Drawback of Life In Kimberley.

Only those who are willing to undergo
great hardships in pursuit Of wealth
should think Of going to Kimberley,
South Africa. The town is surrounded
by level, treeless country, nothing high

horizon in any direction. For eight
months out Of the year there is often no
rain at all, and the thermometer often
stands for days at 100 degrees in the
shade. To add to the discomfort of the
residents, fierce, choking storms of dust
frequently sweep over the town.

President Mckinley Is having a hard
time endeavOring to convince the Amer.
lean people that the payment Of $780,
100000 TO Spain for the privilege of
fighting the Filipinos was a good in
vestment. With brilliant ''side-step''
the Republican President has got away
from In front Of the Philippines and
now asserts that Providence Is respon-
sible for the whole muddle.
But, after all, it may be doubted that
the highly reverential President is en-
tirely satisfied with the situation. Per,
haps his attitude, if it could really be
discovered, is similar to that assumed
by Gen. Sherman toward Arizona and
New Mexico. 1t is related of the bluff
old fighter that on one occasion he ar
rived late at banquet and heard only
the fiery pleas of the territorial gov
ernors demanding the admission of
New Mexico and Arizona to the Union.
Although Sherman was late, he was
equal to the occasion, and on being
called out for speech said:
"AIl have heard of the speechmak-
ing here was the question as to what
we are going to do with New Mexico
and Arizona. l am expected In my

Bryan's Popularity.
That William J. Bryan is popular has
been demonstrated most clearly during
the "off year" campaign this fall. He
swept through Kentucky amidst the
plaudits of enthusiastic thousands and
his greeting in Ohio was equally cor

Bryan was the most popular Democrat
in the South and West, and now that
New York has indorsed him the plea
that he could not secure enthusiastic
support in the East has been shown to
be incorrect.

rights the people recognize a leader

are plotting to overthrow the liberty

heart and brains, and his work Is for
the betterment Of those who are in dan

Republican managers for the cam

Mckin1ey's Idea of Small Army.

understood to recommend the per-

that large standing army in the Uni

But there is no Inconsistency between
