To the Editor of the "Norte-Caisa Dany News."
Sir,—I write to congratulate you and send my thanks for your Editorial in last Monday's issue.
The humiliation which one must endure now for the action of their representatives in Peking exceeds that of the past four years, for then or before 1900 in May Some little excuse can be found, but now it seems none can be found for the utter follies of all the representatives in Poking who of course are bid to do so by their respective Governments. When the Emperor was imprisoned they all submitted, and it cost them two months of siege, and to do exactly the same over again is certainly inexplicable. The same result cannot be avoided as far as one can see now. They give up all line of guarded exit, Tientsin and all, and what is to prevent alike result, which is already openly being provided for with increased care ana duplicity.
You and all of us who have been watching things here for a generation seem to be of one mind about it. I trust you will not cease to present the facts, daily if possible, in as strong and clear light as you can, as in your last Monday's issue.
I have been inclined to blame you that from the beginning of the folly of the Allies in settling the matter you have not kept the humiliating outrage to China's best interest and that of the Allies, and of humanity's best interest more continually prominent in your every daly issue, But found a good excuse in the fact of your growing weary of warning and sounding alarm to deaf ews and ignorant contempt.
But still if the enlightened citizens of various Governments can do anything to save our Governments from such inexcusable and disastrous actions in the should, but Tean't cee how, But T trust face of the planest facts and history we a wail of indignation will continually appear in all your issues. I am citizen of the U. S., the most inexcusable. Huping for the best, Tam, etc., Cuas. Leaman, Nanking, 5th February.
