Why the Powers Rush.
OMi: IDEA of the Immensity
of the Chinese problem In Its
larger bearings Is to be had
in the fact that through
out the Chinese empire the popu
lation per square mile averages 292
while the population of the United
States Is only 21.3 per square mile. In
only two small sections of the United
States, Rhode Island and the District
of Columbia, Is the density of popula
tion comparable with that which pre
vails throughout China's more than a
million and a quarter square miles.
Hero Is a fourth of the population of
the world that Is likely soon to be n
charge on the hands of a few great
powers, all of whom, excepting Ger
many and Japan, have plenty to do to
look after the Interests already In their
keeping without needing this new giant
contract to keep them busy.
If the present uprising In China,
which is now confined to the interior
of ths northern provinces, shall bo
come general, as It may become If tho
allied powers do not swiftly place an
overpowering force of soldiers into the
heart of the zone of disturbance, the
natural cohe3lveness of this great mass
of humanity, even though poorly
equipped to resist aimed attack by
modem armies, would present a politi
cal problem taking ages to solve. The
Chinaman In peace Is inoffensive and
easy to control; but when Inflamed by
race cries and superstitions, he has to
be literally overborne, and where U
the nrmy largo enough to reduce to
subjection '100,000,000 orientals who live
mostly away fiom railroads and whose
country Is almost totally deficient In
the conveniences requisite in success
ful military movements? No wonder
the powers are bending every energy
to "hasten troops to the front in time
to localize the danger and put It out
before the whole empire Is ablaze.
Whoever It was that started the mis
chief will have much to answer for
even though it should soon be cheeked.
Widow O'Lenry's cow that burned Chi
cago will not be a circumstance In
comparison.
Undoubtedly the nomination of David
R. Hill for vice-president on the ticket
with lliynn would strengthen the
ticket. Rut what a come-down It would
mean for David R.
An Unique Complaint,
IT WAS NOT to be expected on
the contrary, we looked for Its
appearance earlier In the game
that the administration at Wash
ington could take steps to safeguard
or rescue Imperilled American Interests
in China without drawing the fire of
political criticism. Rut we were hardly
prepared for tho Idiotic form which
that ciltlclsm has taken as Illustrated
In the appended excerpt from the Phil
adelphia Times:
No one will pay tint it would not be an act
of war were the United Matis to'send an armed
forte Into ltussio, Prance, England or Oermuiiy
to khoot and kill citlrens of those countries cm
any pretext uIuKmt. is tt any lesi an ait uf
war to send an aimed force into China simply
biausp that unfortunate country mij not at tha
moment bo in a position to lesmt it? And
an act of war done deliberately by the presi
dent is a declaration of nut to far as ho can
make It, in other words, It Is u usurpation of a
prerogatfte of coi.gnss. This Is not a question
f the dMy and puipose of the United States
th protect -jnd defend its titlens In their rights
whireser th-y may be. That we (.hall do always
to the uttermost, but we shall first ascertain
In a legal arid orderly way that the rights of our
citizens hai been violated or are seriously men
aced and then we shall proceed to their ln
dlcatlon In the name dignified and lauful nuiimr.
If In Ruvnia, France, England or
Germany American consulates should
bo nttneked by a violent mob which
tho local authorities could not or
would not control, and Americans
resident in those countries should,
over a widespread area and to
considerable numbers, be threat
ened with torture and death and In
numerous Instances kilted; and If
there ahould be present, not far off,
an American naval force or American
troops or both, do you suppose It
would not be the duty of the presi
dent of the United States to order
theso forces at once to land and to
undertake the work of rescue? Such
a contingency, of course, is not sup
posublo with reference, to any of those
countries; but It has frequently arisen
Jn Central and South American coun
tries, and we ore proud to say that
there has never, to our knowledge,
been a man In the White House cow
aidly enough to shirk such a duty the
moment Its full gravity, was appre
ciated. We have already ascertained In a
le"M and, orderly way, namely, bytho
cr
oniclot ndvlcos of our consuls In China,
thnt the rights of our cltzcns In Hint
unfortunate country havo hecn both
nienncd and vlolntcdj and the legality
of the steps taken to vindicate them
Is unassailable. Nor do we think that
there has been any lnck of dignity,
although In a crisis where haute means
lives saved and delay means anar
chy and bloodshed, the question of
dignity Is not the uppetmoat factor to
be considered,
Usually tho complaint Is that our
authorities nio too deliberate. It Is
a novelty to hear the criticism that In
contributing to tho extinguishment of
nn International conflagration they
have been too swift.
Mr. Towno, the proposed Popullstlc
vice presidential running mate for
Colonel Bryan, Is prepared to take any
sort of a hint to quit the race.
The Aspect of Seriousness.
M'
UCII THE wisest conclus
ion which "William Jen
nings lirynn has yet
reached Is his reported
decision not to make a rear platform
campaign tour of the country but to
reserve his oratorical energies for the
delivery of a few set speeches in New
York, Philadelphia and one or two
other large cities, and for tho welcom
ing of such delegations as may visit
him at his homo In Lincoln, Neb.
Precedent Is unfavorable to the suc
cess of the presidential candidate who
hippodromes throughout tho country.
This style of campaigning defeated
Hlalne In 1SSI and it hnd its effect In
helplrg to defeat Uiyan four years ago.
No doubt It Increased Hryan's per
sonal following, ns It did Maine's.
Very likely it was instrumental In
side-tracking all competition for the
Democratic nomination this year. The
hurrah boy method Is effective with
perhaps 75 per cent, of the member
ship of a party, but something more is
necessary to gain the support of the
remaining 23 per cent., together with
that of the large and gradually In
creasing Independent element which
wields the bnlance of power In presi
dential elections.
The ofllce of president of the United
States Is associated in the minds of
most Americans with a certain Idea of
dignity and reserve power which Is in
compatible with the spectacle of a can
didate rushing for the ofllce like the
star man on a foot ball team striving
to score a touchdown. It Is nn ofllce
which likes to have the appearance of
seeking the man; nt least, the man who
gets It must not overdo himself In his
anxiety to succeed. If Colonel Dryan
can put aside the role of stump speaker
long enough to create the Impression
that since 1S9C he has outgrown boy
orator ways and assumed an aspect of
seriousness his strength as a candidate
will be matei tally enhanced. It re
mains to bo seen whether ho can do
this.

