It is full of suggestion, and of for the future. Li Hung ¢€ lad to be here, 2n¢ most »y this time knows the Uv ppy to receive him. 1 for his entertainment lete, and it is to be hoped that every hour of his stay may pass to his profit and pleasure. The world is moving. The races inhabit- ing it are getting acquainted with one an- einer. And with this a-yuaintance comes Huag Chang ited States 1s urrangements the inevitable discovery that there is much for the united efforts of men to do. The nation that shuts itself up, like the man who shuts’ himself up, accomplishes little. Duty lies in the other directio1—in getting, and keeping, in touch with all progress, and applying useful discoveries from what- ever sources they may come. % It may be stated without vanity that the United States has much to show Li Hung Chang. There is a great deal in free America capeble of being well applied in even as diferent and as backward a coun- try us China. And even during a very brief stay, so able and experlenced a man as the Premier of China will easily see this. He is going direct from here home, so-that his American experiences and reflections will be fresh in his mind when he again takez up the reins of government. That China must greatly benefit by this extended tour of the man whose voice 1s So potent in her affairs is certain. The rivets of her snackles were started by the collision with Japan; and there is the pros- pect now that at no very distant day those skackles will be altogether rem»ved, and the vest empire opened to a full-fledged civilization. Li Hung Chang is himself a friend of progress, and with such an oppor- tunity of studying at first hand the works of progress, as this tong trip has afforded him, he may reasonably be expacted to ex- tend a cordial hand to those who may come to him working for a new day in China. Strangely enough, however, at the very time that this distinguished representative of China is abroad examining the condi- tions of advanced countries, in the hope of benefiting his own, and bringing it into closer touch with the outside world, some of cur own statesmen are advocating a policy which would take this country out of the procession of great nations, and range It alongside of Isolated China. A tour ef the world, lacluding a visit to China, is what these siatesmen need. > eo ____ Mr. Bryan's Receptions. Cheering crowds at railway stations and at lown meetings are complimentary and comforting to a candidate, but they are poor guides to election returns. Many po- litical leaders have made this discovery. Take. for instance. the race made for gov- ernor by James FE. Campbell in Ohio last year. Mr. Campbell's campaign was an un- usually encouraging one from the stand- point of the popular interest manifested. The people flocked tn large numbers to hear him. He was in fine fettle, aud the demon strations filled him with confidence. Hi friends shared in the feeling, and sent pre- dictions abroad that he would win. They) could find no other explanation of the great interest shown in the candidate and his ar- guments. But Mr. Campbell not only did not win, but was defeated by the largest majority ever thrown against a guberna- torial candidate in that state Mr. Els who was a superb speaker, had a somewhat similar experience in his race for the presidency fn ISS4. His recep- on his railway tours were ovations. + people travelled miles, and camped over nignt. to greet him and hear him speak. The crowds in Inciana, which was a piv- otal state that year. were so large the town halls were utterly incapable of holding them. Mr. Blaine was coniident of success. Exper man that he was, he could make nothing but success out of these ex- traordinary evidences of popular interest m him and his cause. But the ballot-boxes reflected little of this. He was beaten, it is true, by or barly thousand votes in New York, but the promise had been of his ¢lection by a sweeping majority east and west. Mr. Bryan just now is confronting this pgoblem. The crowds flocking to hear him are large and enthusiastic. They cheer him and shake his hand, and the manifes- tations of interest are sending his spirits up. He expresses himseif as greatly sur- prised and gratified at greetings he had ex- pected to receive only in the west. But do these greetings promise votes in Novem- ber? Will each of the cheers that now go up be suppiemented by a ballot on election day? Mr. Bryan stands in danger of being mis- led on this score, just as Mr. Biaine ane Mr. Campbell were misled. The element of mere curiosity must always be taken into account in considering the meaning of a crowd. Mr. Bryan, as the youngest man ever nominated for President, and the only one who ever captured such a prize by a speech. possesses an Interest for strangers which may easily be separated from polit- ical support. —__+ + Looks Like a Good Kea. Perhaps Chief of Police