Owing to the almost inconceivable stu pidity and greed of certain supposedly civilized white persons, modern civiliza tion is brought face to face with those dangers from aggressive barbarians and partially civilized peoples, from which it escaped several hundred years ago. The civilized nations owe their com ma-m'uiijr position to the superiority of their irur.igence over that of the serni dvfßzed or entirely uncivilized nations. Owing (o this superior Intelligence they secured and retained that dominance which belongs to the possessor of the most effective and strongest weapons of war. Modern arms alone have sustained modern civilization and protected it from an overwhelming: invasion of bar<barous hordes. The superior weapon of the Roman sol dier was the defense and bulwark of Roman civilization, and when the bar barians secured equally effective weapons and learned the art of war from the Romans, the success of Attila was pos sible and Rome fell. History is now repeating itself. The civilized nations of Europe and America have placed in the hands of the semi civilized Chinese, the latest improved nicdern weapons and taught them their use, and having raised the Chinese to their own level, bo far as offensive and defensive power is concerned, the China man ha? become practically the equal for warlike purposes of the European or the American. In the matter of stamina and courage they may not be the equal of the best of the white races, but they cer tainly equal the mediocre and lower grade European people. Now civilization will have to fight for Its very existence, and unless it can In «rease the effectiveness and destructive ness of its weapons of war, the civilized and the uncivilized will stand on an equal footing physically, with the advantage on the side of the barbarian by reason of his unrestrained ferocity and lack of hu mane characteristics. Can the genius of modern civilization co improve upon the weapons of war as to once more make the civilized na tions the masters of the uncivilized? Hiram Maxim and other experts in the art of making war weapons will probably answer, Yes. But there is this to be considered—that any great increase in the destructive effectiveness* of modern arma ments beyond their present perfection w m mean a resort to devices which we have been very busy condemning for the last thirty or forty years as inhumane and barbarous. But the regulations and restrictions of the Geneva convention and The Hague conference will have but small weight with the Chinaman, and will only act as a handicap to the disadvantage of the civilized nations at war witfi him. It Is not improbable that this very fact has been already weighed and taken into ac count by the wily Chinese. The arms employed by civilization against the uncivilized must of necessity be superior to those used by the enemy; otherwise civilization will find Itself la dire straits. Mere equality of armament la not sufficient; and the scientist of civilization has now before him the task of largely increasing the destructive ef forts of the arms of the civilized nations. When this Is accomplished it should be an offense punishable with death for any person to be found furnishing such im proved armament to semi-civilized or un civilized peoples. IS THE CONVENTION DOOMED} Soma'seventy-five years ago the Demo cratic party rose up and put an end to what had come to be known in politics as "King Caucus." That was simply the designation which was given to the prac tice which prevailed of the policy and I nominees of the party being dictated by a few leading men of the party at Washington. The congressional caucus was the means whereby was determined In those days who should be nominated by the party for presidential office. It fulfilled the office which is now assumed by the national party convention. It was suppressed because it was abused and because It came to be universally recog nized that It was nothing whatever save a machine through which to register the will of a few leading spirits of the party. The question is now presenting itself to many minds whether or not the na tional convention Is not destined to meet the fat© which befel the congressional caucus of the first quarter of thl3 cen tury. No intelligent person who read the proceedings of the Philadelphia conven tion, no matter how good a Republican he may be, can truthfully deny the state ment that that body was conducted and controlled throughout Its entire session by Senator Hanna of Ohio and the few men who enjoy his confidence in politics. It was in no sense and to no degree whatever a deliberative body. Indeed it did not pretend to be anything of the kind. The nominee of the party was al ready decided upon. The platform on which that candidate now stands was brought into the convention with the O. K. of Mr. Hanna placed upon it. It was adopted. Even if it was thought advis able by a few little marplots who had their own miserable schemes to advance to suppress portions of that platform, its adoption by the platform committee and by the convention Itself was none the less a mere prefuncttonary performance, gone through with as a part of the ma chine operation. In that convention everything was tim ed as by clockwork. The papier mache elephant had been ordered and built some weeks before the holding of the conven tion, with an Immediate view to the ex act use to which it was actually applied during the convention. Most of the work of the convention, as well as most of the enthusiasm displayed, was produced au tomatically. Everything was arranged to the small details, and the scene-shifting was done as plainly with the knowledge of the audience as It Is done in any thea ter In the land tonight In Kansas City the same control by a few men was apparent. Mr. Bryan's bust was made use of something after the fashion of the Republican papier mache elephant. The nominee's will was the supreme law, and the convention was