THE CHINESE


washington, Jan. 14.-The riots at
Lienchow, China. on October, 1908,
which resulted I'm the destruction OF
mission and tho death OF Ave Amer
lean missionaries. Will cost the Gov
ernment OF China about $4,000
One-half OF this has already been paid
for the loss OF property and like
amount Will go to the fanatics of tho
dead missionaries. The outlook was
tho result OF interference by the
missionaries with n celebration. The
natives were about to fire a cannon
near the mission hospital There has
Deen n good deal OF criticism over
the fact that this Government would
make China pay I'm indemnity. Some
of the missionary interests opposed
tho step on the ground that mission
aries did not want blood money, for
that Is what an indemnity would be
In this case The State Department,
however felt that the best way to
make the Chinese behave would be
to show them how expensive II is to
XIII Americans.

The battle over the presidency OF

stroyed, but simply served to make
them swear a deeper oath TO be re-
vengd upon tn administration and
its friends who helped put the knife
into them and twist II around.

THE LIMIT
OF DISASTER.

The founders OF the government
could not forecast every future ten
dency, and they naturally and wisely
left the prerogatives Of the various
branches Of the public service to some
degree vague. The presidents ad-
mirers will affirm that he has merely
taken advantage Of this vagueness,
not usurping, but discovering powers
to exercise; that he has acted not
unconstitutionally. but, at the most,
extraconstitutionalIy And to say
that chief magistrate shall confne
himself vigorously TO the privileges
enumerated I'm the constitution would
be to put n disastrous limit on the
executive authority. - Providence
