The Political Situation la 1654.
The election of 1S52 had shown the Titter
incapacity of the "Whig: party to deal -with
the political problems of the time. So
complete "was the party demoralization
that few believed It could ever again cope
with Its formidable antagonist. The
weak,half-hearted manner of Its treat
ment of slavery had alienated alike Its
anti-slavery adherents in the North and
the strong Southern element -which op
posed the Democratic policy. The lack
of genuine political and moral convic
tions, coupled -with a deficiency of polit
ical wisdom and statesmanlike foresight,
was the disease of which the "Whig party
dledr or, to change the figures, those were
the rocks upon which the party was split
Into fragments, the larger portion of
-which drifted Into -the stream of Kaow
nothlngism, which was rapidly spreading
over the country, especially In the East
ern States. The free-soll-'party, which
called itself after 151 the Free Democ-

racy, also grained accessions and reacht-d
by 1B51 tho height of its Influence. Its
greatest strength was in the Northwest,
and its more sanguine members hoped
that Whiggery was to succeed Free Dem
ocracy. Meantime the Democrats felt them-!
selves to be upon the crest of the wave.
Their following, too, was swelled by Wh'g
dissensions and failures. The new Dsm
ocratlc President, suave and popular, and
using, after the accepted Democratic
fashion, all the resources of his, office for
the jjarty advantage, seemed destined to
cement more closely the party of expe
rience and prestige and to carry it on to
greater triumphs. Southern slaveholders
read Pierce's inaugural with complacency, ,
and in the selection of his Cabinet South
ern prejudices were thoughtfully regard
ed. The elections of 1553 conOrmed the
party leaders In the expectation of a long
lease of practically uncontested power.
The Democratic majority in each houe
of Congress was large, and no effective
opposition appeared from any quarter. i
The Knniina-Xcbrniika Hill. j
Out of the clear sky came the thunder
bolt. The Question of slavery was deemed
by politicians of all parties to have been
definitely settled and removed from the
ilst of political problems by the compro
mises of 1820 and 1S60, by which the whole
of United States territory was parcelod
out as open either to freedom or to slav
ory. AntJ-slavery sentiment did. indeed.
continue to spread and deepen, but there i
seemed no opening for effective taction.
Triumphant Democracy held the reins of
the ohariot of state and saw no pitfalls In
the smooth course which the future un
rolled before it.
A bill had passed the House in 1ES3 for
giving a territorial organization to Ne
braska, which then included what re
mained of the Louisiana purchase a vast
tract stretching from the Indian Territory
to Oregon. That bill, drawn in the ordi
nary form, said nothing about slavory.
The Missouri Compromise was understood
to have made- free soil forever of all that
region. Pro-slavery members naturally
opposed the bill and were able to prevent
Its passage through the upper house.
When the same bill came up in the next
Congress it was referred by the Senate
to the committee on territories, of which
Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, was ohair
roan. His report, made In January, 1S34,
was a startling one. It opened anew the
great dispute and gave a new and unfore
seen turn to the old contest. This report
presented the original bill with amend
ments which incorporated a new and far
Teaching discovery of the brilliant Sana
tor. The compromises of 1S50, by which
the Territories of Utah and New Mexico
were admitted to organization, left the
question of slaverj; to be decided by the
people of thbse "territories. That action
'was' now declared by Senator Douglas to
Te .the adoption of a principle universal
ln its application to the territories of the
United States. "Henceforth," said he.
"all questions pertaining to slavery in
xne'iern rones ana in tne new states to
be: formed therefrom are to bo left to the
people residing therein' Tims an act of

Stephen A. Douglas.
Congress, passed for ..a specific purpose,
was ' pronounced a great Constitutional
rule applicable to the whole country, and
restricting the action of all subsoquent
Congresses. This novel interpretation oi
the legislation of 1B50 wholly Temoved the
subject of slavery from Congressional
control and 'placed it with the settlors of
the territories. It established as Its au
thor set forth In his powerful final speech
upon the bill, tho Just and logical prin
dpleof true democracy, "popular sover
eignty," and the noninterference of Con
gress with the Institution of slaverj'. The
Missouri .compromise was practically an
nulled, and slaverj' in the territories of
the Louisiana purchase became once more
an open question. Dixon of Kentucky
moved an, amendment definitely repealing
that part of the Mlssouria compromise re
lating to slaverj". and this Douglas in
corporated into a new draft of his MIL
and in its final form the bill divided the
Nebraska tract into the two territories,
Kansas and Nebraska, declared the fugi
tive slave law to apply to both and the
Missouri compromise, so far as it con
cerned slavery, to bo inoperative and void
as inconsistent with the principle of non
intervention by Congress with slaverj" In
the states and territories, "as recognized
b the legislation of 1S50.

