THE story of the destruction of the
dervishes and the crushing OF Nah =
diem, as told In today's supplement, is
q thrilling one indeed. One thing that
gives the tale added interest is that
the conditions under which the British
and Egyptians fought were so very dill
ferent from those encountered by our
own soldiers in Cuba. 1t must
have been an inspiring sight
to witness the advance OF
the opposing armies, stretched out
in line of battle for many miles, and
moving steadily onward through an
open country. How different from the
jungles and fever laden swamps of the
battlefields around Santiago! AS for
the great commander, Sir Herbert
Kitchener, he reminds us
very much OF Dewey in the
way he finishes up his work.
He seems to have had q carefully
thought out plan of campaign from the
very first, and he has been consistently
carrying it forward for more than two
years. The finish was most brilliant,
and II reports from the seat of war are
correct. the.great victory of last week
means virtually the end of the long
campaign. One observation that
occ urs to US in connection with this
great movement is that while
Euglishmen have the Soudan at their
finger tips, we are almost entirely ig-
norsnt of the conditions presented and
the problems involved in that vast re-
gion into which civilization has as yet
penetrated but slightly. In fact, we
know about as little concerning Africa
as the English people know of the
United States.

NOT q great while ago Miss Char
lotte Smith, Washington, who is at
the head OF the Social Purity league,
started q national agitation-at least
she intended it to be national-for the
purpose of getting legislation through
congress making it obligatory upon all
men between certain ages to get mar
ried, on pain OF very severe national
tax. She was simply laughed at in al
most every quarter, but it remained
for the government itself to make in
vestigstions that show that there are
about two million more bachelors in
the United States than there are old
maids. So IL looks rs il somebody will
have to go without even il all the men
of marriageable age do go and do it.

Europeans in Mexico Jealous Of Us

A dispatch from Mexico City says:
There is q bitter feeling here among
the lesdiug European merchants
against Americans since the successful
close of the campaign in Cuba and the
Philippines, being wholly based on q
fear of the rising prestige of America
ans and the fear on the part of the Eu
ropeans that they will lose the trade of
Mexico. A curious outcome of the war
is an apprehension felt by resident
Spaniards lest merchants of their own
nationality in Havana shall come here
and enter into competition with them.
They are warmly opposed to Spanish
immigration into Mexico. The general
sentiment among men long in the trade
here is hostile to the growing Americ-
an commercial and financial influence,
and this feeling is manifested in many
irritating ways.
Presidents Diaz's administration is
friendly to the Americans and this fact
enrages the newspapers in opposition
to his government which are owned or
secretly subsidized by resident Euro
peans. These paper are doing all in
their power to excite the bitter feeling
against the United States. The gov
eminent papers are friendly to the
Americans, as are the mass of the peo-
| pie. The country was never more
| prosperous and the anticipation that
American capital is going to invade the
country in larger amounts and dispute
| for the business with the old establish
| ed European concerns makes them ex-
| ceedingly angry. Large numbers of
engineers are coming out from France
to work the Inguaran copper property
| recently bought by the Rothschilds
| and Mirbaud of Paris. The capital of
| the company will be $1,000, 900 gold
By the fret of the year large amount
of the preliminary work will be done
| and railway to connect of the coun-
try will have been fully surveyed.
Carlos Eisenman, the formmer owner
of the mines, retains half of the pro-
| porty.

effort to hurt the administration and

photographs of soldiers "before and

ture OF q man with beard. The
World goes on to say whole lot of
things about the terrors of the war and
the awful effects on the young volun-
teers. 1t relies on these parallel pic
lures to prove its point. We should
say that about all these fellows need is
a haircut and shave.