lit tle more than the mere agency through which that will was registered. There was genuine enthusiasm there; and the proceedings of the convention proved the tremendous earnestness of the great body of the delegates. There waa a degree of genuineness and spontaniety in Kan sas City, of which there was not even the appearance in Philadelphia. As in the two great conventions, so it waa In the two minor bodies of Free Silver Re publicans and Populists. Within a few days the district court of Hennepin county decided that a nomi nating convention waa not an essential part of party political machinery and that the primary law now in operation in Min neapolis waa none the less valid because it did away with the nominating conven tion. In trade and social and fraternal organizations, the principle of choosing executive officers through medium of tho referendum system is coming into general vogue. The nominating convention is ev ery day being taken less seriously, even by the mass of people on whom it is ex pected to successfully impose the belief that it is their will and preference which is being recorded and that each delegate is a free-thinking and free-acting entity within the body. How soon the nominating convention will pass into the lumber room of politics into which the Democratic party sent "King Caucus" in the days of our great grandfathers it is not possible to say but it is quite apparent that the two last great national political conventions will operate to produce that result much sooner than any one had reason to expect it KXROPB ANO AMERICA IK CHITVA. Out of the mass of conflicting reports which come from China there remains apparent as the great fact of a strangely tragic situation, that the nations of Eu rope, which- have assumed the grave re sponsibility of seeking control of Chinese territory, have proven themselves totally unprepared for and utterly unworthy of the vast obligations which they assumed for their own purposes with reference to the future of the Chinese nation. They have been criminally derelict. Nothing" that they can do in the future will re store them to the good opinion of any student of the great problem of the East, which, within a few days, has loom ed up in such portentious shape before the civilized world. Bombast, such as the German emperor is reported as using in addressing th e imperial force sent to China, merely makes the danger and the shame of the THE ST. PAUL GLOBiS, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1900. situation all the more apparent. The Chinese people have evidently turned on those who would denationalize them, and even the united forces of Europe will find the undertaking no slight one of suppress ing the existing uprising, in case it la al lowed to sain, headway for some time to come. The latest dispatch received from China Indicates an Invasion by the Chinese of Russian territory. If this does not prove as groundless as almost all other dis patches received thus far, it will operate to seriously lessen the difficulty of the existing situation. At least one nation, and the one at that best qualified to deal with the prevailing disorder in China, will have secured a free hand, and will no doubt soon settle the question at least of the rights of Russia in China. War will be declared no doubt at once by Russia, and the cowardly inaction and mutual dread which is the immedi ate operating cause of the present trou ble will be at an end. It will not be long after such a declaration before the world will at least be in possession of seme au thentic information as to the extent and significance of the present Chinese re volt against European interference. Even in the present unsettled condi tion of intelligence, and even accepting as true the most serious reports that have yet been made public, there is no ground for any declaration of war or for even military aggression on the part of this nation toward China or the Chinese peo ple. There Is nothing in the situation, so far as It has developed, to demand any co-operation on the part of the United States with the military plans and projects of European nations, say» so far as may be actually necessary to the protection of American life and property. The recent publication of the note of the state department to the European powers regarding the postion of this na tion in China was both wise and timely. If the position therein outlined Is rigidly adhered to the future availability of the United States in helping to bring order out of the existing chaos will be greatly increased. Th^re can be no possibility of the Chinese being left In ignorance ol the true nature of our position, and once that position is known and understood by those In authority among the Chinese, more will have been done to secure the safety of American persona and property In China than we can do by the aid of all the military and naval forces we can throw into the Orient. Until something more definite Is known as to just what was sought to be immediately accom plished In Tien Tsln In the undertaking in which so many gallant American sol diers lost their lives, it will not be pos sible to say whether the spirit of the note of the state department is actually being lived up to by our representatives in China. The Chinese seem to have become more proficient In the art of war since the day when they had trouble with Japan. It is barely possible that China is awak ening. The Chinese are as capable as the Japanese, and with new life the two na tions pitted against each other may put up a pretty stiff struggle, and one In which the Japs, even, with European help, will have more to do than in tfie former naval war. The allies find tho Chinese are armed now with more de structive weapons than stink pots. W. J. Bryan, when at home, in Lin coln, Neb., lives in a cottage modestly painted in yellow (gold color), with trim mings of Indian red. It bears the num ber 1625 in the street.

