JVO TKMPORIZIXO WITH CHINA.
Tbe powers will not temroiize
with China. Tie fact is clearly in.
tlicateil by the flat-footed lefusal of
the United States, Great Britain and
Franco to listen to tbe peace propos
als of Kwang Hsu, representing Lira
self as actual emperor of the Chinese
empire, says the Spokesman-Review.
The edict appointing Li Hung Chang
ns envoy plenipotentiary to negotiate
for peace with the powers is only a
subterfuge. Were the powers to
nccede to the request of the emperor
it would only allow more time for
China to gel her armies into shpe
for the serious woik of attempting to
drive tbe allied troops to the sea
coast.
It is pretty clearly established thnt
no terms offered by China will find
favor that do not include entrnnce
of tbo allied armies into Pekin for
tbe safe conduct to tbe seaconst of
tke diplomats, missionaries and na
tive Christians now besieged in l'e
kin. It would be worse than folly
to back down at this juncture from
the position assumed hy tbe civilized
world. The powers have set out to
teacb China that she must be decent
in her treatment of foreigners. They
have demanded that tbo ministers
accredited to Pekin be safe-guarded
and have time and again asked for
proof that their demands have been
complied with. No satisfactory an
swer has been had. Instead of put
ting into operation all machinery at
hand in Pekin to preserve tbe lega
tions 'rom barm, China has permitted
tbe imperial troops to daily besiege
the legationers and has summoned to
to tbe front all the troops within
marching distance of tbe foreign in
vaders. Every avenue through
which news of actual conditions in
Pekin might be had lias been effectu
ally closed. The same conditions m
any other capital of the globe would
long ago have been rause for a dec
laration of war by every nation in
terested and something would drop,
Altogether too much latitude has
been given the Chinese. They have
been permitted to take their lime to
answer every proposal and ultima
tum given them. Wkep they failed
to reply to important notes excuses
have been made until invention has
been exhausted. The only safe
course to pursue with China is to
compel her to biwb'e herself and
apologize for the gross insults offered
tbe foregn ministers, and the powers
must exact ample and immediate
reparation for the excesses com
mitted by the Boxers and the im
perial troops. To make tbe lesson a
thorough one they should have a
complete understanding with the Pe
kin government on matters of com
merce and missionaries. If tbe
powers fail to do this China will be
a closed book for many years to
come. I
The powers agree that it is impos
sible to take seriously the proposals
of Kwang Hsu until it is well estab
lished that he is in reality the em
peror. That they will falter in their
determination to force entrmce to
Pekin seems improbable. When the
ministers and their establishments,
the missionaries and native converts
are in places of safety it will be time
to consider China's appeal for ccssa
tion of hostilities.

be ncquired in wealth and power he
owed timply and solely to his own
exertions, iron will, patient accumu
lation and retention of useful infor
mation and application to sagacious
plans and prudent safeguards.
It is impossible to speak of Mr.
Huntington's career, great in achieve
ment and inspiring in example as it
was ltr many ways of patient indus
try, strenuous endeavor and bold
enunciation of the practical views cf
life and society he held, without
reflecting in regret upon the stu
pendous power he exerted in a po
litical way for the benefit of the vast
private interests with which he was
identified. To man so influenced
congress in questionable ways, what
ever be thought of the justice of the
ends be sought. Bui if we are sin
cure we must recognize that the
'principal in these offenses is the cor
rupt oilicial and tbe corporation is
the accessory. The average man
will prefer to carry on his business in
alawful and honorable way if he is
let alone. The original source of
railroad corruption is to be found in
unscrupulous olackmailers who have
sworn to do their duty to tbe state.
With honest men elected to office, all
that is unlovely in the public career
of C. P. Huntington could never be.
Tbe first move of the corporation in
politics is self-protection. Tbe next
step to self-aggrandizement is easy.
Huntington, no less than Skakes
peare or Lincoln, is tbe product of
tbe life of his time.
them from poer. The republican
party under McKinley is continuing
tbe anli-impetialiscn work of Lincoln.
"To over ten millions of the human
race living in tbe Philippine islands
it has given 'a new birth of free
doaj.'i" The responsibility of caring
for the new "wards of the nation"
wi'.l be met as faithfully by tbe re
publican party as it has been in the
case of tbo freedmen of tbe south
schools for the children, fair trails
by jury, equality of opportunity
with the white man, these are some
of the things the republican party
has accomplished for the negro race
of this country, after it rescued them
from their bonds; and will do also
for tbe millions it has since rescued
from tbe cruel "dominion of Spain.
In China the republican administra
tion is opposing imperialistic parti
tion by European nations and is ad
vocating tbe "open door,"
not." There are many men in East
ern Oregon who are not indifferent
on the subject, and they can remem
ber tbe time when sheep were almost
valueless as a result of the tariff law
Bryan helped to passed.
"Elect me to tbe presidency. The
senate is safely republican, and it
would be impossible for me to do
any harm to the country during tbe
next four years." Does the country
want a chief executive who is com
polled to make such a plea in bis own
behalf?
Anxiety as to the tate of the Pe
kin relief expedition is acute. News
may come any hour that it has met
serious resistance before the gates of
the capital, and the losses of tbe last
engagement were so serious that tbe
powers expect the next will bring
with it a talo of heavy losses. If tbe
Imperial troops are ordered to resist
tbe final entrance of tbe allied troops
into the city, tbe invaders will have
a more desperate task than has yet
been given there, for there has been
ample time for Chinese commanders
to place artillery at oil weak points
to fortify the natural approaches,
There is hope, that China will weaken
when tbe Imperial authorities sur
rounding the empress dowager are
actually brought face to face with
the relief forces, but that hope can
not safely be based on any action
heretofore taken by China.
There is an interesting subsidence
of the hue and cry from democratic
sources about "militarism." Tbe
phenomenon has been coincidental
wilb Bryan's long silencd about
China, and final confession that the
administration was doing tbe right
thing there. If "militarism" is right
in China, as Mr. Bryan admits, why
is it wrong in the Philippines?
Troops in China may avenge crimes
that have been committed, but can
never restore tbe lives of people
that have been already massacred.
In the Philippines the use of Arucri
can troops has prevented the perpe
tration of such horrors as in China
have shocked the whole world, In
eluding even Mr. Biyan. Manila
was prevented riom occomiog a
charnel house only througn the vig
ilance of American troops who were
on guard duty the night that Aguin
aldo had set for the general massacre
ot all Americans and Europeans in
that city. How about the old adage
that "an ounce of prevention is
worth one pound of cure?"
There is one army that goes up
with a great bound when the demo
cratic party controls tbe country,
and that is the army of the unemployed.

