a Policy of Conquest.

Tue war in the Transvaal is fresh
illustration Of the evils of conquest
1t is another instance, also, in which
one of Lord Beaconsheld's chicken
has not come home TO roost, as in Justice
it ought to have done, but has come to
perch upon the broad, but already heav-
iiy-burdeued shoulders of Mr.. Glad.
stone. A more unwelcome visitor
could hardly be imagined; for the pre-.
mier mnst now act as Judge in case
upon which he has once passed severe
sentence Of condemnation.
When in 1877 Lord Beaconsfield, then
premier of England, forcibly invaded
and annexed to the Cape Colony in
South Africa the republic of the
Transvaal, he only followed out the
old-time policy OF England and tho line
of his own purpose. But for all that,
to men with more conscience and less
greed for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. he did a
most unjust AMI upju.tifable thing
Nor did Mr.. Gladstone spare the lash
for it during the last electoral csr,-
paign.
The Beers of the Transvaal, an almost
purely agricultural people, contented,
peaceable and fairly prosperous, had
for thirty seven years maintained a
republic when Lord Beaconsfeld laid
his hand of conquest upon them. Going
ont as Dutch colony, they. carried
with them the spirit and purpose as to
independence and government which
have made Holland and the Dutch
republic famous in history. They re-
sisted, therefore, as we'll as they could !,
the English yoke, and they have never
rested quietly under it. The policy of
conquest, pursued further into Zulu
land, and the existing troubles in Ba-
suto land, served to precipitate the
Beers into an uprising They are now
making resolute struggle for inde-
pendence, and England is placed before
the world in the unenviable position OF
striving by force OF arms to maintain
unwilling and formerly free people,
who certainly come under none of the
rules by which England's conquests
and supremacy in savage lands have
been justified by her statesmen.
The news GENES at once that an ap-
peal made by Professor Harting, of
Utrecht university, in favor of the
Dutch settlers in the Transvaal, has
aroused great sympathy with the Beers
in Holland and other countries; and
that the English government has re-
solved to suppress the rebellion and
maintain its power. The Queen, in her
speech to parliament, declared that
British authority must be vindicated in
the Transvaal, and that plans of indie
pendence become at present impossible.
This certainly places Mr.. Gladstone in
an unpleasant position, since he must,
as head of the government, renew and
perpetuate what he has publicly stig:
matizsd an invasion without necessity or
excuse. The government arguments
doubtless is that British authority can
not be sur rendered in the Trsnsvaal
without weakening it in sll the colonies
of the Empire. Which is true enough,
but only goes to prove conclusively the
evil and wrong throughout of a policy
of conquest. subjugation and oppres-
sion.

What Shall We Do With Our
Daughters.

Don't teach them self-reliance. 1t is
some one else.
Don't let them learn how to make
bread. Their beaux might thing they
were not we'll bred.
Don't allow them to learn how to
mako shirts. 1t is better they should not
know. Then, when they are married,
their husbands can work twenty hours
day to get money with which to buy
ready made ones, while they knit red
dogs.
Above all things, don't fail to teach
them how to wear false hair, and if

bang her over the head.
Don't allow them to learn how to
make their own dresses. 1t is fashion.

Teach them that dollar is only one
hundred cents and don't amount to
much.
Don't let them learn how to cook.
Should they understand the cuisine
art, and know what is needed in fam
lily, the servant could not supply all
her relations with edibles.
Teach them to darn their neighbors
but not stockings.
Don't allow them to learn how to
sew on buttons; they might got needles
in their fingers.
Teach them to regard the money and
not the morals of their suitors,
Teach them none of the mysteries OF
the kitchen, the dining-room and the
parlor.
Teach them that the more ono lives
beyond his income. the more he will
save.
Urge them to 60 with incorporate
young men. 1t is convenient to have a
drunken husband, as the wife is en-
Rbled to take pin money from his
pocket while he is taking drunken
snooze.
Finally, teach them that God, who

George Eliot's Grave.

Edward King writes to The Boston
Journal q doleful picture of the earth
house of George Eliot. He says: AS
the funeral procession had not arrived
I joined the superintendent of the GEM
etery, who was going to the grave.
Were all behind he said; we had
no orders until the last minute, and we

superintendent, who appeared to take

came to u grassy slope in the new and
unconsecrated section of the cemetery.
Two thirds of the way up the hill there
was group of monuments, and close
beside one of them few workmen
were shoveling down burnt earth TO
make practical path for the mourners.

the grave, vault of brick built up with
difficulty in the sodden earth. A
stupid hind was bailing out the invading
waters. and laying bricks with re-
signed and patient method, which
made the scene doubly wretched. Oh,
grave! here was thy victory. I turned

OVER THE OCEAN.
Gladstone to Support Bradlaugh's Ap-
plication-Stll failing the Irish For In
timidation-Furthcr Particulars Of the
Wanna Ga1au}fv
ENGLAND.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-Labouchere, addressing
his constituents, stated that he had Glad
stones assurances that the government
would support Bradlaugh's applications to
take the oath.
The Times says it is not likely that Eng
land or any Euoropean state will be tempted
to meddle in the affairs of South America, but
such Intervention might be necessary If Euro
pean interests be affected. 1t must not be
imagined that European powers can acquiesce
in the very wide extension of the Monroe doc
trine implied in Blaine's dispatch. Intervention
for the protection of European interests is as
rightfully claimed by the powers as it is by
the United States for the protection of their
interests in China and Japan.
The st. James Gazette this evening saws:
There is nothing in Blaine's dispatches with
which 1t would be reasonable or profitable for
European governments to find fault, but there
Is much cause for reflection. Europe will
have in future to regard the United States as
having q foreign policy of her own. Although
that policy may only concern South America,
considering the ecommercialities between South
America and Europe, it may cross and confuse
the policy of European governments in ways
and to an extent now only family foreseen.
The Times says: The $4,000 required for
the monument to Dean Stanley will no doubt
be readily subscribed. The memorial will be
in fact rather international than national.
The Nelps, referring to Secretary Blaine's
dispatches to Ministers Hurlbut and Kill
patrick, says: "It is satisfactory to find that
the spread-eagleism of Blaine is disavowed by
the American press and people,"

Colton's special lull train left the Union
depot at 10 a m. yesterday as had been adver-
tised The train consisted of ten coaches,
which were all filed, mostly by ladies who
were glad to take advantage of the generosity
of the Coltons, and visit the wonderful glass
block free of charge, and share the benefit of
the more wonderful bargains offered there.
So great was the crowd that the vast army
Of employees were unable to attend to the GUS
toners promptly. This, however, will not
happen again, as twenty-five new clerks are to
be added to the army to-day.
The murmurs of surprise and delight which
passed from lip to lip as the beauty of the
building and goods, and the heretofore un-
paralleled low prices were fully understood by
the ladies, were ceaseless, and a more thor
oughly satisfied lot of people never were seen
together than returned to st. Paul last even
