We are not Inclined to place confi dence In the date assigned to the re cent dispatch received at Washington from Minister Conger, though It was undoubtedly written by him, probably at a date two weeks earlier than the one It bore. The reports concerning the destruction of the Dritish and other legations Juiy Sth have been too well authen ticated to admit of any probability that they held out till the ISth Inst The rumor that some of the ministers have been taken within the Inner city, and are held in a palace under the protection of the Imperial government, may not be groundless, but Is entire ly contradictory to the reputed cable gram from Minuter Conger, which stated that be was In imminent dan ger, within the walls of the British le gation. The rumors of treachery on the part of 14 Hung Chang are probably groundless, and, if the English offi cials make the mistake of arresting bim at Shanghai, serious trouble with the Southern provinces Is likely to re sult. Otherwise the Boxer movement is not likely to stir up the Chinese of the south, who are of a milder and purer type, comparatively unmixed with the Tartar barbarians of the north. It Is from the south that our Chi nese residents come, and any attempt to retaliate upon them for the Box- er horrors of the northern provinces lsidete' at the polls. They are not absurd and most unjustifiable. The en tire north of China now seems aflame; Siberia is invaded, and Russia is com mencing active warfare, part from the other powers, against the ruthless invader. The question now alarming! the world is which of these two armies ts to prove the most barbarous in its mode of warfare and the most disas trous to the pea.- of Europe. The cause of the Boxer movement is deep-seated hatred of foreigners; the missionaries, traders, officials and trav elers each equally having Incurred the Chinaman's ire in various ways, until the long accumulating anti-foreign sen timent has prepared the minds of the people for the present outburst. The vicious habits of the whites In the Far East have disgusted the Chinaman, as i well they might, and the Insults dally For Bilious and Nervous Disorder?, inch .

The en croachments upon Chinese territory by the foreign powers have been a bitter pill for the Chlneso people to swallow, and are largely responsible for tlie strength of the Boxer movement. The Chinaman Is very patriotic. In a julet way, and has long resented these unjustihable assaults upon China's In tegrity. Though nothing can Justify the bar baric war and the awful outrages per petrated by the Chinese, the nations are but reaping wh.it they have sown, in this crisis now upon them. THE GERMAN-AMERICANS. Seattle Post-Intelligencer. A good deal of ridiculous talk is be' tng indulged In at the present time over the question how the German- Americans are going to vote this fall. Four years ago their votes were cast almost solidly for McKlnley, especial ly in the Middle West. They could not be led to give their support to the can didates who were standing on a plat form that represented dishonest mon?y, and that is what thJy believed free silver at the ratio of 18 to I to be. Germac-Amerian Democrats repudiat ed the silver plank of the Chicago platform and voted for Palmer and Buckner or for McKlnley. All over the country they were as a rule stanch in their support of sound money, and in the prvsent campaign there 's ever? reason to believe that they will not waver. The Bryanltes are claiming, however, that in spite of the fact that the 16 to 1 doctrine Is specifically reaffirmed in the Kansas City platform, the teal issue Is to be Imperialism, and on this question the German-Americans will ccrae out solidly Tor Bryan, The Democratic candidate, it is claimed, has strong anti-imperialistic viewa. Is op posed to colonies and down on mllitar ism. His attitude in this respect is just what appeals to the Germans, so the Bryanitts say, and as imperialism is the paramount issue, they will ig nore the silver question and rally to the Democratic standard. The German-Americans are pretty solid, sober-thinking people, and It is not at all likely that they will be mis led by all this hullabaloo over imper-J lalism and the imaginary evils that the Democrats are wont to associate with it. They realize that this talk about choosing now between an American and a European theory of government is all nonsense. They appreciate that the cry that their liberties are being Im periled is humbug pure and simple. They know that a republican form of government is here to stay, and that it will be administered Just as the people frightened by the direful prediction now being made by the Bryan shout- ers. because they are aware that It is all part of a bog Ma campaign cry which the Democrats have taken up as a last resource, in the hope that timid j an,i unthlnk'n8 PPle may be stara peded by it. The twaddle about militarism is also something with which the German Americans are not likely to be deceiv ed. This Is merely an appeal to preju dices brought from the old country, but it is too far-fetched to carry any weight with people as intelligent as the German element in this country Is. Germany today has lift soldiers to every 1,000 people, and as a nation It is poor compared with the United States- we naye 86-100 of a soldier to every l.OuO people, and with a stand ing army of 100,009 men would ha.e only YA for every 1,000 people. More over, all of these soldiers are volun teers. They have enlisted of their on free will, and the service is in no sense compulsory. This system of voluntary service the Bryanites would try to dis tort into something similar to the en forced military demands of the father land; but the German-Americans will not b-i deceived by any misrepresenta tion so absurd. They have had an op portunity to examine into and appre ciate the stability of the American gov ernment, and they are riensible enough to know that maintaining 100,000 sol diers In a natl'm of 7"f000,000 people will never result In burdening the fJnited States with a system of militarism, such as European countries now suiter from. It is all an attempt to mak a paramount Issue out of a mere scare with the idea of drawing attention away from the offensive money plank; but it will prove Ineffectual, and es pecially among the German-Americans. The Issue on the shipping question between Republicans and Democrats, s deflned by their respective platforms this year. Is that the Republicans favor American-built ships for our foreign carrying and the Democrats favor for eign (chiefly British) ships. Mr. Hearst has started a newspaper In Chicago. If there are any Demo cratic ofllelals in that town Interested In Ice trusts It may be well for ,thein to get to cover. Hon. John H. Reagan, made a stir ring expansion speech to the Texas Dem-Krats, but Rub Ratley carried the dry, and the resolutions favor Aguln al'lA ' There are now at the Paris exposi tion five Kansas farmers from one township. This is merely a sample prosi-erlty fa?t. The Ooebelltes are now In possession of all the Kentucky state oltlces. The delivery of the stolen goods has been accomplish ed . The Republican platform doesn't equivocate or dodge. Every Issue Is fairly met and frankly treated. The trouble In China Is all due to des perate agitators. Thoy have their Pet tiitr.'ws in China. u o iiua TIMS SCHEDULED DEPART From loriWmL Aaarrt 1 Chlmf- Salt lake. Denver, Ft.l Portland Worth, Otnal.a. Kan- , !pei-Ul Mi ot.
