An Enjoyable Event.

The Maccabee hall New Years eve was
the scene Of one of the most financially
successful suppers and social meetings
as ever held by the order. Music and
recitatians by local talent added greatly
to the success of the entertainment.
Special praise is due Mr.. Edward Ber-
nard, who recited "The Fortunes OF
War;" and being heartily applauded
gave as a second selection, "The Matri-
mOnial Maneuvers Of Major Musket."
Music by the Schuman mixed quartet
was greatly enjoyed and the duet by
Miss Mae and Mr.. Ora Damon was a
beautiful piece Of music excellently
rendered,
The supper served by the ladies was nc
small part Of the evenings program and
members of both tents deserve great
praise for the success of the undertaking
The happy party broke up long after thu
new year had entered, and safe to say
resolved to attend all future sOcials Of
the Maccabees held in this city.

It is the day that he keeps" no matter how pressing contracts may be, or high the pile of orders in the stop work on this day. and go out together to some convenient place, where they can forget toll, where they can hear the chosen leaders of their respective organi- zations. It is a day devoted to organiza- ton and recreation. The unorganzed workingman is not celebrated on Labor Day. He is out of joint with himself and all the rest of mankind. It will be the organized workingmen who will recreate and rejoice together tomorrow.
 Employers of all sorts should be willing to give employees full freedom from all duty of employment on this one day of the year. They should close their factories and shops. in order that ever man who tolls with his hands may be able to par ticipate in the parade, the speechmaking and the various other exercises of Labor Day. Capital and labor should cooperate at every step in the work of the world. and capital can do no more gracious act than to aid its chum and partner in celebrating its own particular day
 And, by the way, there is to be nothing exclusive or elannish in the speechmaking or exercises of tomorrow. All are invited. participa ting in them. All are or should be toilers in this world; the drone alone is to be despised or pitied; and all toilers will be welcomed and made glad tomorrow at labor"s rallying places.

SECTIONAL LINES

From the Indianapolis News.
 Governor Shaw, of Iowa, by his action last year of appointing an ex-Confederate officer to be a brigadier general, has aroused the hostility of the National Union Veterans union. The members of the organization adopted a resolution at Des Moines in which they declared that they had been 'insulted" by the governors ac- ton. It is many years too late to make anything by denouncing the ex-Confeder- ates or discriminating against them when it comes to the question of the nations de- fense. Govern 1r Shaw did the right thing. He chose for the place the man who was conceded to be the best military man in the state, and he refused to allow the fact that he had served in the Confederate army to stand in the way. But, though the gov -ernor's course was clearly proper, it is not easy to understand just what the Union Veterans union would have. Apparently it is acting on the theory that this is not a nation of all. but merely forced union be- tween two hostile sections one of which is and must ever be- inferior and subordinate to the other. f

Boer or British Supremacy.

In the magnificent game of bluff that Dom Paul is putting up, as the result of lcng experience, the chief facts should not be forgotten. His country was once part of the South African empire that England is patiently organizing. It was with British rule trekked across the Vaal river and made new homes. The Trans vaal was given independence in 1881 on two conditions-al foreign relations were to be vested in England, and all white persons in the Transvaal were to have equal political rights. just as they have in Cape Colony, Natal, the Orange Free State and Rhodesia. As a matter of fact residents of the Transvaal other than Boers have no political rights at all-nor even the right to provide through local ad- ministration for sanitation or education or the policing of districts occupied by them. They are in a majority, paying nine-tenths of the taxes, and have no political rights.
 Today all whites enjoy in other parts of ASouth Africa equal political rights. In the Orange Free State the Boers are in full control. and Premier Schreiner and his government in Cape Colony itself was put into office by Boers. A Boer and an Eng l.shman stand on one political level in all South Africa except in the TransvaaI where only Boers have political rights. This is contrary to the treaty of 1881. to justice and to progress.

LOST HIS TITLE
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 William Waldorf Astor is dlcovering in sundry little ways that he has not bettered his position in English society by fiinging away his birthright of American citizen- ship. Before he became naturalized Eng lishman he was allowed to port the title of "honorable,' because he had once been a member of an American legislature. The Marquis de Fontenoy says he has now re- ceived a quiet semi-official tip to abandon the use of this title, which has more defi- n.te meaning in England than in the United States. Sons or daughters of peers above a certain rank are officially allowed to use this handle to. their names, and MT. Glad stone with some,difiiculty secured the same privilege for members of colonial legisla- lures. AS MT. Astor is only a common mid- dle class Englishman he can be nothing but plain Mister" and is denied even the much abused Esquire" He will have all he can do to live up to the requirements of his middle class prefix.

