Man is a queer creature. He often makes the mistake of undertaking a task that he is not capable of finishing. Though he may consider himself the mountain and his task a mole hill he realizes after it is too late that he was not equal to the occasion and goes home wounded and bleeding, a sadder but much wiser man. i Mr Bryan, during the campaign of 1890, at Pittsourg. mad the' following prediction; "We venture to predict that if Mc-Kinley is elected and backed by a gold standard congress, every smelter in tht district will blow out within 4 months, and there wont be a thousand dollars spent on building all next summer.

Corn will go to 10 cents in St. Louis and wheat to 2.r cents Chicago, and what is more it will stav down. The closed mills will keep company with the closed mints, and only those who have farms and are absolutely without debt will be able to keep out of the sheriff's We do not doubt that Mr. Bryan really believed, when he made the prediction, that it would come true. And everybody knows now that it did not come true, And every who had studied the money question and who had any knowledge or true financial principles, knew in 1896 that it would not come true.

So granting Mr Bryan's sincerity, we are yet compelled to admit that he lack ed wisdom. And was not Governor Roosevelt right when he said that what this country wanted In a president was not only honesty, but wisdom William McKinley is just as honeBt as William Bryan; and he is a whole lot wiser.

The United States In China. The rescue of the foreigners at Pekin closed one chapter In the history of the crisis in China, and it makes it timely to review the course followed by the United States. The United States was first of the gov ernments affected to make its policy known. It notified the other governments that it would act with them to restore order, to protect its citizens and to protect its treaty rights; but that the end which it had in view was the establishment of peace and the preservation, of the integrity of the Chinese government. It announced that it was op posed to the partition of China.

This declaration helped to relieve the international jealousies which were already manifesting themselves, aud to bring the powers together for effective action. It was not clear at the time whether the attacks upon foreigners were the work of mobs or were inspired by the government. The American policy was adapted to either contingency. If there was a government at Pekin which was able and willing to protect foreign ers it had only to exert its power to prove its good faith. If the govern' ment were itself implicated in the dis turbances, it would be convicted of com plicity by its failure to comply with the demand of the United States that it cooperated with the relieving army.

When the Chines" government tried to secure a cessation of hostilities by a parley about peace, the United States refused to negotiate so- long as the American minister at Pekin was unable to communicate freely with his government. It informed Eari Li that it was ready to set in the interest of peace, but not until the attacks on the legations had ceased, the foreign ministers had been put in free communication with their governments, and order had been restored. These conditions it demanded not as favors but rights. So the relieving army pushed on, and its attention was, paid to to furnish the ministers a Chinese escort to Tien Tsin. One important result of the American policy has been to hold the powers back from a declaration of war.

If war, had been declared on China, the, viceroys of great provinces, now friendly or neutral would have arrayed themselves against 'the powers and the' troubles would, have extended over llie empire. The United States could not see its treaty rights violated, its, cj.Uzeus kill and its'niihister within peril of his-ltfe without interfering. If there was no gov eminent in China to prevent such crimes force must be applied from' -without. This is what the United State and the other powers have dont; but the frank unselfishness of the declared American policy has disarmed the suspicions of the Chinese and has gained the respect of 6ther powers. The United States has now a free hand, ut.der this policy, 'in dealing with such emergencies as may arise.
