CHRIsTENDoM HAS CAUSE TO BLUSH.
DisqracefuI Acts of Murder, Outrage and
PiIIaqe in China.

A New York Herald special from
Pekin says:
The family of Luesen, minister OF
foreign affairs, who was executed oy
the empress dowager because he would
not sanction the ant i-foreign move
ment, has complained TO the IN
ternational government OF Pekln,
charging Bishop Favier, who is now ID
France, with looting their house OF
money and valuables to an aggregate
of a million taels about S7OO,OOO) on
the day after the seige was raised.
The league OF civilian looters OF all
nationalities has been disrupted by
differences which have arisen over the
spoils, and there now seems to to be
chance for honest men, including the
Chinese, to get their dues. lfonly one
tenth of the cases of murder, assault
and robbery against the foreigners are
substantiated, as there is much reason
TO believe will be the case, Chrlsten-
dom will have cause to blush Tor
shame.
The family of Luesens state that the
stolen property is now in the possession
of Herbet l.. Squires, first secretary OF
the American legation, and is about to
be shipped away.

The Farmers and Their Homes.
rom the Monltrie Observer.

From the Moultrie Observer,
The earnest suggestions of Commits
sioner O. B. Stevens as to the import
ance of farmers identifying their
homes should not fall lightly upon the
ears of thinking people. 1t has often
been a subject of wonder that the in
telligent farmer so frequently-al-
most acknowledgements much time in
his fields and orchards to make them
attractive and when he has worked
up to his house and yard he stops and
seems to think efforts to beautify his
home and make it convenient and at
tractive are entirely unnecessary and
a useless expense. 1t is no wonder that
the efforts of the farmer to prevent his
daughters, especially sons, from
drifting cityward is often failure.
The love of attractive surroundings
and comforts is inherent in every
young nature, and if home does not
supply it they are sure to drift else
where. This step OF making home at
tractive in the country seems to prom
Use one of the Goth century reforms
which we trust will be speedily adopt
by the farmers.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Dependency in England.

From the Savannah News.
The Respondent tone of the English
press is beginning to attract attention
and excite comment. 1t might be sup
posed from what many of their leading
papers are saying that the people of
England think the empire has reached
the limit of its power and greatness, if
in fact it has not already begun to de-
cline. 1t may be that the feeling is due
largely to the enormous cost of the
South African war and the doubt there
exists as to the outcome of that war.
Besides, a large percentage of the
British people believe the war is an
unjust one, and that it is going to cause
the nation vast amount of additional
trouble before it is ended.

THE REPUBLICANS AND CUBA.

According to present indications
congress is preparing to obviate the
necessity of an extra session by adopt
inc a resolution authorizingcthe presl-
dent TO withdraw the United States
army from Cuba and turn the island
over to it's own people as soon as GER
tain conditions are inserted IN the new
Cuban constitution. These condl-
tions include grants of naval stations
and formal consent to submit the exer-
else of the debt making and treaty
making powers of the new government
to the supervision of the United States.
In other words, the republicans seem
to have about made up their minds
that they can do by indirection what
they cannot do by direction: they hold
that they cannot amend the Cuban
constitution, but they insist that they
can compel the Cubans TO amend 1t as
this country may desire. This IS GER
taiply amazing in view of the follow
ing resolution unanimously adopted by
congress and signed by President Nc
Kinley
THAT the United States hereby dis
claim any disposition or intention to
exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control over said island, except for the
pacifcation thereof, and assert their
determination when that is completed
to leave the government and control
of the island to its people.
Under this resolution it is difficult
for any honest man to see what either
congress or the president has to do
with the matter further than to make
sure that qualification" has been
brought about The position OF the
democrats in congress, therefore, is
that the president should withdraw
from the island the moment a stable
government has been established, IT.
respective of whether the United
States has gotten all it wants or not.
