General J"ubert's story saved the
Lives OF the Jameson Raiders,


Lives OF III" Jameson Raiders.
y most interesting account of tho
manner i'll which the lives of Jameson
md his men were spared, after the sur
render To the Beers is told by tho
Nieuws 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 daybreal. Tho meet

house, 20 being present, of whom the

GERS at once.
President Kruger opposed this sum-
mary plan and used all his cloquence
and all his influence ON behalf of the
prisoners. For n long time his efforts
We're vain. 1T WAS o'clock in the
morning, and the presidents opponents
We're still for execution. The lives of
the foreigners hung by thread
At length General Joubert, one of tho
few who agreed with the president, had
recourse to the old timo Boer method of
convincing his hearers. He made uso of
a parable,
Friends, " he said, will you not

These are thine; now pay me for the

There was silence, and the general
continued: I'VE have caught the pack.

The old form of argument proved

DR.. Frye, who testified before the CON-
mission on Wednesday frankly stated that
the volunteer doctors who ::served in the
hospitals we're, as q rule. poor lot. and
attributed much of the mismanagement
that has been complained of to their
want of know ledge or experience. This
condition, however, Is one that the gov
eminent was not much to blame for.
Physicians Of long experience could sell
dom be had, and necessarily the main re-
lance was upon recent graduates from
medical schools, who had had very little
opportunity for pra otical st udy Of med
icine and surgery. The truth Is we we're
unprepared for war. We had no consid-
cradle body of men at our command who
had been trained to know how to
command troops or how to care for them
while we'll, or treat them when sick.
Our commissary and medical departments
necessarily had to be filed by men unac-
customed to the duties which devolved
upon them. OF course there were fail.
ures Some OF the men were. as DR..
Frye says, no doubt q "scabby SET" but
we imagine that the most of them faith
fully strove to discharge their duties to
the best of their ability. Their failure
was due in large part to lack Of expert
ence and that knowledge, which can only
be got through experience. We undertook
to improvise an army of 200, 0C0 men IN
a month, to furnish 1T with an efficient
commissary department, and an efficient
medical department. 1t could not be done
properly in that time. Perhaps it might
have been done better than 1t was done,
but with the most efficient organizers
that could have been found there would
have been much lacking.

will be found that the most of 1t, as in
the case of Portland, had no relation to

The Portland daily press., 1898-10-21

The Farmer opposes the law because OF
its iniquitous operations. In the State
Of Maine this year twenty five Democrats
have bsen honestly elected to the House
of Representatives, chiefly by and throuRh
the use of stickers on the regular ballots.
No question can be raised as TO tie svi'
dent intent of the voters in the several
d istricts, yet, under the exRcting and ar.
bitrary rulings of this reform ballot law,
some, or all, of these gentlemen must be
thrown out BY the Legislature because OF
defective ballots, should the defeated can
didates, in opposition to the expressed
wish OF the voters, exercise the power
given them under this law.-Malne
Ia mer.
Every ballot law that we have ever had
requires compliance with certain
teohnicalities. The old law required that
the ballot should be printed on clean
white paper without distinguishing
marks. A different colored paper or q
mark that might be REGARDED as dis
tinguishing mark, no matter whether put
there by accident or design, was sufficient
to vitiate the ballot. A wrong initial to
a mans name, though 1t was clear what
the voters intent was, prevented the
counting of the vote for the man for whom
1t was really thrown. The Australian
ballot requires compliance with oe tain
technicalities just as the Old law did,
and failure to comply with them vitiates
the ballot. But any injustice done by
these technicalities in case Of representa-.
