Euro pean governments frankly acknowledge our diplomatic trilumphs; our position as an industrial and commercial nation is in the front rank; our wing financial power is everywhere recognized; the credit of our government is unequalled, What better evidence of our interna tional standing and influencé than the fact that the United States has practie- ally dictated thus far the policy in re- ard to Ching and that today the pean powers are more interested in the attitude of this nation regarding the fu ture of that empire than in that of any other, The good name and honorable charac- ter of the American people are at the highest point and even the “anti-imper- fulists” are incapable of tarnishing them, although they are earnestly endeavoring to do so. INDEPENDENT'S" VIEW. at the convention SETTLING WITH CHINA When the legations in Pekin have been rescued there will arise the question of indembity and after that is disposed of the graver problem of the permanent status of China and of the character of her future relations with the civilized | world will come up for settlement. A Washington dispatch quotes an un named Washington official saying that this government will demand in demnity for every American killed or maimed by the Chinese in the present trouble suflicient to support their fawmi lies for the remainder of their This ofticial said the United States does not want a square foot of Chinese terri tory, but besides demanding a pecuniavy indemnity will exact assurances of a sat isfuctory character that such a state of affairs as now exists in China shall not again occur, 1f the other governments demand in nnity similar to that which it is sald the United States will ask an enormous burden will be imposed upon China and the question s, Where will she obtain | the money to weet it? The revenues of the empire are not in excess of the ex penditures, its credit is low and any con ‘hhlt'hlllll' increase in the taxation of its people might further trouble. What if China should be unable to mee a4 monetary indemnity amounting nually to many millions, would the pow ers not be likely to demand territory in | settlement? 1t not to be doubted | that them would do we | | do not believe the United States would be & party to such u demand, or would give it any counten support, but Russia, Germany and France would not hesitate to ask the cession of territory in settlement of their indemnity claims it China should default in paying what | | might be agreed upo And if such a | demand were made the United States | could offer no valid objection it While it is clearly to the intevest of this country that the territorial integrity of | Ching shall be p we would have no right to interfere with another | nation's efforts to secure its just cl; by whatsoever method it should deem to be necessary. 1t appears to be rec- ognized at Washington that the collec tion of indemnity may prove difficult and it is suggested that we may have to statlon war ships and ofticiy at the principal ports to wateh the revenues and protect the interests of the United Stutes by taking charge of such revenues and reserving come portion of thew to apply to the indemnity This would be a legitimate proceeding, for which there are numerous precedents, and if another power should be willing to aceept ter vitory in licu of woney that would be no less legitimate.

This ralses the question without side issues, Are these annual conventions of national trades unions, associations and societies worth the mouney? Judged sim ply from the enormous increase of the | numby such gatherings in recent | years and the unprecedented attendance | at many of them, the first conclusion would be that the people interested ave satistied with the r otherwise they wonld not devote their time and re sources to their encourngement Aside from the sharp competition be tween various cities for the privilege of | entertaining the national conventions of | various kinds, the broadening influence | of the interchange of opinions and the | more intimate assoclation of representa tives from all sections of the country not to be underestimated. While | as a rule little is accomplished further | than to clarify views upon subjects of mutual concern and settle questions affecting particularly the organization involved, the educational effect is plainly visible through the dissemination of en lightened opinions throughout the coun- | try on the return of the delegates or members to their respective homes. Whether these results ave worth the | money must, however, depend entirely upon the particular organization. The | annual conventions of the Typographical union may perhaps not produce results | corresponding to the expense, whereas | the national conventions of teachers or of the Christian Endeavorers may be the saving clause in tbe usefulness of those organizations, Each will have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages fc itself and strike the balunce on its ledger. If this balance is in red ink it may be advisable to discontinue the na- tional convention or to hold it less fre quently. But if the figures are in the other column, the practice of annual national conventions will be continued and stimulated. The suggestion from the typograph fcal union president is sure to set the officers of other societics and associa tions to thinking. The protest to keep the middle-of-the- road populist candidates off the official ballot, originally based on the alleged confusion produced by the use of the designation “populist,” is to be turned around so as to rest on representations that the Grand Island convention was not in strict conformity with the re quirements of the law. This is doubt less to remove the embarrassment which fusion officials would suffer in according a place on the ticket to silver repub- licans while refusing it to the mid roaders. The mid-roaders can expect no favors from the present state house crowd and any old excuse will do to give them the worst of it. In spite of the reports to the contrary, it appears that a perfect understanding is maintained between the different com manders advancing on Pekin and the troops of each nationality in turn take up the post of danger in the advance The evidences of harmony among the allies and the evident demoralization of the Chinese justify hope that the im prisoned foreigners in the Pekin lega tions will shortly be rescued, even if that has not alveady been accomplished In four and a half months from ¢ the people of the state ho to ascertain where the idl is deposited by the state treasurer, 1f the $200,000 could be invested for the 1 Lenetit of the school fund it would adid | materially to th pportionment. | But then some favor nks might not | make s0 good a graft. t to be able school money Webster Davis has opened the paign in West Vieginla, devoting most | of his attention to u defense of his own | motives in changiug front ou political tssues.

The condition of things in Cuba cannot be so very bad when immigrants from Spain flock to the island at the rate at which they are said to be going now. is reported that no less than 20,000 Span- fards have removed to Cuba since the island passed out of Spanish control and as the people of the humbler classes in Spain are notoriously poor, it is probable that this number would be increased many fold if the hand. This is a demonstration that tells more than volumes of argument whether or not Cuba has benefited by release from Spanish rule. . Some Good Minnea Not all the good Indians are dead In- dians.
