Most of these nations have put Christianity fore- most among the reasans in which they urge their right to piece and partition China for their own benefit. The United States alone has maintained an attitude of dignity and justice, and President McKinley has stood inflexibly for equity in the settlement of the afflicting issues that have grown out of the Boxer revolt. The Chinese trouble is strictly of missionary origin. By this we mean that the presence of Christian mis sionaries in the Middle Kingdom has caused the out- break. The reason of this is that the introduction of | Christianity at all to the masses of China requires the destruction of the Confucian system of ancestor wor- ship, upon which the entire civil polity of that Govern- ment is founded. It will be seen that Christianity, un- | like Buddhism and Mahometanism, of necessity sfands for the overthrow of the political, state and civil insti- tutions of China. Neither Buddhism nor Mahomet- anism makes such an attack. The essence of those | two systems does not antagonize ancestor worship nor any othér teaching of the Confucian philosophy. | Each has been found capable of harmonizing with that philosophy, and for this reason their introduction into China has not been opposed and has produced no commotion. They do not fight each other. Each ad- mits the merits of the other, and they have spread ex- tensively throughout the empire. But, when this statement of fact is made, it is an- swered by the treaty made with China in 1860, after the soldiers of France and England had looted Peking | and burned the summer palace. That treaty specific- ally permits French missionaries to buy or rent mis- i sionary compounds in the Middle Kingdom, and to | introduce Christianity there, and, under the “favored | nation clause,” this right has been claimed and en- | joyed by all the missionaries of the Western nations. | | Pleading this treaty puts China in the wrong. It { makes it appear that that empire deliberately con- ! sented to missionary privileges and Christian propa- ganda in the Middle Kingdom, and, having consented, | must abide by all the consequences. This view is held | by American missionaries generally. It was behind [ the recent savage expression of one of them who | | attacked President McKinley for his policy of equity, and declared that American missionaries indorsed the | highly bloody declarations of the Emperor of Ger- | many and preferred his policy to that of the President | of this republic. But against this view may well be urged not only | the circumstances of duress under which the treaty | | of 1860 was forced upon China; but certain known facts as to the treaty itself. It is published, and not | denied, that the Middle Kingdom missionary clause | of that treaty was not in the original instrument as agreed upon by China and submitted for ratification. | That clause is a forgery, interpolated by a French lmnsqonar) who was employed to cross-translate the | document. China supposed that the original instru- | ment, void of such clause, was being ratified, but after ratification discovered the forgery when it was { too late for rectification. No denial of this charge has been made. The fact of the forgery is within the knowledge of Europeans as well as of Chinese. tered and diplomatic classes in China. It was discov- ered when Western missionaries began to push into | the Middle Kingdom with the cross in one hand and | a forgery in the other. | Looked at from the standpoint of Western morality | and ethics, it is at once apparent that this forgery nullified all the proiessions of Christianity and made it, to intelligent men, a false pretense -and a fraud. Forgery is a crime. It is under the moral condemna- | tion of all systems of religion and philosophy. If this épecial instance of the offense had been miade to cloak | only commercial pretensions and enterprise, the teach- ers of Christianity would have been the first to de- nounce it. If it is known now to them and they not only stand silent but push the advantage which it | gives them, how can they escape the same condem- | nation which would be due to the merchant and trader under the same circumstances? In the light of this revelation the diplomacy of | | President McKinley and the attitude of this Govern- ment are to the highest degree commendable. They 'dc<er\e the instant indorsement of all who call them- ! selves Christians. The religion of Calvary cannot b | propagated by the sword, as too m‘any of its mistaken | | professors contend, and surely it cannot avail itseii | of any advantage that may come either from a treaty made under duress or from one that has heen sophis- ticated by forgery. R The people of the Mission are complaining that the ! | Board of Public Works is hopelessly bound in offi- | cial red tape. And the Board of Public Works, in its ‘actions, replies that it is supremely unconcerned in what the people of the Mission think. This is one | of the amenities of Phelanism. sional District concerning the prosgec!s of | | | | THE FIGHT IN THE SECOND, OOD reports come from the Second Congres- | G the campaign. The district has been a doubt- ful one in the past, and the Republicans recognized | that fact when selecting a candidate to make the con- test. In nominating Semuel D. Woods they chose a man whose personal strength and popularity have been | material factors in the contest. The-people know his 1 ability, his fidelity and his earnest patriotism. They ! are aware he will be in the fullest, sense of the word a “representative” of all their local intetests and of their sentiments concerning great national issues. | Conseqitently he will receive not only the Republican | but the independent vote, and all demanstrations of | the campaign give promise of his election by an over- whelming majority. The election of Mr. Woods will be a benefit not | to his district only but to the whole State. Califor- nia needs such men ¢o represent her in Congress and uphold her interests there. Even more than in for-, | | mer years does she nced such men now. The opens | | ing of the great markets of the Orient will afford to | California a thoufand opportunities to develop her industries and expand her cdmmerce. To fully profit i by those grand opportunities, however, there will be | required the aid of governmental direction and super- vision.

