The Westminster Gazette of London published re-
Gently letter on the Beers from gentleman who
has been for the last two years in the Transvaal
The following are extracts from the letter:
lhey are the nearest present approach to the old
Hebrew patriarchs Like them, they value wealth
in Hocks and herds, and away from the world in al
most lonely wdernesses worship God, and often pos
sess the same strong and unrued passions as were
hibited by some of the Biblical personages NY Boer
friend showed me the two books which appeared to
form his library they both large Bibles-one in
Dutch, the other in English Both were illustrated
N that primitive and almost outrageous fashion
which seems to have often inspired Biblical artists,
and no doubt these pictures considerably influence the
minds of these primitive Beers. Science literature,
and criticism being unknown quantities. one can
speculate on the theological crudites of these good
people Alone on the weld, with the silent plains
often more or less surrounded by the eyerlastino
hills. the Jehovah Of the Jews seems to suppant in
their minds the God of the Christian and these
Biblical pictures Of the pastoral patriarchs must
nave an attraction and sense meaning to them which
are unknown to They are alone BY themselves
and the God of the illustrated family Bible
To understand the Boer you must understand
his theology, which rules his life and guides his ac-
tons In the early days of the Boer trek they abso
utey thought that they would eventually reach Teru
salem. Their favorte Scrptural reading must have
been the Old Testament, and especially the Book of
Joshua, where the command to go forward enjoy the
Promised Land and snite the heather was freely
adopted by themselves referring to the Transvaal
and the treatment of the Kaffirs. If not why is it
you find towns in the Transvaal called Bethlehem
and Nazareth; and why is it that when in their
Iransvaal advance, they approached a river which
overHowed It's banks, they thought they had struck
source OF the Nile and called it the Nile river or in
Dutch the Mushroom which name it still bears?
a Boer cannot understand why an intelligent En-
glishman should preach to the kaffrs who possess
no souls. The Beers, whether rightly or wrongly,
look upon the Kafirs descendants of Cain and
consider any attempt to Chrstianze them as trying
to multiply curse of God"

sufficient to disquaiify them, under the

ACTIONS AGAINST THE CITY

Judge Willis declared yesterday that
the law of 1895 purporting to give COM
mon councils of Minnesota cities power
to fix the salaries of city officials was
unconstitutional The judge announc-
ed that he would in the course of
few days write an opinion expressing
his views and stating his reasons in de-
tail
The question came before the court
in the suit of A. E. BoWe, formerly the
second assistant in the corporation at
torney's office, against the city to re-
cover the 10 per cent reduction in his
salary held back by the city under the
resolution of the common council. This
resolution, which reduced the salaries
of several other city officials, was
adopted by virtue of the legislative act
of 1895 which purported to empower
the council to fix the salaries of all
city officials, as we'll as the judges of
the municipal court.
In its answer to the suit of Mr.. Bowe,
the city pleaded this resolution Of the
council and the law of 1895 which au
thorized it's adoption. Mr.. Bowe de-
INJURED to the answer Judge Willis
sustained the demurrer and thereby
NA1SC1Ah1NA
stutional. Under this ruling every city
official whose salary was originally fix
ed by law prior to 1895 is in no way
affected by the law of 1895 and the
resolution of the common council there
under.
Judge Willis, in his oral opinion de-
livered from the bench, said that it
was apparent that the law Of 1895 con-
stituted special legislation, as it could
rot apply to any other city than st.
Paul. The law provided no proper bas1s
OF classification, either as to the cities
coming within it's scope or as to the
officers affected by the law. The title
of the act was false and misleading
in not setting forth with eXactness, as
required, ,sthe subject matter OF the law.
From the title the law would appear
to apply to all Offices whereas eXcep-
tions are made of the mayor, the comp
troller and the judges and clerk of the
municipal court.
The decision of Judge Willis, If Sus-
tttined by the supreme court, when
viii unQuestiOnably be called upon to
finally pass upon the law of 1885, will
affect several cIty officials, whose sal
aries were reduced by the resolution
that Topped 10 per cent off the salary

constitutional draw the old salary of

"a harmonious whole was necessary. II
the changes which the new management
deemed essential to the proper building up
of a public school system that would be on
a par with those of the leading cities Of the
country had been made by degrees there
would now be much more confusion than
there is, and much more fault finding. The
course pursued, therefore is reckoned by the
officials of the board Of education as the most
logical that could have been adopted, and as
a result the city of Newark has today pub
lie school system whose fundamental prin-
cples of education would be accepted as
sound and thoroughly practical by the lead
ing edcators of the country. Indeed, all OF
the new ideas have been in practical opera
tion in one or another OF the foremost Amer
ican cities for longer or shorter periods; their
value has been proven.
In speaking of the changes made since
he came, Mr.. Gilbert said last week that he
feels the foundations are laid and that no
new or startling changes will be needed nor
desirable. He said he was gratiied at the
zeal and force shown by the teachers and
principals, and the enthusiasm which very
many have displayed. The work had been
hard and difficult for. them. he knew, but he
was satisfied that if they will be patient and
endeavor to master the new course of study
as now laid down they will find it pleasanter

President Freeman, of the Minnesota

This with the other trouble, was con-

afternoon, and as a result, Mr.. Mitchell

of any kind between the firm and its

"If there is any report or rumor of
a strike it is wholly false and without
foundation. There are no differences
between the firm and it's emp Dyes, and
none of the operators have left their
places. The story Of a difficulty prob

for his services. He h2d not, Mr.. Free
