Too Bad about the Gar.

1t seems that the poor Russian
Gar is in a state of nervous pros
tration. He cannot sleep or eat,
according 70 the New York GoHy-
nat, and his dear family is really
as nervous as he is. Too badl
isn't it2
But there is another side to the
case. When the students in he
Russian colleges objected TO being
drafted into the army wholesale as
a discipline and against their will,
the Cossacks were turned loose
upon them.
These Cossack gentlemen car
ried whips with numerous lashes
ard bullet attached to the end OF
each lash. They beat the students
with these whips, and ten Of them
died.
These ten students (among a
great many othersl are removed
from all danger Of nervous pros
tration and indigestion. They have
been done for.
The Gar remains, suffering with
his nerves. We dare say that he
will suffer, and that all his descend
ants will suffer with him, until
these men, beaten to death, for as.
serting their rights, shall have
been properly avenged.
Nervous prostration is a small
punishment for murder. "An eye
for an eve, and a tooth for tooth"
comes nearer to the real thing. If
IN America we should hear that
the Gar and nine OF his relatives
were beaten to death with loaded
whips, we should feel inclined TO
say that the score was about set
tled-as all men are theoretically
even here-and casually we should
predict that the next Gar would
arm his Cossacks more mildly.
THE Kaiser has ordered that the
study Of English shall replace that
OF French in the high schools o
Germany.

Lord Salisbury often rivals the brutal

deal with a resolution proposed by Lord
Herries on the subject of the oath taken
by the sovereign at the opening OF the

which Roman Catholics object as of

have employed a stronger phrase.

The Looting = OF China by the Powers.
The European powers seem to
be on the point OF giving the world
an other exhibition OF their lootIng
propensities. Their claims upon
China for indemnity, it is said, will
exceed S4oo, ,ooo. .ooo--a sum which
trustworthy authorities declare il
will be impossible for the Chinese
Government to pay. An extraor-
binary feature OF the proposed de-
spoiliatIon OF helpless people is
the tact that demands for large
sums are made by European Pov-
ernments which have scarcely any
interests in China and whose sub
jects sustained little loss during
the Boxer uprising. AS China is
unable to resist any demands, heS-.
ever, the little countries evidently
hope to get their share Of the loot.
Spain, Holland. Belgium and Por
tUgal took no part in the military
operations and sent neither sol
dIers nor sailors to China. STILL
each one Of these countries has
filed a claim for indemnify and ex-
poets to get some OF the spoils.
Their claims. together with those
oil Italy and Austria, amount to
SIoo, 900, ,ooo--a sum equal to
about one half OF the amount which
China would be able to pay by in
creasing taxation.
China has b en- deeply humil-
lated by the terms imposed by the
powers. To add to the injury by
compelling the Imperial Govern
ment to pay an enormous indem-
nifty would be not only unjustifia-
BILE, but disgraceful. The allies
have already done entirely too
much lootIng in the name Of civil
ization. Further plundering should
not be encouraged, even if it takes
the form ofindemnity.