D of Dibble’s career in tl3e Legislature, Town Talk makes the strange assertion: .“That seems to be hardly a sufficiant reason upon which to request the defgat of a person secking to represent that district in the 'Legislature.” It argues: “If Henry C. Dibble is no worse than the people whose support he seeks, it should appear to be useless to ask them to repudiate him.” "Had the statement of Town Talk ended there it would have been no more than a mere bit of irony. The “if” would have saved the remark from condem- nation. The article gues on, however, to declare with some positiveness that the district merits no better representative than that crooked politician. It says: “Mr. Dibble is well known to the ‘people of the Forty-first District. He has represented them more than once. They have elected him and re-elected him. They know him to be a professional politician with a reputation for a long reach. It must be generally understood by them that he does not go to the Legis- lature in the interests of the people. There is not an act in his whole political career which savors of a burning desire to safeguard the interests of the public. On the contrary, his record is one of scandal, andghe has excited the admiration of the blacklegs of politics by his audacity in the teeth of exposure, and his ability to earn enough in three months to keep him for two vears. Yet he appears to enjoy the confidence of the voters of the Forty-first District. If he were not their ideal representative they would not repeatedly send him to the Legislature. The presumption must be that the Forty-first is a district of Dibbles, and that Henry C. is a man after their own heart.” A statement of that kind is utterly uncalled for. The residents and voters of the Forty-first Assembly Dis- trict are among the foremost in San Francisco. They represent the business, the culture and the morality of the better clements of San Francisco life. The one AN UNDESERVED SLUR.

L THE THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION. P RESIDENT McKINLEY’'S proclamation of our annual Thanksgiving day comes at an op- portune time. While the people are arraying | themselves for the election on Tuesday, and while party passions are running high, it is well to have thy thoughts of all recalled to the great festival peculiar to this country and <hared-in by all classes, by which we commemorate the blessings that the year has brought forth. We can approach the festival this year with even more than usual thankfulness, for our prosperity as a nation and as individuals has been more abundant than ever before. - As the President has said in his | proclamation: “Labor and the industries of the peo- ple have prospered beyond all precedent. Our com- | merce has spread over the world. Our power and in- fluence in the cause of freedom and enlightenment have extended over the distant seas and lands. The lives of our official representatives and many of our people in China have been marvelously preserved. | We have been generally exempt from pestilence and other great calamities, and even the tragic visitation which overwhelmed the city of Galveston made evi- dent fhe sentiments of sympathy ‘and Christian charity by virtue of which we are one united people.” ~ In the heats of the closing week of the campaign some of the followers of the opponents of the ad- ministration may be inclined to disputg the justness of the statements concerning our prosperity, but when | once the ballots have been cast and the excitement of party strife is over all will recognize _their truth. Then we shall unite in supporting whoever: has been elected by the people and begin making preparations or the great festival, so that when the day pf Thanks giving comes one and all will follow the recommenda- tions of the President, who, after proclaiming that we observe it “as a day.of thanksgiv- (ing and praise to him who haglds the nations in the hollow of his hand,” says: “I recommend that they gather in their several places of worship and de- { voutly give him thanks for the prosperity wherewith he has endowed us, for seedtime and for the harvest, for the valor, devotion and humanity of our armies and navies, and for all his benefits to us as individuals and as a nation, and that they humbly pray for the ne favor, for concord and amity with other nations and for righteousness and peace in ‘ll our ways.” S ——— 5 The Oakland swain, who mourns that he has been than he, may live long enough to know tha ! love is one of those commodities which money can’ buy. % PR A Hot air has at last been given a definite commemd value in current market reports.

