THE AMERICAS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1900.
IHE
ADVANCE UPON PEKIN
■'"cerely to bo hoped that China
. ptiy realizo the thoroughly
■ urposo of tho United States to
, 0 Minister Conger from his pro
i ]iosition in Pekin. It
reiea ;
t dangerous
* that we have the promise, con
' i through the Chiuoso Minister at
that Chinese authorities will
c the safety of the Ministers
^mission for them to com
jnsrant*
*nd grant l
nuicate freely with their respective
oteruments. Tho time has passed
however,
ileSuite
for promises. Something more
ud satisfactory is needed,
jjit j S the purpose of Chino to restore
toQmmm'ation between the foreign
powers anil tho imprisoned envoys, no
use should be lost in putting that pur
into exeontion,
jbeii, and not until then, will tho
p a ited States, as we understand the
ministration’s policy, be ready to
disengage
itself from the allianco into
,bich it has been forced by the situa-
on at Pekin.
American self-respect, national dig
jjity and honor, and every other propor
jentiment demand that Minister Con.
the official representative of a
creat people, shall enjoy in Chinn the
nae degree of freedom nnd safety
hick, for instance, is guaranteed to
Minister Wn Ting Fong in the United
States.
If the Chinese government, through
weakness, cowardice, or indisposition,
is unable or unwilling to afford him
this liberty and immunity from harm,
it becomes the duty of the United
States to rescue him from his peril.
It is in this spirit, and with no desiro
for vengeance or spoliation, wo tako it,
that the administration authorizes the
onward movement upon Pekin. This
each it is entitled to do; less than this
would be a disgrace to the flag which
we love and which all notions must re
reel. Beyond this, however, there is,
or ought to bo, no desise to go.
It is easy to see, therefore, that, so
r as the United States is concerned,
tte solution of the problem rests with
China.
The moment that Minister Conger
placed iu full and free communi-
tatiun with this government, tho mom-
it the authorities here can bo
satisfied of his present nnd futuro
infer, that momont the uplited arm of
the United States must fall without de
liveriug the threatened blow. All that
has been already done can then bo
mile the subject of negotiation and nn
micahle reparation can bo arranged.
Believing that the uprising in Pekin
iu not been fostered through the con-
aivance of tho Chinese govern
ment, the United States will notex-
libit n revengeful passion or seek in
China's internal troubles au excuse for
territorial acquisition.
In the meantime, however, there
must he no doubt of the sincerity of
he determination of tho United States
lend a helping hand to Minister
oeger in his dire oxtromity. China
nst even now lie convinced of this
If she is not, nmplo proof will

rages on Mob.
A million pensioners and the civil war
closed over a third of a century ago.
A million pensioners and not a million
men enlisted in the Union armies.
Since tho close of that struggle persons
who were unborn at the time nave sue-
ceeded their fathers. The generation
which fought the war has passed away,
and yet a million are left.
What gigantic robbery of the Gov-
ernment is this. What shame and hu
miliation to an honest Government.
IV hat au injustice upon every man that
works and gives of his labor to support
these people, many of them idlers, im
postors and hypocrites.
Men who entered the army at -1 are
now 05, Men who went in at 30, are
now TO. Those who went in at 33, the
average age, are T5. How many of
these real, bona fide veterans are left?
We are confident 200,000 would be an
outsidelfigure.
One reason the pension scandal goes
on and increases iu infamy each year is
that the people do not realize that it is
they^who pay the bills. The usual
Phrase is: “The Government pays the
pensioners; the Government is a rich
concern with unlimited money,and if it
chooses to bo imposed ou, well and
good. Weare not tho losers.”
But what supports the Goverumeut
is the people of the United States, the
men that work, and a part of their labor
is taken from them by taxing power
and given to (he Government. It may
be done directly or indirectly, but it is
done. If tho people would appreciate
the manner in which they are rob.
bed, they would elect no man to Con
gress not favorable to cutting the pen
sion cancer to the bone.

Tho table of both parties show that

Tho fact is, the Democrats have
brighter prospects of success this year

GANVDER
Sufferers 1 rom this h.mble malady
nearly always inherit it —not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
arauce — or a swollen gland in the
east, or some other part of the hod)’,
Jes the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma
nently all the poisonous virus must be
■liminated from the blood—every vestage
it driven out. This S. S. S. does and
the only medicine that can reach deep-
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns .
Cancer begins often in a smallway.asthe
following letter from"
willing to conclude a truce. He replied
that ho was willing, provided tho Chi
nese came no closer.
"Shell firing lias ceased. We hopo
this means relief. Having defeated the
Chinese, we aro fearing treachery. All
are exhausted with constant watching,
fighting, building barricades and dig
ging trenches night nnd day.
"The greatest credit is due to H. G. S.
Squires, first secrotary of tho United
States legation, whoso military oxperi-
encesare invaluable. Our present dan
ger is treachery.”
There is every indication that the Chi
nese government is awakening to tho
gravity of the situation. It is endoavor-
ing to throw the responsibility for the
outrages iu Peking and elsewlioro on tho
mob. Through diplomacy it is seeking
to foment international jealonsics to
prevent the ndvanco of troops on Pe
king, to escape lawful punishment nnd
to patch up peace. Tho foreigners hero
feel that the Chinosc government is re
sponsible for the chaos and thoy are in
dignant at the reception given to Li
Hung Chang at Shanghai.
It is the conviction of every ono that
no half way measures should bo used.
Thero is nothing to prevent a march on
Peking and the overthrow of tho present
government. It is commonly asserted
that if this is not dono the samo trouble
will be repeated every few yoars.
Two Indian regimonts, ono British
field battery and General Gazeloo liavo
arrived. Any farther delay in advancing
on Peking will be criminal.
