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. No less than 1,400

Through four long, weary years.
And tended them with loving care,
And watered them with tears.
