The story that the Beers intend, on
the anniversary Of their victory over
the British at Majuba Hill. to proclaim
their independence Of England, pub
licIy denonncing the suzerainty which
Great Britain claims. is probably in
tended as an Offset to the announce
ment of decisive military operations by
John Bull in South Africa. We shall
now see how much the protection OF
Germany is worth to the valiant de-
scendants Of the Huguenots.

MKINLEY WAS RIGHT.

Five hundred and fifty millions of
money A half a billion of dollars in
gold offered by the people Of this coun-
try for bonds! What an awakening Of
the syndicate dickering administra-
ton. What a revelation Of reserve
power and Of Sequestered wealth. But
short time since the treasury author
tiles in Washington officially gave it
out that there were less than that
amount of gold within the realm, in
Guiding the reserve and all that the
banks and people held. and that even
that amount was probably an over
estimate by so much as nearly one
half IL is evident that had the loan
been placed before the people in a
simple form the bids would have been
doubled in number and nearly so in
amount Untold millions of gold which
have been driven into hiding by in
suspicious times and distrust of coudi
tons. would have been heard from if
the treasurer's offer had been a plain
and simple one of so many bonds for
so many dollars Every county, every
town, every township in the United
States has its private reserve Of per-
sonal holdings. Now it's all plain
enough that the Republican claim that
there would be no treasury troubles did
the revenues equal the expenditures, is
correct Major Mckinley is right in
declaring that there is gold enough in
the country, for all governmental pur-
poses, and that it would come to light
were there sufficient guaranty that it
could be profitably and safely invested.
A want of confidence in the party in
power, in its wisdom and in its patriot
ism, has driven a vast volume of money
into hiding.
The London dispatches giving credit
To the Cleveland administration for the
success of the popular loan is bOsh, or
ignorance. or worse, righteousness. 1t
was only after an overwhelming pres
sure upon the part of the public press
that Cleveland declared his syndicate
deal off, and ordered his secretary of
the treasury 10 try loan direct TO the
people. So the London dispatch which
says that it is an evidence of public
confidence in the financial policy OF the
Cleveland administration, has the
sound of fiddlededee.

LATE LAMENTED DIGNITY.

What if the United States senate has
lost its dignity? Dignity has not saved
this country from deplorahly abject
financial SubServiency 10 England; it
did not save the country from the fool
iSh and enervating tinkering with a
substantial tariff. The dignity of
stern-faced and frigid auSterity. of
bowling accession and pinkishly polite
protest, the dignity of the men who are
no stronger than the people from whom
they came. and no more lasting in Of
fetal permaency than the whim of the
people who sent them, has not curbed
the piggiSh propensitieS of monopoly:
has not quieted rhe financial unrest;
factories. Dignity. 81 highly Wanted