MARTIN of San Jose, | a lifelong Democrat, has come out flatfooted for McKinley and Roose- velt and not only will he vote for the Republican standard-bearers, but he is exercising his influence to secure votes for.them. Mr. Martin is one of the oSt prominent men in the city: and has large property interests. Three times he has been elected Mayor of the city. He gives his reasons for his cnange of politi- cal faith in the following statement: Editor San Francisco Call: Jryanism is disrupting the Democraticparty and the buncombe of the Nebraskan is driving thousands of good Democrats into the Republican party. The tendercies of the Democratic party under the influences now controlling it are such that, although a lifelong Democrat and one who has stood stanchly by its platforms in the past, I am compelled to oppos it in the coming election and so long as it may be dominated by the forces that now make it untrue to genuine Democracy. I sup- ported Mr. Bryan in 18% as a loyal par- tisan, belleving him to be a sincere man and a genuine reformer, though somewhat overzealous and possibly to extent dan- gercus. Since then his course has con- vinced me that he i{s more of a dema- gogue-than a reformer and is bent solely upon his own ambitions. His picking up of the issues of imperialism and militar- ism, after himself having urged the con. firmation of the Spamsh treaty, and hay- ing been in the army and thus knowing from personal experience how absurd his talk of militarism must be, is enough to prove his insincerity, even if he had not put aside the money issue, which he declared in 1896 would be forever the burning question until it was settled right. Expansion has been Democratic doctrine ever since the days of Jefferson, who gave us the greatest expansfon we ever had. During the first eentury of the nation's existence scarcely a Democratic Presi- dent held office who did not in some way emphasize the doctrine of expapsion and made it a national policy. It is folly for the Democrats to fight it now on pretend- ed differences of conditions. Our acquisition of new territory, or ex- pansion, has been under somewhat differ- ent conditions each time, yet the general principle has remained the same and s the same to-day. All our new territories have had undesirable popumtions, whicin SAN JOSE'S DEMOCRATIC MAYOR JOINS PARTY OF PROSPERITY —_— Dissatisfied Wit.h Bryan and His Buncombe, and Now Working for Republican Votes. we did not admit to citizenship and which we governed without their con- I am satisfled that our new terri- tories will be given the benefit of o constitution; that such of their population as is fitted for citizenship will receive it, and that when the territories shall be- come . fitted for statehood they vvulri taken into the Union. Other Territories of purs have become States under just such conditions and some of them have been in thiat condition for half a céntury and still remain so. I do not believe the American people have changed the spirit and genius of their institutiops nor that they will do so. Militarism Is a special plece of bun- combe that bears the stamp of Mr. Bry- an. He knows better and that there is no .danger whatever of the liberties of Amer- icans being subverted by such of their fellow-citizens as shall voluntarily enter the army from a patriotic desire to serve their country. Its bosh of the worst sort. The Demoeratic party has always believed in an army to uphold the honor and authority of the country. I am not going’ to. desert such good Démocratic grognd to follow Mr. Bryan. As a citizen of the State of California T State, I cannot help also feeling an In- terest in the industry upon which the prosperity of the entire Santa Clara Val- ley depends. The growing trans-Pacific commerce is something we should foster and not seek to repress. T see In Mr. Bryan's election and the declarations of the Kansas City platform a direct men- ace to the fruit,industry of California and 1 am satisfied # majority of the fruit growers of the State take the same view of it. While T look npon these more local In- terests merely as a local citizen of my State I base my chief objfction to the candidate of the Democratic party and to persons now temporariiy shaping the poli- cles of that party on ihe broader ground that they have departed from trife Dem- ocratic policles and I find those policies for the present, at least, befter represent- ed by the Republican than the Democratt- fc party. It is with regret I break ' off a party connection of many years in order to remain true to the principles I have always held. C. T. MARTIN.

