Thousands of American citizens seem to
feel it incumbent upon themselves to take

selection of state officers. This is
rather remarkable situation. 1t might be
reasonably supposed that the average

government he has at home than in the
character of administration in the nation
at large but election records show con-

Tagging

A well-developed Chinese rebellion.
even if because n ultimate failure it
never attains the cignity of n revolution,
is likely to last for IS or 20 years. Chinese
history is full of records of outbreaks
against governments stronger than that
which at present holds power at Pekin-
They start with q rush and With much
bloodshed and real fighting There is a
sudden effervescence of enthusiasm. But
in time the Chinese character reasserts
itself and a patient waiting game Is
played en- both sides, with only occasional
battles, till the lapse of years Or the
change of sentiment either sustalns the
government or forces its extinction.
It is not likely that the powers of the
western world will permit tac present
state of war to continue Tor any sueh
indefinite period. But the tagging OF
hostilities that commenced with sucn
ferocity is quite in accord with Chinese
precedent and does not indicate that
either side has the slightest Intention of
giving up.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