Moore may find it worth his while to give some thought to the change in the patrol system which is being tried by Chicago's chief of police. In the Lakeside city an endeavor is under way to make an equliable distribution of the police force, and Chief Badenoch be- lieves he has solved what has long been an annoying problem. Under the old systera— which is the system here—each patrqaman has a certain area to watch over; signaling his precinct station every hour and leaving quite three-fourths of his beat unprotected all of the time. The Chicago proposition is to have each patrolman walk a straight beat and signal his station every thirty minutes. A municipal magazine describes the improved methods by saying that when Ctlicer Jones, for instance, leaves a corner and starts due west, north, as the case may be, Officer Smith starts epposite direction from a point a vay and travels a parallel beat, one ‘k distant, coming toward Jones. With city divided into squares, each one cross, it is planned to have each portion crossed and recrossed in this man- ner, so that every few minutes an officer will be in si If this scheme is a good thing for Chicago, it would probably be a gcod thing for Washington; it certainly has the ment up vor uth or east, ppearance of being an improve- 2 the method now locally in oe. Li Hung Chang's inquiry as to how so many Americans get to be generals may have been entirely pertinent. Rut he is hardly in a position to grow satirical gon- sidering that hia own title is nothing less than “Ambassador Extraordinary of His Majesty, the Emperor 6f China, Grand Tu- tor of the Helr Apparent, Senior Grand Secretary of the First Class of the Third Orde of Nobility with the Title of Sou-¥i.” A man with as many purely decorative ap- pellations as this ought to regard the pre- tensions of a man who is willing to be called plain “general” as surprisingly mod- est. - Soe If Mr. Whitney finds it necessary to re- quest Mr. Watterson to come home to look after his presidential boom, Eurepean hotel- keepers may be led to file a formal protest ageinst the manner in which American politics is interfering with thelr business. + Americans who openly exult over the al- most invariable success which attends the supply expeditions that set out for Cuba should have some regafd for the feelings of the administration even if they do not love Spain. 6 ee Somebody should warn Li Hung Chang against asking his customary questions about a man’s wealth and how he got it, in case he is ever introduced to a gentleman named Croker. oe The cheapness of campaign documents may yet lead some of our novelists to pro- test against the manier ip which the Eter- ary marke¢ is being undersold. ———_+ +s —____. ‘The numerous “boy-orators” succeeded in totally eclipsing the sweet-girl graduate this eummer. TRE WEEK. - Conventions were held by the gold stand- ard democrats in Iowa, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Rhode Isiand,Missourl,New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinots, Ohio and Virginia, and selected delegates to the In- dianapolis gold democratic convention. The Republican National League convention met in Milwaukee; Gen. McAlpin, president of the league, made an address; D. D. Woodmansee of Ohto was elected president of the league. Mr. Bryan was Senator Hill's guest at Albany, and traversed the state making a number of addresses. Governor McKinley sent in his letter of acceptance of the nomiratton for President by the re- publican convention. Frank & Black of Troy was nominated by the republican state convention for governor of New York. George A. Groot, chairman of the silver Party's notificaiton committee, said that the committee would formally notify Mr. Bryan and Mr. Sewall on September & It was also announced that the populists would formal- ly notify Bryan and Watson of their Roimination by that party. Ex-Presi- dent Harrison made a speech in Carnegie Hall, New York, to 5,000 People; Mr. De- pew also spoke. Blair Lee of Montgomery county, Md., was nominated for Congress by the democrats of the sixth district in cenvention at Oakland. The town of On- tonagon, Mich., was destroyed by fire many families lost their homes and were sreatly distressed. The cruiser Brooklyn, en her official trial trip, averaged 21.02 knots an hour during a’ forced draught run of four hours, thus earning a bon of $350,060 for her butiders. Li Hung Chang, Special ambassador from China, arrived i New York and was formal eived by representatives of this government. Foreign, The Sultan of Zanzibar, Hamed Bin The- rain Bin Said, died at the age of forty yeurs; Said Khalid took possession of the Palace and proclaimed himself sultan; Said Khalid, having refused to surrender to the British authorities, three British gunboats opened fire upon the palace; he and the members of his official family took refuge in the German consulate.
