In his notltlcatlon speceh l'resldent MeKlnley i-oiigrntiituUtl the people on the Increased resin-it with which the American name Is greeted throughout the world. This respect has grown since the I'nlted States dellned Its position 111 roguril to China. At tlrst tliere was dimbt in Europe as to the wisdom of the course taken by this government In regard to Chinese affairs, European Journals even ridiculing It. Now lead ing (lernian newspapers are praising tiie position taken by this government, one of them remarking that If the move ment upon I'ekin has now really be gun America undoubtedly deserves great credit and commending the action of the administration in refusing the propo sition of 1.1 Hung Chang that If the ad vance on l'ekln was abandoned the ministers would be sent by the Imperial authorities In safety to Tien Tsln. An other lierlln paper observes that "It would be a brilliant coup If President .MeKlniey's administration could come forward as the preserver of the world's pence" a result the administration has shown an earnest desire to attain and may achieve. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says that the most Important fact In the messages from the ministers Is the great triumph of Amer ican diplomacy, which saved the lives r the ministers nnd other foreigners In the Chinese capital and turned the de of Imperial hostility tlrst to passive nd Anally to active protection. It was he attitude of Hie American adminis tration, says the correspondent, that de terred the powers from declaring war u China, which must have resulted In the relentless massacre of the refugees in the legations at the time when riot ing was In progress, but when It could not be definitely ascertained that any thing could be gained by declaring war, while serious future complications might certainly be avoided. It was the policy which this government declared In a note to all the powers on .Inly :i which united the southern viceroys in lel'ense of foreign Interests. That eclaratlon detined the Intention of the 'nlted States as "seeking a solution which may bring about permanent al'ety and peace to China, preserve 'hlnese territory and administrative en- Ity, protect all rights guaranteed to friendly powers by treaty and Interna tional law, and safeguard for the world the principle of equal nnd Impartial trade with all parts of the Chinese em pire." What has subsequently taken place has demonstrated the wisdom and clear Judgment of the administration. Every step taken has been marked by a Ju dicious perception of the mpilrcmeuts of the situation. In this respect the American Department of State has been far In advance of any of the for- Ign otlices of Europe, most of which have seemed to be utterly Incapable of dealing with the situation. Today the inlluence of the United States In China Is Immeasurably stronger than that of any other power and if n Chinese war Is averted tho credit will belong almost wholly to this country. The Impression that has been made upon the nations of tho world by Amer ican diplomacy under the present ad ministration tho prestige this country has attained abroad during tho last three years appeals to tho pride of every American. Hespcet for tho re public among foreign nations was uovcr so strong as it is at this time and the American name never stood higher throughout the civilized world. DlSFHAXClllSKilHXT W1XS. The North Carolina election resulted In the adoption, by a large majority, of the amendment to tho state constltu tion disfranchising a large proportion of the negroes. This was brought about by systematic Intimidation on the pnrt of the supporters of tho amendment which kept most of the colored citizens from the polls and also many white voters who were opposed to the amend mont. This was carried on throughout tho campaign. Tho lives of men who publicly opposed tho amendment wore threatened, oven so prominent a citizen as United States Senator Hutler not being permitted to speak In some places. It was reported that armed bauds of 1,000 or 2,000 men, accompa nlotl with cannon nnd machine guns, paraded about? the enstern part of the state, where the colored population Is largest, preventing meetings by the op position to the nmeiidment, stilling all discussion and threatening death to all who should dure to vote against the amendment. It Is therefore not sur prising that the democrats won every thing that the triumph of terrorism and intimidation was complete. There has been no concealment as to the purpose of tho constitutional amend mont. Its object, said tho chairman of the democratic state committee, Is to eliminate from tho suffrage the Illiterate negro vote without disfranchising the uneducated white voters of tho state, Tho amendment accomplishes this pur pose by Imposing an educational quail llcation for voting and excepting from the operation of this qualllicatlou all persons who could vote prior to 18U7 and the lineal descendants of all per sous who could vote prior to 1S07 anil who register at any tlnio prior to De cember, 1008. The following Is the section of the amendment which Is alined at the negroes: "No male person who was on January 1, ISO", or at any time prior thereto, entitled to voto un der the laws of any stato In tho United States wherein ho then resided, and no lineal descendant of any such person, shall be denied tho light to register and voto by reason of his failure to possess tho educational qiiullticatlou herein do scribed." This continues tho suffrage to the illiterate whites, but takes it away from the Illiterate negroes. Tho wrong and Injustice of this ills crimination must bo apparent to all fair-minded men. As the Philadelphia Ledger says of the clause of tho amendment above quoted. It Is "an Indefensible device, a trick and subterfuge which disgraces tho stat ute books of any state, Impairs popular confidence In all law and authority and opens the way to the. greater Ills that follow wliou tho people become ex vlnccd that laws are to be Juggled with for base partisan and private ends." That paper further reinnrks that in North Carolina the democrats have not tiie usual excuse that "white suprem acy" Is endangered, for the reason that the whites outnumber the blacks about two to one. An educational ipialllk'it tlon Impartially applied to both races might not be objected to. but the North Carolina policy Is wholly Indefensible, while the course of intimidation pur sued by tin- supporters of that policy Is a reproach to the country. SUMK n'OXDMlFUl, DISCUVKllWS. Our amiable local popocratlc contem porary has solved