WAR SONG OF THE BOERs.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
The hardy Boer now singeth,
AS to his feet he springeth, ,
A song that's full of ragged, Jagged
rumble, rant and roar.
He loads his trusty rifle a. t nm ,.g,. ,
And chants this chunky trihe-
This wondrous, cumbrous melody - the
song of the Boer:
"Waai hoog nou in ons helder lug
Traansvaalse vriejheidsviag,
Ons viiande is weggeviug;
Nou blink blijer dag"
It looks like barb-wire fencing.
Vt It tangles, jangles, mangies-then 1t
wrangles on once more.
1t cannot be unraVeled,
Once from his throat it's travelled
This triple-twisted, double-fisted wal
song of the Boer:
"Waai hoog nou in ons helder lug
Traansvaalse MISUNDERSTANDING.
Ons viiande Is weggeviug;
Nou blinkn bijer dag"
1t helps us to determine
Meant when he said that war was like a
place that has a floor
That's paved with good intention
But not polite to mention
This awe-inspiring rapid-tire war song of
the Boer:
"Waai hoog ,nou in ons ,helder lug
Traansvaalse vrieiheidsviag,
Ons vijande is weggeViug;
Nou blink'n blijer dag"
No matter how you read it,
You certainly will heed it,
brings up thoughts of gore.
If it's meant to be jolly,
1t must have slipped its trolley
This shrapneworded, pistol-girded wa,
song of the Boer

ORDER, AND THEN JUSTICE.
Democratic View OF the
Philippine Problem.
ST. Louis Republic dom

st, Louis Republic (dem)'
There is good cause for American graft
fcation in the fact that the autumn campaign
in the Philippines has been begun in erect
i've earnest with the northward movement
along different routes of two divisions OF
American troops commanded respectively by
Generals Bawton and Macarthur
1t is especially satisfactory that the new
plan OF campaign contemplate the pcrma-
nent holding OF all towns taken during the
course of the advance The strength Of the
two divisions will be reinforced continually
by the hurrying to the front of newly ar
rived troops and in this way will not be
unduly weakened by this necessity for the
garrisoning of captured points. There Is
a promise OF the early crushing OF the Ag-
uinaldo insurrccton in the adequate eNecu-
ton OF these plans.
With the termination Ct war in the Philip
pines thus brought about the plain American
duty OF restoring order in the Luzou may be
properly performed and conditions estab-
lshed enabling an American congress to deal
with tho problem OF the permanent dispo-
siton of the Philippines unhampered by an
existing conflict. American prestige will not
have suffered In the worlds eyes, the re-
sponsiblity devolving upon this government
| for the protection of life and property in
territory over which its flag floats will
have been fifty discharged and all that re-
mains to be done will rest legtimately in
| the hands OF congress.
| 1t is sincerely to be hoped that American
! principles will be consistently upheld In the
conclusive settlement Of the Philippine ques-
tion. The granting of national independence
to tho Filpinos under an American protect
crate will mark American loyalty to the
American constitution. the Declaration OF In
dependence and the Monroe doctrine. The
holding of tho Philippines as an American
colonial possession will constitute repudi-
alton OF these American utterances. All true
Americans will pray that congress may be
rightly guided in its final and definite dispo-
sition Of the Philippine problem.

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.

AS the time for the meeting of the
American congress approaches the
Cubans who desire independence are
becoming more active and the next few
weeks will probably witness earnest
manifestations on their part of a wish
for early action by congress looking to
the fulfillment of the pledge given by
the United States that Cuba should
have self-goyernment as soon as the
pacification of the island had been ac-
complished. The thirtieth anniversary
of the beginning of the agitation for in
dependence was celebrated at Havana
on Monday and the occasion gave OPP
portunity for an expression of the patri-
otic aspirations of the Cubans. A prom
inent advocate of independence declared
that Cubans are not divided on that
question, as those who advocate an
neXation or protectorate are not to be
classified as Cubans. Another expressed
the belief that the American govern
ment would grant independence to Cuba
| and urged that after the census, now in
progress, has been taken, the Washing
ton government should be told that the
time had arrived for making the island
independent.
| 1t is not to be doubted that the ex-
pressions at this meeting of such men
as Cespedes and Acea, the latter of
whom declared that he wanted either
independence or death, voiced the prac-
tically unanimous sentiment of those
who have struggled and sacrificed for
many years to make Cuba free. Grant
that among these people there are some
self-seeking politicians whose zeal for
independence is prompted chiefly by the
promise it holds out to them of power
and enrichment, yet there is no doubt
that the very large majority are AMI
mated by as sincere and profound an
aspiration for independence as that
which filled the souls of the founders OF
this republic. Cubans there are, un
questonably, who believe that annexa
tion or n protectorate would be better
for the material interests and welfare
: of the island than independence. Thest
; are the property holders and business
, men, but they constitute small minor

able influence. With these is the Span

NO CONGLOMERATE JUDICIARY.

