AFRIDIS ARRANGING AN ATTACH

 Alarming Nature


 Alarming Nature.
 London, Aug. 28-The latest frontier news is that the Afridis are arranging a night attack upon Jaurinda where everything is in readiness to meet them. It is said that large gathering of the Orikas has taken place. The weather is extremely hot.
 It is probable that pending offensive operations by the government forces a blockade will be enforced against the Afridis and Orlkas, who are dependent upon India for their food supplies. This. It Is believed, would tend to compel them to come to terms. The military authorities suggest that after the tribes have been punished, banishment from the country would be necessary. The Kukiles, who have held aloof from the rebellion, number 5000 fighting men.

3 MINNEAPOLIS, Journal: The repeal
of that clause Of the libel law provid-
ing that suits for damages for libel
shall be preceded by a service Of notice
of retraction will not add anything to
the power of the sland cred to recover
damages. tt will only make iteasier
for lawyers to annoy publishers and
put them to needless expense without
any added advantage to the public.
The public is not demanding this
change. Nobody has asked for it ex-
cept certain class of lawyers who
make q living by instigating legisla-
ton and persuading people who would
not otherwise think SO that they have
grievances that can be satisfied only
by suit for libel, with them as the
attorneys, sharing the proceeds. This
litigation always means heavy expense
| for the counties in which it is carried
Ion, but seldom any benefits for the

It will be nooed that while the GUS

capita in 1895 as compared with 500,
it cost 1.2o per cent. more money to g
collect the smaller amount in 1896 than
it cost to collect the larger amount in
1893. In the case of our internal reve-
nue. the cost Of collection increased by
O. O5 per cent. while the amount of rev.

"A USE FOR TRAMPs.

The tramp is the subject of a close

The conclusions reached are that the
tramp is not criminal except in tech

penalties, such as sportation, would
scarcely be justified by the tramp's
