The relation of the United States
to the responsible government of
China is, in sonu respects, different
from that of any other nation. At
the present horrible crisis all is eon
fusion ami ehaos. In the future a
lasting settlement is to be made. It
will be full of difficulties, but America
holds a place of vantage. The follow
ing paragraphs explain, in part, why
this is so why the high otlieials of
China understand better than they
do any nation of Europe. When the
first Chinese legation to the I'tuted
States settled in Washington it was
accompanied by a very intelligent and
cultivated attache, by name Tsai S.h
Yung. He came of an ancient Chi
nese family, one if whose members
had been prime minister of the em
pire a very unusual post for a pure
Chinese to hold under a Mnnehu Tar
tar dynasty. He was a graduate of
Dr. Martin's college at Peking and
had also taken his bachelor's degree
in the Chinese examinations. " During
his residence in Washington he formed
a close friendship with Dr. Edward
S. Holden. then one of the astrono
mers of the I'liited States naval ob
Fervatory. In one of their conversa
tions Tsai was asked the object of
the coming of his legation. "Why,
it is to make a treaty with your
country.'

"Audjjhow js a treaty
'It is a written agreement
between
vour president and our em
peror." "Nothing more'.'" "Xo. noth
ing more than this." It transpired
that Tsai, and his minister as well,
was totally ignorant of the treaty
making function-, of the senate: and
they were thrown into consternation
when they heard the tory of the re

W.IL UOOKEK t CO., rroprtetort, Sew York.
I' at lllkeley' Pharmacy,
llelievue, Ohio, i
grocer. I am
i-r ran i
New York Min, grew a project to
translate the constitution of the
Tnited States into the Chinese lati
truage. l'or many mouths the China
man and the American met daily.
Each provision of the constitution
was carefully explained and ilisi.ssc!
and then written down, with a com
mentary; on a subsequent day the
Chinese translation was rendered
back into English and again discussed
until all was clear. Doubtful points
were referred to Frederick W. Whit
ridge, Eq.. of the N.- York bar
in writing, or, occasionally to Mr. Jus
tice Hradlry. of the supreme court
Finally the document was completely
and satisfactorily translated with a
marginal commentary and sent as an
official dispatch to the tsnng-li-yainen
in Peking. A copy of it was deposited
by President Holden in the library
of the t'niversity of California, win i
it now is. On Tsai's part it had been
a labor of'love and on his return to
China it won for him official ad
vancement in rank and place. His
American coadjutor was glad to give
a portion of his time every day for
nearly a year to this public service
which has resulted in making the
high officials in Peking understand
the I'nited States of America as they
understand no other country. They
are themselves a literal" people and
are used to relying on the written
word. They know the organization
of (Sreat Hritain or of Germany in a
very different way from that of our
own country, and we are, according
ly, trusted as no other country is.
Our opportunities at the present
crisis are unique. Every European
government is distrusted by all the
high otlieials at Peking by those
friendly to foreign inventions as well
as by those who hate and despise the
foreigner and nil his works. When
th" time c'imes to adjust a final and
lasting settlement for the future it is
in the iower of As :erica to take a
high stand. The ('.institution of our
gi:eriimeut is understood. It is
known that we desire no territorial
acquisitions. We desire and we mean
to have the freest opjior: unities for
trade, and above all things ilie fullest
protection for our citizens in foreign
parts. It may be neeessar for our
troops to join with those of Europe
aud Japan in a punitive xtieditinn.
it may even be necessary to nr.:e the
walls of Peking to the ground, to
plow the site and sow it with salt, as
tin- Tartar Chief Jenhiz Khan was
used to do with the rebellion" cities
of liokhara and Turkistau. All this
will be understood as a deserved pun
ishment for acts which even the Chi
nese cannot defend. Put in the Una!
adjustment of relations America nun
hold a unique place: ami this posi
tion of moral vantage should be safe
guarded in all our acts.

Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to live long, because they
cannot eat the food required to nourish
the body and the products of the undi
gested foods they do eat poison the
blood. It is important to cure indiges
tion as soon as possible, and the best
method of doing this is to use the prepa
ration known as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
It digests what you eat and restores all
the digestive organs to perfect health.
