Of course the objectors are not Box

heathen In China should resist at
tempts of the missionaries to convert
them.
Our Duty in China.
T
,HK NECESSITY is ranldly
approaching for a determin
ation of policy with reference
to the situation of affairs In
China. It has been announced unof
ficially that an ngreement in (general
terms already exists among the powers
to the effect that tho present co-operation
of military effort shall be for
police purposes only and shall go no
further than to restore order in China
and effect tho safeguarding of foreign
Interests without challenge of China's
political integrity. How true this Is
the public has no means of knowing.
How effective it would be In restrain
ing foreign encroachments might de
pend more upon the attitude of the
United States than is popularly sup
posed. Tossession of the Philippines alters
our relationship toward the eastern
question nnd comprehension of this
fact needs, to be encouraged. We no
longer are a remote and disinterested
spectator of Asiatic developments but
a power having both commercial nnd
political rights to be safeguarded.
Theie would be manifest Impropriety in
the thought of American intermeddling
in nn affair out of the natural range of
American territorial or political inter
ests; but the United Stntes today is
China's next door neighbor and our
concern In the adjustment of China's
international relations is second to that
of China alone.
Misbehavior In China which violates
treaty stipulations and involves abuse
of foreign rights requires to be stopped
nnd punished. That far all will agree.
The murder of the German minister In
the streets of Pekin Is nn act of out
rage so gross that the punishment can
hardly be light or the guarantees of
future protection Insecure. The United
Stales is ns much Interested in the de
termination of these phases of the sit
uation ns Is any other power nnd Is
properly using Its resources to further
a Just adjustment. Hut If there shall
bo an effort on the part of any power
to turn the disturbed condition of Chi
nese affairs to dishonorable selfish
protlt, the United States must be pre
pared, without hesitancy or vagueness,
to call a halt and enforce its will by
whateer means m.iy be necessary. We
nre in this thing nnd must see it
through. To draw out nnd let roguery
run rampant would be everlasting
shame and disgrace.
Mr. Paulson's order for campaign
muttons serns to have been conditional.
An Unique Contingency.
THE THOnOUGH subordina
tion of a great party to tho
will of one man ns illus
trated in William Jennings
Urynn's unquestioned dominance of the
Democrncy Is n spectacle unique In
American politics. To say that It is
no more than a parallel to William Me
Klnley's hold upon the Republican
party would bo inaccurate. Major Mc
Kinley has been long In public life and
Uhs.through years of distinguished ser
vjcoj.'fn, various relations made himself
lyiowrt' to the ripe judgment of his
fliirty colleagues. His name hnd been
considered in connection with tho
presidency -upon two occasions prior
to Ills nomination nt St. l.ouls In 1S91
arid It had been conspicuously llnkel
tq one of the most Important economic,
measures In the history of American
legislation. Moreover, four years of
nrduouB responsibility In the most dif
ficult executive position in tho lund,
successfully met nnd grandly mastered,
gPve ample reason for the deference
sfiown to him by tho Republican mass
es u ul preclude the suggestion of ac
cidence or experiment.
Rut In the case of Colonel Rryan we
hsve no such explanations to account
for his political ascendency. His pub
lie life prior to 1S9S had been limited
tr twotojfjTis (n congress, during which
pe;was distinguished only by tho delly
erflnce of one campaign speech. Ilo
wfjs not looked upon us a leader U
congress. He gave his name to no bill
arid wai connected In the public mind
with no particular policy or theory.
When a change in the political senti
ment of his district retired him to pri
vate llfo his absence was noted as a
loss by personal friends, for ho was a
companionable man, but it mjiJ no
Impress upon the public consciousness
ud was diemlssed without a second
thought by the millions who glanced
nl the election rcturno the morning af
ter the counting of the ballots.
Nor has his conduct since been cal
culated to add substantial attractions
to his leadership. Without prejudice
it must bo said that much as ho may
have fascinated those who ndmlrp ad
roitness in otalory and deftness In ver
bal font'lntr and largely as he lias un
doubtedly chined In the pcisonul es
teem of those brought Into social con
tact with him, by reason of n rnoit
agreeable poi-Fonallty and charming
mant ers, to stands convicted by the
Iron logic of fnctH of Imvlmr been mis
taken In every piophccy mudo in ISOtJ
nnd cf having played no part In the
great and stirring events of the Inter
im siivp Hint of a passive spectator,
searching for flaws.
It linn been demonstrated that in 1R!)G
Mr. llryan was self-deceived in every
Important particular of his political
creet". He predicted that victory for
McKinley nnd the gold standard would
be followed by falling prices, panic and
widespread distress. On the conttnry,
prices have uniformly llscn, work
uboundi with wages generous, and the
volume of the country's commerce sur
passes till piocedcnts. He told the
farmer that the gold standard would
cause tho mortgage to oat up the old
homestead. On the contiary, the can
cellation of farm mortgages Is a lead
ing Industry In the west. He appealed
to labor to avert tho crown of thorns,
and today n million men have profit
able employment who then had been
but recently dependent upon the sou.i
house for food. Klther he practiced
falhe pretence four years ago or he
