THREATENING FOR CHINA.

The most recent phase of the situation
in China is one which does not promise
well for that unhappy country So far
as its significance may now be passed
upon it foretells concert of action on
the part of the powers or some of them
which bodies little good for China.
The announcements regarding the Views
of the Russian foreign minister as to
his governments attitude toward Man
churia can be read with advantage in
the light of the recent declaration of
Prince Ouktomsh published in yester-
days Globe. Ouktomsd is the best
informed Russian in public life on Orien-
tai subjects, and he may be regarded
as speaking with authority. He says
many significant things, among others
that Germany Is merely heaping up a
bill Of expense against China by the pre-
vailing show of military force, with a
view to securing indemnity ultimately In
Chinese territory. He also declares that
Russia will not benefit by Manchur1a.
agreement between England and Ger
many in China, as there is between Rus
STA and France. All the recent informa-
ton We have of the attitude of Russia
in Manchuria comes from British sources
Whatever may be the plans or purposes
of Russia in Manchuria there is no deny
ing that the charge laid at the door of
Germany by Prince Ouktomski has every
thing to sustain it, and little or nothing
to disprove it. The entire course of Ger
many in the Orient from her first appear
ance there has been designed to secure
territorial acquisition. The conduct of
Count Won Waldersee from the beginning
has been in line with such a policy. More
than that the attitude of the German
emperor is plainly designed to produce
such complications in China as will en-
able that nation to extend its territorial
possessions in that country That ex-
tension may be directed to the provinces
of Pc Chi Ii and Shang Tung, as Prince
Ouktomshd suggests, or to some other
section of the empire; but of it's existence
there can be no serious question.
The future of China is now evidently
to depend on the attitude assumed by
England, and, next in Importance, by
the United States. Ii in the diplomatic
maneuvering which has so long been
in progress it should eventuate that Ger
many and England should engage in an
aggressive joint policy, either toward
Russian pretensions or otherwise, and
with or without the cooperation of our
government, the crisis, which is certain
to come sooner or later from the further
carving UP of the empire, is bound to
change the entire face of Oriental af
fairs
From whatever point Of view we may
now regard Chinese affairs the idea finds
daily confirmation that China's safety
lies rather in the absence of concert of
action among the powers than in active
cooperation among them The possible
division of European influence Into two
camps OF Germany and England on the
one side and France and Russia on the
other is liable not only to result in the
disintegration of China, but in the great
est European war of modern times.

Case of Cutting Prices.

West Concord Enterprise.
The following story is being told on
certain physician not a thousand miles
from West Concord: During one of the
recent cold snaps the physician was
called up at about p. m. by fellow
who inquired what he would charge to
make call at farm mouse nine miles
from town. 1.-TWO dollars replied the
physician VERY WELL" replied the
man, 'hitch UP and I will ride out with
YOU" The horse was hitched and the
man was there at the office on time. but
during the ride he slept most of the
time On reaching the house the ply
sician asked who was sick. Nobody,
replied the man, Il tried to hire livery
and they all asked me "a for the trip,
so I hired you for 81" The air was blue
in that neighborhood for few minutes.

roLsTo1,s RECOMMENDATION.

Count Tolstoi has been eXcommuni-
Gated He is no longer regarded as
member Of the orthodox Greek church.
How long the great philosopher and
humanitarian has regarded himself as

tional church it would be impossible to
say: but it is none the less certain that
the degree of communication will have
but little terror fer its object and but
little effect upon tie enlightened judg-
ment OF the world.
1t is an unhappy thing for Christianity
that the greatest minds OF modern times
have sooner or later broken the bonds
in which most OF them were born of at
tachmcnt to the various Christian
little less of Tolstoi and his work be-
cause he has been formally cut off from
communication with the church OF his
fathers. He is doing his work none the
less effectually. Nor can it be said Of
him that he has gone out of his way to
assail the church which now disowns
and casts him out In all his writings
he has assailed modern civil government
with force and earnestness which has
left a profound impression on modern
thought; but, unlike many other phiIos-
ophers of his school he has not united
church and state in his condemnation.
Tolstoi has never been identified in the
mind of the world as the enemy of the
church which has thus repudiated him,
nor will the church gain in the esteem
of men by it's belated action toward

numerous smaller concerns have COM

tin manufacturers. On the first of April
next the American Tin company will as
sumo control of all the TIN manufactures
in the United States. At present there
are over 100 tin manufactures in this
country. and of these there will be at
least thirty-five closed which will cause
about 1900 Iaboring men to lose their
employment If these continue Republi-
cans will not be in a posistion to preach

laboring man will rot only be looking
for the full dinner pail, but will also
miss the tin pail.

State Auditor Dunn are the ones most

little joke and besides, if they had
prevented the passage of those amend

calling of an extra session of congress
at which the Republicans would have
