Chinese heroism.
Lynchburg News.

LynchDurg News
Rev. J. Mercer Blair, missionary to
China, who has frequently visited friends
and relatives in Lynchburg, relates the
following interesting incident of Chinese
nobility of character:
Last summer, when the imperial edict
ordering the massacre of all foreigners was
issued, 1t had to pass through the hands
of two high officials before reaching the
vicarage. These officials, both of whom
were Kashing men, saw at once that the
execution ofsuch decree would mean
the ruin of their country and before for
warding the decree they altered some OF
the characters making it a command to
protect the foreigners; at the same time
they sent away their families, telling them
that for the sake of their country they had
done something which would certainly
cause their death. The matter of course
was found out when the vicarage reported
that they were disoDeying orders and pro-
tecting foreigners. The two officials were
at once summoned before the Empress
Dowager, and it is said she WAS much
touched by their story and might even
have pardoned them had not Prince Tuan
come in at this juncture and demanded
their death. They we're accordingly exc
cuted.

RsBUKIke John J. LENTZ.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
When John ]. Lentz, q member of Con-
gress from Ohio, made his half reasonable
speech in the House Of Representatives
the other day he probably imagined that
he would be approved and applsuded by
his party newspapers and made q hero in
party assemblies. He remembers how
Yallsndigham and other reasonable Dem
ocrats we're supported and cheered on in
their course during the War of the Rebel
lion, and he naturally expected the same
notoriety aud short-lived glory.
BIT to the honor Of the Democratic
newspapers, be it said, they are rebukiug
Lentz and denying his right to speak for
the Democratic party. The Detroit Free
Press, for instance, speaks of him as be-
longing ito that unhappy class OF states
men that Injuries any important cause with
which it is actively identified. 1t is made
up Of those fool friends who can not bride
their tongues, control their tempers or
keep within the bounds of rational discus
sion." But the utterance of the Atlanta
Constitution is the most significant Under
the heading: "Not Democratic Speech"
it says -
1.-THE speech of Congressman John ].
Lentz, of Ohio, in which, in effect, he
openly advocated desertion from the army
in the Philippines and repeated anony-
NOUS charges against cur soldiers, was not
only foolish, but wicked. The misfortune
of the situation lie that be will be quoted ss
Democrat, making millions of patriotic
citizens share responsibility for bis vapid
utterances. His career during the present
session of Congress has been that of com.
mon scold, who, from a platform of Ish.
maelitism, has struck out blindly against
every interest presented. The worst Of it
all is that Mr.. Lentz is not alone. From
the beginning of the present session the
Democratic minority has acted without
pan OI COucciOus IL uno beu nv OCuuSu
policy and every man has struck out for
himself without regard to either present or
future. When such men as Mr.. Lentz
think they can build up. a party on the
discreditng Of our own national agencies
and the belittling of American manhood
they fall into grevious error"
This rebuke of Lentz by one of the lead
ing Democratic newspapers of the South is
as timely and singing as it is deserved.
No man in the present Congress has made
himself so obnoxious to the intelligent,
fair minded people of the country as this
Lent. He has gone out of his way to adj
yertise bis lack of every quality that dis
tinguishes a legislator. There was no doubt
that the great majority of people disap-
proved his language and course. The only
question was whether bis own party would

BOLD IN THEIR THIEvERY.
Mexicans Show Great Audacity in Sc
curing Illicit Plunder-Incident
witnessed by a Traveller.

"The thing which struck me the most
forcibly in Mexico" said j. D. Proud
fut, who has just returned from visit
to the far south, to a Kansas City Jour-
nal reporter, sis the holiness and cleV-
erness of the sneak thieves who infest
the national capital. They call them
rateros down there, and if that word
comes from rat it is well taken. The
day before l left Mexico ar old gentle
man came in on a train and put his
head out of the car window to see the
sights. Just as the train pulled up at
the depot a rateros on the platform
snatched off the old gentleman's hat.
The old gentleman ran out OF the car
and, seeing the thief, he set his valise
down in order to give chase. In an in
slant another rateros had swiped the
valise and both of the thieves got away.
1.-THE old gentleman went to a hotel
and barely unpacked his trunk when
young man appeared in his room and
called for his dirty clothes for the laun-
dry. The young man was another rat
eros and he got nearly every stitch OF
wearing apparel the old gentleman had.

anybody has been unkind or inconsider-
ate, or self-absorbed or morbid or un-

leaf. But all this should be done quiet

GNAWING A FILE.


The Democrats in tue Senate spent yes
terday gnawing a file. Their speeches
against The Philippine policy of the Adj
ministration are varously described as
''impassioned, ;" startling" and "bitter. "
The Republicans sat at their desks and
wrote or read or reposed in committee or
lunch rooms until the time came and then
voted solidly for the Administration policy
and adopted it,
The truth is, there is war in the Philip
pines, in some Of the islands there is chaos
from which order must be evolved. The
work must he done with the strong hand
and bv direct means. 1t is not situation
to be droned over by collection of poll
ticians three thousand miles away. 1t is
situation in which the power and respon-
sbility must be lodged in some one man.
No Congress can wage and conduct war
because the operations of war are not mat
ters for debate at distance. The Contl-
mental Congress worried George Washing
ton half to death and the interference OF
statesmen constantly hampered the work
of soldiers on both sides in our Civil War
The Democrats of the present Congress
are apparently trying to carry the country
back to the time of the confederation be-
fore the adoption of the Constitution when
we had no effective government and in
efficiency and confusion were everywhere.
They are sticking manfully to the same
tactics which have brought them from a
formidable and controlling force in Con-
gress to an impotent and unconsidered
minority unable to do anything but talk.
They have persistently arrayed themselves
for inaction and delay aud against every
effort to do something. The American
people want action and achievement. They
will forgive blunder but they will not
tolerate belplessness and hesitation. Tie
sooner the Democrats get that idea into
their heads aud act on it, the better will
be their prospects for success.
