THE CHINESE LOAN.

The intimation Of the success of the
Chinese loan negotiations is welcome.
China is now engaged in momentous
attempt at constitutional and republican
government. and the experiment is al
most as interesting To the rest of the
world as 10 her, as any one may perceive
who will take the trouble to consider
the consequences TO the world at large
which would ensue from the lapse OF
that enormous empire into state Of
chaos. It Is understood that the wei
fare if not the integrity and very exist
epce of the Chinese Republic depends
upon it's promptly getting considerable
loan. and It has been agreed among the
powers. including America, that such a.
loan. if made, must be participated in
on equal terms by a group of four or
preferably six nations. That is why the
current intmation from Washington is
10 he received with so much satisfac-
ton.
The negotiations have been pending
for a good while, and are understood to
have been somewhat protracted partly
by disagreement between the Chinese
President and his Prime Minister and
partly by the objections of Japan and
Russia 10 details which were acceptable TO
the other powers. The former hitch was
chiefly over the question of guarantees
10 the creditors. Mr. Tang was inclined
10 insist that China should be treated
like any other power, being permitted to
borrow and expen1 money without for
eign supervision. Mr.. Yuan, Oh the
other hand. was willing to continue the
prevailing practice Of permitting foreign
supervision, and his view has at length
prevailed. IL is undei .cood that there
will be conjoint bureau of audit, as
an adjunct 10 the Department of III
nance, conducted by one foreign and one
I. Chinese auditor and combined foreign
and native staff. That will be salts
factory to the creditors and not humil-
isting 10 China.

TOO Many CONTESTS.

In one respect Democratic national
conventions are better ordered than Re-
publican national conventions A Dem
ocratic national committee Is seldom
obliged to give much time or serious at
tention to questions of title In making
up the temporary roll Contests are few
and far between. about the only con-
stituency which can be depended upon
to send an overplus Of delegates being
the District of Columbia, where electing
anybody to any office Is such a rarity
that local patriots cannot resist the
temptation to get all the excitement pos
sible out Of il. The federal capital Is
the only community SO far TO send con-
testing delegations to Baltimore, and the
Democratic conventions committee on
Credentials this year will enjoy q prac-
teal sinecurc.
Tho Republican party has unfortu-
nately too many Districts of Columbia.
There are numerous states In which the
contest habit has become chronic, and In
some of them the rage for naming rival
delegates has now gone so far as TO pro.
duCe triple state and district delega-
lions The idea Of regularity and con
formity TO established party rules has
been so weakened that men stand ready
to create mushroom organization
overnight whenever the demand for
near-delegates arises.
The scandal Of frivolous and irrespon-
sible contests Is growing worse with
each national convention, and 1t has be-
come the duty of the party 70 protect
itself against the abuse. OF the $50 or
more contests carried TO Chicago this
year more than half are utterly without
excuse, and most Of the others derive
whatever standing they have from the
