HELPS the SILVER CAUSE
Senator Dubois Comments on the War
in South Africa.

in South Africa
CHICAGO, Dec. 25.--''If the war in the
Transvaal continues for two or three
months longer the cause Of silver will
have been won.." said former United
States Senator Dubois OF Idaho, one of
the Silver Republican leaders. >
"The short time it has been. in prog
ress," continued Mr.. Dubois, 'has fur.
nished proof of the contentious of the
friends Of silver that there IS not enough
gold in the world to form the basis of
the worlds money, and if the war con-
tinues the length of time T have indi-
Gated the truth of this will have be-
come too apparent for successful con-
travention.
81 believe the Transvaal war will be
mighty influence in the campaign of
next year in this country and that the
object lesson will convince the people
of this country that it is not safe tc
place on gold the entire burden Of the
monetary volume of the world.
: set may BE- interesting to observe that
the panic in New York was simultane.
GUS with the passage Of the house gold
standard bill. Now, if q panic had
followed the passage of a silver free
coinage bill the wise men and the press
of the land would have attributed it te
the passage Of the BILL"

immense crowd of infantry, fanked on
each side by two batteries, with strong
bodies of cavalry supporting. The Boer
artillery preserved absolute silence, not
disclosing its position. Two batteries
came within rifle distance Of our fore

opened fire with deadly effect. Our
artillery also commenced and appar-
entity absolutely confused the enemy

and dying humanity behind. Again
the British advanced to the attack, but
again fell back, swelling the heaps Of
dead. The cavalry charged to the
river where the Ernlolo commando de-
livered such 1nurderons fire that two
batteries OF cannon had to be aban-
doned, which the Beers are going to
bring hero. Twice the British essayed
to bring hcrses to remove them. The
first time they succeeded in hitching
onto one cannon and on the second trial
the horses and men fell in heap.
s'Then the British were in full retreat
to their c;a1np, whence they sent a
heavy shrapnei fire on Bulwer bridge,
across the Iugela, to prevent the burgh-
ers from recovering the cannon.
The French attache, Villebois, and
the German attache, Braun, say the

PRESENT-DAY THOUGHTS.
BY G. GRosvENoR DAVE.

The impression may possibly be a mis-
taken one, but it certainly seems to me
that there is less attention paid to Lent
than formerly. The forty days, when the
flesh is to be denied this thing or that
when the sad mien is the micn of pro-
priety-when the JOY OF life is TO be starved
out that the life hereafter shall be made
more certain when trifiing priyations are
supposed to please the One who has the
interests of great universe to watch over
that sort OF Lent is passing away, | be-
lieve.
There is no sign Of retrogression about
this; for the underlying principle of the
old Lent seems to have been concerned
about oneself. 1t was by no means an
imitation of the great soul whom it is sup
posed to reflect. He grew, il possible,
more earnest as he end drew near; bat he
attended this celebration and that, he
cheered his disciples by the way, be ate
and he drank, he went calmly 10 his earth
ly doom. There may have been at one
time fasting Of forty days and forty
nights in preparing for his LIES work ON
earth, but there VAS no such term OF prep
aratiOn for the world hereafter.
Let us without moments hesitation
rejoice that the old Lent of sackcloth
