King In hi* Interview In the Morning News yesterday, namely, (hat our gov ernment Is ni.iklnx a mistake in with drawing 8* troops from t’hlna. Is the same •a thst taken by missionaries ttenernlly. From his point of view it will not be |mw sibie for the missionaries, for a time at least, to eontinue their work In China without the protection of foreign armies. It Is a question whether missionaries nre likely to arcompilifh much If they have lo conduct their work supported by bul lets and bayonets. Hut the fa t should not be overlooked by our missionaries that our government sent an army lo China for the purpose of rescuing our min ister und the occupants of the American legation, and not to protect missionaries. Our soldiers have, of course* protected the missionaries as far as they could, but It doesn't follow that they must remotn In China In order to continue the protec tion. It would Is- far leas ex|ienslve for the missionaries to rciurn to this country until peace was restored In China. He - sides, the protection the troops would give the missionaries. If they were to re main. would he principally morttl. because the missionaries arc al widely different siatlons while the troops would be at only one or two places—probably at Pekin ami Tien Tsln. In the dispatches an Intimation has ap peared that It Is the purpose of the Chi nese government to nsk. In its negotia tions with the Powers, that missionaries be withdrawn altogether from China It Is hardly probable that It will do anything of the kind, though It Is Admitted that missionaries are one source of Irritation and trouble. If It should nsk us lo with draw our missionaries It Is difficult to see how we could refuse and remain consist ent. We have a law excluding Chinamen from our country. Why have not the Chi nese the same right to enact a law prohib iting missionaries entering China? If th%y should take that step we should have to carry our religion lo them on the point* of bayonets If we carried It la them all. As o matter of fact Vre are not any kinder to religions we don't like than are the Chinese. In fact we are not so kind. The Morning News published yesterday an account of the tarring and feathering, a day or two ago. of a rs .lies of Mormon missionaries In one ot Ihe./ counties of Florida. Indeed, th. mobbing of Mormon missionaries is not an iiti-nmm.ii thing In many ports of this country There are. It seems. Boxers here as well as In China. It Is difficult for a landsman to under stand the value of the "naval maneuvers" that have Just ler brought off at New port. One small division of ships, aided by a few torpolo craft, hive made sham attacks upon another small division of ships aided by shore batterta* and one submarine boat. Fleetrl’ search lights Instead of ehot snd sh.-ll were the means of defense arid offense used. Home "points" were made on each side, hut nothing lhal occurred was In the least I convincing. However, U Is probably liet ter that the ships were pul through mi mic warfare. Even that 1- better than the flower fete* that they hive been taking port In at Newport all the ■ aeon.

The appeal, emkrrsed by the t love refer of Texas, sent out by the Mayor and members of the relief committee of Gal veston ought to end doubtless will, meet with a ready add liberal response.

Hut there Is not enough In sight to do much toward re-building homes. It will take pretty nearly all that has thus far been received to clear away the ruins and put the city In condition for business. It Is Important that obstructions to commerce shall be removed as quickly as possible In order that the needy shall have opportunities of earning a living The fact lhal the M-Xican government ha* given 130.01*1 should stimulate the American people to P spond to the appeal liberally.