bearing of the committee's report "Slav
ery takes the field." the newspapers an
nounced to their anxious readers. Severe
reflections were cast upon the motives of
the author of tho movement. The Demo
cratic party had no abler member than
tho "Littlo Giant" from Illinois. It was
plain that this voluntary bringing for
ward of tho apple of discord was the re
sult of deliberate and careful purpose,
and that the support of the Adminis
tration mustibe assured. Douglas as
pired to lead his party as Clay had led
the "Whigs, and he certainly sought its
Presidential nomination for 1KV6. To that
end he must have the support of the
South, with its 13) electoral votes. Of
the West, his own section, he felt se
cure. The East wis his Irreconcilable
enemy. The Middle States wero uncer
tain. To tho South, then, favors must be
given.
A lonr and full debate In Congress
made clear to all the scope and prob
able effects of the proposed legislation.
The excitement in tho North grew even
more Intense. Throughout the Winter
and Spring public meetings without num
ber were held to express the bitter In
dignation of tho people at being thus

tricked and betrayed. Petitions and re
monstrances flooded the truckling Con
gress. Press, platform and pulpit united
in efforts to avert the disaster. The bill
passed May 25. by a small majority in
the House, and a large one in the Sen
ate. Long before plans had been set
afoot for saving the new territory for
freedom in the only way which would
still be possible, should the bill becorao
law. If the Inhabitants of Kansas wero
to determine its status as free or slave
soil, then those inhabitants must be anti-slavery
men from tho Northern States
As yet but a. handful of whites were to
be found In the whole great tract under
discussion, but as soon as the Indian
titles which barred tho way should be
extinguished settlers would pour In by
thousands, at least into the southern por
tion, which was deemed the more fertile
and the more attractive.
The New England Emigrant Aid So
ciety, chartered with a capital of millions
of dollars before the Nebraska bill had
passed, gave a practical and effective ex
pression to Northern agitation. Before
the Summer of 1SS4 had closed some 500
anti-slavery emigrants had begun the
long Journey from the seaboard to the
debatable land. All the way they re
ceived accessions to their number doub
ling and even quadrupling them.
Movements for n Xevr Party.
A variety of efforts to collect into a
now political body thp scattered forces
opposed to the Democratic party followed
the Whig defeat of 1852. None of them
proved effective until the Nebraska bill
of 1834 supplied the needed element for
precipitating the moral and political
earnestness and purpose held In solution
in the seething caldron of Northern sen
timent. Political action In several of the
Northwestern States crystallized about
the bill. Free-sollers, Free Democrats,
Anti-Slavery Democrats and Abolition
ists all became "anti-Nebraska men."
Local organizations began to fuse their
differences In tho white heat of indigna
tion against the Douglas bill. Ere long
In all the Northwestern States a new
party appeared, and plans for National
action were discussed. On tho 24th of
Maj. the day before the final passage
of the Nebraska bill, the powerful Now
Tork Tribune of Horace Greeley called
for a "union of all the elements of the
opposition" to the nefarious action of
Congress. The Autumn elections oT 1834
strengthened in the lower house tho op
position to the Administration.
The situation in Kansas continued to
absorb attention. The President Issued
In December a special message, which
declared his Intensely partisan attitude
against the free-soil movement Acrid
debates in Congress, the assault upon
Charles Sumner by a 'Southern "fire
eater," the march of events in the distant
territorj' where the deadly struggle drew
dally nearer to the fatal plunge into
bloody civil war all this continually
widened the sectional breach. The out
look was gloomy In the catrerne.
The Republican Party.
At this dark hour the Republican party
was born. The name was one which had

history. It had never quite disappeared
from party nomenclature. Even yet the
"Democrats claimed it as a part of their
official designation. It could not be ab
sent from the thought of any who con
templated a new party organization, and
It had been assumed In some of tho
Northwestern States for the new state
party. For the new National party it
was adopted, as Greeley saj's, "almost
spontaneously."
In February, I85G, a delegate convention
met In Pittsburg, and organized the Re
publican partj. A long and able exposi
tion of its principles and purposes was
set forth and a nbminatlng convention
was called to meet In Philadelphia -In
June. All who deprated the' repeal of
the Missouri compromise and favored
Congressional control of the territories
were Invited, but only Delaware, Mary
land and Kentuckj' of .the slave states
sent delegates. Jnto the Republican party

