Loose Talk OF Army omcers.

san francisco Chronicle.
There is good deal of loose talk in
obliged in by army officers respecting the
attitude of the United States toward China,
but it's sincerity may well be called into
question. II is absurd for any one to
urge that it is our duty to preserve order
in China, or to interfere in any manner
with the political concerns of the Chinese.
Those who do so are not thinking of
American interests; they have nothing else
in mind than the possibility of personal
advancement at the expense of the people
OF the United States.

A REEORM LEGISLATURE.

When the Pennsylvania legislature
was called in extra session last month
to consider certain reforms urgently de-
manded by the people it was not gen
orally expected to accomplish much. 1t
had shown no disposition at the regular
session TO institute reforms and 1t was
reasonably apprehended that the same
men would show no change at the spe-
cial session. The results. however. again
demonstrate the potency Of the popular
voice. The Philadelphia Press says that
no session of the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture ever did so much for tine people in
so short time. and the Record remarks
that great stride forward has been
made i'm substituting self rule for boss
rule in the state. 1t points out that
provision has been made for clarifying
and purifying the primary action of
parties. for purging. the body OF the
electorate, for eliminating fraud at the
ballot box. and for preventing the Illicit
use of money in politics.
What the legislature did is thus
summed up: The authority and respon-
sibility of the chief magistrate OF Phila-
delphia have been restored: the way has
been opened for Greater Pittsburg: the
state treasury balances have be \ safe
guarded: uniform primary election
system and personal registration have
been provided: the tee system IN state
offices has been abolished; the Phlla.

PRINTERS INK IN CHINA.
Publicity as n specific for the His of
the Empire.
Philadelphia Press

The shadow of coming events points
toward China. The significant incidents
of the last six months In that unwieldy
empire are reminders served upon civiliza-
ton that instead of breaking up China is
waking up. A portentous restlessness is
seething I'm the vast mass of its hundreds
Of millions OF population,
Most of China's latest troubles may be
broadly diagnosed as growing pains. II is
developing something akin to n national
consciousness. sort of patriotism which
is as likely to make itself felt by anti
foreign outrages as i'm any other manner
is being evinced in remotely separated
portions of the empire. The day for wise
counsels has come, and here is how the
editor of the South China Daily Journal
utters them;
"A good newspaper is worth many gun
boats at the present time. Good news
papers, free and untrammeled. can do
much for China. They stand with one
hand upon the pulse of the people at home
and the other upon the pulse Of foreign
sentiment with regard to China. .
Publicity is the enemy of deception, false
hood and knavery, and the friend Of virtue
and truth. And so We see that in those
countries where the rulers are fattening at
the expense OF the people it has been
settled policy to gag the press. and by this
means to screen from the people the light
OF truth, which is an attribute OF their
growth
The likelihood OF China's ever running
amuck which as a possibility is exceed
ingIy remote, would he removed from the
field OF consideration II this editors level
headed advice could be followed A good
newspaper is more effective than an army
corps as civilizer. Let the Chnaman
give attendance to reading and he will
shed his fanaticism in short order The
men who at this juncture give TO China
the newspapers IT needs will deserve to go
down in its history not only as patriots.
but also as friends OF civilization.

England, being short of funds,

colonists taxes too onerous to be
borne. Protests to the Crown

America refused to pay the inn

independence followed.

We owe something to the

soldier dead, we raise ourselves
nearer to the plane on which
those brave .men stood after they
went forth to battle in defense
of our common country.

were possible. than the flowers
themselves.
For. dear friends. that spnti-
ment is at once an inspiration, a
certificate of civic health. and il
promise OF National continuance.
1t breathes the spirit that
brought about the Boston tea
party, that called our ancestors
from their plows to the battle Of
Lexington and sent those same
farmer boys, bare footed, TO
Valley Forge in the dead Of win
ter-that impaired strength and
courage to the founders Of Ameri'
can independence when the night
seemed darkest; that intense
love of country which steeled
the hearts of Jackson's men at
New Orleans and propelled a
devoted company oil American
pioneers over the heights of
Tellaultepec, against enormous
odds, in the Mexican war; that
spirit which soothed the soul of
Abraham Lincoln during an Or
deal such as no other man ever
faced-the calm resolve to do or
die in defense OF our country.
1t was that same feeling which
sped Dewey into Manila over
the submarine mines in 1898
that gave victory to the men be-
hind the guns on land and sea
throughout the war with Spain
that wOoed our beloved Presi-
dent from the comforts of metro
politan life to the hills of San
Juan, in company with the
Rough Riders of the west,
several Of whom are here today,
too modest too make themselves
known, but whom saw with my
own eyes in that historic cam
paign fighting under the Stars
and Stripes, all unconscious of
the bullets which rained down
upon them.
To me the most impressive,
the most encouraging feature of
this gathering is the presence
here of the women and children
of White Pine county. The
men don't count for much in
times of peace. They are too
busy. But the women and
children are always to be de-
pended upon,. Indeed, | am in
clined TO accept the statement of
clergyman back East that the
Lord got short of angels and
created women and children as
substitutes.
As long as the National spirit
pervades your homes, my coun-
trymen. just so long will we en-
dure as a Nation. The moment
you attempt to stihe it that in
slant you weaken not only your
home but your country; for, as
the Good Book tells us, "a house
divided against itself must fall"
Therefore see to it, each of
you, that your house is in order.

tage, ever remembering that
you do honor on occasions like

heroes, but to the flag under
