Whatever the result OF the Boer war may
be, Paul Kruger is sure Of a place in his-
tory. No more striking figure is now before
the worlds gaze. He may be uncouth; he
certainly is thrifty. But he has qualities
OF greatness and the world has become con-
scious in observing him that 1t is looking
on one OF the great characters of the cen
tury. The skill and courage OF the Boer in
this war cannot fail to win admiration,
whatever our sympathies may be, The
leaders of the Boer armies show themselves
to be men naturally gifted in war. The
conquest Of the Transvaal is no easy task.

A sure and effective way in which to
rid South Omaha of disreputable char
acters is to move at once for annexation
by Omaha and let the voters ratify such
action in the coming spring election. If
the officials of South Omaha cared any
thing for their official oaths they could
clean out the nests of corruption which
have scandalized that town, but the
remedy would be but temporary. An

Omaha's representative at the Fedora
tion of Labor convention has had the
door shut in his face. A little thing
like that, however, will not dampen the
ardor of organized labor in this city.
Omaha is reputed to be at present the
best organized city of its size in the
country and unionism cannot be re-
pressed so long as the interests of the
wageworkers are subserved by their
organizations.

Irrespective of sympathies in the
South African war the attitude of the
British people in the face of repeated
disaster to their arms must win them
admiration No one can doubt that the
officers responsible for their reverses,
either through ignorance or lack of ade-
quate preparation, will be made to an
swer for it. In the meantime, however,
the nation sets It's teeth, and, without
idle and useless tfault-fnding. rcdoubles
its determination to repair the damage.

Count Rocco Dianovich, an Austrian.
who has been tramping in all quarters of

He is stopping atthe Chesapeake House.
He paid his respects to the Governor
and the Mayor this morning and dropped
in the CAPITAL office. He left Wash
ington last Saturday and walked as far as
the House of Correction, taking in all the
towns and villages along the route, and
getting certificates from the officials with
the corpoi ate seals. that he had visited
the town. He thought the House of
Correction fine institution and well con-
Quoted. While here he will visit the
Naval Academy. the Jail and the public
schools, at which latter institutions he
gives interesting talks on his travels. The
Count speaks nine languages fiuen,ly,
besides his own. He has been tramping
around the world for thirty-six years,
having left his native country and home
when but boy of thirteen. His object
in travelling around the world is to get

His appearance is more than striking, II
is rather attractive--there is a distinque
air about him that is admirabe--a pur-
pose that though unique. is fixed. and an
independence that is seldom seen. He is
courteous, though at times brusque. His
conversation shows an intelligent obser-
vance OF people and things. His bag
gage consists OF a small grip with
change OF linen. He has several
large scrap books filled with official
letters Of mayors. consulates and
other prominent citizens OF cities and
towns. as well as columns Of press clip

In conclusion what shall we say of
Pixies Peak. We have failed to describe
its glorious splendor, for description fails

tract the eye anywhere. its foot hidden
in verdurous hills. guarded by knightly
crags. halt buried in seething clouds. its
helmet vertical. frowning, plumed with
cleaning snow. The tourist realizes that
he has reached that height. "around
