Sentiment at Johannesburg.

JOHANNESBURG, Transvaal.-German
spectators have circulated petit
ton TO President Kruger assuring him
of loyal support, but only twenty signatures
were obtained. This action has created an
exceedingly bitter feeling against the Ger
mans. At a mass-meeting of Australians
here, the chairman proposed to raise
mounted and foot companies. The atten-
dance at the meeting sang God Save the
Queen and the Rule Britannia" Feeling
has been greatly stirred by the appearance
of number Of Beers riding about the
streets. At the Standard Theater on Sat-
urday night. during the performance Of
"Othello'' to a crawded house. the band
played a German volkslid. The music was
drowned by a continuous torrent of groans,
hootings and hissings. The band then
played God Save the Queen and the
audience rose and cheered vociferously till
the last strain.

yearning to admit the Citlander to the
franchise, If only they will refrain from de-
manding 1t. is a joke which the lapse OF
years has deprived of its SAVIOR. The de-

and the danger increases every day II Is
withheld. In Cape Colony, and We believe
in the Orange Free State also, sympathy Is
felt for the Uitlanders. The latter cannot
now recede, and their only danger Is from
themselves" The article bitterly attacks
the mining millionaire, j. b. Robinson, and
says: AT the supreme moment, when the
last chance of peacefully obtaining their
just rights hangs I'm the balance, and wnen
the split between capital and labor Is one
thing that may enable President kruger
to continue swapping his fingers at the Uit-
landers' claims, Mr.. Robinson loyalty as
ssts to foster the split"
The Berlin correspondent Of the Daily
News says: II have reason to doubt the
correctness of the statement that President
Kruger has offered Germany a protector
ate over the Transvall. Such step would
imply a violation of conventions with Eng
land"
In its financial article the Times says:
1.-The outcome of the crisis in the Trans
vaal Is bound to be an improved admins
tration there, and it therefore behooves
holders of African shares to keep cool and
not TO throw them away in panic. 1t is
stated that President Kruger has tele-
graphed to Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain pledging his government that the Beers
shall temporarily adopt passive attitude
toward Dr. Jameson's force on its arrival
outside of Johannesburg. An important
feature of this arrangement between Mr..
Chamberlain and President Kruger is that
all responsibility for hostility will rest with
the chartered South Africa Company.
Great Britain, through the Colonial Secre-
tary, has offered to arbitrate the trouble
in the Transvaal, but 1t is feared that the
serious consequences are to be apprehended.

which the British government has to face.

ABOUT FLAG MAKERS
AND FLAG LAWS


Galveston News.
Some Chicago manufacturers
Of flags worked on the patriot
ism of members of the Illinois
legislature until they were per-
suaded to pass a law requiring
at least one "Old Glory" to be
displayed upon every school
house in Illinois during school
hours. The trustees of the uni
versity of the state, instead of
buying a flag for every build
ing, including the smaller out
houses, purchased one banner
and let it rear and pitch and
pop in the breeze out on the
campus. This aroused the in
Edignation of the flag factory
and the states attorney
found it popular to recommend
the Indictment of the trustees
who had thus sought with q
high band to cut off the bread
of labor and throw ice water
upon the patriotism of the
sountry. The Indictment was
duly found and the criminals
were arraigned before Judge
Wright at Champaign. The
court declared the law uncon-
stitutional and void. The Chi
cago Inter Ocean says: "The
judge administered severe and
deserved rebake to the states
attorney for permitting the
grand jury to find the indict-
ments. a few weeks ago a sim
liar piece of asininity in Nor
gan county was Tebuked, the
judge in that case merely quash
ing the indictment" The deeis
ion is certainly hard on the
flag factories, in which coolies
of money have been invested,
because Of this provision and
promise of the state. The flag.
makers should apply for re-
endorsement and pensions.

THE TEMPORARY GUARDIANSHIP.


The Democratic national convention
meets today. BY a vote of % to % the
Democratic national committee has Sc
lected Senator David B. Hill, of New
York, to be temporary chairman. He
was selected not because Of his skill as a
parliamentarian or for his erninence in
the party, though he is both skilled in
parliamentary law and is eminent in
his party, but because he is in favor of
the gold standard and still has many
personal friends among the silver men.
When his selection was determined
upon, Delegate c. S. Thomas, of Colo
rado, gave notice that a minority re-
port would be presented to the conven-
ton. That was formal notice that war
between the silver men and the gold
men in the convention had been de-
clared. There is every reason to be-
lieve that it will be bitter and recent
less.
The usual rule in national conven-
tons has been to accord to the ma
tional committee the selection of a
temporary chairman, and to bring in
l
ton and the naming CT another as a
candidate for the position is without
precedent, so far as we know. But the
conditions that confront the Demo-
cratic party this year are without
precedent. The national committee is
opposed to the overwhelming majority
of the party on the paramount issue be-
fore the convention. When it has Sc
lected a temporary chairman that
chairman heretofore has been in har-
mony with the majority of the conven-
ton and the bringing in of a minority
report would have been an absurdity.
The gold men having thrown down the
gauntlet the silver men should and will
take it up. They should treat the gold
men courteoQsly and accord them all
their rights, but they having declared
war they should be made to know that
their rights are those of war, and no
thing more. Metaphoricaly speaking,
they should be made to feel the iron
heel Of the conqueror. The silver men
should take the temporary chairman
ship, take the committees, take
everything. In their efforts to do this
they will be met by no contemplate
foe. What will they do IL the national
committees temporary chairman re-
fuses to recognize a silver man to move
the adoption of the minority report?
II is not beyond the range of possibii-
ties that Senator Hill will attempt to
apply in Democratic national conven-
ton the methods that Speaker Reed
applied in q Republican house Of repre-
sentatives.