was woefully deceived. If the former,
he Is today unworthy of respect; If
the latter, he Is not to be truhtcd as a
lendet, however much we may ndmlra
him as nn orator, a citizen or a filend.
Peace will not be restored in China
now until Germany has hail a chance
to give the Chinese pigtail nt least one
twist.
An Offer of Employment.
I
N ANOTHER place In today's
Tribune will bo found the details
of an offer of employment made
by the management of thl3 paper
to the young men and youn women
of Northeastern Pennsylvania who may
be desirous of earning something dur
ing the summer vacation period.
The Tribune presents this offer ns a
slralghtfcrward business proposition
and will fulfil Its terms in every par
ticular. Its circulation is growing
steadily week by week nnd Is now not
only larger than it has ever been but
also represents a more stable and ap
preciative constituency thnn It has
ever had before. This Is In conse
quence of the publication of a clean,
newsy nnd continually improving
paper, which makes for Itself a per
manent place In every intelligent home
Into which It Is introduced.
Rut the very fact that tho paper
pleases those who read it regularly
causes us to believe that Its circle of
readers can be largely increased; and
to this end we offer liberal compensa
tion to those who shall bo instrumental
In helping to increase It. In every
community throughout Northeastern
Pennsylvania nre young men nnd
young women of limited means who de
sire an academic education, and who
are willing to work to get one. Tho
Tribune today pi Me Us to them an op
portunity to fulfil this worthy ambi
tion. Our purpose is sellleh In tho
sense that we expect to profit by their
work. Hut it Is also In a measure un
selfish, since it has prepared tho lar
gest and most generous inducements
eer offered for tho performance of
similar labor. Every bit of work done
In The Tribune's behalf which pro
duces results will be pp.ld for, either
In cash or In the fotm of special re
wards ranging In value from 11,000
down. The more effective tho work,
the larger the pay.
The Tribune Invites close attention
to its exceptional offer nnd trusts that
Its friends will convey Information of
this offer to those who are not Informed
of It. t There Is nothing deceptive, noth
ing unfair, nothing unbuslnebs-like In
the arrangement. It Is a legitimate
proffer of seasonable employment un
der conditions which ought to call
forth nn immediate and energetic re
sponse. Girl messengers are now employed
with grent success in plnco of boys In
London. They nre reported to be
much more reliable as well ns more
speedy. The loitering innio had better
take warning In time.
Prosperity In Snipping.
A'
CCORDING to a contributor
to tho Engineering Mncn
zlne there are now building
or under contract in tho
ship-yards of the XTnlted States mer
cantile and naval tonnngo which rep
resents nn aggregate value, exclusive
of tho armor and nrmnnient for tho
naval vessels, of $03,000,000. Of this
total, the naval vessels building for
the United States navy department
foot up, In round numbers, $3l,500,OCO;
the two Russian war essels, building
at the yard of William Cramp & Sons
company, J5.000.000; tho mercantile
vessels on the Atlantic and Pacific,
coasts, $18,000,000; the meicantlle ves
He's on the great lakes, $10,000,000; and
the rnercantllo craft on tho Inland
rivers. $1,500,000.
""Comparing this showing with tho
volumo of business on hand In tho
early summer of 1869, we And," he says,
"a distinct gain of $7,000,000 In tho
value of contracts. Inasmuch ns the
commissions in the hands of the build
ers at that time amounted to approx
imately $02,000,000. That tho growth of
the Industry is, moreover, even grenter
than evidenced by these figures may bo
appreciated by a comparison of tho
sundry Items which go to mako up each
total, It will thus be seen that where
as tho volume of naval work foil off
$8,000,000, without taking Into consid
eration the Russian contracts, the
value of the ships building on the la-
land rivers wns almost doubled! the
aggregate of contracts at tho great
lake yards was more thnn trebled, and
tho plants on the Atlantic and Pacific
consts show an Increase of man,) per
cent. In the commissions on their
honks."
It Is not surprising that our ship
builders as a rule vota tho Republican
ticket.
On Saturday last the Washington
Star, one of the very best newspapers
printed cnywliere, opened to public
Inspection a ten-story new home which,
In benuty, magnificence nnd adaptabil
ity to the put poses in view, Is probably
tho finest newspaper publishing house
In tho wond. The Star Is a very prof
itable enterprise. Heport has estimat
ed Us nnnual profits at a quarter of
a million dollars. Its success has fol
lowed along tho belt lines of conser
vative and conscientious Journalism
nnd is therefore a cause for general
congratulation.
Miss Ingnlls, of Kentucky, Is an
nounced as one of the llryan cam
paign orntois. Ml?s Ingalls, nccordlng
to newspaper half-tone cuts, Is strik
ingly handsome nnd Is said to possess
talents In proportion to her beauty.
Her one dinwback Is that she cannot
vote.
Tho fact that since his recent defeat
Mr. Thomas Sharkey has decided to
marry n Chicago woman shows that
the pugilist of the sea realizes the
necessity of having an energetic spar
ling pattner.
Ooorgc Fred Williams, It seems, suc
ceeds in attracting attention only once
in four years. As a living example of
expectations vain, George Fled will bo
entitled to consideration until the close
of the Kansas City convention.
The enthusiasm over gubernatorial
candidate Alschuler of Illinois, Is of a
hesitating nature. Tho crowds are un
certain what 'Alschuler' means in
United States lingo.

