Cleveland denies that he was
about to farm out the new bond
issue to a pet syndicate, when he
was called down by congress. Per-
haps the reflection that his last is
sue cost the country 100000
more than was actually necessary,
through this farming process, may
have taught his excellency little
wisdom in method. All the same
it is we'll that congress is there to
prevent a repetition of so costly an
experiment. The time to look out
for the people and let the bond
purchasing syndicates look out for
themselves has come.

President Kruger, of the Trans
vaal, is old, but he is not in his
dotage. Men of his stamp and
those who are associated with him
are lovers of liberty and having no
reason to love British expressions
in the past are not likely to put up
with British aggressions in the
present. Those Beers are not the
first ones who have preferred liber-
ty to death and defied Britain in
SO doing.

between the great northwest
provinces of the Canadian Domin-

possible that the Alaskan boundary
question may figure, and that in a
way not anticipated by Canadian
John. The unexpected might hap
pen there, and set that line to the

SATURDAY, JANUARY IL, '9f

The new congressman from the
Twelfth Texas district is earning
the reputation Of one of the hard
est workers in the present house.
He is not making any fuss over it,
but those who know the quiet
methods OF Judge Noonan never
expected him to sound trumpet
before him. None the less is he
watching the corners, carefully
studying the questions at issue in
congress, looking out at every turn
for the interests of his constitu-
ents, and showing that he under
stood when he was sent to Wash
ington, that he was sent there as
the mouthpiece and representative
of the interests and industries Of
his district. Log rolling may not
be in his line, but he will do his
work all the more effectively that
it is done intelligently and by rea-
sonable appeals and representa-.
tions.
