The Associated Press under date of
Tien Tain, July 13 (via Che Foo, July 15,
and Shanghai, July 16) says:
At 2 o'clock this afternoon 7,000 of
the allied troops were attempting to
storm the wall of the city. The attack
began at daylight. Its success is doubt
ful. The Chinese on the walls are esti
mated conservatively at 20,000. They
are pouring a terrific hail of artillery,
rifle and machine gun fire upon the
attackers. The Americans, Japanese,
British and French troops are attacking
from the west and the Russians from
the east.
The Americans suffered terribly. As
the Associated Press representative left
the field the chief surgeon of the Ninth
infantry said a conservative estimate
was that 25 per cent of the Americans
were hit. Colonel Emmerson H. Liscum
is reported to have been mortally woun
ded as he was walking in front of the
troops. Major Began and Captains
Bookmiller, Wilcox and Noyes are among
the wounded. The marines' losses in
clude Captain Davis, killed, and Butler,
Leonard and several others wounded.
Officers declared that it was hotter
than Santiago.
When thecorrespondent left the Am
ericans were lying in the plain between
the wall and the river under an enfilad
ing and a direct fire. It was equally
difficult for them to advance or retire.
The correspondent counted 300 wonn
ded men of all nationalities.
H. H. Hanna, of Indianapolis, founder
of the sound money organization in
1896, has this to say
"All the friends of sound money
will enthusiastically cooperate to
secure the snecess of the party
which has responded to our ap
peals." He also adds thatthe sound money
plank in -the Republican platform.
"Will give the sound money
Democrats something to hope for
and work for in a continuation of
the present party in power It will
arouse the interest of the business
men and present an issue of the fu
ture which they can heartily en
dorse and actively support. I think
the sound money Democrats, under
these circumstances, will vote the
Republican ticket, or, even if they
do not'eare'to'do that, they will not
go further than to refuse to vote at
all."
The old democratic wheel-horses
were willing to concede almost every
thing to Bryan in the way of- platform
to the extent of his own asking, but
they' didn't like it a particle. Who
could imagine Croker strenuous for a
principle! We can all see-how he might
work hard to save the democratic
machine in New York from destruction
at the hands of republicans, but we
imagine that he and all such as he go
into the'campaign.with'certainty of de
feat staring them in the face.
It has been impossible to conceal the
fact that Admiral Seymour was com
pelled to shoot his own wounded during
the recent disastrous retreat of the
Pekin relief expedition, in mercy to
them, rather than that they should fall
into the hands of the Chinese and be
frightfully tortured. A few merciful
volleys ended their lives in decency at
the hsnds of friends and countrymen,
instead of by fiendish torture and mu
tilation by the cruel hordes of Boxers.
Ax official whose acts are'tempered
by mercy is the trnly just one and the
official who shows no mercy is very
likely to want mercy very badly himself
some time. That the public is becom
ing more kindly in its treatment of the
erring ones is good proof that the world
is advancing. Humanity is on the ad

age can congratulate themselves that
such is the case. Grand Island Jonrnal.

Looking out upon a peaceful sea of
prosperity bequeathed to them by the
statesmanship of McKInley It was in
keeping with good judgment and sound
reasoning f.r the republicans in na
tional convention assembled to attest
their appreciation and gratitude by
unanimously choosing William McKIn
ley for their presidential candidate. In
the four years he had been at the helm
of state he had not only banished dis
tress from the doorway of millions of
American homes, but he had gone forth
to a struggling people of unhappy isl
ands and torn from their limbs the
chains of servitude and silenced for
ever the sovereignty over them of one
of the most merciless monarchies
known ti modern .history.
The Vie PrMMajr.
Mindful of the Importance of posi
tive and experienced statesmanship,
the republicans placed, as second on
the ticket, that sturdy compatriot,
Theodore Roosevelt. There are few
names In American politics better
known than this, aad none more sym
bolic of nonesty, fidelity and Intellec
tual and moral qualities. Roosevelt
has won his position in ropular confi
dence In the open forum, where as sol
dier and civilian be has exhibited such
qualities as are found only in the-most
unsullied type of American citisenshlp.
A man of lofty patriotism, broad and
progressive ideas, schooled In the
science of government, he Is a strong
companion-piece to McKInley and his
candidacy bears with It an assurance
of honesty, patriotism, care and cir
cumspection in the administration of
public affairs. Roosevelt may Justly
be claimed by the west as its represen
tative, for, though a resident of New
York, he has for many years been in
terested in the stock industry in the
Dakotas ana has spent much of his
life on tbe ' ontler. No man In public
life is morr mindful of his duties.
Whether hi- task te to stand between
the people and rapacity, or to lead a
column of soldiers against a death deal
ing storm of 3hot and shell In the cause
of humanity, as he did at San Juan
hill, it Is all the same. Manhood is
there and it asserts itself.
MctUnley and Kooseveit ootn men

