Poesi Hilft and as l -rthne uywiiHxig to c»*r.f>.tk-. 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 of Chin. W so and so set in their prejudice tt ciri’.iMtion x to dimgtnl -stood it uftiT *- w|r 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.
