AMERICA IN CHINA.
The attitude of the United
States in the Chinese crisis is at
tracting the attention of the
world. One of the London
papers, for example, says the
Globe-Democrat, has an article
entitled "President McKinley's
Opportunity," in which it says
that this country can act with
more moral effect in China than
can any of the great nations of
Europe. It remarks that Eng
land's movements are regarded
with so much suspicion by Rus
sia that serious complications
might arise if a force of British
troops should be landed near
Pekin. The same is true of
Russia, it says, "but the United
States has traditions of friend
ship with Russia, and a commu
nity of interests with England.
Its action, therefore, would not
encounter the hostility of either
Dower." This is a chance, it
remarks, for the United States to
preserve the open door which
Secretary Hay has obtained, and
adds: "America's opportunity
has come. Will she be equal to
it or will she let it slip from her
hands and lose her vast poten
tialities of trade in Northern
China."
All this is true of course.
America can take the initiative
in China with more eflect than
any other nation. It is known
to the world that this country
asks no territory in Asia. It
wants no sphere.Jof influence in
China, or any other part of that
continent. America's action in
China would arouse no jealousy
among any of the nations which
wn or seek territory in that
quarter. Moreover, the United
States is oniterms of friendship
with all other countries. The
'traditions of friendship with
Russia" which the British jour
nal mentions are as powerful to
day as thev ever were. The
country has traditions of friend
ship with Germany, France
Italy and all the rest of the coun
tries interested in Chinese affairs
also, for the cordiality which has
existed between the United
States and England for the past
two or three years has pretty
well extirpated all remembrance
of the earlier hostility between
the two countries. So far as re
crards the attitude of the rest of
the great nations towards the
United States, there is an era of
good feeling for this conntry al
over the world.
Yet the action of the United
States in China will be entirely
independent of that of all the
other nations to the extent that
there will be no formal compact
between this and any other coun
try. The purpose of the admin
istration at Washington on this
point has been made tolerably
plain in the past eight or ten
days. At the end of The Hague
conference of 1899 the American
delegates, in signing the agree
ment, made the declaration that
"nothing contained in this con
vention shall be so construed as
to require the United States of
America to depart from its tra
ditional policy ot not entering
upon, interfering with or en
tangling itself in the political
questions or internal administra
tion of any foreign state. " This
disclaimer on the part of the
United States will apply to China
as well as to Europe, for United
States intervention, in the shape
which it may take, will be for
the purpose of giving the protec
tion to its citizens which the
Chinese government virtually
confesses its inability to afford
The United States will enter
into no entangling alliances with
anv European nation or nations
on the Chinese or any other
question. It declined England's
invitation for a ioint action in
1823 against the holy alliance,
and, ih the Monroe warning to
that coalition which was issued
in that year, established a policy
of independent action which will
be followed in the Chinese crisis
The republican national con
vention closed its three days'
session at Philadelphia yesterday
McKinley was undoubtedly nom
inated by acclamation, and
Roosefelt by the same process
for vice-president. Iyeft to the
direct vote of the country these
two grand men would be almost
the unanimous choice of the re
publican party for these high of
fices. Notwithstanding the
bickering and harping against
the president by prominent men
even in his own party, they all
realize that no man in any party
today could have performed the
task which he has performed so
wisely and well. The charge
that McKinley is weak is given
the lie by the character of the
attacks upon him. Weakness
excites pity or contempt, and
there has been none of either
.sentiment displayed in the as
saults upon the president.
School Picnics.
The school and Artisan picnic at !
Calloway's grove last Saturday was
a grand success. A large and en
thusiastic crowd was present to en
courage the pupils in their efforts.
Excellent music was furnished by
the Du3ty band. Mr. Edward
Wiles made a splendid address of
welcome, which was followed by an
address by Supt. Denman. The
literary program was given in the
afternoon which consisted of reci
tations, drills, concart recitations,
andJJ songs. The orange eating arid
nail driving contests created con
siderable sport for all. The rain
which had been threatening for
several days held off so that excel
lent weather was had.
There will be a grand union pic
nic at Wilhelm's grove, which is
just, across the bridge from Monroe
on Junezrf. Mr. ri. lieiKnap
will make the address of the day.
The Bellfountain band will be on
hand to fill the air with music. An
excallent literary program has been
prepared by the schools included in
the picnic.
The last school picnic of the sea
son will be held in Blodgett on
Saturday, June 30, which will in
clude all of the schools in the .west
ern part of the county.
"tn the contest of attendance be
tween the schools of the county for
the mont ending June 10, districts
No. 27 and 85 tied with an attend
ance of 100 per cent. The banner
will therefore be held two weeks by
each school. The next five schools
having the highest attendance were:
No 77, 99 per cent.; No 12, 98.5;
No 5, 98.5; No 24, 93 and No. 7, 93.
George Cronkite Hurt.
The following item from Tues
day's Telegram will arouse sym
pathy in the hearts of all Corval
lisites: "George H. Cronkite, a carpenter
employed by Messrs. Morgenson &
Chandler, on the erection ot John L.
Duthie'i residence at East Seven
teenth and Belmont streets, fell
from a scaffold to the ground Fri
day afternoon at 3 o'clock, and sus
tained a painful gash on the left
side of his head, and his back and
shoulders were badly rent and
bruised.
"ihe injured man wa removed
to his home, where proper medical
assistance was procured, and the
latest reports were that the unfor
tunate mechanic was resting easier
The scaffolding upon which he was
working fell to the erouud, a dis
tance of 25 feet, carrying Mr. Cron
kite with it. He fell headlong
striking on a pile of lumber, and to
his remarkable presence of mind in
holding his arms above his head
may be attributed his marvelous
escape from more serious results
Mr. Cronkite is an ex-member of
Company F, Second Volunteers,
nd is favorably known about the
city. His injuries will necessitate
him being on the sick report for
several weeks."
George attended the O A C for a
number of years and was One of the
students who won glory for himself
and that institution in the Philip
pines.