Is Crime Increasing ?

RGU.MKNTS that It Is and
that It Isn't abound; tho

tuio has the privilege of

Rut In the July Forum Pro-
paying
choice.
feshor Falknor of tho University of
Pennsylvania offers some deductions
bearing on tho subject which are en
couraging, to bay tho least. For ex
ample: In 1S90 the federal census recorded
86 homicides among the prisoners of
Massachusetts; but state documents
show that in that year only 12 peihon"j
were committed for homicide, the other
74 having been committed In previous
years nnd held over. In other words,
the crimes punished In the year num
bered only about ont-noventh of tho
prisoners confined for the crime. "If,"
says Prolosoi' Falknor, "this propor
tion holds good for the United States
nt large, our 7.3S6 homicides confined
In 1890 represent only about 1,033
crimes punished In the census year,"
a ratio to tho population not quite 2
In 100,000 as compared with nearly 5
In 100,000 in Get many and England.
From this and similar piocesses of
looking behind tho figures shown In
census reports, tho professor deduces
that the proposition of Lombroso,
David A. Wells, Colonel Roles and
other penologists who nlllrm that crime
Is alarmingly on tho Increase rests, as
to homicide, upon misapprehension In
that It fulls to give due weight to tho
fact that with the gradual substitu
tion of term and life hcntences for
the death penalty the number of priso
ners would of necessity) Increase fas
ter than the population.
There is, the professor goes on to
show, similar unreliability In many of
the statistics purporting to show the
prevalence of minor crimes. "When
ever the stotlstlclan speaks of crime
he Includes all classes of punishable
offences. Those who use the statistics
of crlm frequently overlook this Im
portant fnct, and often ascribe to the
figures an ethical significance which
they do not contain. No one would
class violations of bicycle ordinances
or throwing waste paper In the street
In the same moial category with mur
der and arton. Yet ns such widely di
vergent offences are punishable they
are nil Included In tho aggregate of
crime. We must," he tt;lls us, "know
what classes of offences have multi
plied In number before we can esti
mate the moral significance of the
changes which may have occurred,"
In 1S79 the number of commitments
of all klnda In Massachusetts was 939
for each 100,000 of 'the population: In
18S2, 123S ,'tinl from that It rose grad
ually to U6I in 18S9 but since then
there hn3 been no year In which It was
as largu as between 18S2 and 1889. In
Pennsylvania tho commitments at fle
year, periods havo been; 1209 per 100,
000 In 1875; 1028 In 1880: 1150 In 1885;
1001 In 1890 rnd 115Q In 1S93. In Michi
gan the commitments were 502 per 100,
000 In "875 and 739 In 1897 but there
was no regular and steady Increase.
Professor Falkner nssuies us that a
diligent search among the records of
such Mates as keep accurate records
of criminal phenomena affords no
proof of a genoral crime movement
which is growing faster than the popu-
latlon. Nor liavo crimes of violence
Increased. In 1880 in Massachusetts
there wore 94 crimes against tho per
Bon for each 100,000 of population; tho
succeeding figures run: 1885, 97; 1890,
82; 1805, 77: 1890, 70; 1897, '3j 1898, 09. In
Ohio the figures were! 1885, 51: 1890,
61; 1833, 40. In Michigan, what arc
cnlled "high crimes" were recorded in
the ratio of 111 to every 100,000 of pop
ulation In 1875 nnd In 1897 tho ratio
was only 91. Similar study of the sta
tistics of petty crltno shows that the
apparent Increase largely reBolvcs It
self Into a closer police restriction than
was formerly In vogue. In conclusion
