American and Chinese Foreigners

Two items appeared in the telegraph columns of The Republican yesterday morning: one of them overshadowing that readers may not have noticed the other. Few of those who may have read them both, probably thought of any ton between them. We regard the less conspic- uous of them as in one aspect the more startling.
 One story tells of the murder of sixteen Amer can citizens who taken from a train by Mex ican bandits and shot death. utterly wanton act, not relieved by the motive of robbery. The victims employees of a mining company their way to reopen mine which had been closed sometime during the revolution. The nany had been assured by the Carranza govern ment of its protection but the Carranza govern ment had only nominal control tha. part Of the country where those murders committed. No government, not even our own, guarantee absolute protection against the operation os bandits
 The other news item Describes the discharge of the alleged murderer of Chinese mine in Trinity county, California because the complaint failed to include the name of the county in which the murder was committed. That was of course a vital error. but t not !rreparable. But the authorities refused to repair it. and the murderer having been restored to his liberty they declined to swear out another complaint against him.
 The crime in the Mexican committed in season of turmoil at the flag end of long and savage revolution. when part of the country not under the immediate and strong control of the mli- tary is safe. The California crime was committed in a supposedly orderly community, ana it was in itself small crime. in comparison with the later of the authorities in declining to punish the murderer.
 In the Mexican case if the bandits who killed those sixteen Americans captured by the author- ties of the de facto they will certainly be executed. There will be nice questions raised about complaints and indictments. Probably the name of the prefecture district where the crime committed will ever be mentioned It will be known at the trial and execution of the bandits that a crime was committed at certain place and that will be sufficient
 An American citizen is really safer in Mexico than a Chinese foreigner is in parts of this country. If the American takes himself into a part of Mexico where the authorities in control he is reasonably But Chinanan in Trinity county California, and many other American com munes cannot count upon tee protection of the authorities
 We suppose that the relatives in China if any feel very much about the tragedy in Trinity county as the American relatives the victims of the Mexican bandits feel about the tragedy there.

The Ahdication of Rarnaa

It will probably cause widespread heart breaking regret in republican ranks to learn that William Barnes of Albany has announced his firm large to the national republican convention this year. Republicans will likely not care why Mr Barnes will not be delegate. just so he will not be- His reason therefore, that he does want to run the risk of becoming particeps crimnis in the out rage of nominating Colonel Roosevelt is as satisfac- tory any other he could have offered
 But as delegate he could have a voice against the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt, And if the latter should be nominated, MT. Barnes admits he fears he may be. will he not in after years re- proach himself for having jain help!essIy down in the face of the bare prospect of such calamity and for having made effort to avert it?
 But in his declara ton of non intention he in- eudes statement which sheds a ray of hope for those who are of like mind with himself as to Colonel Roosevelt NIT Barnes will be at Chicago m the capacity of national committeeman and it will be remembered that it not the delegates to the national convention of 1912 that committed the suicidal crime there and disrupted the republican party The delegates were only the tools. It was the national committee, of which Mir Barnes was then also member, that made and wieded the tools.
 No doubt Mr. Barnes would willingly repeat that crime this year. and there is no doubt that he will try to do it. with the certainty that it would result in another disaster But Mr Parne. VIII be only one committeeman of many. and he
