It will be noted that neither Tom

The republicans who object to
returning to the McKinley tariff
are evidently averse to shooting the

proffered mediation until China
shall have sued for peace, suggests
that he would be glad to conduct
diplomatic correspondence with
China through American ministers.
As Japan has won a notable vic¬
tory over an enemy that was pre¬
sumably her equal, if not her su¬
perior, the mikado's wish to ob¬
tain from China a definite confes¬
sion of defeat is -reasonable and
natural. As the victor, Japan has
the right to ask that the overtures
for peace come from the other side.
There are good business and politi¬
cal reasons why the island king¬
dom should wish the world to be
made aware of her superiority.
The United States government
has authorized Minister Dun in
Japan and Minister Denby in China
to transmit whatever messages the
warring powers may want to ex¬
change. As the ministerial rela¬
tions of the two countries have
been entirely cut off, the offer of
Secretary Gresham and President
Cleveland has therefore had the
highly gratifying result of provid¬
ing means of securing peace which
otherwise might have been difficult
to find. If China now formulates
its offer for peace to Mr. Denby,
that official will be empowered to
treat with Mr. Dun as the repre¬
sentative of Japan.
And if these Amercian officials,
acting in this way, succeed in
bringing about a peace, they will
have added a feather to their own
caps and secured for the govern¬
ment at Washington the credit for
an act in keeping with the spirit of
Christian civilization.
A Great Japanese Victory.
With the capture of Port Arthur
tlie Japanese have put themselves
in possession of the most for¬
midable stronghold by which China*
could expect to block the approach
to the imperial capital.
defeated overwhelmingly in (he
land engagements in Korea, and in
the naval contests in the Yellow
Sea, China heretofore has managed
retain possession of some for¬
midable impediments to progress
toward her interior. Port Arthur
• -
is well fortified by its natural posi¬
tion, and was an obstacle* which an
invading army might well regard
with apprehension. The J a panese
naval and land forces, working to¬
gether, took the port, however,
with the same dash and celerity
which have characterized their
other victories.
Had not the previous reverses of
China led that nation to confess her
defeat, this latest blow coming us
a climax in the Japanese campaign
must have settled the matter.
With the road to Peking fairly
opened the Japanese have also
mobolized armies for action in two
other important points of China.
Unless China succeeds in securing
a cessation of hostilities immediate¬
ly the chances are that December
will see the Japanese investing
the imperial capital and conduct¬
ing victorious marches into the in¬
land strongholds of China. -
Japan, in short, is in a position
to command her own terms of In¬
demnity, and in the apparent will¬
ingness of China to accept peace
at any cost there is a peculiarly hu¬
miliating confession of disastrous
defeat. The question as to what
effect this outcome must have upon
the future of tba orient is one which
must be regarded in connection
with the far-reaching results it may
involve. Chip-* has learned at bit¬
.
ter cost the lesson that a govern¬
ment operated on principles, and
plans in vogue in the dark ages
cannot expect to compete with
tiom which embrace tfc!e means and
>*• civilisation. If the im

Red .Viers and Civilization.
A curious and suggestive in¬
cident has just come to Jight in the
recent troubles among the Moqui
Indians, a small tribe living in the
mountains of Arizona, One of
tribal chiefs upon a recent visit to
the east became imbued with the
jdeas of civilization and upon his
return endeavored to advocate bis
views among the Moquois. His
people, however, rebuked him for
the suggestion, held a council for¬
mally declaring hostility to all
civilizing influences and have had
the progressive chief placed in cus¬
tody.
It is evident that the Moquois,
like many of thek fellow tribes, re¬
gard civilization as the invasion of
traditional rights and privileges.
This particular tribe may be some-;
what nlore conservative in preserv
its traditions than the others,
but the fact remains that while
many tribes have consented to
civilization none has rushed to
embrace it. Admirable work has
been done in the Indian schools,
but the results stand rather as a
sign of Caucasian enterprise than
of Imfian progre^iiveness. The re
jectiontifcTvTfization by the Mo¬
quois is,after all,merely representa¬
tive of the universal attitude of the
red man, who, save in exceptional
cases,.treads the path of the white
man only under compulsion.
It is one of the curious character¬
istic of a rapidly disappearing race
that, while civilization has managed
to tame the red man and to treat
with him on a basis of amity, it
has seldom been able to efface his
primeval and legendary impulses.
The z nUan will “investigate the
outrages’’ against the Armenians.
That will be kind of him. But it
willylot rfclieve tlie rest of civili/.a
f rom the responsibility of m
vestigating the investigation.
It is to be hoped Mr. Brecken
ridge will announce bis itinerary a
good long lime in advance. Then
people in the threatened districts
will have time to make their prepa¬
rations for escape.
American meat can still be im¬
ported into Germany in small
quantities carefully packed away
under the vest.
Korea’s Future.
There seems to he no difference of opinion
in diplomatic circles as to the future of
Corea. That hapless cotfntry is pretty sure
to fall under the suzerainty, more or less
pronounced, of Japan.; For years to come,
without much doubt, the Japanese will
keep their troops in Seoul and the com¬
merce of the country they will quietly di¬
vert to their own channels: Much doubt
is expressed here of the truth of the report
of the customs chief of China, a German,
has been sent to Japan to negotiate terms
of peace. There is also doubt of the capaci¬
ty of hur minister at Tokio, Mr. Dunn, to
successfully handle such delicate and im¬
portant negotiations in case the Chinese
decide to act through him and Minister
Denby. Duun is described ns a rather ob¬
tuse man of no grout intellectual attain¬
ments and lie has never occupied a very
high position at tlie Japanese court. The
report that he had'mafried a Japanese lady
of the nobility is denied by those
who know the facts, and it Is also said the
fact that be went to Japan as a farmer or
suporiuteudent of a model farm, conpUsi
with his early experience* as an agricul¬
would bar him from an alliance with
Japanese nobility, aa it baa also affected
bis standing at court. In case the negotia¬
fail into hi* hands be will have a
chance to distinguish himself and
surprise those who know him if he
out of it with credit. He was ap¬
second secretary of legation by
President Arthur to please Senator
and promoted to minister by
President Cleveland at Judge Thurman’s
request. ' t ' ft
