CHINA AND Uncle SAM.

Chinas Unexpectedly prompt accept
ance Of the peace conditions stipulated
in the joint note OF the Powers suddenly
and materially simplihes the otherwise
menacing situation In the Far East and
holds out promise of permanent tran
quilliiy greater than has AT any time
previous been perceptiblc.
1t would appear now. indeed, that
nothing but ruthless determination for
the forcing Of conditions that weuld
precipitate the dsmemherment Of China
can Interfere to prevent the early Tcstor-
alton of law and order and the estab-
llshment of n new and more definite un-
derstanding with China which should
produce infinitely better results than
have hitherto been possible. 1t is almost
needless to say that it such folly is
witnessed 1t will come from one or more
OF the land-hungry Governments OF the
Old World, unable TO restrain the greed
OF territorial conquest which is the be-
setting sin Of the Europe OF our day.
The American Government has thus
Tar acted in China with admirable faith
fulness to American tradition. IL was
through our characteristic energy, when
our Minister was In peril OF death, that
the beleaguered foreign legations I'm
Pekin were rescued. Ii was through our
subsequent policy OF Justice, fair play
and wise forbeerance that war was
averted. 1t is to US that the credit is
due for the pleasant fact that the dis
memberment OF China has not already
been begun. The laurcls won by Presi-
dent McKinley's administration in the
solution OF the Chinese problem have
been won In consonance with the best
American spirit.
1t Is now TO be hoped that the time is
not far distant when conditions in
China will make possible the withdrawal
or our troops and the renewal of friendly
and mutually advantageous relations.
China has exceptional cause TO be grate-
full TO this Government. Its gratitude
should be manifest from the moment
the foreign legations are once more es-
tabhshed I'm Pekin on the proper basis
of International representation.

THE PEOPLES WANTS.

December gave The Republic a ban
ner record in the matter Of the classified
advertising known as Wants" 1t
printed a total Of 24,127 want" adver-
tisements, the Post-Dispatch printing
"a, ,755 and the Globe-Democrat 205S2
The attentive reader of The Republic
will quickly recognize that 1t is distinct
ly the peoples paper in the true and
broad sense of the word. 1t is In no
sense the paper Of any one class, reach
ing the poor and the rich alike, and Of
equal interest to all In its advertising
as much as in its reading matter, The
Republic meets with comprehensive
completeness the wants Of all its readers
and Of all the people Of this great city.
From two up to six pages Of The Re
public are occupied from day to day in
the presentation Of an infinitely varied
announcement of the Wants" Of the
half million and more Of people who
live in st. Louis. And they are far from
being the least interesting or the least
read Of Its pages. No reader who wants
to do or to be anything, in the accom-
plishment Of which another person can
assist, can afford to omit q careful read

THE NEW NATION.

At the same moment when English
imperialists are rejoicing over the en-
thusiasm attending the Inauguration of
the Earl OF Hopetoun as the first Gov
ernor OF the Federated Australian Col
onIes. it is likely that the members of
the Australian party Of separation and
national independence see in this formal
celebration of the union OF the colonies
an advance movement toward the end
for which they are striving.
1t is undoubtedly true that the ma
tional spirit of Australia will be vastly
strengthened and vitalized by fedora
ton. While the British Government sig
naiizes Australian federation as bring
ing Australia TO her place among the
nations united under her Majesty's sov-
ereignty," 1t Is anything but improbable
that its real meaning Is the ultimate
withdrawal Of Australia from under the
sway Of the British Crown and the
final establishment Of a sovereign and
independent Australian Government
This should certainly be the logical re-
suit Of the awakening Of the national
spirit.
Nor does this fact imply that there
must needs be any repudiation of kin
ship or the development OF a spirit Of
hostility toward the mother country.
The St. Louis Republic., 1901-01-06

Tho desire for independence on the part
Of great, powerful and rapidly growing
people. remote from their fatherland and
necessarily becoming more and more
alien to the people Of that fatherland,
Is eminently natural. 1t is inevitable.
in fact, when the colonizing stock Is OF
sturdy and aggressive breed-the very
pioneer type, indeed. with which indom-
liable England has Invaded the remotest
quarters Of the globe.
Ii is TO tho blood of the
Anglo Saxon race. not TO colonial de-
Tendencies or Crown Provinces, that
Britain's Empire must look for its
strength In the event Of peril in the not
remote future. Ii ia this ABglo-SaXon
blood which VIII in time make all the
great colonies of England Independent
nations. Ii Is also this blood which will
forbid the overthrow OF the British En-
pire by any European coalition. The va
riOus heads Of the worlds great Anglo
Saxon families VIII stand together

MISSOURI FINANCES.

