Jameson became one Of his most trust

popular among the natives, through

from Johannesburg. and. after sharp

In IsT7. when the Beers found that
they were being oveTrun By adyentur-

ing Germany to establish a professor

Great Britain annexed the country:
This caused irritation IN Germany. and
the rebellion OF the Beers In 1850 had
the moral support OF Germany.
In acquiring q colony in Southwest
Africa, Germany desired the harbor at
walhsch Bay. England declined 70

In extending British influence TO the
north the South Africa Company came
IN conflict with German Interests In
East Africa, and there was further ir-
ritatIon.
England's aim with her foothold In
South Africa Is to control as much Of
the continent as possible, and most par
tfculariy those portions rich In gold
mines. The scheme OF DR.. Jameson was
to oysrrun the South African Republic,
and, by popular vote. annex Il 70 the
British empire. Germany and other Eu-
ropean nations were opposed to this,

England will not permit German pro-

may involve all the European nations

American FEELING Towards England.

American Feeling Towards England.
The English press represents the Eng
Iish people as being surprised and graft
ned by the attitude of the. American
people towards England in this hour OF
her trial and seeming isolation. It
seems 70 have been thought that We
would embrace the opportunity to put
on the pressure and Try to add to Eng
lands troubles. All this proceeds from
a misconception of the feeling and the
purpose Of this country.
50 far as England's Interests and ours
clash, we are for our own. Where Eng
land has seemed TO be reaching for more
territory on this continent we are
against her. There is. however. no de-
sire In this country to act ungenerously
towards England in any matter. We
do not wish any conflict with her. We
prefer peace II that may be maintained
with honor. as we hope and think 1t can
be.
II our English friends will bring
themselves to understand that we re-
gard the Monroe doctrine as OF as much
Importance TO US as they think the bal
ance Of power in Europe is to them. and
that we are Just as ready to defend our
interests MS they are to defend theirs,
they will be in better frame Of mind
than they have been to discuss matters
relating to this continent Nations as
well as individuals do well 70 under
staud each other and TO make rcasona-
BILE allowance for difference in points
OF view.
II our English friends understand us
better than they did month ago, that
IS a distinct gain for both countries and
contributes to the preservation of those
peaceful relations which Americans
would regret to see broken.

Chicago Record: 81 don't know what
will happen next" said the photOgra-
pher.
He was talking of the changes in the
styles Of photographs.
You remember, don't you" he said,
"of the time when all photographs were
OF the ordinary cabinet size, fitting into
the regulation album anywhere in the
country"
Then we had the craze for panels.
That came in when It was the fashion
for women to be tall and willowy.
They wore tight skirts and tight sleeves
and made themselves as thin as posi-
bic, and the only way to photograph
one OF them without wasting lot OF
space was to have the picture at least
twice as long as It was wide. Those
panel pictures never could be put into
an album, 30 they had to be set up
on pianos and tables, TO become worn
and fiy?specked.
wow we've gone TO another extreme.
The style nowadays II to have bust

OF big sleeves. Il must be wider than II
Is high. We have come back to cabinet
size, but, Us you see for yourself, We
have to mount the photographs the
broad way Of the card so us to get in
the sleeves.
THE sleeves are becoming larger and
larger. and when a woman comes up
here to be photographed she always
wants the sleeves TO be made as prom
inent as possible. OF course, these
broad pictures are very swell at pres
ent, but In ten years from now we will
laugh at the big sleeves as an extra
vaGance OF fashion, Just as we now
make fun Of hoop-sklrtS or those old
fashioned FLASHED vests.

wIlEELIao, JANUARY 10, 1893.


The news that the Morgan bond syn
dIeate has formally dissolved Is not
surprising. since such result Of the
Presidents action in issuing q popular
Ioan can has bean expected from the
start
Mr.. Morgan's explanation OF the cir
cumstances Of the formation Of the syn
dieate. while Il contains little that the
public was not already aware Of Is an
interesting contribution to the history
Of the whole affair. Its most signih-
can't feature Is the last paragraph. in
which Afr. Morgan, after all his recent
predictions that the cali would not meet
with ready response, declares that
there Il now no doubt In his mind that
the loan win be q success.
This admission. in connection with
his own letter 70 the President. in which
he manifested a doubt that bonds could
be foated without the aid OF the syndi-
cate, ahows that even 50 great hnan-
cier as 9fr. Morgan can be mistaken re-
gnrding the resources and patrtotism OF
the people OF this country.
The developments also go TO show
that those newspapers that were 20
freely predicting that the effect OF the
administration call would be the final
triumph OF the syndicate. were very
wide from the truth.
There Is no doubt. and never has been
any doubt. that the United States gov
eminent can dispose OF It's securities at
home, and that there is not now, nor
never was any necessity for dark Ian
tern deals with syndicates, by which
these securities are disposed OF at far
below their value, to the injury Of the
nations credit and the enrichment Of
favored individuals.
II Is more than probable that this
country has witnessed the last OF such
shady transactions as that OF last Feb
ruary, and for which President cIsve-
land win be held responsible by the
people.

Democratic National CONVENTION.

II we are to accept all the confident
predictions. the next Democratic ma
tionaI convention win be held in New
York, Chicago. st Louis, Cincinnati
and possibly Louisville. The national
committee meets to-day 10 hear the elo-
quent champions Of all the sure win
ners.
No statement is made with more con-
fidence than that which undertakes to
speak Mr.. cleyeIand's preference. He
wants the convention held in New York.
so that II he cannot get the nomination
for himself he may hand 1t over to Mr..

Those Of US who are serenely far away

piclou that somebody is putting out

gathering strength in the national COM
mittee. 1t seems TO be the field against

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 5.-The
Press to-day prints a letter from Clara
Barton on the Armenian question. She
states that the inst appeal for the Red
cross to act came from the missionary
boards OF ConstantinopIe. To this TWO
conditions were made. that the re-
quest come from the people Of the en-
tire country, and that sufficient money
should be realized. The hrst was COM
nIled with and the national committee
guaranteed sufficient funds. The In
ternational COMMITTEES Of Geneva, ON
ctai head Of all the Red Cross treaty ma
lions having no objection. preparations
for sailing were made. The American
Red Cross had no part in raising the
money. its only part being to diStrto-
ute. Then came the objection from the
Turkish government. Miss Barton de-
cIares that that government is not an
tagonistic 10 the Red Gross as such,
but objects 10 the distribution OF for
eIRn relief onentireiy different grounds,

statement that the Red Cross iA ag-

Pittsburgh brought out some good
takers who knew what they were talk
ing about One Of the speakers dweIt
on the determination which had been
practieed against the Ohio river. There
may be several reasons why this has

IS that the people OF the Ohio valley
