AN EFFECTIVE PARABLE.

General JOubert's story Saved the
Lives of the Jameson Raiders.
A most interesting account of the
manner in which the lives of Jameson
and his men were spared, after the sur
render to the Beers, is told by the
News Van den Dag of Amsterdam:
The stern old Beers, when they had
Jameson and his fellow officers in their
hands, determined to execute the lead
ers Of the band at daybreak. The meet
ing took place in President Kruger's
house, 20 being present, Of whom the
great majority, wild with indignation
at the sudden inroad into their terri
tory, were for shooting the British Off
GERS at once.
President Kruger opposed this sum-
mary plan and used all his eloquence
and all his influence ON behalf Of the
prisoners. For a long time his efforts
were vain. 1t was o'clock in tks
morning, and the presidents opponents
were still for execution. The lives OF
the foreigners hung by thread.
At length General Joubert, one of the
few who agreed with the president, had
recourse to the old time Boer method Of
convincing his hearers. He made use OF
q parable.
Friends" he said, Twill you not
listen to my voice once more? Suppose
that close to my farm lives a bad neigh
Dor who keeps fierce hounds in his
house, worrying my sheep exceedingly
and also killing some. What, then,
would you have me to do? Should kill
the hounds to be free of this worry?
Truly my neighbor would say unto me:
Thou hast killed my hounds, yet their
value Is greater than the value Of your
sheep. Pay thou mep Is it not better
that I should take the hounds and go
ing into my neighbor's house say,
'These are thine; now pay me for the
harm they have done my fiock?'"
There was silence, and the general
continued: "We have caught the pack.
Is it not better to send them to the
British government with demands for
reparation, lest the British send more
hounds to worry us anew"
The old form Of argument proved
successful. The wisdom of moderation
became apparent, and the council of
war accepted the advice Of their chiefs.

Washington, March 2.-Thc Ding
ley law has fulfilled the promise Of its
trainers. In it's seventh month, Feb
ruary, it has produced an average Of
over million dollars a day revenue
and presents the treasury with Il sur
plus in excess Of the expenditures Of
the month. In the twenty weight days
OF February the receipts were S2S,-
572,33S, 5 larger sum than any Feb
ruarv since the Inauguration OF Pres
ident Cleveland. The expenditures
we're S26,727 900, leaving for the
month Il surplus OF $l,S45,35s, the

ccipts alone were $15, ,040,6S0 a sum
larger than in any February since

land.
The average daily receipts during
the month were S. ,02O, ,447, which is
SIT 900 per day in excess of the aver
age daily expenditures during the
past five years. The daily receipts,
which in the first month of the
Dinglcy law averaged 1929, 794 pei
diem were in February an average OF
ST ,O2o, ,447 per diem, while it's Gus
toms receipts, which in the first
month averaged but 1925 ,4o9 per
diem, averaged in February 1881 ISL

the quarter the state treasurer re-
ccived s45l, ,S30.47 and paid out
S4O3 ,3GG.lS. The heavy payments
were on account Of large warrant
calls on both the general and bounty

by far the largest amount ever liqui
dated in any quarter in the history
Of the office. The sum Of Sal ,42]
was paid out for bouuty warrants

HER BACK BROKEN.
NO Reasonable Doubt but That the Maine
Was Blown Up.

New York, March "A dispatch
to the Herald from Havana says:
The Names back was broken.
Latest discoveries made by the divers
not only support the information
pcintcd by the Herald concerning the
disclosures Of paramount Importance
by Ensign Powelson, but convince
those in charge Of the submarine in
vestigation that mine rent the
United States battlcship asuudcr.
The keel Of the ship has been
found in two pieces, the nearest ends
of which arc now separated by a dis
tancc Of from two and Il half to
three feet. The sections are no
longer lying in one straight line, but
show the effect Of Il force executed
from port to starboard. 1t is evident
from the discovery of the present
condition Of the keel that the sec
tion of the bottom found 90 feet
from it's natural position was
wrcnched from it's natural position
by it's first explosion and driven up
wards. The keel itself was forced in
the middle until it was broken in two
then collapsed in two sections and
fell in the position the diver found
them in yesterday. Reliable persons
| familiar with the results Of high cx-
plosycs and with the wreck above
and under water say that the break
ing OF the keel us now disclosed
could not possibly have been done by
an inside explosion alone. In fact
this last discovery Of the manner IN
which the Mainc's back was broken,
taken together with earlier disclos,
urcs has convinced the men working
about the wreck that further invcsti-
cation as to the manner in which
the shi p's back was blown up is per
fcctly useless and they consider the
question solved beyond doubt. The
court Of inquiry will of course hca1

The Loss to Labor.

1t has been conseryatively estimated
that American wage carners lost
$1,000, 900 a day through the delay in
the enactment of protective tariff and
the consequent opportunity afforded to
foreigners to flood our markets with
their cheap goods. And the enactment
of new tariff law will not result i'll
an immediate return of prosperity to
American labor, because the surplus
stock of goods now in our markets must
be consumed before there can be AZ ac-
tive demand for our home products.
