But even in this case the failure of the platform to commend the efforts made by the President to sever the international bimetallic agree- ment shows the money plan of the Re- publican party in 1896 was a fraud. “The trust plank means nothing when taken in connection with the fact that there no condemnation in the platform of trusts which have grown up under a fepudlican administration. “Regarding imperialism, there is no defi- nite policy outiined. While every intelli- gent readers knows that the administration intends a colonial policy, patterned after the polictes of the Muropean monarchies, the platform does not candidly and honest- ly aver the party's~ purpose. “Again, while the military spirit was a noticeable feature of the convention, the party did not dare indorse the President'g demand for a standing army of 100.000 men. “Another noticeable feature of the plat- form is that no mention is made of the forth in ‘the Declaration of Although the convention ‘ity where the Declaration ‘ce Was signed and where the iblican convention was held, there specific indorsement of the prin- ‘cClVe free from carefully read the so-called Boer ft no one can tell from reading he Republican party sympathizes nh the English or the b ers, “he great questions agitating the people barely hinted at in the platform.

LI HUNG CHANG’S CITY. There is nothing interesting about the flat region between the mouth of of the Pel Ho and Tien Tsin, where the Grand Canal joins the river. Here and there is a little village with its ad- jJacent graveyard and little patches of rice irrigated by ditches and troughs. The big cities of the south have much that is picturesque abcait them, but in Tien Tsin there is nothing bright or attractive outside the foreign quar- ter except the clothes of the inhabi- tants. ‘The city is the home of Li Hung Chang. There ts no large Chinese town more filthy than Tlen Tsin. Every foreign- er who visits it carries away a vivid impression of dirt, heat and bad smetis. The city, though it has nearly a miiilon inhabitants, daes not spread over 80 much territory a3 many a smaller Chi- nese city. It is the commercial port of Pekin, and here are stored vast quantities of wheat, rice, miliet, tex- tiles and prepared meats, which come up from the south by way of the Grand Canal to supply the miilions of north- ern China with the means of sups‘s- tence. Commercially, Tien Tsin is far more important than any other city in the northern part of.the empire. Like Pekin, the city. outside of the foreign quarter, consists chiefly of mud, brick -and bamboo houses, only one story high, and huddled together with little semblance of arrangement. No- body ever heard of the streets In a north China town betne fit for traffic, amd those of Tien Tein, unpaved, un- even, and full of ruts, are bad enough to bring almost any spring cart to speedy grief. The streets are the re- ceptacles for the refuse of all the houses bulit along them and there are no contractors to haul away the no!lsOme garbage, whose smell ascends to heaven. In dry weather the roads are many inches deep with dust. The result of Tien Tain’s eee! condition is that it is a very unhealthy place, where some epidemic or another Is nearly &lWays breeding. Smalipox ts found there nearly all the year round. After a few hours’ inspection of the Chinese quarters the stranger invari- ably turns with relief to the more pleas- ant foreign city along the river and to the wharves, where all ts bustle, and where are crowds of vessels of every sort, from houseboat to gunboat. Visitors to Pekin sometimes take the fiver route and sometimes the road. The distance by road is é@ighty miles, and the only conveyances are rude carts. Letters which go to Pekin in the winter have to travel overland several hundred miles after they reach China, and they first go to Shanghal, and are carried by pony express. , ae 4 . 6 a - ~ ew . s ae Laer , AMERICAN CONSULATE AT TIEN TSIN.
