CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Oem.) says:
1.-The clumsy fiction that the ships of
Dewey's squadron were withdrawn from
the line of battle at Manila in order that
the men might eat breakfast still per-
vades the news pages of silly newspapers.
Nothing of the sort ever happened, of
course. Grim war does not concern it
self with the meat and drink of men.
Dewey stopped fighting because a mistake
in signals had led him to believe that his
vessels had but seven rounds of ammuni-
ton left, instead of seventy, as was really
the case. When it was ascertained that
there was powder and shot enough on
hand, the battle was at once renewed
with no thought at any time of break
fast or of any other trivial human func-
ton"

Boer Losses Very HEAVY.

MoDDER RIVER, Dec. 5.-Ambulances
started early yesterday under the flag
of truce to collect the wounded and bury
the dead at Magersfontein. Brigadier
General Wauchope, who led the High
land brigade, was found dead near the
trenches, shot through the chest and
thigh. Several wounded were found
near the trenches. The side of the hill
and the immediate neighborhood Of the
Boer trenches showed dead bodies all
about One wounded Boer informed
the correspondent that their loss was
terrible. The whole Scandinavian con-
tingent was destroyed. Judging from
information cleaned from the Boer
wounded, the Boer loss must have been
700. The destruction wrought by the
naval guns was enormous. Word was
passed along the Boer lines to prepare
to retreat at nightfall. All confess that
it was their greatest loss during the war.
The British troops have returned to
Modder river, owing to the lack OF water
on the position held yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-With solemn

assemblage and in all the splendor Of
ideal autumn weather, the centennial Of
the death of George Washington was
commemorated yesterday at Mount Yer

That Mount Vernon should have been

was peculiarly fitting. There it was
that the happiest incidents of Washing
tons life occurred. In other parts he
endured his trials, on other fields he
won his triumphs; but there, surrounded
by those whom best he loved, We're
spent the restful, quiet, studious hours
Of his life. There it was, too, that he
sickened and died and there all that was
mortal of him was laid to eternal rest i'll

days ceremonies were elaborately
planned and successfully carried to

to the memory of the first president,

LONDON. Dec. 15.-The war Office is
still without news from Ladysmith,

general belief is that the large Boer
forces Lord Methuen encountered at
Lagersfontein were largely drawn from
Natal, and that General Butler will
strike blow before these have time to
return. The newspapers are calling on
the government to employ Cunarders,
as well as the White Star steamers, as
transports, seeing the urgent necessity
for getting more men to the Cape as
speedily as possible. Forty Thousand
men could still be sent from England
without calling on the military for for

The first antitrust repub-
lican platform was framed in
the state of Ohio after Attor-
ney General Monnett, the on
ly official connected with the
administration who made a
fight against trusts, was turn
ed down. And since that
time every republican con-
vention, both great and small,
followed with similar bun
combe. Even the one-horse
convention IN Barber county
got in a conglomeration of
words that some dupes con-
strue into an antitrust plank.
1t reads this way: 1.-THE re-
publican party has in the
past placed legislation on the
statute books of the state
and nation regulating trusts,
and can safely be depended
upon to do so in the future. "
We suppose, Of course, they
refer to the protective tariff
and gold standard as the
measures which they have
placed on the statute books to
regulate" trusts. Prior to
the civil war the trust was an
unknown quantity, now they
control 80 per cent of the
wealth of the country. No
wonder the trusts are whoop-
ing it up for the republican
party; they want to be ''regu-
lated" some more. In state
matters the republican party
has regulated" the stock
lpards and insurance trusts by
undoing all the work inaugu-
rated by its Populist prede-
cessors and thus practically
leaving the patrons of these
departments at the mercy of
the corporations. These, too,
are satisfied to "let we'll
enough alone" and we can
hear them all singing in Choir
us Lay on Your Regulations,
Ye Followers of the Tribe of
Hanna" Yes, the republican
party is opposed to trusts as
uncompromisingly as the dew
i'll is opposed to sin.

The republicans of Barber county
are faced with peculiar situation this
fall. Nearly all of the older members
who made it possible for the party to
regain power, have been brushed aside
by the young crowd and an impenetra-
Bile ring has been formed. The result
is that the old workers are not as en-
thusiastic as they formerly were and
some are independent enough to refuse
to wear the party collar and they will
assert their independence by voting the

politics.