There Is significant evidence Of the
good standing Of the State Of Missouri
and Of the great advance the city Of st.
Louis has made in the financial world
in the transfer Of the Missouri fiscal
agency from New York to St. Louis
The notice Of the transfer which the
Board Of Fund Commissioners are re-
quired by law to give is presented
formally In an advertisement In another
column Of to-day's Republic.
This transfer Of the States fiscal
agency from q New York bank to the
Merchants-Laclede National Bank of 81.
Louis could not be made unless the State
was strong enough to dc business at
home on Just as favorable terms as It
can obtain by going abroad. Nor would
It be practicable and commendable ex-
cept for the fact that st. Louis has come
to such a position Of Importance and
power IN the financial world as to make
the transfer Of the agency entirely safe.
II is gratifying evidence that the time
has passed when 1t was necessary to
look to New York for the handling Of
our financial affairs-that the time has
come when the financial business of this
great State should be and will be at
tended to By its own citizens. 1t Is ono
more proof that the financial institu-
lions Of st. Louis rank with the strong
est Of the country and the Merchants
Laclede is to be congratulated upon its
effective demonstration Of this interest

PATHETIC END.

There is something Of pathos in the
recent meetings Of the Peoples Fund
and Public Welfare Association which
will appeal TO all those who respect op-
timists and idealists.
Some time ago James Eads How left
an inherited income TO '-the people," be-
lieving that his possession of the money
was contrary to principles which should
govern altruists. THE people," organ
lied an association with board of five
directors. The ruction in the association
came at the second annual meeting, when
discordant elements let theories go to
grass while practical politics played
havoc at the election. Mr.. How is now
in st. Louis In an effort to straIghten
out the tangle.
Developments Of this nature were to
be expected. However much the theories
which governed Mr.. How may be COM
mended, to those familiar with the prac-
teal conduct of affairs the failure Of
his plan was inevitable. Money left to
such an indefinite quantity as ''the peo-
pie" was sure to bring the selfshness Of
human nature to the fore. Restrictions
should have been thrown about the con-
trolling power.
Failure Of common sense has brought

MENTAL INTEGRITY.

Ignatius Donnelly was a man with
picturesque and striking characteristics.
His life was q striving after ideals. The
last thirty-five years Of his career, spent
in Minnesota, brought him before the
public time and again and always in
connection with something that de-
served serious consideration. whether it
was the foundation Of a new party or a
new exposition of the Baconian-cipher
theory.
He was unlike others who took q
prominent part in the public life of this
country. His prototype is perhaps more
common In England, where men Of let
ters engage to large extent In the po-
ntical councils Of the parties. He had
the active interest In present-day af-
fairs so rarely found in scholars. He
was theorist who gained more than A
modicum Of success In the practical field
Of State and national politics.
It was perhaps this cultivation Of the
mind that untitled him for greater hon
ors at the hands OF his admirers. His
great assimilation Of facts took a pecul-
lar twist In the deductions which he
made. While they made him an original
man, they also served to remove him
from consistent loyalty to any one
party.
No one doubted his integrity. His 10y
atty to what he believed was right was
proverbiaL 1t was this quality In his
character that made him respected IL not
popular.

CUM GRANO SAILS.

Shrewd druggists who have learned
the great truth that humanity Is very
much like a vast flock Of sheep In its
tendency to follow a bellwether will
now proceed TO lay In extra stocks Of
glycerophosphate OF sodium and pre-
pare for a revival of the strange rush
Of old folks who want TO be young
again and who believe Time can thus be
cheated.
This opportunity for a profitable deal
In sodium salt arises from the fact that
a new elixir of life has been discovered
Of which It is the principal ingredient.
II comes. of course, from Paris; 1t as
naturally found credence in the minds
OF two Chicago professors, and now we
hear Of 1t from New York-former
Mayor Hewitt Of the American metropo-
lis being reported as skipping around
like a boy under the stimulus Of the
saline injection. throwing OF about fifty
OF his seyenty-nine years with the great
est ease and abandon.
There will be no use trying to prevent
a wild stampede Of sncients headed for
the apothecary shops and shouting ca
gerly for glycerophosphate of sodium.
Since the days when Ponce de Leon
played his Fountain of Youth bunko
game for the purpose Of booming Florida
and for centuries before that, In all
hkelihood-old boys and girls have been
similarly deluded. About all now to be
done is to let them go their way, hoping
only that the sodium salt won't do them
any injury. But that they are doomed to
learn that one can't stop the flight OF
Time by putting salt on the old rascal's
tail, who will doubt?

HIS PREDICTION IS VERIFIED.

Northern Pacific railroad stock sold
at par in New York last week. The
fact was a source of great qualification
to Jay Cooke, once fam GUS as fnan-
cier, who is still alive at the age of 80
years, in Philadelphia. The Northern
Pacific was built on the faith of jaw
Cooke and his associates in the en-
terprise. 1t was the failure of the
banking house of Jay Cooke & Co. to
meet the interest on the bonds of the
Northern Pacific that led to the panic
of 1878, when Wall street was shaken
and hundreds of men and firms went
down in ruin. Jay Cookies firm was
among the wreckage after the catastro-
Pie, with $500 creditors. It is said
that every dollar of the debt of the firm
has been paid, and the old fnancler
still has comfortable fortune. Dur
ing all of the years Mr.. Cooke has re-
manned faithful to Northern Pacific
He predicted that he would live to see
the time that the stock would sell at
par, and he has done it.-Sayannah