A GLANCE AT CHINA.
Sketch of Chinese History, Vth.
Probabilities for the Future.
Assuming the news from Chtna to be
authentic the Middle Kingdom is likely
to suffer severance in advance of aoy
action bj- other powers. The story is
that Prince Tuan has seized the gov
ernment, put the Emperor to death and
has likewise poisoned the Dowager Em
press, who Is djlng.
If this Is correct, the 19 provinces or
states of China will probably become
practlcallj' independencies under their
Viceroys, who will sit as petty Kings,
suzerain to the central authority, which,
however, will very soon expire. Woo
Wang, an early Emperor of China, tried
the sj-stem of separate principalities,
dividing China Into 72 states, with tho
result that the central power was de
stroyed for any effectiveness, and a few
centuries served to place the Tartars
in control, who had been Invited over
to assist In quelling a rebellion, but that
over, refused to retire arid later sat up
the Manchoo dynasty.
Prince Tuan, of course has not con
templated any independent states in the
empire, but it Is wholly unlikely that ho
can hold them, the 19 now existing pro
vinces, nor the dependencies of Manchu
ria, Mongolia, Thibet, Jungaria and East
ern Turkestan, while tho suzerainty that
Corea has acknowledged will be extin
guished utterly.
All the states 6? provinces south of the
Yangtse are Inhabited by people who
have never had any lOVe for the Man
chus. For centuries thej have been ready
to have that dynasty overthrown. They
have been held by the Tartar power
under fear and at no time have they been
patriotically dutiful to the Imperial
throne.
The present opportunity, therefore, will
prove theirs, and the complete breaking
up of the great Mlddlo Kingdom Is cer
tainly at hand, irrespective of any action
of the European and Asiatic powers.
China is seven times the size of France,
and embraces one-thirteenth of the land
ed area of tho globe It has a population
variously estimated at from SS3.000.000 to
4CO.O00.O00. Back of 2207 B. C. the history
of China is traditional and vague. The
mj'ths of the empire name Fuh HI as the
founder, who was sucoeeded by Shlng
Nung, who is credited with a reign of 140
years, v a thing altogether Improbable.
Then came Hwang Tl, who Invented
weapons and Introduced coins and
weights, followed bj Tl Ku, who estab
lished schools. In 2SS7 B. C. his son, Yau,
camo to the throne, and with him the
historic record begins. In bis reign came
the event correspondent with the story
of tho flood. He organized the political
system and built up commerce. His son
Shun followed the same methods.
Following him came the dynasty of
HIa. 2207-1767. founded by Yu the Great,
who united ecclesiastical and temporal
authorltj'. His grandson was dethroned
by a revolution and was succeeded by
his brother. Chung Kang, followed bj
Shan Kang after a long war, and he by
Tl Chu, who reigned well and mildly.
Tho dynasty decayed through come gen
erations and was overthrown by revo
lution and succeeded by tho dynasty of
Shang or Yin, under which, between 1766
and 1122 B. C. thero were 23 rulers, most
ly vicious. Wu Wang, a General, suc
ceeded, and as a military man founded
tho dynasty of Chow, which endured for
873 years and was a period of constant
wars and revolutions, and of conflicts
with the trespassing Tartars on tho
north.
The reign of Li Wang, expounder of tho
Confucian doctrine, was from 571 to 544.
In the dynasty of TBin which succeeded,
the unity of the empire was restored,
the vassal states subdued anew, and the
independence which many of them had
gained was crushed. Ching Wang, 246
210, erected the great wall to keep out
tho Tartar hordes, and assumed tha title
of Emperor. This man Is the .greatest of
the national heroes, of China and his
memory Is celebrated as such today.
Under him all previous political writings
were burned, including the works of
Confucius and Menclus. The dynasty of
Han (305 B. C. to A. D. 220) gave China
several Emperors, one of whom restored
ancient literature. Another subjected the
Tartar country as for as the Caspian
Sea and under another Buddhism was
introduced.
Ho Ti, A. D. SJ-10G,. Introduced tho cul
ture of the grape, and A. D. 500 Rome
sent an embassy to China, believed to
be the first. From that date for 40 yoara
tho empire was divided Into three king
doms, but there was a union under Wu
Ti, founder of the second dynasty of the
Tfiin (300 to 420). Tho Tartars now gained
a foothold in the north and established
an Independent kingdom (SS6).
Four dynasties ruled Southern China
to 500, a period full of wars, domestic
broils and religious persecutions. In that
year Prince Sui subjected' the 'Tartars,
conquered the southern provinces and re
united the kingdom. Under the dynasty
of Tang Christianity was preached in
China by Olopen. Kow Tsung pushed
Chinese conquests to the borders of Per
sia. His son was the Chariomange of
China, but the latter's successors became
the tools and creatures of the eunuchs,

