CHINA NOT CALM.

REPORTS from China show that calm
has not anite settled down over the pao-
pie, after the last storm. The hatred
Of foreigner ls not less than formerly.
New outbfeaks Of violence are reported.
Rebels are said to have sacked Ger
man mission at Plans Thong and an at
tack Is reported on the city Of Human,
while another was attempted on the
city Of shakma.
All this was to be expected In
country where there is no press, news
is slow to spread, and in its winding
course from place to place It Is liable
TO assume all kinds OF distorted forms.
Millions IN China have not yet heard of
the Invasion by the foreigners, and per-
haps never will, Others who have heard
OF 1t, have undoubtedly an idea that the
imperial government came out victor
ious. Even the explatory mission OF
Prince Chun to Germany will be con-
strued as a triumph for the Chinese,
and the attack on the German mission
il an evidence Of the contempt in which
the rebellious boxers hold that power.
The Chinese government is said to
have taken steps for the suppression of
the riots, but Is there any assurance
that the authorities are not acting with
them. as they we're once before? The
insincerity Of the government In carry
ing out reforms on compulsion cannot
be greatly wondered at
The situation in China seems to re-
main, on the whole, as 1t was before the
Invasion which was to set everything
right. That costly undertaking did not
have the effect aimed at. In all prob
ability another settlement Of the Chin
csc question win be called for at some
time. but then the experience now so
dearly gained should be Of the greatest
practical value.

TO SECURE HER RELEASE.

II there Is no other way Of securing the
prompt release OF Miss Stone from cap
tlyity among Turkish brigands, than by
raising the excessive ransom demanded
--sil0,0Oo-by public subscription, this
should be done. and the movement set
afoot for It's accomplishment seems to
meet with so much support that II no
doubt viii be done In short time.
The objection that by paying the ran
som a dangerous precedent will be es-
tablished, though dictated by cold
prudence. cannot be given much
weight. The first question is TO extri-
cate an American lady from an exceed
ingly unpleasant, perhaps dangerous,
situation, no matter how. Brlgands who
dared to abduct her and her compan-
ion, cannot be counted on TO treat the
two ladies gently, II by cruelty they
hope to extort from their friends the
sum demanded. II would be a serious
mistake to regard their threats as a
bluff, and II would be inhuman to sac
rlfice them In order not 10 establish a
dangerous precedent.
II is not improbable that the ransom
demanded can be considerably scaled
down. though. orientals In all bust
ness transactions, ask several times
more than they expect to receive. and
br,gands do probably not form an ex-
ception to this quite general rule. But
that is a matter Of detail. II the lib
erty Of the two captiyes can be Sc
cured for $4,000, or $4,000 instead OF
$4,000, this Is all the better.
But when the ladies are once more
among their friends, II should be the
business Of our government 10 see to

est The authorities at constanIlncple
have been lax In cleansing the empire
of lis lawless element, because the
powers Inspired by feelings Of mutual
jealousy, have been reluctant to enforce
any claims against them. The sultan
has enjoyed Immunity to a great ex-
tent. ana the lawlessness has been
overlooked II is time to make the
Ottoman government feel that they
have International responsibilities
which must be met, and that failure
to do so means serious consequences
and not only lengthy negotiations with
more or less prevarications. Let the
sultan nnd the money for the ransom,
and something besides for the ladies
against whom the outrage has been
committed. They certainly are entitled
to compensation for the mental ana
physical sufferings to which they have
been subjected.
Miss stones fearful predcament has
excited general sympathy in the coun-
try. We believe the use TO a very large
extent Of the powers at the command
Of our government, TO ensure a speedy
settlement Of this ease, would meet
with general approval, even II It should

FOUR GREAT NATIONS.


In an address recently delivered be-
fore the British association by Sir
Robert Griffen, the lecturer pointed out
that the white population Of the world
had increased remarkably during the
past century, while the colored races
had remained practically stationary.
His conclusion from the statistics pre-
scented was that the so-called yellow
peril had been too much exaggerated.
An invasion from Asia would not. he
thought, BE- possible any longer,
According to his figures, Europe and
the United States had a population OF
100000 at the beginning of the nine
teenth century and 100000 at its
close. The increase Of the United
States was from 100000 to 5000. 900,
and of tbs Europeans OF the British
empire from 100000 to 100000. Ger
many went up from 2O,OOO,OOO to 55,O0O.-
900 and Russia from 100000 to 1885,
100000. The Increase in France was
slow by comparison, from 100000 to
100000.
The lecturer classed the United
states, Great Britain Russia and Ger
many as The four great powers OF the
world. France ne left out of this class,
owing TO her relatively slow increase
Of population. She is still FIRST class
power, the speaker admitted. owing to
her financial resources and her alliance
with Russia, but If that alliance were
disrupted, she would fan to the posi-
ton OF seeond.class.
Sir Roblrt further stated that the
United States Is bound to gain in influ-
ence and Importance at the expense Of
the other nstlons And this Is probably
true. The world is gradually becoming
more and more dependent upon this
country for food and various manufac-
lures, and the country that can supply
these is sure 10 become clothed with
the power and influence that spring
from wealth. And II In addition to
these, there Is intellectual superiority,
the Brst place Is secured.
II is wei TO remember, though, that
power and influence mean responsible
lty, and that unless this is met in the
right spirit such influence viii be for
felted and given to others, That Is
the great BISON a mighty nation should
always be impressed with, as 1t is re-
Elected from the page Of history.

COMMENTS ON THE Beers

One Of the remarkable changes that
has taken place lately in the South
African situation Is that the more dis
turbed districts are now In Cape Colony

collisions between Boer and Briton re-
ported in either for several weeks.