COLL1S P. IIVSTISOTOS.
In the field he bad chosen for tbe
exercise of his great talents, Mr. Col
lis P. Huntington was supreme, says
the Oregonian. His power in trans
portation circles, and especially in
tbe relationship transportation en
terprise sustains to government, was
something no man ever attained be
fore and no man, perhaps, ever will
attain again. His career is another
of those monumental rebukes to tbe
assertion of charlatans that there is
no show in this country for a poor
man. Huntington was born a poor
Connecticut country boy. All that
This is the way Towne looks at it,
He says he was in doubt, when tbe
democrats adopted their "splendid
platform" at Chicago in 1896,
whether they were actuated by an
impulse or a purpose, but the "mag
nificent achievements" at Kansas
City have settled all doubts on the
subject. Here we have it then. Tbe
''paramount issue" may go a glim
mering for all of Mr. Towne. It is
tbe "magnificent achievement" of re
affirming 16 to 1 and tbe whole Chi
cago platform that has so enamored
him of the democratic party that be
declines the populist nomination in
order to crystallize that "splendid
platform" into an administration pol
icy by the election of Mr. Bryan.
Here is one man at least who is not
biding behind an anti-imperialism
decoy with a 16 ta 1 gun.
W. S, Stratton, who recently sold
his Independence mine at Cripple
Creek for 10,000,000, gave 23,000
to the dcrrocratic campaign fund in
1896, and was one of Bryan's most
enthusiastic supporters. This year
he says he will give more than 25,
000 to the republican campaign fund
ind will support McKinley.
The democratic cry of "imperial
ism" is like tbe thief's cry of "stop
thief;" in order to divert tbe pursu
ing crowd from himself. The re
publican party was the means of
freeing the slaves whom the demo-
At Chicago on Monday Bryan de
livered a part of his speech of ac
ceptance into the phonograph, and
this will be ground out in different
sections of the country, and become
an important part of the campaign.
There is no advantage in this it is
machine both in original and coun
terfeit excepting lhat the counter
felt will be slightly more automatic.
Tbe circus managers will certainly
all avail themselves of this opportu
nity. Mr. Biyan is a great enter
tainer. He appeals to tbe ears of
the people, but this does not lead any
great number of them to conclude
that they want him for president.

Mr. Bryan promises that if elected
he will undertake to give the tilipi
nos self-government. But suppose
they prefer a dictatorship under
Aguinaldo, what then? Will Bryan
insist on establishing self-govern
ment by force? Besides, if the
United States has no established
right to the islacds, what right would
Bryan have to even suggest wbat
kind of a government tbey should
have? That would be a variety of
imperialism that the German kaiser
would hardly attempt.

Tbe Des Moines Leader, an anti-
imperialism" organ in Iowa, says:
"Let it be granted tbat imperialism
will slay its hundreds; 16 to 1 would
slay its thousands, Let tbe Novem
ber news be that Mr. Bryan is
elected, and although it may bring
gladness to the far-off Filipinos, as
to tbe struggle for their liberties, it
will bring despair and a short larder
to tho American business and work
ing man."
Every democratic editor is bard at
work trying to convince his readers
tbat tbe 16 to 1 plank of the Kansas
City platform doesn't mean anything.
But he doesn't attempt tD account
for Mr. Bryan's persistency in forc
ing its adoption.

have been more pronounced.