Judgment that Is profound. Both
stand for conservatism in public af
fairs for peace at all times when war
can be avoided without dishonor and
consistent with the decrees and obliga
tions of humanity. They are opposed
to militarism, and they both are op
posed to a large standing army. War
has only been accepted as an inevitable
and unavoidable obligation. They and
the republican party favor the main
tenance of only such a standing army
as will suffice as a nucleus ia tbe event
of foreign complications and as is suffi
cient to maintain law and order at
home. The object of the- American peo
ple as typified and set forth In the re
publican party Is, not to subject dis
putes to the cruel 'arbitrament of war,
but to settle all disputes at hems and
abroad without resort to force. ' No

In the approaching campalga no

watched than Nebraska. One reason in
that It Is the home of the fusioa can

Another and still mora potent reason
is. that it is an agricultural aad man

largely benefited by republican pros

notized aad frlghtet-ed by the alluring
promises and startllag predictions of
the fusion campaigners, aad by those

toral vote to the fusloalsts. The peo
ple of Nebiska had faith ia the pre
dictions of the "boy orator" and they
followed his leadership. He was de

And Nebraska is otherwise con
cerned than in the ultimate triumph
of the national republican ticket. The
success of the congressional and state
tickets are of the highest Importance.
The re-election of Congressmen

means fall. Both have rendered splen
did service. Congressman Burkett

lowance of 342 pensions, mostly for .
veterans of the civil war. He has
been, like Mercer, a strong advocate
of the rural mall service, and has suc
ceeded in establishing three of these
routes In his district, with more to
follow. He has also succeeded in hav
ing several additional postoflces es
tablished. Though not on the com
mittee, he was. successful In securing
an appropriation of 1250,000 for im
provements along the Missouri river,
especial provisions being msde for
improvement at Rulo and Nebraska
City.
Congressman Mercer was equally
successful in securing appropriations
and concessions vastly beneficial to
the state. He is a firm advocate of
equitable pensions, aad has gladdened
many a home in his district by success
in securing the allowance of a pension
claim. Congressman Mercer strongly
champions the rural mail delivery
system and has done much to encour
age it. Much credit is due him for
the Missouri river appropriation.
In the qtlier districts the republi
cans have cnosen their candidates for
congress from among the very best
and ablest men in the party. Every
one of these stands in strict accord
with the administration, and their elec
tion means support to republicanism
as typified in President McKInley. It
should require but little mental energy
to determine the importance of sup
planting fusion congressmen with
these.
Faaloa Sham Kcforna.
Fusion management is a stench in
the nostrils of the people of Nebraska.
Governor Poynter's administration
has made it so. Never before in the
history of the state has there been
such an exhibition of utter incompe
tency and political depravity. Never
before have the interests of the peo
ple and of the state bees so openly
disregard and trampled upon. Tneio
is not a state Institution that is not
blighted by dishonesty or cursed by
incompetency. The public patronare
has been divided up as spoils among
the politicians, and they in turn have
looted the treasury, and. In most in
stances, wrecked the institutions under
their care. Nebraska under the at
ministration of Governor Poynter has
paid a terrible tribute to Ignorance
and incompetency. This applies
no more to Poynter than to the rest of
the state officials, particularly to the
Attorney General's- department, where
the people have been treated to an ex
hibition of t'-m torn beating that would
startle the Chinese.
The State Ticket.
In nominating a state ticket the
republicans, having in mind the evils
of the fuslcn administration, ahd the
necessity of selecting honest and cap
able men, nominated a ticket com
posed of the strongest material in the
party. It headed the ticket with C.v H
Dietrich for Governor, a man of wide
business experience and splendid judg
ment. In, business and social affairs
Mr. Dietrich commands the respect and
esteem of all. He is not a politician,
in the general acceptation of that term,
but is a citizen who recognizes the
right of the people to. summon him
to duty, and a compliance with that
request is at the same time an Implied
promise and assurance that he will,
if elected, perform that duty fearlessly,
honestly and conscientiously. The elec
tion of Mr. Dietrich will insure an
economic, business-like administra
tion, and would put the institutions
and the affairs of the state in the
hands of a man who is noted for 'his
honesty anu shrewd business sagacity.
E. P. Savage, the nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor, Is well and favorably
known throughout the state. He is
noted for his sterling qualities. The
same may be said of G. W. Marsh,
candidate for Secretary of State; Wil
liam Stuefer. "candidate for treasurer;
Charles Weston, candidate for Audi
tor; George D. Follmer. candidate for
Land Commissioner; F, N. Prout, can
didate for Attorney General; and .W.
K. Fowler, candidate for Superintend
ent of Schools. All these candidates
were selected on account of their es
pecial fitness for the respective posi
tions. In one way and another they
will have iuportant duties to perform,
duties which take into account the
interests of the state, and In the prop
er periormnce o wricu me peopie
of Nebraska are vitally interested and
deeply concerned.
During the campaign tbe electors of
Nebraska -rill have the pleasure and