A~ change of bill will occur at the Grand tonight, and local theater goers will have an opportunity of seeing tho Boston Lyric company In Richard Stahl's entertaining comedy-lyric, "Said Pasha." "Said Pasha" has always been noted for the humor It contains, and it provides the two leading comedians, Kunkel and Henderson, almost unlimited fun-making opportunities. Miss Josephine Stanton, the leading prima donna, and Miss Ber tha Davis have excellent opportunities. The ensemble numbers of the opera are very pretty and the chorus is said to ap pear to excellent advantage. The only matinee of "Said Pasha" will be given Saturday. "The Jilt," the drama selected as the opening bill for the return viait of the Valentine Stock company to the Grand next week. Is conceded to be one of the most entertaining plays ever born of the pan of Dixon Bouccicault. It la a story of English life, introducing a variety of characters, with a love theme underly ing the plot, the working out of which includes a great horse race scene and other features of striking interest.

Fully Fifty Thousand People Were In Attendance. LONDON, Jufy 18.—Fully 50,000 persons attended today's meetings of the world's convention of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, the special fea ture of the programme being the delive ry of messages from the churches. Rev. Hugh Hughes, president of the Wesleyan conference, said he conveyed from U0.000.000 Methodists of Great Brit ain a desire to form an alliance with every true soklier or Christ. Rt. Rev. Mandel Crelghton, of London, extended to the Christian Endeavor so ciety the heartiest welcome of his dio cese, and assurances of the sympathy with this work of the large body of Christians he represented. Dr. Parker, o f the City Temple, urged American Christian Endeavorers to nom inate Rev. Francis E. Clark and Rev. Charles M. Sheldon for the highest offi ces in the United States, as Christian men should be at the head of things. The United States ambassador, Mr. Jo seph H. Choate, and the archdeacon of London sent sympathetic messages. The afternoon meeting was devoted to national rallies, which were character ized by intense enthusiasm. The im mense crowd In attendance made the grounds almost impassable, and a water famine added to the Intense heat of the day, caused many women to faint. President Clark received a cordial let ter from United States Ambassador Jo seph H. Choate, which was followed by cheers-for the ambassador. Germany, France, Holland, Belgium and Switzerland held an International rally, which President Clark attended. Afterward Mr. Clark called the conven tions attention to the fraternity of France and Germany. Revs. Waddell, of Iowa; Spooner, of Massachusette; Straber. of Baltimore; Boyer, of California; Mrs. Clark and Bishop Walker were the principal speak ers. After the state calls, to which a score of delegations responded, there was five minutes' devotional services, conducted by Floyd Tompklns, of Philadelphia. The entire audience then joined in sing- Ing "America." Meantime a number of overflow meet- Ings were held out of doors. A final rally was held tonight. : Two meetings devoted to a "roll call of the nations," and conducted by Dr. Clarke and Secretary Baer, closed the proceedings this evening. When the name of the United States was reached the congregation arose and sang "Amer ica." When Dr. Clark reached the name "Hungary" there was no response. "Is no one here hungry?" he asked, and the delegates, bearing in mind the insufficient catering, broke out into hear ty laughter. Sheffield was selected as the meeting place of the convention In 1901, and Man chester in 1902. «w CAUSED. UNPLEASANTirESS. Differences Ajuons Daughters of Revolution. PARIS, July 18.