Tartars reffnlned much power anfl the
Mongolians overran the empire.
Genghis KhWaa?altel Fefcln In 1215 and
Kublal ,3vban (She Tbu) established the
first Mongol dynasty in China, with Pekln
as th3 capltnl 1779-13GS). The last em
peror of the Bunc dynasty rommltted sui
cide and the conquerors were In full
swing. Under Kublal Khan, Cochin China
and Tonquln. were conquered and Marco
Polo began $o make his famous tours In
China. .
In 1294 the flrst Catholic missionaries
ontered vPekln. In 13SS Gnu, Yuen .Chang",
a BuddhlBt monk, overthrew the dynasty
of tho Mongols and becamo emperor.
The Ming dynasty was thus established
and lasted 276 years, that la to. 1644. In
the middle of the -fifteenth century the
Tartars Invaded but were repelled from
China, Under Shi Tsung, the Manchus
or Mantchoos, began their invasion, Por
tugal opened trade with. China, and the
Dutch, after repeated repulses, managed
at last to establish trading posts.
In 1615 the Manchus began hostilities
becauso of the assassination of their
king by order of the Chlneso Emperor,
and again from 1633 to 1&44 tho nation
was drenched with blood. Finally the
Mantchoos entered Pekin and set up the
son of their King as Emperor, who thus
became the .founder of the present Mant
ch'oo dynasty which to this date has
held tho emplre-in Its grip. -
During their rule revolutions. Insurrec
tions and persecution of Christians have
been frequent. The first Protestant mis
sionary went Inr ISO? and translated the
Bible into Chinese. By tho end of the
seventeenth century the English had
gained a foothold in China? In 1840-1842
came the opium war between England
and China, as a result of which, among
other concessions, the British secured the
transfer of Honff Kong to them.
In 1844 we sent Caleb Cushlng to Chtna
and negotiated a satisfactory treaty with
the Imperial Government. There have
since then been frequent brushes be
tween China and the European States,
and in 1B5S we wero one of the allies ad
vancing against China's strongholds to
enforce recognition of International rights
for our citizens In China. The history of
China since that time Is familiar to
readers.
It now looks as If the story of the
overthrow of the Manchu dynasty is to
bo repeated, that China will cease to be
a great empire, will be split up into petty
kingdoms with no small part parcelled
out between the European powers, while
Ihe suzerainty over Corea will be broken,
and thai peninsula will become a Japan
ese dependency.

' " JOHIT ELIOT'S BIBLE.
One, of the Boolcs- fn. a Collection of
Snored Literatnre on Exhibition.
Boston. Mass.-Groat interest la-manifested
In tho free exhibition of a collec
tion of Blbl;s and sacred literature at
the Bible room of the Congregational
house on Beacon street The grcate
part of the collection conlrrJ of what
are known as "workers' " Bibles, and are
from the library of S. Bralnard Pratt, of
Boston. It Is irobably the linest collec
tion of Bibles- to he found in the United
States, and the existence of a better one
In the world is not known.
One of the books which, is attracting
rather more attention than any of the
others is the illuminated Bible, long used
by the late Dwight L. Moody, and con
taining many notes in his own handwrit
ing. Mr. Moody once said In Boston:
"Bible marking, with the insertion of side
notes, marginal referenc. etc., con
verts the margins of one's Bible into
a "notebook at Hand at any moment,"'
and he evinced his faith in tho staterrent
by making copious notes in his" own Bible.
Another Bible which is" of general in
terest Is the one used for more than 20
years by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
In the 20 years In which ho had this
Bible in service ho wore out the bind
ing, and then he bad the book cut down
and rebound. For 20 years after that,
or until his death, he used the Bible at
funeral b.
Almost equaling the Beecher Bible In
interest is the John Knox Bible, with
oak covers, made from wood from the
John Knox houso, Netherboat, Edinburgh.
Scotland. Knox was a Roman Catholic
priest In 1530, a Protestant reformer in
1543, and for two years a galley slave.
It was said cf him that Marr, Queen of
Scots, was more afraid of him thanshe
would have been of & regiment of sol
diers. Another remarkable Bible Is one used
on the march und In three prisons dur
ing the Civil "War by the Rev. Dr. Henry
Clay Trumbull, a chaplain in the 'Feder
al Army. He preached from this Bible
while confined in Lahby prison, and used
the 'marginal leaves for a sort mC diary.
There is also In the coilvJii nn nnclc.nl
Bible owned by Phillip Melancthon, pro
fessor of Greek In the University; of Wit
tenberg In the sixteenth century and be
tween whom and Ltither there was the
most touching friendship. This Bible la
accompanied by Luther's translation of
the Psalms, published In Leipzig In 1541.
There is a Geneva Bible of 1577, which
is said to have once been owned by Queen
Elizabeth.
One of the rarest books in the .collec
tion is that used by the Apostle John
Eliot in preaching to the Indians There

As Good as
Cars Be
The St. Louis special is a first
class train for first and second
class passengers.
It carries sleeping, tourist and re
clining chair cars, and a dining
car. In the dining-cars are seggtj;
good meals as can be had at ANT
hotel on the Continent. So good
are they that If the St. Louis spe
cial were the very slowest Instead
of, as it is, the very fastest train
from Portland to Kansas City, and
St. Louis, it would still be the part
of wisdom to take it.