Although the women of dvflised na
tions sre'treated as noncombataats and
are exempt from military duty, heroines
without number appear on the roU of
honor, especially ja popular uprisings for
dvfl liberty.
The world knows no finer exarsple of
heroism than that displayed by the Boer
womea daring the present strife between
the South African Dutch and the British.
These women are not nurses and cooks
only, but are fighters as well aad as
brsve ss their brothers snd husbands.
Chief among the ancient women who
fought too the freedom of their people
j was Queen Bosdices, wife of Prassta

'of France owed his realm. After a three
months struggle she wrested the scepter
from the British and crowned him king
at Reims.
One of the most famous American wo
men soldiers in the war of the Revolu
tion was Deborah Sampson, who joined
the Continental army in 1778 under the
name of Robert Sbirtliffe. She served
in the army for three years as a private
soldier before her sex was discovered.
Dicey Langston of the Carolinas was
one of Marion's most trusted scouts.
Night after night, when she was suppos
ed to be asleep in her own room, she car
ried news over field and swamp to the
American camp. Though the British
wondered how their plans were always
circumvented, she was never detected.
Emily Geiger, too, was a famous army
messenger of the Revolutionary times.
On one occasion when she was carrying
a message, the contents of which. she
knew, from General Greene to Sumter,
she was intercepted by some Tory scouts
and .taken prisoner on suspicion. Left
alone for a few minutes, she chewed into
bits the written message that she was
carrying. When searched, of course there
was nothing discovered, and she wss per
mitted to pursue her journey. She de
livered to Sumter, verbally, the message,
which saved the day.
On the field of Monmouth Molly Pitch
er made herself famous. A shot from
the enemy killed her husband, a can
noneer, at uls post. Tbe omcer in com
mand, having no one competent to fill
the vacancy, ordered the gua to be with
drawn. She heard the order and, seizing
the rammer, continued the fight, vowing
that she would avenge her husband's
death. The commission of sergeant was
conferred upon her by General Washing
ton in recognition of her bravery.
Just as all soldiers do not win personal
renown, so all the army of devoted Amer
ican women could not enter tbe lists of
battle heroines, like Deborah Sampson
and Mollle Pitcher; but they proved
heroines in patience, in watchfulness and
in patriotic spirit.
In 17G8 the colonial women showed
their patriotism by the spirit of self de
nial when in the face of tbe stamp act
they unanimously agreed to reject Bohea,
tho brand of imported tea then so popu
lar, and chose the balsamic Hyperion, a
domestic manufacture prepared from tbe
dried leaves of the raspberry plant. The
ladies who thus denied themselves were
known as tbe Daughters of Liberty.
When husbands and fathers were away
in the Continental ranks in 1778, the wo
men of Wyoming plowed, sowed and
reaped, and not only that, but they made
gunpowder, too, for the supply was low
at the fort.
In 1780 the distress of the American
army was very great on account of the
lack of clothing. The women formed an
association for tbe purpose of relieving
the distress of the soldiers. Those who
could gave money. The highest dames
of tbe land labored with their needles and
sacrificed their trinkets snd jewelry. The
ladles of Philadelphia contributed 200
shirts, wbich they bad cut and sewed
themselves. On esch garment was the
name of the maker and in a number of
cases this led to courtship and marriage.
On the retreat of the Continental army
from Fort Edward Mrs. Philip Schuyler,
tbe wife of General Schuyler, rode from
Albany to Saratoga, and gave orders to
set fire to tbe extensive fields of wheat
on their estates snd requested the tea
ants to do the same rather than suffer
the enemy tfr reap them.

