2 Salic Cfrntitttf (Bxatnittev LAKEYIEtY. OKEGO. SEPT. 6, ItOt McKInley's Policy Approved. The nation may well feel proud of President McKinley'a action in the recent appalling crisis that threatened berious complications in China. There is no yell of "imperialism" from the yellow press anent the policy of the Administration in the Chinese situa tion, and the President's announce ment that the American Government will oppose to the last the partition of China until every resource of diplo macy is exhausted has commanded not only the admiration of the other nations, but that of our own people at home. This American policy differs radically from that pursued by the European governments. The Wash ton Post says: "Our diplomatic efforts to avert an appalling tragedy, unparalleled in the world's history, have been conducted with tactful skill, patient forbearance and lofty methods that have chal lenged the admiration of Christendom. Dealing directly and frankly with the Chinese authorities, through Minister Wu and our consuls in the Orient; keeping cool and clear heads under the most trying circumstances; un moved by the outcries of the hysteri cal press, President McKinley and Secretary Hay have made a record in this unhappy affair of which the na tion may well feel proud. The v Udom of each succeeding step taken by the State. Department has been speedily established. All Europe has had its first pews from Washington, from time to time, of development in the im portant diplomatic negotiatations pre liminary to the rescue. "Senator Thurston, who is in Wash ington, said: 4 1 am filled with ad miration, as every American must be, with the attitude of the Administra tion in the handling of this momentu ou9 question. It has been splendid. We have literally set the pace for the powers. The President's foreign policy has been admirable. True .to our original purpose, we have pushed on to Pekin and rescued our Minister, and have been perfectly fair to the Chinese, without a thought of enter ing into a war of conquest or of re venge per year, and the publication should find a hearty welcome in every home ic the three great states of the North west. "The Examiner" and "The Inland Empire" will be clubbed to any subscriber at three dollars per year, the two papers. Colonel Bryan lias received another "notification." The people of the United States will give him final notification on or about November 6, 1900, to the effect that he can close up his political busi ness, go home to Lincoln and live quietly ever afterward. Under Cleveland and free trade we were borrowing money and going deeply into debt. Under McKinley and Protection we are loaning money to England, and she is going deeper into debt, while we are paying ofT out-debt. Li Hung Chang is a prisoner on board a ship and will be held until the opening of negotiations between the Allied Powers and China. When Li Hung is released he should be beheaded and told fo no and sin no more. "The Inland Empire."

Its initial number, received at this office, is emblazoned with a beautiful frontis piece, and is filled with highly inter esting matter. "The Inland Empire" encroaches on no journalistic enter prise in the Northwest; its field is particularly its own the development of Northwest resources assisting new enterprises and the encouragement of immigration.
