reproduced by that publication from

by British power, beaten and driven
anew, until, exhausted and impover-
ished, he reached what is now the
Orange Free State and the Transvaal,
a land apparently so bad, so poor and
so unsuitable for habitation by civil
lied people as not to be worthy of
being ruled under England's civilized
and luxurious government. There
fore it was good enough to be left to
the despicable, stupid Boer, and Great
Britain renounced all claim to the north
of the great (Orange) river and 10 the
north of the Faal river, and the two
Boer republics were established in
1852 and 1854. The Beers, now free
from British interference and control,
extended their hospitality to every ma
tionality, trusting the alien as I'M
plicitly as their own kith and kin, an
evidence of which was the admission
of raw" Americans. Englishmen and
others-ignorant of the Dutch Ian
guage-to the volksraad of 1879 and
other periods. Eventually, in this
worthless country, gold and diamonds
were found. This attracted swarms
of English capitalists and fortune
hunters. Then England returned to
her old tricks and Joubert now patri-
otiotically exclaims: I'VE hope and
pray for peace, but we will not aban-
don our republic and our independence
so long as we live, cost what il may"

A Strike Epidemic.

Strikes are serious things. and in view of the
number that have occurred, it is well to re-
member that until the cause be removed dis
satisfaction will depreciate work and prove a
menace TO society. But it is not only the com
merciaI life which has its strikes. The whole
country is grooming under the strike OF the
stomach and many people make the mistake
OF trying to suppress the symptoms instead
of removing the cause. There is but one sure
way OF curing the ills which arise from a rebel
liouS stomach and that is by an honest
use of Hostetter's Stomach BitterS. Use it
for indigestion constipation. dyspepsia, bill
iousness liver OF kidney trouble. and see that
a private revenue stamp covers the neck of

Wines called attention to the fact that
charity work is the uplifting of man; not
mere almsgiving. 1t would seem, though,
that the tendency of charity is to degrade
rather than to uplift. The speaker ad-

cuniary relief for other forms for the up
lifting Of humanity Is a tendency calculated
to lower our ideals.

Lectures on French and Spanish Jur-
isprudeuce

The Columbian University has just COM
pleted an arrangement for a very important
and gratifying addition to its already very
thorough course OH comparative iurispru-
dence in Its school of comparative juris-
prudence and diplomacy. Mr.. Edward H.
Strobel, LII. B., who is the '.Bemis pro-
fessor' of international law at Harvard
University, has been engaged to deliver
two special series of lectures before this
school. one on the jurisprudence of France
in the early part of February, and the
other on the jurisprudence of Spain during
April.
Mr.. Strobers experience has been such
as to give him a peculiar fitness for han
ding these subjects, having been third as
sistant secretary of state during President
Cieveland's second administration, and also
secretary of the United States legation at
Madrid. He is regarded by many leading
public men as one of the best informed men
on the subject of the laws of European ma
tons in the country.
1t Is gratifying to know that the school
of comparative jurisprudence and diplo-
macy has secured the services of so many
such men to add to its already high stand
ard of efficiency.
