There is something grimly humorous
about the attitude assumed toward each
other and toward the Chinese empire by
the English and Russian authorities in
the difficulty at Tien Tsin.
Russia has just emerged from a most
elaborate declaration made by her foreign
minister. that the great end and aim of
Russian policy in the Flowery Kingdom
is to restore Chinese authority and to
preserve the autonomy of the Chinese ma
ton. Not even in Manchuria the world
thought the part of Russian authority
to impugn in any way the territorial
integrity Of China.
OF course we all understand that Russia
and England, in common with all the
other great national promoters of Chris
tian civilization. have had their armies
in China for the single purpose Of putting
an end to the Boxer rebellion, and for the
protection of the lives and property of
foreign residents These two nations, in
common with all the others, have made
formal declaration of devotion to the
theory Of the open door, and they have
united in groups for the avowed purpose
of preventing an attempt to absorb any
more Chinese territory.
Yet for some time before the trouble
which has been for the moment allayed
we who read cable dispatches heard ref
erences to the foreign reservation in and
around Tien Tsin, which were not quite
plain. And now, the two nations which
have perhaps, been the loudest in their
disavowals Of all purpose to interfere in
any way with the territorial integrity Of
China are observed like two bandits, fall
ing out over the spoils of the victim
whom they have feeced. Other members
Of the band intervene, and by referring
the division of the-territorial swag to ar
bitration, they succeed for the time in
averting serious falling out.
1t is hard to maintain serious face
while this open and unconcealed maraud-
ing is in progress on the -lrt of ma
tons whose leading statesmen vie with
each other in presenting to the world
their assurances that they are in China
for China's good and that their ultimate
Chinese authority over Chinese territory.

THR VACCINATION CONTROVERSY.

u
The decision of Judge Lewis on the
anti-vaccipation proceedings, while it is
qualified 10y the assumption that vac
cmation is a remedy for smallpox, and
assumptions which are based on the adj
missions in the papers OF the petitioner
VIII be generally accepted as conclusive
of the issue raised by those who are op-
posed to the enforcement of the vaecina-
ton regulation.
we can all respect the feelings of those
who are unwilling to submit to the pro.
cess of vaccination; but it would be folly
to lose sight of the vast public i'm
portance of the right of the sanitary
authorities to enforce such regulations
as they deem necessary to the health
of the community. 1t will, perhaps,
under the circumstances. remain always
a matter Of dispute among a certain
minority of intelligent people whether the
vaccination process is effective as pre-
ventive of the smallpox infection, and
many Will even adhere to the opinion
that it is dangerous in its effects upon
the human system; but with all the en-
hghtenment which science offers on the
subject it is fair to say at least that the
great preponderance of evidence is in
favor OF the theory that vaccination is
necessary as d preventive of the disease.
If this litigation is to be carried on
further the Clio E would decline to
consider the merits of either contention
But the matter has progressed so far
already as to lend some measure of pub
lie favor 10 the theory that all question
as to the right of the state and local
health authorities to take any and every
step which they deem essential should
be removed by express legal enactment
Society enjoys today great advantages
in the perfection which has been attained
in the application of sanitary precautions
and remedies. Great advances are being
daily made in the knowledge which is
essential to the protection of the public
health. UnSenitary conditions are now
the exception, instead of the rule as was
the case even a few years ago If the
courts should decide that there is nothing
in the process of vaccination protective
Of individual health against the disease
of smallpox, or that it's application is not
demanded by existing conditions, of
course remedies for the disease must be
looked for elsewhere. For the present at
least all good citizens are called on not
only not to place any obstruction in the
path of the health officials moving in this
direction, but to promote in every way
in their power such general compliance
with the requirement of vaccination as
to remove all uneasiness, public and
private as to the possible spread of the
contagion Of smallpox

The convention of American republics
which is to meet in the city of Mexico

men Of this or any other century; a man
whom history Will name the American

shoulder to shoulder with Count Ito of
Japan and de Wnte of Russia-Porfirio
Diaz, president of Mexico
For twenty-five years this man of
brains and iron has been the pivot
around which the destinies of Mexico re-
volved. He found the nation Gf such it
could be called in state of ignorance
and anarchy, torn with factional strife
and political intrigue; it's business stag
nant and its resources undeveloped. Out
Of chaos he brought order He united
factions and suppressed conspiracies; he
revived business and opened up the re-
sources of the nation; he established
schools and aroused spirit of national
patriotism. He found Mexico nation

the short span of twenty-five years has
made it nation and republic in fact.
He has been called Diaz, the dictator. Be

to her peace, prosperity and individual
liberty. If dictators are made of the ma

give the world more dictators-they are
needed
We are apt to judge the acts of all
rulers from our own view point. To the
yard measure of Anglo Saxon conditions
all men must conform. IF they seize
power for the sake of the governed for
the sake of the state, we clepe them
dictators because such an act would be
highly dictatorial in this republic. We
forget that by reason of circumstances
such an act is often mark of the high
est patriotism. All peoples are not fit
for a democratic or republican form Of
government. Mexico, upon gaining her
independence in 1857 was not ready to be
her own master, as the record of the
years that followed all too clearly show.

THE MARsEILLEs RIOTS.

The trouble which the French authori-
ties have for many months been ex-
periencing in Marseilles, and which broke
out in extensive riots within the past
day or two, is evidently only the prelude
to much more serious difficulty in the
future unless the government, of the
republic take some adequate steps to
avert the violence which is certain to
come The French are far behind the
English and the Germans in public
provision made regarding the rights and
privileges of mechanical operatives. The
national industries of that country are
in greater measure in the control of in
dividuals and cover a WIDER area of ma
tional territory than perhaps in any
other important European country. The
trust has made but little or no head
way; and the old conditions pertaining
to employer and employe still prevail
all over the country.
1t is not until within the rast few
months that any serious effort has been
| made by public authority in France to
establish any means Of adjustment of
industrial difficulties; and the machinery
chosen for the purpose As, TO the Ameri-
can understanding, so utterly clumsy
and i'll adapted to it's purpose as to offer
very little hope of good results.
In French industrial life everything
has been left to Individual adjustment
as to hours, the duration of day
labor, compensation and general treat
ment of employees in the mechanical call
! ings Recently, however, the French
| workman has been turning his thoughts
toward organization as means of i'm
proving the conditions attending his
life and labor. His demands are being
put forward with something more of in
/ sistance in his tone than formerly, and
he is not content, especially when IN
| the employment of large corporations, to
accept the conditions prescribed FOR him.
There is something deeper and more
far-reaching in the Marseilles riots than
is indicated by the statement that the
trouble arose out of the great numbers
| of italian laborers at work in the city.
1t Is the native French workman, OF
/ whom outsiders have had bat little

municipal elections, but last year they
were first used in presidential cleo

used in Buffalo last fall and gave entire
satisfaction. The results of the election
were footed: UP and delivered at the city
hall one-half hour after the close of the
polls and in fifteen minutes more the re-

candidates. The criticism that the ma
chine would increase the tendency to

election, as the majorities varied from
$3.50 in the case of the state comptroller
to 1852 for lieutenant governor.