—An unpleasant differ ence among the members of the Society of the American Revolution, now in Par is, Is made public today through a letter from the Countess Spottlswood-Mackln, published in the exposition edition of the New York Times. In this letter the coun -1 tess withdraws the reception which she says was offered by her during the last annual convention of the society at Washington, to be given in Paris during the exposition. The countess said she renewed the Invi tation at the meeting of the New York chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Recently Bhe asked Mrs. Daniel Manning What date had been fixed for the reception^ and was told that the invitation had never been accepted. Coun tess Spottiswood-Mackin therefore prints the letter to justify herself before the members of the society. In the course of an Interview, the countess hints at dissatisfaction between the officers of the national society and the New York chapter, and It la said that is the reason for the non-appear ance at Paris of New York's regent, Mrs. Donald McLean, who Is also an appointee of President McKinley. Mrs. Daniel Manning expressed regret at the publication of the letter, but de clined to be interviewed. -«. DEVOTED MRS. PEARY. Personally Supervised Storing of Cargo on Relief Ship. SYDNEY. C. 8., July 18.—The Pear? relief steamer Windward returned to Sydney today and took supplies, Mrs. Peary personally superintended the storing of the larger part of the cargo. The Windward will probably sail on Friday. —— m Gov. Roosevelt in C'taJcaj?o. CHICAGO, July 18.—Gov. Roosevelt was entertained by Senator Hanna at lunch eon at the Chicago club. Mr. Payne, of Wisconsin, and Stewart, of Illinois, were also in the party. Gov. Roosevelt spent the remainder of the afternoon in his apartments recuper ating from a week's travel and hand shaking. At 5 o'clock he entered a clos ed carriage and drove unobserved to the Van Buren street station, where he boarded a Lake Shore train for New York. But few persons recognized the gov ernor as he rushed through the crowd, and there was no demonstration. Idaho Republicans Nominate. BOISE, Idaho, July 18.—The Republican state convention today nominated the fol lowing ticket: Presidential electors, Sen ator George L. Shoup, Judge W. B. Hey burn, J. Wooton;'.congress, John T.

Many distinguished men In the state and nation were present. Rev. Ilr. William Baiter, an aged friend of the deceased, and Rev. R. F. Hulbert, pastor of the ehurcb., conducted the services. Hon. Thomas Hedges, member of con gress from the first district, delivered an eloquent eulogy. He spoke of Senator Gear's boyhood, journeying into the un known West, when he bravely began to carve out a name and fortune. His honesty and Integrity and loyalty were dwelt upon as predominating features in his life. Patent Of lice Report.

'"'Yes, sir." "And, do you hear? Take this packet of papers around to Perm & Ink's and ask 'em what they mean by sending me such a blotted piece of work." "Yes, sir," and Jim, evidently preferring the snow-freighted air and slippery side walks of the outer world to the close little law office, darted oft like an arrow out of a bow. Mr. Perkins took out a fresh bundle of quill pens and a quire of legal foolscap and began to work In good earnest, when, all of a sudden, a tap came to his office door. "Come In," said Mr. Perkins, In a voice that sounded considerably more like "Clear out," and a young lady entered, dressed In currant-colored merino, with a little plumed hat and a neat-looking flat satchel on her arm. "I haven't anything to give," said Mr. Perkins, sternly. The young lady sat down uninvited, and then Mr. Perkins saw that she was very pretty. "I was not begging, sir,," she said. "May I ask, then, what wa3 your busi ness?" said Mr. Perkins, more frigidly than ever. The young lady took a parcel from her bag. "I don't want to buy anything," said Mr. Perkins. "I was not selling, sir," said the lady. "Please explain your business at once," said he, tartly.' "I have no time to spare." "Please allow me to do so, then," said the young lady. "I was soliciting sub scriptions for " "I don't want to subscribe," hastily In terrupted Mr. Perkins. "How do you know whether you do Or not," Inquired the young lady, with some spirit, "until you have seen the work, at least?" Mr. Perkins smiled p. little. She was brusque, but he didn't altogether dislike that. And, besides, she was decidedly ; original. "Because there have been at least three of your craft before you this morning," said he, "all selling 'Illustrated Lives of Great Men." " "But mine Is quite