he made himself felt in the two campaigns.

a job beyond the power of any human be-
ing.
The point now Is that, although he does
not agree with Mr.. Bryan. and thinks that
he has been sufficiently honored by his
party, Senator McCarren will again sup
port the Nebraskan heartily If the party
in national convention again puts the seal
of it's approval on him. Here is party de-
votion. Here is a man who will not set

expect and rather desire defeat, but &C

then enter with spirit and enthusiasm into

German? VIII Mr.. Mclean? 1t is useless
to put the inquiry as to Mr.. Cleveland,

he will not.
Talk about reorganizing the democratic
party has not only failed but added to
the bad feeling already existing. Why not
put the simple inquiry all around, Will
you support the nominee? And let it go
at that. And put the inquiry to Mr.. Bryan,
plump and straight, among the rest.

The Tenth Week.

The hard coal strike enters today upon
It's tenth week, with no signs of it's close.
The chief event OF the week will be the con-
yenci0n of miners at indianapolis on Thurs
day, called for the purpose Of taking action
respecting practical expression of sympa-
thy for the strikers in the anthracite re
gior. While it was generally believed
shortly after the call was issued for this
convention that it would result in a votc
for general coal strike, there now appears
10 be reason to expect a different result.
According TO reports from various mining
centers sentiment prevails generally
throughout the national union against
sympathetic strike, but in favor of extend
ing financial aid to the anthracite strikers
So It is regarded as probable that the
miners at indianapolis will vote to assess
the unions a sufficient sum to ensure the
hard coal strikers a living income as lorg
as they may remain idle.
The strike has settled down to a dogead
test OF endurance. If the miners are as
sured of money aid from not only the soft
Goa! men but from other branches of labor
as well, their desire for a settlement will
not be 50 strong as 1t has been lately re-
ported to be. Their expenses are light at
this season Of the year, and if the men who
work are willing to divide with them they
can afford 10 keep up the fight 1t has
been asserted recently that the operators
are not loath 70 continue the deadlock. in
order to have a ground for securing higher

Win both sides in the great fight satisfied
there would seem to be little reason TO look
FOR break in the strike Immediately.
Under these circumstances the coal-buy-
ing public will stand as the sole sufferer,
When The strike ends there will be a rush
OF orders from large users 81 this fuel
which the operators will be compelled for
business reasons to fill. The small con-
suner. the householder. who In the aggre-
gate uses the bulk Of the anthracite coal
mined. must take his chances in stocking
his binns for the winter. pay whatever
fancy prices the product may command
and thus bear the heaviest burden of the
great useless struggle between capital and
Labor.

1t was General Bragg of Wisconsin who
as delegate to democratic national con-
vention proclaimed that Mr.. Cleveland was
loved, not for his friends, but for the en-
emies he had made. 1t Is now General
Bragg, consul general to Havana, who as
serts that Uncle Sam might as well try to
make that additionally difficult product, "a
whistle out of pigs tall as TO make any
thing out of the Latin race. General Bragg
is TO be called upon to explain. To be sure,
the opinion was ventured in the course of a
letter to his wife, who evidently thought 1t
so happy an expression that she showed it
to friends who promptly caused it to be pub
lished. 1t was thought a very clever re-
mark out in Fon du Lac. but it CRATES on

humor are not similar to those which obtain

port that / gave him in 1895 and 1900

bound 10 obey the will OF the majority"
This is frank and manly statement, and
doubtless its author will live up to It. Pre-
cisely how hearty the support was he gave

WI Ting-fang Recalled.

Several months ago. in commenting on
rumor Of the recall Of WI Ting-fang, The
Star expressed the opinion that China would
benefit by the recall of her ministers TO all
the leading western powers and their as
signment to duties at home which would
give her the benefit Of their experience
abroad Today's news announces the taking
OF such a step. Changes will be made at
Paris, Rome. St. Petersburg and Washing
ton. Mr. WI returns home to assist in
drawing up and reporting "a digest of the
laws of the various western countries such
as may with propriety be incorporated into
the laws Of China for the better progress of
Chinese international relations" This is
highly important work, and Mr.. WI will
bring to the task liberal share Of knowl-
edge Of western civilization and a liberal
approval OF much of it for use in China. If
his voice in the home council is needed his
country will be brought into closer touch
with the outside world. and will greatly
profit by the new relations.
Reform may be making more progress in
China than the world at large is advised
OF. Let us hope SO. The Boxers trouble
must have taught even as backward and
conservative a people as the Chinese val
liable lesson. 1t was an extraordinary ex-
perience in very way, and one well calcu-
lated to make a deep impression on the
Chinese court. The authorities, as never be-
fore. had brought home to them, both the
power Of the progressive nations and the
value to China of their friendship and CO.
operation. Only good therefore is to be ex-
pected from this summoning of men home
who have been studying at first hand the
institutions and customs Of other countries,
and commissioning them to recommend for
adoption by their countrymen such of the
means elsewhere well employed as may be
suitable for Chinese uses.
Mr.. WI has served his country with dis
ttnctlon here. His activity has been inces-
SAINT. and at times somewhat beyond the
nature Of his office. But allowances have
been made for his nationality. and for the
unusual duties that devolved upon him. The
American people have received him hos
pitahly both as man and minister and his
soltcitude for the safety Of the foreign le-
cations when they were besieged by the
Boxers and his very valuable services in
opening up communication with them at a
time when the world had almost abandoned
hope Will always be gratefully remembered.
The new minister is no stranger, having
been educated at Yale. y hearty reception
awaits him, with the hope that his term as
minister may witness the drawing together
OF America and China in bonds of still
stronger friendship.

of England. The United States could not
ask for a better state of feeling than ex-
lists between this government and all Of the
great nations. There is something In all
this beyond the civilities of high station.
Conditions everywhere justify such ex-
changes. The world desires peace, and its
rulers recognize the fact. The Spanish
American war, the war In South Africa. the
war in China were on a small scale, but
sufficiently large to show the horrors of
armed struggling, and to speak in trumpet
tones for greater care in the conduct Of the
worlds affairs.