America is the one nation above nil others

is most vital; It guarantees to her supremiey
on the P.icltk, and in the far cist It Is known
as "the American policy," its active promulga

acquisition of the Philippines has plated us on

Register James R. Howe, of Kings County, N Y among the promises he m.ide In his
ante-election campal;n, pleJgeJ himself not to accept the fess of his otTue, which amount
to about Stoo.ooo, excepting just enough for living expenses. He is about to carry his
promise into execution by distributing his surplus to worthy charities.
lli'ssh, not being a manufacturing nation, has
relied on us to stipplv the material for her
Asiatic railways, and the machinery for the de
velopment of her new pots minis in the fir ci t,
so that our interests In China have become In
terwoven. Our warships nnd the Itussian army
transports appear to have been the first to ar
rive at the scene of trouble, which might
hive been quickly terminated, but for .Tipm's
protest against the landing of lliO) Ciss.uks
at Tien Tsln, the mlkado'x ndvlseis knowing too
well that, once Itussian troops entered Pekln,
tho occupancy wculd be permanent.
o
The "lloxers" repicsent the lingering imliers
of the great Talping rebellion, now again finned
Into flames. With their annihilation by the
gie.it power", "Young China" will rlso supreme
and at once pioeced with its progrinuno feir the
regeneration of China. The richest coal and
iron mines in the world will be opened up, a
complete svstem of rail nnd river transportation
ctablKhod, and mills, foundries and factories
will spring up all over the empire. Excellent
coal Is evtn now sold nt thousands of inlin 1
mines at 11! cents a ton, and iron oie nt a
proportionately low figure. With the comple
tion of the projected rallroaels the distinction
of being the great steel producing nation seems
destined to pass from America to ( him. After
wc have supplied the m.ichineiy and equipment
for developing the limitless mineral resources
of China she will doubtless be able to supply
many commoelitles so cheaply that no other hi
tlon can compete witn her, so tint the opening
up of China, while it will pour vast occ.un of
wealth into our pockets, is not devoid cf serious
dangers which threaten future generations. So
U behooves us lo be active and enrich ourselves
now, against the rainy diy which seems el. siliuvl
to come upon us aller a season of commercial
sunshine.

The crar, earnest In his leadership of the peice
element, holds a tight rein on the war pirly,
which would precipitate Hu-sia into endless
trouble in the far east by annexlrg great, popu

counsels of the c?ir seem to pievail, and now

for her overflowing population. That the Uus.

pllsheel seems inevitable. In a single decade
ltiissla has planted a colony of more thin a
million souls in her Pacific provinces, besides
spending; hundreds of millions cf rubles In re
paring the country for their hibitatlon. Hall
rouls, cities and manufacturing towns have
sprung up like magic. Hundreds of steamers
hive been built to ply the newly openeil f hin
ese waters. The feverish, powerful nctivltv of
Itu-slu has no counterpart In the history of the
world. Its greatest djnger ariis from the
fact that at any time the war party at Ft.
Petersburg mav prcdominite, China woull be
invaded nnd Its military forces wi uld be reo
ganlzed into a Itussian army; rifles and modern
ordnance would take the place of bows and ar
rows, making China, in its downfall, moie than
ever a menace to the peace of tho world. Ile

A night clerk in one of the well-known hotels of Central Connec
ticut states these interesting facts : " I was badly troubled with indi
gestion, biliousness and heartburn. On one or two occasions I've
been standing behind this desk and would suddenly find myself top
pling over and for a few seconds my mind would be a perfect blank
a soit of dizziness. At other times I've been walking along the street
and would all of a sudden begin to stagger and I know some people
thought I had a jag on, although I never drink any liquor whatever.
It was a runner for a New York concern that first told me to try
RIPANS TAHULES, but they proved to be just the thing I needed
and although I have not used fifty of them in all, my troubles from
indigestion have vanished completely."