different. Mine ls> 'Careers of Famous Women,' with steel plate engravlngß," persisted the young lady. "Your business 1b overcrowded," Bald Mr. Perkins. "No; you needn't take the trouble to show me the book. "Why don't you do something else?" "Will y6u tell me what?" said the young lady, despairingly. "Will you help me to get anything whereby I may support myself?" "What can I do?" "That Is what everybody says," she an swered, "and between you all I should starve. You are a lawyer. Will you give me some law copying?" "Can you write a clear and legible hand?" Mr. Perkins asked. The young lady sat boldly down at a desk by the chimney place. "I'll show you what I can do," said she. Mr. Perkins looked over her shoulder as she wrote, In a quaint, distinct style, the words: "My name la Amy Archdale and I want to earn my own living." "Amy Archdale," repeated Mr. Per kins. "Rather a romantio name, Isn't It?" "I had no hand in naming myself," re torted Miss Archdale, "so I can't Justly be held up to blame in that matter." Mr. Perkins looked meditatively at her for a second or two. "I should think you might teach," said he. "I did try it," said Miss Archdale. "I was governess in a private family." "And why did you give it up?" "Is thi3 a catechism?" said Miss Amy, smiling. "Well,- I have no objection to answering. Do you want me to tell you the plain truth?" "Certainly." "Well, then, it was becaupe my lady employer did not like to have her grown up son address me with common polite ness. Perhaps she thought i was endeav oring to fascinate him, but she was en tirely mistaken." "Oh!" said Mr. Perkins. "Please write down your address." "Are you really going to give me some copying to do?" she asked eagerly. "I am going to try you." For the first time the tears came Into her eyes. "I'll try my very best—indeed, I will." she faltered. "For—l don't mind telling you now—l haven't got a single sub scription, and I was so discouraged. And so Miss Amy Archdale walked off with a red-tape-tied parcel of papers un der her shawl. "If she does them well and promptly," said Mr. Perkins, In a sort of mental so liloquy, "there's no reason why I can't let her have some more work. If she doesn't It won't be the first case of female swind ling in New York. But she had a pretty, Innocent little face, too—hang it, I've half a mind to go to her address on the sly and see If she really is a deserving object of—charity, I was going to say. But It Isn't. She wants work, not alms. There's always somebody wanting some thing in this great, chattering Bedlam of a city of ours," added Mr. Perkins, irate ly, as he drove off two match boys, an apple girl'and a vender of pins and shoe strings from his doorstep. Mr. Perkins followed up his crochet and walked up to No. 6 Meassey street about dusk that self-same evening, heed less of snow and sleet. "Does a lady named Archdale live here?" he asked in the grocery which oc cupied the first floor. "Yea, sir, she do," the grocer's wife In terrupted, pushing herself before her hua band, "and a nice.hard-working yotfng lady she Is as ever breathed the breath of life, and pays her rent regular every Saturday night If she has to live on a cup of water and a crust. And if she's got any rich relation " "You mistake my purpose," said Mr. Perkins, coldly. "I am no rich relation —to any one." Yet the woman's testimony, coarse and rudely given as it was, unconsciously In fluenced him In Amy Archdale's favor. She brought the folios next day, neat, legible, and without blot or erasure, and Mr. Perkins gave her some more work. "You needn't bring It," said he. "I— I have business that way and I'll call for it myself!" "We haven't seen your Uncle Elleha lately, dear," said Mrs. Molyneux Martln to her eldest daughter. "Kate must work a penwiper for him, and you must em broider him a pair of slippers. It won't do to let him lose sight of his nearest relatives." "Ma," said Miss Katherlne, "it's a pity you discharged Miss Archdale so sudden ly, because she was so handy at fancy work." "And, besides," added Edith Rosabelle, "It really and truly wasn't her fault be cause Walter chose to make eyes at her!" "Don't use such vulgar expressions, my dear," said