Special Correspondence Of the Globe.
CAPE TOWN, Africa, Oct. 5.-Cape
Colony has fought its fight and won.
1t has emerged from one of the most
sanguinary conflicts in which its resi-
dents have been called upon to take
part. 1t has proved the superiority Of
the European over the black savage.
1t has placed the citizen soldier upon
a throne before which the world must
do homage.
The world in general has known but
little of the rebellion just closed, hut
the army officials of every European
nation at least have been watching it's
progress and noting its INCIDENTS. be-
cause it is really the first time i'll thirty
years or more that the citizen soldier
has had full opportunity to show what
he could do. The militia of Cape Col
ony is but little different from similar
bodies of men in European countries.
1t is made up of clerks and artisans OF
the colony, who have had no military
experience whatever beyond that which
falls to the lot of the militia. in all
chimes. Yet they fought not only
braYely and well, but in heroic fashion.
The record of the British army cam
not possibly show more gallantry.
A little mere than eight months ago
1T was about Christmas time-news
came here and to other points where
Europeans congregate that danger
Gus insurrection had broken out at
Phokwane, near the line of railway
from Kimberley to Bryburg. These
tidings were to the effect that it was
TO ordinary rebellion, but one which,
if not instantly crushed, meant war
and bitter war at that. GalishWe,
Toco and other Bechuanaland chiefs
were leading the maraGders, and this
in itself meant savage conflict.
The Cape Colony forces IN time Of
serious trouble consist of volunteers,
or militiamen. SO great was the emer-
gency considered to be that the vol
untoers were promptly called upon, the
result being that the rebels retired into
the fastnesses of the Langeberg, a
mountain range some sixty miles long,
which overhangs the dread Kalahari
desert, than which there is no greter
evil in all Africa. Every foot of this
country and the adjacent mountain
range was as familiar to the rebels as
the claim of the Kimberley diamond
grubber is to him. They were we'll
aware that 10 water could be found
within fifteen miles of the foot of this
range Of mountains, and they took pos
session of the mountain springs, erect
ing modern Notifications to guard
Them.
This was the situation that confront
ed the 1000 volunteers, when, following
I'D the rebels, by long and wearysome
marches, they reached the edge of
this desert borderland OF the range of
plenty. These troops consisted of what
is called Cape Mounted Rifles, caval-

Astrological Experiment Which Is Extending Through
the United States.

On of the most interesting sociologi-
cal experiments ever attempted in the
United States is now in operation in
thirty-one states and territories. I'm
der the control Of the men interested
are twenty-three manufactures, all on
the cooperative plan. In this news
paper, G. B. De Bernardo, the origi-
nator of the idea and the central fig
ure in the movement, in an article
practically prepared and written by
him, tells the story of the enterprise.
The Labor Exchange, as the idea is
denominated, is primarily for the pur-
pose of solving the great problem Of
how to best give all men employment.
The original plan was calculated to
embrace the best features of the COM

was bent on satisfying that love to the
utmost.
In the face of this heavy fire, which
grew in strength as the mountains
grew closer and closer, these raw mil
itiamen marched with the steadiness
of veterans. gave bullet for bullet and
charged their foes in superb fashion.
There was many a mountain pass to
traverse but the volunteers worked
their way up. Hand to hand they
fought the enemy, first giving shot for
shot, then with dubbed rifles and last
ly with knives, locked in deadly en-
brace, European or savage giving
death in any form it was possible to
bring it about. In these engagements
of the passes, no quarter was shown.
Seldom in the history of Africa, not

same time, to avoid the errors which
the promoters of these experiments had
fallen into. 1t was believed that the
community idea, so far as forcing all
persons in sympathy Herewith to dwell
in the same locality was an error. 1t
really is something of a curtailment
of personal liberty to say to an indi-
vidual here shalt thou dwell or thou
canst not be of u.s.
With the belief that the results aim
ed at by the community idea could be
gained without burdensome restriction,
and that it could be demonstrated to
the world that there was a reasonable
solution Of the problem of a comfort

none, the experiment which is repre-

portunity existed for men with capital

was the opportunity for those who,
placing their aggregate funds in one
operation, should establish manufac-
tories and sell the very articles which
the capitalist would produce, and thus
themselves benefit by the same causes
which enabled a man with a necessary
amount of funds to greatly increase
the same. There is no time when there
is not opportunity for the success of
labor upon the cooperative plan, pro-

The exchange was duly incorporated

Gated near Kansas City, on the north

the work of extension was carried on.
The members of the exchange believed
that, inasmuch in the course of higher
development there would be less call
in ordinary manufacturing pursuits for
workers, some plan should be adopted
by which the workers should be given
the opportunity for comfortable and
happy existence, which to certain ex-