The Bee has for years Steadfastly and
consistently favored every movement
promising to elevate the standard of
bench and bar. 1t has recognized the
fact that the position of judge calls for
qualifications of legal learning and
judicial temperament rather than polit-
ical partisanship and that. the best
lawyers in the community are none too
good to serve the people on the bench.
The Bee believes, however, that the
men nominated this year for judicial
office by the republicans are, taking all
things into comparison, so far superior
to their opponents that no person desir-
ing to maintain high standing for our
courts should hesitate to choose between
them in favor of the republican candi-
dates. The republican candidate for su-
preme judge and every one of the repub-
lcan candidates for district judges in
this district have had experience on the
bench that has demonstrated their
ability and fitness to act in that
capacity The republican candidates for
county judge and for police judge are
capable attorneys of good standing at
the bar, whose qualifications for the
respective positions will not be ques-
toned even by their opponents.
On the other hand, the opposing candi-
dates, with one or two exceptions, are
entirely without experience on the
| bench. Most Of them have yet to make
their mark in their profession, while all
of them secured their nominations by a
bargain and trade process between three
| fusion conventions that would have dis
graced pothouse politicians and mucl
more aspiring judges. AS a result, the
fusion nominees are place-hunters pure
and simple, asking the suffrages of the
voters, not out of desire to improve the
administration of justice, but to satisfy
personal ambitions stimulated by pro
fessional politicians.
While the World-Herald, as the cham
pion of a conglomerate judiciary, is in
dulging it's usual mudslinging pro
pensities against the republican judicia
candidates, it Is unnecessary to go int
the personalities of the fusion candi
dates, although several would not wei
Withstand the searchlight of publicity
The superiority of the republican
judicial ticket stands out so boldly tha
it should be elected practically withou

COKING WESTERN COAL.
A Discovery of Great Importance to
the West.

New York sun.
II 1t Is true, as reported from chicago,
that the soft coal of the west has been sue
cessfully coked by a new process, the dls-
covery will profoundly affect the iron lndus-
try and will greatly increase the production
of pig iron in the western states. 1t Will be
another step toward the wide dispersion
over the country of one of our great indus
tries. the reduction of iron ore. and Will
stimulate the growth of all kinds of iron
manufacturing in the western states. UP to
this time the great eastern centers OF iron
making have had decided advantage over
the blast furnaces of South Chicago, Mil
waukee and the smaller western lake ports
where pig iron is produced. While all are
chiefly dependent upon the Lake superior
mines for their ore, the eastern furnaces
are near the greatest sources of coke supply
in the world while the western furnaces
not only have to bring their ore from the
north, but also their coke or the coal from
which to make it from the east.
Raw coal is still used to some extent in
the production of iron ore, but it is waste
full and costly process. 1t was estimated IN
1894 that the pig iron produced in Scotland
by using as fuel about 1000 900 tons of raw
coal q year might be made at a saving Of
about $500, 900 year with coke as fuel Coke
has taken the place of wood, charcoal and
coal as the source of heat for iron ore
smelling because it is vastly superior to other
fuels for blast purposes. 1t gives far greater
heat than any other fuel, contains very lit
tie sulphur or other substances that are
harmful in iron smelling and saves by
products Of coal of large commercial value
that are wasted when raw coal is used for
smelling.
But only certain kinds of bituminous coal,
known as coking Goals, have been available
for the manufacture of coke, and the pre-
eminence of the Connellsvile region in west
ern Pennsylvania as the greatest of coke
| making districts is due to the prevalence Of
the best coking Goals in that neighborhood.
! Only a very inferior quality Of coke has
| hitherto been produced from the soft Goals
of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Utah. 1t Is
| now asserted that a superior quality of coke
may at last be produced from these Goals,
and that western coke may be supplied to
western furnaces at much smaller cost than
| the eastern coke.
| Last year these western blast furnaces
| smelted a little over fifth of the iron ore
| shipped from the Lake Superior mines. When
| they produce their coke at home they may
| be expected to take a larger share in all
| the industries to which iron ore gives rise.

THE FARMER SHARES PROSPERITY

THE FARMER SHARES PROSPERITY
The Bees review of Nebraska's crops
for the year 1899 presents an extremely
gratifying showing. 1t is story of
prosperity which can he neither contra
dicted nor explained away. 1t Is pros
perity which affects primarily the
farmer and through him every line
Of trade and industry. When the
farmer has money to spend the
country merchant prospers, the whole
saler comes next in line and the
mechanic finds employment in pro.
viding for the wants of all. 1t has been
one of the stock arguments of the calam-
ity orators who could not bring them
selves TO the point of denying the self
evident fact that the country was pros
porous that our prosperity affected only
the favored few. This exhibit conclu
slvcly disproves all such assertions.
one point of as vital Importance in de.
termiping the ultimate results as bounti-
ful crops is good prices for the product
of the farm. The policy of the repub'
llcan party put into effect by the admin
istration and republican congress has
opened the mills and factories, increas.
ing the consuming power of the people
and maintaining or raising prices. In
former years nature has been almost as
bountiful as this year, yet corn was so
low in price that thousands of bushels
of il were burned as fuel in Nebraska.
Cnttla wprp n lSO so low that even chpap
corn could not be fed with any profit.
Now cattle command better prices than
ever in recent years both before and
after fattening and even the high-priced
corn can be profitably put into the high
priced feeder cattle.
The farmer Is receiving full share of
the prevailing prosperity and it will be
found an impossibility to convince him
that he is not.