the mamma. "She was a pert, bold-faced thing, and would have eloped with your dear brother if she had re mained In the house another week. And I" told her so, pretty plainly, too. Who's that? The postman? Give me the letter at once, Edith Rosabelle!" "Somebody has sent us wedding cards," cried the youngest hope of the family of Molyneux Martin. "Open it, mamma, quick, and let us see whom they are from." Mrs. Molyneux Martin hastily tore open the envelope, and, giving one glance as its contents, fell backward with an hys terical scream. "Elisha Perkins!" she shrieked. "GS*is, It's your uncle. Alas! my poor, disin herited pets!" For Mrs. Molyneux Martin had educated her daugters in the full belief that each and every one of them was to be an heiress in the right of Uncle Elisha Per kins' money. "But, mamma, who's the bride—whom has^ he married? You don't tell us the name," persisted Katherine, who was en dowed with a goodly spice of Mother Eve's bequest "I don't know! I don't care!" screamed Mrs. Molyneux MaTtin, tapping the soles of her slippered feet on the carpet in a way that threatened a yet more violent attack of hysterics. "Pick up the cards, Kathle, and look," urged Edith Rosabelle. "Amy Archdale!" she read aloud. "Why, ma, it's the governess you dis charged! It's our Miss Archdale!" "The old fool:" shrieked Mrs. Molyneux Martin. "To go and marry a girl young enough to be his granddaughter! Well, that caps the climax!" "You forget, ma," said Edith Rosa belle, "Uncle Elisha's only two years old- . SUMMER GIRL CHAT. The Summer Mntdena of Three Periods Compared. New York World. "Yes, I know the summer girl of today, and I remember Tier grandmother ahd her greatgrandmother." said Charles L. Beach, for seventy years manager of the Catskill Mountain house. He is ninety three yeaT 3 of age—the oldest hotel man in the world—and for three-quarters of a century has studied the ever-fascinating "summer girl" in all her varying phases. "Now, I'm not going to say which wag the sweeter, the old-fashioned girl or the new. The young men have found both charming, and that is enough. There was no comradeship between the boy 3 and girls then. There had never been any talk about the equality of the sexes. The summer girl would sit contentedly among the old ladies, In their stiff black silk gowns and white kerchiefs, and sew dili gently on a piece of white embroidery, never Joining in the conversation unless she was asked a question. "Now, this young creature did not sud denly vanish from our midst. She mere ly gradually merged into the summer girl of today. Half a century ago there were some girls who, even with the disadvan tages of hoopskirts and high-heeled shoe 9, went in for outdoor sports. These girls were called tomboys. After a while they found a sedate outlet in croquet. "When the short-skirted bicycling young woman first came along she was voted masculine. But she would mount her wheel and go for a spin through the shady roads and come home with such a healthy color, as well as heal thy" "appe tite, that her critics became her admirers. That marked the beginning of the popu larity of the athletic girl. The summer girl of 1900 la an outdoor creature. She scorns to be hampered by long skirts o r feminine frills. She is tailor-made inde pendent and Joyous. While the new girl of ours is very different from the summer girl I knew as a boy, by a queer provision of Providence she is Just aa charming and Just as womanly. And we wouldn't exchange her for the old-fashioned tyne if we could." TRISIJUSG FOR GOWNS. Lateat Decree o« Fashion In Garni ture and Ornaments.

"Hold your tongue, you ungrateful, un dutiful daughter," ejaculated Mrs. Molyneux Martin. "I'll never speak to him again." But she did. Sober second thoughts convinced her that it was better to sub mit to the inevitable—and she was one of the first to call on Mr. and Mrs. Klisha Perkins in the elegant brownstone house that the lawyer bought and fur nished for his bride." And perhaps one of the most triumph ant moments of Amy Archdale" s life waa that in which she extended a gracious and patronizing greeting to the woman who had turned her out of doors scarcely" three months before.
