But Their Action Creates Suspicion

London, Aug. 19.-The Johannesburg,
correspondent of the Daily Mail IS: r.
learn that instead of replying thyme
proposal of Mr.. Chamberlain to refer
the franchise controversy to joint
commission of inquiry. the Transvaal
government will intimate its willing
ness to grant five years simple fran
ciliSc, retrospective and unclouded by
restrictions, and that the representa-
ton of the gold fields will be extended
to one-fnurth of the volksraad. thus
exceeding the fifth demanded by Sir
Alfred Miller. and rendering an in
quily into the present franchise law
unnecessary. Nothing will be demand
e.! in return for these concessions, but
& suggestion will be made that the
imperial government should grant
something reciprocal This apparent
surrender must, however be received
with caution. Unless the new laws
are properly secured by effectual
guarantees they may only be intended
to grant the shadow of reforms with
the object of gaining time and placing
Great Britain at disadvantage.
The Johannesburg correspondent of
the Morning Post says: 1t is stated
or all hands that the Beers are threat
ening that in the event of war they
will murder all Englishmen and out
rage their women. All the burghers
in the Krugersdorp district were
warned to take the field ut moments
notice.

Every day that brings Admiral Dew
ey nearer home also brings increased
evidence of the great esteem in which
he is held by his countrymen. Since
Grants time no other man has ap-
preached this popularity. He stands
quite alone, and the whole nation is
getting ready to welcome him in Oc-
tober. In view of this indubitable
fact, how account for the paucity of
the popular offering for the Dewey
home fund.-? Stinginess never was a
characteristic of the American people.
But only $4,000 is forthcoming for the
alleged object of the nations highest
esteem. There is only one answer to
this conundrum, which is that the peo-
pie take little stock in home fund"
raised by public subscription. APP
parently it savors too much of passing
the hat.

The Supreme Court of Indiana has
rendered far-reaching decision in a
suit brought by citizens of Portland
against a natural gas and oil COM
pany which, it was claimed, had en-
tered into an illegal combination to
raise the price of its product. The
plaintiffs were sustained, the decision
which, it is asserted, will apply to
many trusts-being based on the COM

is an old and familiar MAXIM" said the
court, that competition is the life of

petition, or even relaxes it, upon the
part of those who sustain relations to

injurious to public interests, and is,
therefore, deemed to be unlawful

One of the proverbial "long-felt
wants" bids fair to be filled in the es-
Enlistment of schools of domestic
economy, which shall teach the arts
of housekeeping and of caring for the
welfare of family life. If young men
are taught to provide the money need
ed for maintenance of families, it
seems desirable that young women
should be taught, with equal care, how
to apply it to the best advantage.
