The Chinese Reformers.

An unfortunate impression appears ia
be growing that Minister Conger. at Pa
king. Is derelict in his duty to humanity
by failing forthwith to take a firm stand in
the matter of the fugitive Chinese reform
ers who have fed to the consuls at Shang-
hal for protection from the wrath of the
empress dowager. Thus far this govern
ment has received no advices regarding the
status of the men. save a request from the
Bow Wong, or reform society. for their
protection. But in the absence of official
dispatches nothing can be done toward
granting the request or instructing the
minister. The dispatches from London
state that the British minister at Pekiny
has been instructed not 10 agree to the
Chinese governments demand for the sur
render OF the fugitives. This doubtless
settles the question of the Immediate fate
of the refugees. for 1t is not to be con-
ceived that the British government will
yield from its position in the premises and
later surrender the men. nor that the
Chinese government will attempt to storna
the consulate at Shanghai and take the re-

Bad News From the Balkans.

After seething a long time the Balkan pot
seems now about ready to boil over. The
news from ConstantinOple Is most disturb
ing. indicative of an early outbreak of hos
tilities between the sultan's troops and the
revolutionary Macedonians. Today's dis
patches appear to confirm the reports that
a clash is imminent and serve to increase
the gloom of the situation by intimating
that the employment by the sultan Of AL
banian troops will lead almost inevitably to
massacres. In the light of past experience
1t Is not difficult to believe that hostilities
in this region would be marked by the most
awful cruelties and wanton waste of Hfe
The outcome of the campaign between the
Turks and the Macedonian revolutionists
cannot be questioned. The latter lack the
necessary resources to continue long to put
up distinctive fight, although they may
for many months foment trouble and con-
duct bushwhacking belligerency. Their
only hope of ultimate success lies in arous-
ing the powers of Europe to Intervention TO
prevent atrocities and thus precipitating
the long-delayed readjustment of the sui
tan's affairs. Their argument Is that their
last state cannot we'll be worse than or IS
bad as their first. inasmuch as under any

issue may be taken with the means they
have adopted to advance their claims and
to embroil all Europe in war
a significant fact appears in the dis
patches to the effect that the porte has ad-
dressed a circular note to the powers warn
ing them of its intention to Draft troops for
the disturbed districts, where the situation
is very serious. At Constantinople the note
Is regarded as a menace to the Bulgarian
government. Any direct move toward dis
cplining that government may have the
immediate effect of arousing Russia, whose
interests are virtually paramount in that
quarter. despite the technical obligation of
Bulgaria to Turkey.

A Lone Staudpatter.

The Baltimore American has inquired by
letter of the republican senators and the
members of the republican national COM
mittee as to what will be the leading Is
sues in next years fight. 1t gives a liberal
and very instructive summary of the re-
plies received, and included in it is the fol-
lowing statement:
'Tt is a matter of common knowledge
that United States Senator M. A. Hanna.
chairman of the national republican COM
mittee and a power in the counsels of the
party. is averse to any tinkering with the
tariff. He has as an individual and as the
leader of Ohio republicanism, given a key
note for the next campaign in his trtte ex-
pressions. Stand pat and Let well enough
alone 1t cannot be said. however. that
the majority of the party concurs with
Mr.. Hanna in his belief as to the unwis-
dom of proposing or attempting tariH re-
vision. In the letters received by the
American only one takes ground with the
distinguished Ohioan. Many writer's be-
leye that protection to American indus
tries and the preservation of the principle
of protection will be champiOned by the
very general agreement among the leaders
that tariff revision will figure as an issue
in the republican platform"
And yet we are told every now and then
that the Iowa idea" is as dead as Hector.
Nothing can revive it. Having served a
local purpose and brought little fame to
few northwest politicians. 1t has been sent
to the ash-heap and will never more be
heard Of The Americans canvass shows
how absurd such talk is. But one stand
patter was developed All the others ex-
pressed the opinion that tariff revision
will figure as an issue In the republican
platform"
And of course 1t will Why shouldn'
it? Who does not know that the Dingley
law has In certain cases performed the full
services expected of IT.? Who does not
know that Mr.. McKinley's last public ad-
dress plainly showed that he was in SYM
pathy with the Iowa idea?" And what
safer assumption than that. had he lived.
he would have urged upon Congress a
policy of reciprocity and limited tariff re-
vision on protection lines?
The standpatters opened their campaign
with a misleading statement of the ques-
ton. They insisted that the Iowa idea
was a blow at protection as a policy. and
must on that account be firmly resisted.
Counting themselves the true cham
pions of protection. they called upon ev-
erybody in itsSname to fall in line and de-
fend the policy which had wrought such
wonders in our business affairs. AS a
matter of fact, the best friends Of pre-

any abuse of the policy. They want 1t

Mr.. Bryan In Fighting Clothes.