wo nro told:
"Crime, In the broadest sense, In
cluding all offences punished by law,
has probably Increased slightly In tho
last 25 years. On tho other hand,
crime In Its deeper moral sense, has
decreased. Changes In our environ
ment, not chnnges in our moral stand
ards, have multiplied minor offences.
The Increase of crime which our mod
ern life reveals Is thus a social nnd
not a moral phenomenon."
Some of the "ant!" organs are vio
lently critical because the government
yacht Mayflower has been fitted up
luxuriantly for the use of Governor
Allen, of Porto Illco. The same com
plaint was heard when our transport
service was Improved so ns to enable
our soldiers to travel the ocean In
safety and comfort. But these organs
would complain Just as vociferously It
tho opposite policy were to bo pursued.
Reputable Americans have no fault to
find. They are willing that good ser
vice should have the benefit of good
accommodations and appreciative rec
ognition. They do not hanker after a
hobo regime.
A Russian financier who has been
studying American banking operations
during the past few months confesses
to astonishment at their magnitude
and growth. "I was prepared," he
says, "to see large business transac
tions In a country where commercial
development has reached so high a
point as It has here, and I may add
that I am not unfamiliar with largo
operations In my own country, but the
magnitude of the operations carried on
In New York fairly surprised me."
American expansion ere long will causo
a lot of surprising.
For several years past tho Chinese
troops that were so easily put to flight
by tho army of Japan have been under
the tuition of Russian officers wrib
have drilled them In many of the ef
fective movements of modern warfare.
The first encounter of the allied forces
with the yellow warriors has demon
strated that the Chinese have been
apt pupils and that their Instruction
will prove expensive for tho Instruct
ors. The "George Washington" of tho
Roxers seems to be a trifle more mod

not the kind of man to remain but led,
even though the olllee may carry with
It no authority; the other, that the
oillco of vice president ought to be
made by law something very different
fiom what It Is. The original plan of
electing the president nnd vice presi
dent shows that the framers of the
constitution expected the electors to
choose men for vice presidents fully
capable of discharging the duties of
president. Each elector was author
ized to vote for two candidates, and
the one receiving the larger number
of votes was declared president, nnd
the one receiving the next higher num
ber (If a majority of the whole num
ber) was declared vice president. In
case of a tie, the house of represen
tatives was empowered to select the
president from the persons having an
equal number, and (majority) of votes.
If no person had a majority the house

president, the senate was empowered
to choose the vice president.

Adams, redernllst, was elected presi

th fourth election a grave danger ap
pealed. Party lines were moro sharply
drawn, with tho result that Jefferson
and H'irr, Democrnts (old name lie- I
publicans), had an equal number of
votes. The election was thrown Into
the house, and there the Federalists
tried to elect Uurr over Jefferson. The
attempt failed, but led to a revision of
the constitution, and the adoption of
the present rulo for separato votes for
the ofllce of president and vice presi
dent. Iiut this rule embodied In the
constitution has led to another evil.
Too little ottentlon Is given to the vice
presidential olrlce, which has neither
power nor patronage, nnd Inferior men