Boers two to one at least The gold seek CTS are now known as Uitlanders or Out landers. They are Englishmen. Americans. Frenoamen, Germans-any nationality ex- eept Dutchmen or Boers The Uitlanders have built fine city, Johannesberg, and have vast mining interests near at hand both of gold and diamonds. They ask for equal political rights under the treaty of 1881
 Outside of this demand of the outiand- CTS is the broader question of the control of South Africa. This Is d question that touches the control of India. and therefore of the dominance of the British empire. In case of war, for example. with France and Russia, England could not afford to depend upon a canal that could be dyna- mited; it must hold supplies and stores of all kinds at Cape Colony. South Africa. too, must become an .essetal part of the great African empire that England is plan- ming along the backbone of the continent along the only section of it that white men S"tA 4AfS AA' Ho iooelS ulGdii Ol DoSi empire at and near Cape Colony-the Eng fish of a new English empire. It will thus be seen that the question is very broad and very full of meaning and map-makng, and in the end it will be seen that Dutch oostinacy and Dutch injustice are up against a force that can neither be bent Tor broken. The control of South Africa is the issue. It cannot permanently remain half Boer and half British, and the matter probably must be fought out

Yellow Fever in New Orleans.

The outbreak of yellow fever at Key West, New Orleans and vincennes. Ind, has occurred about the same time in the year that the outbreak of 1898 did. New Orleans was reported free from the disease on September of last year, but the out breaks at Franklin La., and at Orwood, Miss. had at that date begun to startle people. and to disorganize railroad traffic. The appearance of the disease may be re- garded as of even date with that of last year.
 But the success of the Marine hospital service at Hampton in isolating and crush ing out the disease after fifty cases had occurred and a dozen deaths, should be some assurance that like success will at- tend the work at New Orleans. No one claims that New Orleans, lying flat amid fresh water and marshes, in a hot sun. without sewers, is favoraby located. On the contrary, it presents every unfavorable condition, but success there this year, corresponding to the success at Hampton, "oaid SO lO Sho" thdl lhS ISNSi Sdh bS conquered by modern science and skill anywhere.
 There is no occasion in any event for alarm in Jones Valley. This valley should, however, be swept and garnished Filth and foul smells and foul water should be straightway abolished. They should be abolished anyway, and if the appearance of the fever elsewhere causes the people and the authorities to do what they should have done long ago, the gain will show in a reduced mortality from other diseases.

Old and New Cotton Crop.

The crop that was rounded up Thursday evening last was a bumper crop; 1t was all told Il, ,274,S4S bales, or about 100,NG0 bales more than the crop of the previous year, which had been the record crop. About 10 per cent of this great crop came from this state. Secretary Hester gives Alabama credit for 1,159,O0O bales, or rather more than the state had produced in any previous year. It was at any rate great crop.
 The Age-Herald regrets it cannot say as much for the new and current crop. The New Orleans Times-D Democrat presents re- ports from all the belt, showing that, with the possible exception of Alabama, the crop has received damaging blows in every state. In Texas drought and heat have sadly hurt a sappy plant; in Arkan- sas extreme August weather has been severely felt; in Louisiana the crop is spotted, and so it is in Mississippi; in Georgia and the Carolinas the outlook is absolutely gloomy. Ut is perfectly plaip,' adds the Times-Democrat in conclusion, "'that somebody is horribly wrong about this crop; it is of the utmost importance that the error be discovered, without de- lay"

A YEAK-oLD TERRITORIAL BABY

From the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser
 The Hawaiian territorial baby is one year old today. She is fat and strong, and like all babies, rather imperious at times. The food that best develops her muscle and size is MeIlin's (Asiatic) food, of which she has taken large portions, and would like more. Her teeth are appearing, and she has just dispatched an eminent attorney to ask the supreme court of the United States to insert its fingers into her mouth and find out how sharp they are. She stoutly refuses to be put into any colonial cradle, or colonial baby wogan, but prop erly insists upon riding in the national stage coach, with no dead-head limitations President McKinley's policy of treating her as all territorial babies have been treated since the Union was made, gives her the collie sometimes, and she screams dread fully, and kicks because she is quite too young to understand that the president is a careful and honest nurse, and knows the proper treatment of territorial babies and will give her the food and clothing best suited to the station in life which Provi- dence has assigned to her.

Railroad Commissions in Two States.

All of the commercial organizations of this city have united in asking the legis- lature to substitute the effective Georgia railroad commission law for the ineffective law of this state, with an amendment pro- vidlng for the election of the commission CTS by tho people. As the railroads are not complaining of the action of the Geor- gia law or the Georgia commission, they would not be apt to complain if its opera tion were extended westward to the Missis- sippi line. They are no more burdened with unjust exactions in Georgia than they are in Alabama, and yet the Georgia law is confessedly better for the people. What is better for the people is better in the long run for the railroads, for the people are the customers of the railroads.
 It is certainly better to hand over tho selection of the railroad commissioners to the people. All experience runs against appointments by other officials and in fa- vor of appointments at the hands of the people themselves. Even elective judges have been found to be better than ap- pointive judges, and so 1t would be in the case of railroad commissioners. They should be elected. All officers, as a state paper recently said, from constable to sen- ator, should be nominated in primaries and elected by the people. Railroad com missioners should not be exceptions to .he rule.
