BEHIND THE THRONE.

iHeie are some features OF the
Rhodes-Jameson Transvaal raid that
are inexplicable as seen from the sur
face. Here was a republic in Sout,
Africa, Independent Of England and
its dependencies save as to some re-
strictions in it's relations with sur
rounding tribes, and, perhaps, with
foreign nations. Adjoining it were the
possessions of the South African COM
pany, an organization chartered by
parliament to occupy, develop and gov
ern the territories it might subdue in
South Africa. In a time of profound
peace In that region and between the
different colonies, Col Jameson. an Of
ncer OF the chartered company, organ
ICES an armed force and marches to at
tack the Transvaal republic Mr..
Chamberlain, secretary for the col
onies, wires him an order to desist and
return. 1t reaches jameson as he is
preparing to resume his march: he
reads it, puts it in his pocket, orders
march on johannesburg
The sequel needs no repetition: the
gathering Of the Beers to repeI the
invasion, the utter defeat and capture
OF Jameson, his surrender by Kruger
to the British authorities for trial. the
resignation Of the premiership of the
South African company by Rhodes and
the shipment to England of Jameson
What is inexplicable is that this most
gr1evous offense against a peaceful neo-
pie is not promptly and severely pun
lshed. No doubt remains but that
Jameson went on the ride a poet Ia,u-
feate has sung a paean for. inspired bv
Rhodes and the officers of the char
tered company. And yet Mr.. Rhodes
goes to England, is feted and lionized
and sent back to Cape Colony to pro-
mote the development of Rhodesia.
Nothing Indicates that Jameson will
receive any punishment whatever for
his audacious act and open defiance of
Mr.. Chamberlain
Inc explanation lies under the s11r
face. It is found in the membership of
the chartered company, in its list of
stockholders. 1t is found in the i'm
mense wealth that their investments
have brought these stockholders. IT is
found in the same conditions that en-
4bl66 the Fast
tort from the natives of that province
the vast wealth of it's people. If Mr..
D1llon's demand in parliament for a
list of these stockholders is complied
with, of which there is no probability.
the reasons will appear 1t would then
be seen that the beneficiaries of the nro-
posed overthrow and annexation of the
Transvaal would be members of the
royal family, members of the nobility.
members of parliament and. the house
OF lords, officers Of the law, even judges
of the courts. The stock, with it's fat
dividends, has been a lure that has
drawn into the interests of the connanv
the men influential in England. while
1t has made them sympathetic with the
objects of the raid and Indifferent to

FACTS known, 1T is plain why Cecil

oNEY BAD CASES OF -CORNs.

Some things that have excited more
or less surprise and comment are made
plain by a news dispatch from Boston,
which says that bill is pending before
the legislature of Massachusetts, which
provides for the creation of a state
! board of chiropodists, with power. to
issue licenses and to prosecute persons
practicing the art whose qualifications
are not duly. certified. to by the board
Not only are the scientific chiropodists
enlisted in its behalf, but leading citi-
zens of the Hub are pushing. it, and the
startling fact is disclosed that more
than 900 Bostonese are. afflicted, with
Eeorns which demand, with imperious
aches, treatment by these professionals.
This explains several things. There is
/ Senator Lodge, who, while merely a
scholar and before his entry into poll
+ tics, was known as rather mild-man-
nereds man for Boston, but who, since
his period Of adolescence passed and he
migrated into politics, has displayed a
temper, pungency, an ultraism, a
disposition to attack anything and
everything, that has been hitherto un-
accountable. lis plain now. It is just
a bad case of corns. Lodge is one of
the prey of the chiropodists, and, de-
prived in Washington of their soothing
manipulations, suffers the agonies that
only corns and teeth can inf1ict. 49,.
Then there is the venerable and gar
rulous Hear, whose irascibility we have
ali been attributing, charitably to his
advanced years and encroaching anil
ity. 1t is nothing of the kind. 1t is
simply his corns, cultivated by the sci
kentifie chit opodfsts of Boston; and neg
lected until they rebel in torture during
his absence in Washington. Then, too,
there is Bartlett, the famboyant. We

FALL OF FANCY PRICES.
Society Reducing Cost of Boxes to the
Horse Show

New York. Nov. 3.-The falling off in
prices for horse show boxes was the sub
ject of mild comment today. Some peo-
pie do say that yesterdays sale means
that society is just a wee bit hard up this
trip. The probabilities are that for few
years past a very rich and new element
has been rushing into New York buying
up everything in sight right and left,
and placing fictitious and inflated values
upon commodities in general and horse
show boxes in particular.
Now that the scramble is somewhat SUBJ
siding, prices are now going back to their
old conservative values. The show viii.
no doubt, be Just as big as it was last
year. 1t should not be implied that the
falling off in spirit and values means a
decrease of pride in the horse show or q
slumping of social interest Tight money,
general hard times and the uncertain con-
ditiOnS of politics and finance are at the
bottom of The cut rate for choice boxes.