UTE TO COLONEL ROOSEVELT.
Fiom the Louisville Cour.er-Journal, June 21.
Theodore ltooscvelt! He brings to the ticket
Just the things that McKlnley cannot give it.
He Is in ecry way McKmlcj's complement in
age, in temperament, in record, in iiitluenre.
He will supply the magnetism and inspire the
aidor necessary to a hurrah campaign. He will
light the torches and wae the Haps, Hut lie
will do much more tlnn that. He will attract a
large clement of the Independent ote, which
thinka for Itself, which rebels against boss lule,
which recognizes and admires liulns, lourage and
litegrlty. There is no man in the country who
has a larger following amnnc this (lass than
ltooscclt, and it is a class width is dally grow
ing stronger and mere assertive in the affairs
of government.
Rut Hooscvelt's strength will be ccn greater
among the jountr men, among the full blooded
Americans of action and progress, who believe
In fighting when fighting is necessary, and who,
however proudly they ina look back on their
country's past, look forward to Its future even
more proudly.
Truly the Republicans are fortunato in having
such a man to stand by McKlnley at this time,
to hold up his hands when they most need sup
port, and to assume, when he drops the nins,
party leadership in the widening horizon of the
new ctntury. It Is a bold and picturesque figure
the joung gov ei nor makes as he advances to
the side of the chieftain who is closing his
rubllc career. Youthful, wcll-bal.incidi a gen
tleman, a cowjunchcr; a man of letters, a man
of action; a clear-headed politician, a dashing
soldier, he has the respect of those to whom
ability, both mental and physical appeals, and
he has the admiration of those whom accom
plishment, whether in the field of politics, arms
or literature, Impresses. Ho is today the most
hopeful figure in the ltepubllcan parly. He has
the confidence of ihe anti-machine men, and jet
he bosses the booses, lietter than all, he has
shown throughout his public work that he has a
deep lnlght into the vital cltmcnts of democ
racy, that he has a firm grip on the principles
vrhich mi'tt guide an enduring republic, that he
is through and through a sound, self-reliant and

FOR PARTY REGULARITY.
Philadelphia Dispatch In the New York Sun.
.lust before starting for his home In Cleveland,
Senator llann.1 made a call upon Stile Senator
Jliirec, of Pittsburg, and rem lined In conference
with him for more than an hour. Senator Hanna
alicd Magcc how m.in ltcpubllcans wint Into
the caucus for United States senator at Harris
burg last January: how the ote ttood, and the
names of tho ncnators and members of the house
who went into that caucus and then refused to
tote for the cindldatc of the caucus, National
Chairman Hanna asked Magee If ho bclloed
there would be a repetition of that action next
January when the legislature comenes for the
election of a senator, and the Ohio senator clear
ly manifested his surprise when Magce flippantly
Informed him he thought there would be.
Senator Hanna, alter hearing all the facts In
the case, told Magec that the spontaneous and so
decidedly marked demonstration for Senator Ouay
on the part of delegates and people to tne na
tional comcntlon from cmy state in the union,
and the unity of the Pennsxlvania delegation In
supporting Senator Quay was a roelatlon to
him, and that he desired to say to Senator
Magce, so that ho could communicate It to those
who attsrtVklng part In a ltepubllcan caucus
n fused to be bound by Its action, that the ad
ministration desired pirty regularity; thit the
national committee would put lit seal of con
demnation upon all such proceedings as that
whlcl characterized tho caucus of the Pennsl
x.inla bglslaturc last winter. Senator Hanna es
pecially warned Senator Magrc against enter
ing Into "fusion" schemes for the olotion of
"insurgent" members of the legislature of Penn
Sihanla, as he feared it might not oii'y lose
a ltepubllcan senator, but might rrsult in the
defeat of probably four or (he ltepubllcan con
srrewmen in the state.
From this time forlh during the next four
jears regularity of party usage will picall
with the P.epubllcans of PennsjUanla, as Sena
tor Hanna's patting injunction to Magce was:
"There must lie no sulking In Pcnnsjlania dur
ing this campaign."

The following, contributed to the Cincinnati

rup Ranch, Colorado, miy not amount to much
as poetry, but It Is a pretty good harbinger of
what the campaign will be like from a literary
standpoint.
Now, doll )our hats to Teddy, bojs, for he's the
proper man,
His life has been a triumph since its starting
first began;
Ills plutk and spirit in tho dajs ho roamed
upon the range,
Has bullded up a character no chcumstance can
change.
From a cowboy on the "round-up" to the gov
ernor of his state,
We've alwavs found a man In him that's strict
ly up to date;
As a dailng "bronco buster," or a colonel In
command,
Weil greet him with McKlnley with an opn,
heaity hand.
He served his country nobly, and fired his
faithful bovs
With patriotic valor, amid the cannon's nolbe;
And, as they to lilm were loyal, In battle's
fit re o array,
So will tho voters prove to be upon election day.
Now dolt jour hats to Teddy, bojs, the man
with erlt and nerve.
In every office that he fills, the people will he
serve;
Progression Is his policy, no laggard In tho race,
He'll lead us on to victory .whatever be the pace.