REVENUE AND SURPLUS.
Cea-aaaa Wteat Aaal Gem-
yearn of experience un
der the Dinglty tariff law it is worth
while te observe how absolutely the re
sults have fulfilled the expectation of
the statesmen who framed that meae-
. says the New York Mail and Ex-
Ne tariff act waa ever more bit
terly opposed by the free traders than
that which passed congress July 24.
1807; none ever so speedily confounded
Its enemies, nor has any ever so hap
pily surprised its supporters. The ef
fects of Hs operation can be most clear
ly shown by a few comparisons be
tween preaeat conditions and those
which prevailed four years ago.
On htay 31. 1800; for example, the
available cash la the treasury amount
ed to $267,19311. but a large propor
tion of this was obtained by the Cleve
land policy of selling bonds hi time of
peace. Tbe balance steadily declined,
however, and at the outbreak of the
Spanish war In 1808 it bad fallen to
$215310,622. Since then we have pass
ed through a war Involving tbe expend
iture of $338,000,000, yet tbe cash In
the treasury on May 31 of this year
amounted to $290,055,535, with the
moral certainty of a still further in
crease. In May, 1800, the government
receipts nmcuated to $24,043,717 and
the expenditures to $28,426,502, but In
May, 1900, the receipts were $45,166,
653, and the expenditures were $40,
830,000, showing n surplus for May this
year of $4,836,053 as against n deficit
of $3,782,875 for the corresponding
month four years ago. Or, to draw tbe
contrast oa broader lines, there was a
surplus of $03,356,142 for the 11
months ending May 31. 1900, as against
a deficit of $27552.676 for the 11
months ending May 31. 1806.
These striking results are due almost
wholly to the Dlngley tariff. For May,
1806, the customs receipts amounted to
$10,949,793. while for May. 1900. they
rose to $17,306,573 and that, too. In
spite of the fact that our Imports last
month were 30 per cent less .than In the
corresponding month four years ago.
The free trade contention that the en
actment of the Dlngley law would rum
our export trade Is best answered by
the fact that our exports, which
amounted to $807,538,165 under the
Wilson-Gorman tariff In 1895. rose to
$127,02302 under the Dlngley meas
ure In 1899. The balance of trade hi
our favor la 1896 was $102,82264. For
tbe yenr ending April. 1900, It was
$513312,933. These comparisons make
their own appeal to American common
aense and business judgment.
A TAX THAT IS POPULAR.
That Is PI4 ny ta Other Fel
law aad aVlasa F-aaaerttjr.
"A poll tax Is never popular," says
the New Haven Palladium. "What
kind of tax is popular?" asks the New
York Sun. "An Indirect tax that tbe
other fellow pays or that Is paid with
out knowledge of the payment," replies
the Philadelphia Record. '
A very good answer and one that
shows why tho protective tariff taxes
are so popular. Consumers don't know
when they pay them and are not bur
dened by them. The reason is that they
build up home Industries, raise Ameri
can wages, make our money circulate
nt home Instead of abroad and Increase
the worker's surplus of income over
outgo. Tbe protective tariff Is a home
builder, n creator of prosperity and n
promoter of content Hence It Is popu
lar, and tbe people are not going to
vote It away this year. Rochester
