CARL SCHURrS POSITION.

HIS LETTER TO SECRETARY GAGE PRO¬

VIDES ARGUMENT AGAINST BRYAN.To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: Mr. Schurz's open letter to Secretary Gageglves more food for laughter than anything he hassald. Every* one I hear flnds it ridlculoua in ltselfand damaging to Bryanism. Conceding, substan-tially, the correctness of the Secretary's statementthat upon Mr. Bryan's lnauguratlon (lf elected. hecould at once make Government bond payments insilver coln. Mr Schurz says, ln effect:What of that? Elect Mr. Bryan, and then be¬

tween December and March let the Republlcanspass a iaw which will prevent hls acting accordingto the silver theuries upcn which he -laimed elec¬tion. Open the door and admit the wolf.and thenpull hls teeth before he bites. Why object to tak¬ing a cup of polson when there is an antldote inthe house? Don't shoot the mad dog chasing yourchildren, for you can easlly find a "mad stone"that will cure the blte.Mr. Schurx evidently dld not reallre that he sald

also, ln effect. "The only safeguard against Bryan'scrlme wlth silver ls in the Republlcans." Yes?Why, then, elect Bryan, when the flrst duty of Con-gress must be to pare hls claws? Does not Mr.Schurx know that lt took three years under Mc¬Kinley to pass the present inefficient currency actestablishing the gold standard?He insulis common lntelligence by sugge--

that tt Bryan were elected ln November it wouldbe certaln." or possible. for Congress ln less thanthree months.December tc March 4.to pass amore strinsrent gold act.Nol With our ballots we wlll promptly shoot the

mad dog of Bryanism now. and bot her not at"mad stor_»s" or "antldotes" ln the shape of lro-probabie legislation.

HARD TO REALIZE MR. SCHURZ WROTE IT

To the Editor of The Tribune.Sir: The letter published in to-day"s T'tbiUM from

the Hon. Carl Schurs to Secretary Gag- ls a maryremarkable one. It ls hard to realize that the 81s-tmgulshed and talented gentleman should be re-

le for such a productlon.He impliedly admits that Mr. Bryan's adminis-

mtght pay the Government bonds in silver.but proposes to hold the Republican party respon¬slble because lt has a majority in the Senate andHouse of Representatlves and could pass an act to

pay the bonds ln gold be'ore Mr. Bryar. could beinaugurated. In other words Mr. Schurz says I am

opposed to Mr. McKinley and the Republican partyWhile I know it is right ln its flnanclal policy. ye*lt ls a party that should be defeated. and I hopeto see it dlsplaced by a party that I admit to be

wrong. and the party which I espouse should be

prevented from doing wrong by the party I ain

struggling to defeat.Tht ex-Secretary of the Interior and ex-"

States Senator has a short memory Indeed. t -r bsmust know that the strong and able free silverminority in the United States Senate by theof that body could defeat any proposed leg.of the Republican majority by prolongistruggle. The memorable extra session of UMcalled to repeal the Sherman act ls a strong re-mir.der of the dlfflculty of securing the legislatlonsuggested '-v Mr BcbUTB.Mr. Gage's note of alarm is tlmely. and since Mr

Brvan has flatly refused to say what his admir.is-tration would do ln regard to the payment of bondswhether lt would be ln silver or gold. it ls a

"DISPATCH" AND "DESPATCH."To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: Dr James A. H. Murray and the RevWalter W. Skeat are certainly "par nobilefratrum." lexlcographlcally considered, but when

they differ so absolutely aa to theof this word. which authority is a student of lan¬

guage to follow" In the Romanes lecture on "TheEvolution of Engllsh Lexlcography." delivered at

Oxford on June 22, 1900. Dr. Murray aays:

The word "dispatch," from Italian "dispaeeio,"-n in Engllsh uae for some two hundred and

flfty wars when Johnson's Dictlonary a;snd had been corre.-tly spelled by everybody (thatla by everybody but the illiterate. wlth "dls-Thla was Johr.son's own spelling both before andafter he published the dictlonary, as may be a**pin hls "Letters," edited by Dr. G.

AMERICA'S DUTY IN CHINA.

SHOULD STAND WITH ENGLAND TO MAIN¬TAIN INTEGRITY OF CELESTIAL EMPIRE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.Sir: The report that America la to follow the

lead of Russia in wlthdrawing her troop* fromPeking ia exceeding.y disquietlng from the stand-point of Englishmen who are desirous. above allthings, for the promotion of that good feilowshipbetween England and America whlch dunng thelast year or so has conduced so extensively tothe avoldacce of powerful coalitions inlmica! toboth countries.Can it be possible that the proposed Jolnt actlon

with Russia in wlthdrawing from Peking is aparty move to reoresent the Administration asantaganlatlc to Enaiand: Such an Idea has beenadvanced. but ls surely undeserving of credence.for the friendshlp of England ls worthy bettertreatment than to be played wlth like a sbuttlecoeh,according to the political exigencies of the hour.Wc uld lt not better serve the electloneeringpurpose to come out boldly with a stateme-Sm___liau ar.d English forces will act unltediy inrestoring order in China and in establishing andmaintalnlng a stable government?

It comes rather properly to inquire of those whocavii at closer relatlons with England. What other
