The South African Situation.

The prospect OF a peaceable settlement
of the South African trouble seems better
than for some time past President Knit
GER is engaged at Pretoria in utilizing the
material he gathered at the Bloemfon-
tein conference to build bridge across
which both himself and his opponents may
pass in case of need. On its side the Brit
ish Government is manifesting no undue
haste to precipltate a conflict, the ultimate
issue Of which, though 1t may not be uncer-
TAIN could he reached only after great loss
of life and money, with very doubtful adj
vantages to follow. Popular feeling also
in England Ia not in favor of an aggressive
policy against tho Transvaal, and supports
Lord SALISBURY In his known determine
ton to avoid an unnecessary war
At the same time provision is being made
on both sides for the contingency of an ap-
peal to arms. The British Government Ia
reported to have sounded Portugal on the
subject OF free passage for British troops
through its territory in case Of war. What
the answer has been Is not yet known, but
it ia stated that the German and other Eu-
ropean Governments have intimated their
hope that, should there be war between
England and the Transvaal, the neutrality
OF Portuguese territory would be respected
and no attempt be made to interrupt trade
by the Delagoa Bay railway. The prepare
tions to place a special corps in the field in
South Africa continue to be made by the
English War Office, but as yet they are only
provisional.
The Transvaal Government is endeavor-
ing to put itself in position to claim the
material assistance Of the Orange Free
State, as it has already obtained its moral
support and likewise to assure to itself the
sympathy of all the Dutch OF South Africa
which it seems already to possess An i'm
portant addition to the defensive resources
OF the Transvaal has just been made by tho
completion Of the railway from Pretoria to
Pietermaritzburg in the north, opened by
Gen, JoUBERT few days ago. This road
brings the mountain regions OF the
Zoutspanberg district, from which M'PEFU
and his tribe were recently elected, under

The Octopus did his very worst work Of
all last week, and the hearts Of millions
ought to be boiling in consequence In
their march of ruin the Trusts have at
least reached a real necessity OF life and
decided to monopolize it. The Chewing
Gum Combination has been formed. The
merciess money devils have determined to
exact tribute from the jaws Of whole
people. Thus has the insolence OF capital
renched its apex at the very moment when
Governor JOE SAVERS of Texas is hooking
Governors and Acknowledgements for his
Antitrust Conference at st. Louis, and r.
NJ. EAsLEY and the Chicago Civic Federation
are arranging for another meeting of the
same kind.
Libraries about the distribution and in
fuence of chewing gum might be written.
1t seems to be the constant companion, the
incentive to or substitute for thought, Of
millions. The strong use it to exercise their
strength Of jaw, the weak to acquire the
same. Wherever you go you see men,
women and children chewing gum, the ex-
preston Of their countenances varying
from mystical rapture to mere resignation
or logged despair. 1t may be doubted IL
the more devoted chewers stopto eat and
drink. Life is short and gum is long and
the chewing of gum is the chief work of
man on earth.
If in its accursed thirst for gold the Com
bination daros to put up the price OF chew
ing gum, there will come such a roar from
the jaws Of millions as will make the Octo-
pus fall over his own feet There are bounds
even to the ravages Of monopoly.
II must have been the black designs OF
the Chewing Gum Trust that made that
noble Populist patriot, Governor POINTER OF
Nebraska write to Governor SAVERS that
unless the gigantic Trust Octopus is
crushed in the near future, not only the
rights and privileges Of the people Of this
country will be sacrificed. but the very OK
istence OF the republic will be imperilled"
When the gigantic Octopus reaches out for
the peoples chewing gum. the limit Of in
EQUITY and OF endurance has been reached.

Motto About Mr.. Riddle nv n Daughter of
Judge Edmonds.

To THF Enron OF THR SuS-Sir: I noticed in
THE SIN OF June II an editorial article concerning
Prof HyslopH Investigations In the article you refer
kindly and Justly to my father. John W. Edmouds,
for which thank you and also refer TO Mr. Riddles
book. in which he mentions my father as assisting
him in spirit in his Investigations"
When Mr.. Riddles book came out wrote to him
and told that the communication purportinR to
come from my father not only very unlike him.
but untrue regarded facts and represented my
father and mother as being very different from what
they were when living and that my father must have
lost all memory II the communications were from
him. also that Mr.. Kiddle ought 10 have put them
TO the test and consulted me before using the
Tevered names OF my parents as he did.
Mr.. Riddle called upon me and said that he was
not present at tho s5ances when the communca.
tions came, and trusted the matter to others and
thought they we're true He expressed q regret that
he had allowed them to be published without more
careful scrutiny, and thus had not followed my
fathers example when hero. namely; ITO submit
all evidence TO close examination and the use of his
reason and common sense"
concluded that Mr.. Riddle was sincere, but cred.

That would be political madness; 1t would
doom the Democracy to endless infamy.
The cry OF Surrender |" Is not grateful to
any people, end least OF all to Americans.
1t may be assumed, therefore, that the
Democratic party next year will have to
devise some other issue on which to con-
duct its campaign. Trusts2 Nonsense !;
there can be no issue with the Republican
party on that question. What else, then,
Ia there unless 1t be the issue OF the cur
rency, by which alone the great mass OF
the Democracy can be fired with radical
enthusiasm II not silver it must be
gold, but even the so-called gold
Democrats will never dare say gold
in National Democratic Convention.
They have no hope, no chance, except in
some national calamity so great that In
It's presence all else will be forgotten. But
even with the aid OF their alliance. AGUI-
NALDo will never be able to overcome and
destroy our American soldiers and sailors.
Brave and loyal men will settle the Philip
pine question and disappoint Democratic
hopes OF utilizing 1t as means OF getting
into power.
The situation OF the Democratic party,
therefore, remains now as 1t has been con-
tinuously since 1895, and the outcome OF
It's National Convention in 1900 cannot be
discussed intelllgently except on the theory
that tho situation will be unchanged year
hence. Whether the candidate nominated
is BRYAN or another the leader will still be
BRYAN and It's animating impulse will be

cured through Paris bankers, and most Of
the bonds were in the hands OF French I'm
vestors. By our war with Spain these in
vestors we're threatened with a diminution
Of the security offered by their debtor, and,
very naturally, they wished to see
1t impaired as slightly as possible
Their bank accounts would be imperilled
through Spain's loss OF her colonies, and
consequent inability to pay the rates Of In
terest agreed upon.
There was. in short. good deal OF human
nature in the attitude assumed by the ma
jority Of Frenchmen during the months OF
April, May and June, 1893, and mirrored
in the Paris press. 1t is to their credit that
they have reconciled themselves 30 quickly
to the outcome Of the war, and have re-
verified to the feeling OF good will for the
American Republic which, during century
and a quarter, has known but few and
transient Interruptions.