This IS taken from the speech delivered
by Mr Bryan at Urbana. Ohio yesterday:
The democrats In 1892 played a con-
f1dence game on the people and put a bunko
steefer at the head of the party. I want
to say to you, my friends. that the dis
reputable man who stands on the street
curbing and leads the unwary traveller into
a game where he loses his money Is re-
spectacle compared with the man who ac
cepts the suffrages of five millions of people
and then leads them into Wall street to be
betrayed"
Mr.. Bryans language shows that the re-
organizers are making an impression on
the democratic party. He would not en-
ploy such terms If he did not feel the pres
ence of danger. Whether ne can stay the
tide even by such aggressiveness is a Ques-
ton. Probably not. AS Mr. Bryan was
himself a party to the game in 1892 he may
insist on being accepted authority
as to Its character. The Star drawing as
the Nebraskan does. upon the sporting
world for a figure of speech, has several
times declared that in 1892 Mr.. Cleveland
and his party played each the other for a
sucker Mr. Cleveland hoped that In ex-
change for federal patronage he could in
duce his party to go with him on the silver
question. while the party hoped that in re-
turn for the honor of second election to
the presidency he would go with it on the
silver question. Both lost. and. in the cir
cumstances. both deserved to lose.
This story. however, is of interest prin-
cipally as 1t may bear upon the present
outlook. Is history about to repeat itself?
Is the democracy the second time to go into
battle under a leader not in sympathy with
1t on the principal issue of the hour? Tarin
for revenue only is again the democratic
cry. and Mr.. German Is proposed for the
presidential nomination. Now, as every
body knows. Mr.. German Is no more in
favor of a tariff for revenue only than MIR.
eny policy approaching free silver. The
one mans record Is as plain was the
others. Mr.. Cleveland was for gold, and
had repeatedly so declared. His strength
inSNew York was based upon his financial
views. Mr.. German Is a prOtectiOnist, and
has repeatedly made the fact known. II
elected President he would no more for
ward the policy of free trade than Mr..
Cleveland would forward the policy of free
silver when 1t was pressed upon him In
1893. There should be. for there need be. 70
misunderstanding on this score. Mr.. Cor
mans tariff views are not only well known
but have been most aggressively asserted.
His connections. of a business as well as OF
a political character. would make 1t I'm
possible for him to meet in the office, OF
President the wishes of the men In his
party who are opposed to protection
principle. And they are much in the
majority as the siiverites were in 1892 and
have been since.

The Chinese Reformers.

We trust that our minister at Peking has
already been instructed to Join the British
minister IN the position he has taken that
the Chinese refOrmers now held as prison
ers in the foreign reservations be not sur
rendered to the imperial government to be
tortured and strangled. The report that
all the ministers, with the exception OF
the British minister, were in favor of sur.
rendering these prisoners Is Incredible But
whatever may be the individual opinion OF
our minister at Peking. our government at

The Overworked Rich.
From the New York World.


The discovery that fashionable life at
Newport Is too exacting for matrons as
well as for young girls can hardly be called
startling. The surprising thing would be
to find a physician who considered the at
mosphere of the summer capital of the
dollarocracy wholesome for anybody.
When race horse or stock broker or a
preacher has been under long sustained
high pressure he needs complete relaxation.
Even a locomotive has to be laid oft from
time to time, and a razor will not shave
every day forever. This Is the philosophy
Of the summer vacation. But in fashion
able society" the tension never relaxes.
The summers outing at Newport is no out
ing at all 1t is simply move from one
palace to another. with the same round of
dress parade functions" attended by the
same people, with the same formality, the
same late hours. the same extravagant
toilets and the same merciless rush. No
wonder some leaders of the rout are talk
ing of retiring to estates in the real coun-
try.
