MeKinley Retalns Troops in China Against
the Advice of Party Leaders,
If Mr. McKinley has no understand-
ing with the powers operating in
China, his actions are difficult to ex-
plain. Although advised by some of
the longest headed men in his party,
including the U. 8. Minister to China,
to take the advantage of the opportun- |
ity to withdraw our troops from China |
now that the American
were in peril are safe, and leave those |
nations which are hungry for Chinese |
citizens who |
territory to settle the squabble among |
themselves, he has declined to do so. |
Several days ago, when it was an-|
nounced that all the troops now on the |
way to China would be seut to Manila, |
it was thought that he intended to fol- |
low that advice ; but within forty- |
eight hours it has been officially an- |
nounced that the in i
would be kept there, and since then, |
i
troops China
the significant announcement was |
mad: that the troops which would go |
to Manila would not go to take the |
place of volunteers to be sent home, |
but to reinforce them, and that
troops are to be sent home until fur-
ther notice. If that doesn’t indicate
an intention on the part of Mr. McKin-
ley to play a further hand in the Chin- |
ese game, what does it indicate ?
N ww that it has been authentically
announced that
ex-Senator Gorman,
now at Saratoga, will return to Mary-
land about the middle of September |
and take an active part in the cam- |
paign until election day, those rep ub-
licans who have been actively cirealat-
ing stories of his lukewarmness towards |
Bryan and Stevenson, must fee! that
they are very clumsy liars. It
never been doubted in Washington |
that Mr. Gorman would do his full |
duty towards the party that has hon- |
ored him in the past and that is likely
to honor him in the future.
Evidence continues to multiply |
showing that Illinois will be found in |
the democratic column this year. Af
ter expressing his opinion to that ef. |
fect, Mr. W. H.
said : “There are a number of reasons
for believing this, but I am convinced |
that opposition to Imperialism will
have a greater influence in the undo-
ing of the republicans ‘than any of the
other issues, There is a big German |
vote in Illinois, especially in Chicago,
and the Germans,almost to a man, are
opposed to the imperialistic policy of
the present administration. There is |
also a very bitter factional fight |
among Illinois republicans, and al-|
thouzh it doesn’t come much to the
surface, the feeling is sp strong that it |
will be impossible for them to make a |
progressive and harmonious campaign
in the state. Opposition to the trusts
will also lose the republican ticket a
good many votes, and with the labor
trou les in Chicago and all the sufter- |
ing that has resulted from them, the |
republican orators will find it difficult
to evnvinee the workingmen there that
the country is blessed with an over-
abu dance of prosperity.
That the democratic leaders are thor-
oughly posted on what the republicans
are doing and are meeting every repub-
liean move, is made apparent by the
following remarks of one of them:
“Agninst the prosperity statistics
which are being manufactured by the |
Census Bureau, we will place some
hard facts which indicate that many
classes of men who have to depend on
their labor for a living are not prosper-
ous. Take for instance the anthracite
coal miners, The coal trust has cut
down the number of work days so that
the miners are expected to live on three
days’ work a week. This means that
they can barely exist. In New Eng-
land, some of the cotton mills are shut
down and others sre running on half
time. The silk mills of New Jersey
are running on short time, and one of
the big silk manufacturing companies
has, within the last week, gone into
bankruptey. We are looking for the
‘scare’ which the republicans have in-
timated they will give the country,
that attention may be called to the
money question. It may come at any
time, and the small volume of trading
in Wall street indicates a fear that a
money squeeze may be Impending.
When the West begins the movement
of Its crops and calls upon the East for
money to do it with, and if,¢ incident.
ally, a Russian or any other European
loan should be placed, making drafts
upon our gold supply, a very little ar-
tificial encouragement would produce
the ‘scare’ which I think the republi-
eans contemplate.”
