Who better than the people of the
counties whose homes are threatened
whose commerce is under ban, whose
lands are menaced by descending
sands, clay and gravel, whose indus
tries are involved in every rise of the
waters-who better than these could
consider these questions? How could
these matters be mingled with the
plans for harbors on the coast, or di-
luted by considerations concerning
breakwaters here and there. How can
any reasonable intelligence appreciably
broader than that of the Express"
possibly conceive OF such activity and
public spirit by those who live in the
forefront of danger and damage to
river channels being considered local,
sectional and exclusive?
We can readily account for the want
of breadth of intelligence on the part

river and harbor considerations in this
instance sufficiently accounts for its
blundering. While its disclaimer of
jealousy and sectionalism must be ac-
cepted, and is with graciousness, it is
amusing to note that almost cheek by
jowl with such disclaimer. in speaking
OF a proceeding before an official board

The young girl suffers, bodily and men-

comes so gradually it is attributed to
some outside cause. There is undue
WEAKNESS, unexpected pain, unreason-

symptoms are simply protests of the

The dispatches report that American
citizens are being badly treated in Ha-
vana, and that besides one having been
shipped off to a penal colony, where
cholera prevails, others have been
robbed and beaten and prosecuted. If
this is half-truth our Government has
sufficient to warrant it in proceeding
at once to call Spain to account and in
sending a ship of the navy to Havana
to insure the safety of such Americans
as reside there. We can well understand
that the Spanish in Cuba dislike the

Not at all SO with river treatment. On
the contrary our river problem involves
factors that must be treated alone, dis

from diversion. new delta formation
two hundred miles from where
their waters now discharge into tidal
flow, and to consider that momentous
question involved in the artificial de-
position of mining debris in the
streams. In the meantime, to stay
destruction while the examination pro-
ceeds, to clear the rivers of dangers to
boats from overhanging trees and
threatening snags, some money is
asked that while the engineers prose-
cute their inquiry and surveys the
rivers may not be closed. the threat

waters be diverted across country.

The Spirii of the Beers.


How Is It, Englishmen ask themselves,
that these rude up-country Beers can thus
infiict such severe defeats upon first-rate
European troops? The reasons are not in
reality very far TO seek. Every Boer In
the republics beyond the Orange river is
animated by the strongest possible attach
ment for his country. These republics
were won from barbarism some fifty years
ago. after hard fighting with Moselikatse,
father Of the late Lobengula. and his fero-
cious Zulu hosts. Before the fights in
which they defeated Moselikatse and drove
him beyond tho Limpopo the emigrant
Beers. Just then quitting Cape Colony,
had suffered cruel fnassacres at the hands
OF these Matabele warriors. In Natal
whittier some OF them first trekked be-
fore crossing the Orange. 500 OF the men,
women and children of these migrating
farmers had been murdered in single
night and day by the Zuius of Dingaan
The emigrant Beers took a terrible re-
venge up'n Dingaan for that inhuman
massacre -Four hundred OF them in laa-
ger defeated 1000 OF Dingaan's choicest
warriors with the loss OF 1900 slain. The
Blood river In Natal still bears testimony
by its name TO the stream Of Zulu blood
which upon that Sunday morning battle
In 1888 mingled with It's flow.
Is II TO be wondered at that after such
struggles and such suYerings the Beers
OF the orange free state and Transvaal
cling so tightly 10 their adopted countries
and that their determination f. 10 retain
their Independence al all costs and all baz-
ards? English settlers and English states
men have never. think. fairly gagged the
spirit that animates these South African
Dutch farmers. / am not little Eng
lander by any means. l always look upon
the surrender after tuba as a fatal mis-
take, and consider that Sir Evelyn Wood
With his strong force should have been
aiowed TO put matters square. ] believe
that the future Of South Africa lies mainly
with the British. and that some dav we
shall see strong confederacy OF South
African states and colonies under British
supremacy.
