWAY.
The Aspen Democrat says what
a number Of editorials will be hurl-
ed at Mckinley for the splendor
OF his Inauguration ceremonies.
The people will read and laugh,
Some will condemn in the tones of
the editorial writer, and others will
say "let them spend, then we'll get
some of it." In the meantime the
strength of the republic is oozing
away in the blaze Of imperialistic
tendencies evidenced by lavish ex>
penditrres and the discarding of
the simplicity which made the ma
ton noted. In the speech Of the
Hon. John C. Bell is the following
which illustrates the trend of the
arstocratic mind:
"Our children are being instilled
with a contempt for these simple
and democratic customs. Lillian
Bell, the Mark Twain of her sex,
alter being entertained by aristo>
cracy at the different courts OF Eu>
rope, and after having seen our
representatives in their plain black
broadcloth mixing with the minis
ters OF the monarchies of Europe.
with their glittering and jingling
gold lace and dangling swords, in
disgust wrote in her most instrucN
tive work, "As Seen BY Me-" If
it were really Thomas Jefferson
whose administration inaugurated
the disgusting simplicity which
goes by his name, wish the words
had stuck in his throat and strang-
led him Jefcrsonian simplicity |
despise it! Thomas Jefferson, | be-
lieve, was the first populist. We had
had gentlemen tor presidents be-
fore him, but he was the first one
who rooted for votes among The
common herd by catering to the
gutter instead Of the sky line, and
the tail end of this policy is to be
seen in the mortifying appearance
Of our highest officials and repre>
sentatives.
What an indictment by bril-
liant woman of great son of her
native state. Like criticisms are ap>
pearing everywhere in diplomatic
circles, in the army, in the navy,
aud among the people, and ere
long our diplomats will shed their
proverbial simple black broadcloth
and be regaled i'll the gold laces
and clanking swords of the repre-
sentatives of the monarchies, and
will exchange their simple unpre-
tentious modes of living for the
royal glare, purple robes. and great
display OF national wealth, thereby
bIotring out this distinction be
tween the ways of simple republic
and that of an empire in foreign
lands"

rHE COMPLAINT OF ENGLAND.

The communication from Lord Lansdowne the foreign
minister Of the British government declining to accept the
provisions of the HayPauncefoe treaty amended by the
United States senate is not in the nature of similar docu
ments that have been received from the British
heretofore
There nothing partakng of bluff about the communi-
cation other hand it is plea for fair treatment
Of British interests and the keynote is that the United
States has been nconsdere of English rights and tradi

other nation would be subjected to the treaty ap

1t is something new to hear the British government com