the Chinese problem. It has discovered that the United States Is responsible for tho outbreak of tho Iloxers and that their terrible atrocities have been Inspired by the disappointing course of tins Americans In exercising sovereignty over tho Philippines nnd en forcing obedience to Its authority under tho treaty of Paris, which was ratified by the personal exertions of Colonel Urynn. In view ol the acquisition of tho Philippines by tht United States we are told by this same sheet that tho mob up rising In China Is perfectly natural. This reasoning Is certainly unique and should be at once adopted by the pow ers by tiling their claims for Indemnity, not with the Chinese government, but with the United States government, which Is really responsible. Why the powers should persist In preparing for war witli China when the war should be directed against tho United States, according to the logic of our wise con temporary. Is beyond all comprehen sion, ir the United States Is the guilty party, why trouble the Chinaman at nil? , Another wonderful discovery emanat ing from the same source Is that the only way to check the greed of European powers, prevent u devastating war and do Justice to China Is for the American people to vote for the demo cratic candidate for president as an en- dnrsiineiit of the proposition that gov ernments derive their Just powers from the consent of the governed. As soon is the Iloxers understand that tho Fili pinos are to govern themselves without et, hindrance or supervision from any other nation they will at once resume their peaceful occupations, as that Is the principle for which these Hoxers have been lighting. The Chinese gov eminent retts upon the consent of the overncd, although the emperor's word Is the only law and nn election in China is boim tiling unknown. It is ltl to 1 that few of tho Iloxers have even heard of the Declaration of Independence or how they are being deprived of their Inalienable lights. All the United States has to do. however, according to the popocri'tlc prescription, Is to register a vote of lack of confidence In President MeKlnley for his energetic action In protecting American citizens ondan gored in the Orient and substitute Mr. Urynn In the White House, on n pledge to permit China to massacre our minis ters, missionaries and residents without punishment, and nil will bo smooth sailing.

OTIIIlIl LAMIS THAN OtltS. Half a century ago what Is now Italy was divided into a number of petty principali ties, partly Independent and partly subject to Austria. Italy ns a single and united nation did not exist. Tho strongest of the independent states was tho kingdom of bar- dlnla, or Piedmont, which was ruled by tho houso of Savoy. When the revolutionary movement swept over all Kuropo In ISIS, the king of Sardinia, Charles Albert, romptly recognized the popular demands hy giving his people a free constitution. That was the beginning of Italian freedom and of Italian unity. Threo years later, having beeen defeated by tho Austrlans, harles Albert resigned In favor of his eoii, Ictor Kmmanuel. Tho progress of events during tho twenty-seven years' reign of that famous monarch Is familiar history. At Its close in 1878, tho dying Victor Kmmanuel turned over to his son, Hum bert, nn Ituly that Included tho entire Ital ian peninsula with tho Islands of SlcUy nd Sardinia, with tho romantic Venice nt Its eastern border and with Its capital fixed In the ancient city of Home. It wns a free Italy as well as a united Italy, with n par liament In tho election of which every male citizen over 111 years old who could read and write had n vote, with local homo rule, Ith n free press and a responsible mln- lbtry. Tho sultan, who has on several occasions let it bo known that his sympathies are 1th tho Chlneso as against the Christian powers, tried to do them a good turn tno ther day by making a formal protost to St. Petersburg ngalnst the passage of Russian troops for the fur east from tho Hluck sea, through the Dosphorus and Dardanelles. When tho volunteer fleet cruisers wero car rying guns and munitions of war for the uso of tho Chlneso he raised no objections. As a matter of fact, tho Husslan government has been sending troops through tho Dardanelles for tho last ten years with tho utmost reg ularity, without exciting tho least opposi tion on tho part of tho portc, until rein forcements wero urgently needed at Tien Tsln. Of course tho protest Is a mere empty formality and was mado simply with a view to annoyance. The only difference will be Hint tho troops will bo described under some ther name. It Is perfectly well known that tho vessels of tho BO-called volunteer fleet which have Balled from Odessa for the east during the last few months have all carried from 1,000 to 1,200 men apiece. Tho Hus slan authorities, nevertheless, announce gravely that hereafter all reinforcements will bo dispatched by tho overland routo through Siberia. According to mall advices that havo been received In Madrid from Tangier tho sul tan of Morocco denies tho right of Franco to tho Algerian hinterland recently takon possession of by French troops, nnd par ticularly adheres to his clulm of sover eignty over tho district of Twat. It is also said that tho Moorish troops engaged In operations in tho Klft country aro being reinforced from Mazagan, and that If the formal protests against the encroach ments of tho French recently dispatched to tho powers through tholr representa tives in Tangier produco no effect tho sultan will Immediately dispatch an envoy extraordinary to tho principal Kuropean capitals, begging that tho statUB quo be tween Algeria and Morocco bo maintained. The protest to tho French government was n long document, in which he pointed out tho hereditary rights of Morocco to tho hinterland: that Morocco had never been a party to any agreement between tho powers which placed that territory within tho sphero of (French influenco and that, whllo ho was doing his utmost to prevent tho Kablles from carrying ou their wish to oppose tho advanco of thu French troops, ho would not bo able to control them for long. According to other advices received In Madrid, tho internal affairs of Morocco are In a deplorable condition, most of tho villages and towns now representing armeo camps. Owing to tho persecutions in ino Riff provinces many thousands oi rdio- hmlted Kilts havo been forced to emigraio, most of them going to Algeria to assist French designs on tholr country, but some of them havo invaded tho surrounding un t rifts of Morocco, where they havo ostab llshed armed camps.
