and that they sanction no measure
that would tend to injure English in
terests. This no doubt is the case in
other States at the Northeast. but. un-
fortunately, it is not so among the bar
barians of the West: each one is so un-
reasonable as to insist upon his ballot
representing his own views. In this
uncivilized region candidate for the
Senate cannot fix the boards of trade
OF his State and calmly go back to
Washington with the comfortable as
surauce that he has made his calling
and election sure. He has to reckon
with the plain. common people. and
please them fairly we'll. before he can
feel entirely secure. This is a very
provoking and undignificd business,
but it will have to be endured until
suffrage is restricted to boards of trade.
But wha. the people of this State are
anxious to know is, the nature of the
goldbug doings their Senators are ac-
cused of. They have been waiting pa
tieutly for the promised exposure that
was to appear in the Sun. but have
seen nothing of it as yet. Perhaps II
is a scheme on the part of that paper
to increase its circulation in this State.
We see these Senators are charged
with frequenting Wall Street. We
take it that Wall Street is a public
highway, and that any American citi-
zen has the right to pass through it il
he finds the scenery to his mind and
the temperature cheering. IF the San
means that our Senators have been TAX
ing a shy at the Stock Market, we'll
bet dollars to dewberries that they
came out ahead. Well back old Mis-
souri, against the earth! Their constit-
uents would rejoice to see their Sena-
tors break the Street and bring the
proceeds home with them. That
would only be turning the cow the
other way; but the moment they, by
their votes, betray their people, they
will hear something drop. Meantime
they may talk free coinage with their
tongues in any position they may
choose; that is their affair.

The State Treasurer last Saturday
filed with Gov. Stone his report of the
transactions of the treasury department
for the year 1895. The report shows
healthy financial condition Of the
State, rejecting credit upon the entire
State administration. From it the fol-
lowing interesting facts are taken:
Balance on hand January l, 1895.
$719. 9.725.43; receipts in 1895. So, ,761,-
S69.29. Total, $4. 4S1 ,594.72. The
disbursements during 1895 were $4.-
147, ,5SO.57. leaving a balance at the
close of business December 81, 1895,
of 1884, 4,O14.15. During the year the
receipts into the revenue fund were
$2,447, ,1O4.42: the receipts into the in
terest fund were s745, ,S39.s3; receipts
into the insurance department fund
were $28, ,936.69; receipts from the
Missouri penitentiary were $17S.767.-
80. The State 6 per cent. debt was
reduced during 1895 $527, 900; in a
word, the State treasurer paid off $277,-
900 more of bonds than was required
by the constitution, with money which
accumulated in the sinking fund. On
January, 1896, $4,000 additional 6
per cent. bonds were redeemed by the
State. The bonded debt of the State
is now but S.. 1884, 900, of which sum
only $34s, 900 draw per cent. the
remaining debt bearing 3! per cent.
During the year &c per cent. of the en-
tire appropriations made by the last
Legislature for two years were paid
out of the State treasury. During 1896
1897 900 of the 6 per cent. bonds Of
the State fall due, and will be prompt
ly taken in and cancelled.

Of the East India Company-wonld send
enough Englishmen into the country
to control it's policy, and on the ground
that immigrants were not wanted, as
the Beers wished to live their own life
in their way. The South African Com
pany finally concluded to conquer the
country by sending force into Boer
territory, which, with the assistance
of the English already there, would
accomplish that purpose; but, instead
of conquering the Beers. the whole
English force was captured in the first
battle. and the conspirators in Boer
territory did not get chance to strike
a blow. The Beers lost three or four
men and Jamison's forces nearly one
fifth OF their number. It seems good
craftsmanship counts for as much in
modern warfare, with modern weap-
ons, as it ever did.

In addition to the Monroe Doctrine,
which is an accepted principle in the
political creed of every true American,
the demands of justice in behalf of a
weak republic in this country as against
the unjust demands of a powerful mon
archy of Europe cry aloud for the
sympathy and intervention of the chief
republic of this continent. The great

The Boer War.

The Beers of South Africa leave the
Sympathy of every lover of liber-
ty in their struggle against British ag-
gression. In 1906 Cape Colony, a
Dutch settlement at the Southern ex.
tremity of the African continent, pass
ed under English rule. For a time the
English lived peacably with the Dutch
tion grew out of attempted interference
on the part of the English with the
domestic economy of their Dutch
neigh bors, which determined them to
treck or move to the north. So they
left their farms and improvements and
moved to the north, in order to enjoy
the freedom they coveted; where they
could live under their own laws amidst
their focks and herds, like Abraham
of old. They were deeply religious
people, and in this and their love OF
personal freedom, they resembled the
Puritans of this country. At the end
of their first pilgrimage they founded
the Republic of Natal. Here in few
years they were overtaken by the
English and their country placed un-
der the British flag, on the ground
that they were British subjects and
owed allegiance to the British crown,
wherever they might go. They again
trecked to the northeast where they
founded the Orange Free State, only to
be again followed by the English, and
have their government overthrown.
Then they moved to the north again,
beyond the Vaal river. Here also the
English followed them, and, having
fed over a thousand miles from Eng
lish rule, they resolved to flee no far
ther. On December the 18th, 1880,
they assembled in mass convention at
Heidelberg and took measurs, to re-
sist further encroachments by the Eng
lish. When the Beers went to the
town of Pot Chefstrom to get their
proclamation printed, corresponding
to our declaration of independence,
the first conflict took place and the
Beers won their first victory. Col.
Anstruther, with about two hundred
and fifty men, was met by force
of Beers at Bronkhorst Spruit. under
Paul De Boer, who told him that a
further advance would be regarded by
them as an act of war. Anstruther
replied that he had been ordered to go
to Pretoria, and that he intended to do
so. Each commander rode back to his
men, and the fight began. Within ten
minutes from the time the action COM
menced forty of Anstruther's men were
killed, eighty wounded. and every Of
6cer in the command either killed or
wounded. Anstruther, bodily wounded
himself, gave up the fight and surren
dered. At Lang's Mex, Ingogo, and
Majuba Hill, the English suffered ov-
defeat, not being able to
inflict any punishment of moment up
on their sturdy opponents. Being a
race of hunters aud accustomed to the
use of the gun from childhood. the
Beers made every shot tell. They as
coolly and surely picked off their ene-
mics as did our forefathers at Concord
and Bunker Hill.
When the South African gold fields
were discovered there was q great in
fux of immigrants. The tide soon
reached the Transvaal and flowed into
Boer territory. They refused to ad-
NIT these newcomers to citizenship,
on the ground that doing SO would
establish English supremacy,

ny-a company organized on the lines

side could put forward. There seems
to be united effort on the part Of the
goldites to entirely prevent the ques-
tion of finance from being discussed.
This course will not avail, for it is q
confession of defeat. After awhile
perhaps silver literature will be de-
MED the mails under plea for public
morality.
