IRON HORSE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Great Strides In Railway building
the Past Few Years.

Railway activity in South Africa is
OF comparatively modern origin, but
in the course of n few short years II
has been pushed on with almost fever
ish haste, so that at the present time
the iron horse has actually entered Bull
awayo, and there is serious talk Of ex-
tending the system to the once mys-
terious Zambesi. Although we finally
succeeded the Dutch as rulers in the
Cape Colony in 1906. il was not until
1859 that the first railway was CON-
menced. and extensions went on slowly
till the discovery of diamonds in Girl
qualand West gave an impetus to trade
and traffic in South Africa. Even then
the railway halted for years at a sleepy
town on the edge of the silent Karroo
known rs Beaufort West, and thence
the journey had to be made to Kim ber-
ley according to the means or tastes OF
the passenger, by post cart. with driv-
ers reckless of life and limb; the lum.
bcring stage coach or 'prairie schoon-
er~ drawn by vicious mules or slumber-
Gus oxen.
There are many prosperous city men
and even millionaires-stil in the
prime Of life who well remember that
awful Journey across the veldt from
Beaufort West-the glaring heat by
day. the cold by night. the lurching
vehicles. the whirling sand as it came
adown the breeze. the scanty provi-
sions. the miserable "outspans." and
at last the sounds of distant dynamite
explosions which bespoke the nearness
Of the city of dust and diamonds. The
military operations in Be~chuanaland
led to the continuation OF the line. with
the active assistance of the home gov
eminent, right up to Kimberley.
Meantime the agricultural districts
Of the Cape Colony had been opened up,
thanks mainly to the pressure which
the farmers brought to bear on the gov
eminent Of the day. and in 1890 the gold
discoveries in the Transvaal led to an
other squirt in railway building. Some
OF the short lines at the cape pass
through very beautiful scenery. such
MS those which run through the pine
clad slopes Of Wynberg. and away in
the other direction TO Sea Point-the
Brighton of the cape-but for grandeur
few in the world can compare with the
railway which climbs the barrier range
Of the Hex River mountains. The line
ascends by wonderful curves and zig
gags. giving the passengers fearsome
views Of the depths below, with the
nesting farms and vineyards of the
fertile valley. Capped with snow. the
surrounding mountain peaks, some OF
them 5000 feet high. present n grand
appearance: and engineering skill has
pierced through perpendicular rocks
by means Of cuttings and tunnels. The
history Of railway extension in Soutf
Africa Is assuredly n romance OF rca'
lifc.-London Chronicle.

since the last celebration OF Jackson's
day thousands OF political prodigals have
returned TO the old home. and thousands
more are growing weary OF the husks. The
reception OF those n have returned has
depended upon the merit which has ami
mated the prodigals. Those who have come
back acknowledging the binding force or
the Chicago platform and willing to work
tremendously side by side with the breth-
rem who went not astray. have been taken
into full fellowship and their wanderings
forgiven. But those who have staggered
back. boasting of their intention TO remodel
the house and revolutionize the methods OF
agriculture, have found neither fatted calf
nor banquet hall.
There is no humiliation In the acknowl-
edgment or error. To a large portion OF our
people the money question was a new ques-
ton in 1896, and, as we demanded affirm
alive action. the timid and only half con-
WINGED arrayed themselves against US.
Since the election there has been time Tor
further study and events in rapid success
sion have been yindicating the position
taken by the bimetallic forces In the last
campaign. The republicans too, intoxi-
Gated by success, have been disclosing
schemes which were carefully concealed
during the contest. We may, therefore,. ex-
pect continuous accessions to our ranks.
II cannot close without impressing upon
your minds the necessity of extending and
perfecting the work OF the clubs, which are
necessary to supplement the work OF the
party organization. We must have clubs
IN every precinct Through them we can
keep our forces in fighting condition. col

box from fraud and corruption.

estness and Intelligence OF those who are
enlisted under the banner of independent

emily her eyes caught sight OF a white
butterfly that flew above a barrow OF
flowers, which was being slowly pushed
along the pavement's edge, with gay
carelessness strange enough in that
crowded place. Once this white bit OF
life nuttered upward high and higher,
as though TO reach the gray filaments Of
cloud that streaked the blue sky be-

vague, sad way she associated herself
