Extent of the Beers Domain.

Any one who will study a map
of South Africa will be able to un-
derstand few of the reasons why
the British war Office feels it nee
essary to IN, billie so large force
to subdue the South African Re-
pu lie and its ally, the Orange
Free State. When the All 1 lnders
finally secured the recognition OF
their claims, in the convention OF
1851, they were allowed to fix
their boundaries about a territory
of II9,I39 .quare miles. The ma
ton which has been commonly
known as a petty republic and
which some Of the London Journals
now characterize as 'truntpery
little state" is, therefore, in reality
nearly as large, terrilorially, as
New Mexico. and larger than all
New England together with New
York. The Transvaal is con-
siderably more than half as large
as either Frame or Germany, and
| il is larger than Italy. 1t and the
Orange Free State comprise ter
ritory about equal to that o
Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan
combined.

congratulated the country on the
prevailing widespread prosperity.
The Commercial Club speech dit
fered from others of the same gen
eral tenor, however, i'll that the
president took occasion to warn
his hearers against the excuses
frequently attendant upon pros
r,erous times. The DULY fear /
have had" said the President, lis
that we might overdo it, and that
really we were not exercising that
cons ervatism that is so essential to
substantial business. "
The warning is to the point.
There is a considerable spe cula'ive
element in the business world tina
seeks to play uron the prevailing
optimistic sentiment for its own
selfish advantage to the detriment
ci legitimate business interests
This is especially true OF the trust
promoters. Many of the trusts
that have sprung up so rapidly oil
late are not natural Developments

lized and overcapitalized in many
instances primarily for the purpose
Of enabling promoters to palm OF

LAND in their fall they are certain t
carry down some legitimate enter

vent such a serious reaction, wit
Its injurious cons, quences to III

vestors to beware at all times OF til