By the terms of the amendment, the Legislature is not in any way permitted to exempt any real property from county or local taxation outside of the county of Santa Clara, where. the university buildings are situated; and in Santa Clara County the university would be content if the university bulldings alone were exempted.

EW YORK HERALD—It is a most ep- po’l{tune moment for the Uxmad States to open a way out of the ity that should be acceptable to all lhn ers ement This way is arbitration in acco ce with thpyprlnclple- and procedure of The Hague Conference. ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT-In 1900 every patriotic American should use all his endeavers to put the majority in the Electoral College so far above the 100 mark that no party in the United States will ever again dare to insult and dis- credit the American people by nominating a candidate pledg@d toa pollcv of national disaster and dishono: CHICAGO TRIBUNE—While the Dem- ocratic party is momentarily insane the majority of the voters are not. They have defeated once the crank candidate of a political organization and they intend do- ing so again. ‘The.American people have not always put their ablest men in the Presidential chair, but they never have put a crank there and never will, WASHINGTON STAR—It has been sald that hazing tended to develop he manli- ness of a boy, by shaming him of pecu- larfties. This plea has never been ac- cepted by the anonen!s of the practice, who have urged, witi: reason, that the strongest appeal hazing could make to a boy was to his spirit of vengeance and class superiority. It is a custom the passing of which will evoke but few re- grets. BOSTON GLOBE—The wii of the Queen, which disposes of her vast for- tune, has already been made, but its con- tents will never be published to the peo- ple. It is a “state secret.”” Accomding to English law, the wills of royalty do not have to be probated. After the death of Queen Victoria her will will be read in secret to the membaers of the royal fam- ily, and her subjects will never be al- lowed to know how she disposed of her estate. UTICA PRESS—Foreign born citizens of lsthe United States shouid not suffer them- selves to be iike a flock of sheep and jump over this fence or that one because some leader does. Maintaining and encourag- ing race feeling here ought uot to be Sulgnd in under any circumstances. Tta influence is bound to be pernicious and harmful. The elective franchise Is an American privilege and an American duty and has no connection, direct or remote, with former residence in any other coun- try. ‘W YORK TRJBUNE—Mr. Bryan's abilfty as a maker of epigrams was never more perfectly displayed than when in ening his fourth speech om Tuesday oleht he exprossed his thanks for the tronage which Mr. Croker had given him with the phrase, “Great {s Tammany, and Croker is its prophet!” Great, indeed, is Tammany, and greater yet will it become If M Bryan is eiected President. He bas a ready placed upon it the stamp of his approval and accepted its prophet as his guide, philosopher and friend. BALTIMORE AMERICAN—The men who gathered about Bryan are the ring- leaders and henchmen of the most shame- less boss systefn extant—men with whom the decent element in New York's citi- zenship refuses to affiliate. and of whom that same element Las been trying " the city. The Democracy of New i_ upon which Bryan depends to gain uuccesl for his ambitions, is a disgrace to the country, but more so to the ocratic party, and Mr. Bryan's recogni- tion of that parcel of poiitical yascals re- moves the Democracy of to-day as far from that of former days as is the begia- ning of time from its end.
