Cleveland than as an assertion OF his
own political faith. But things have
changed. 1t is necessary now that Mr..
Hill tell what he is-provided there be
public that cares one way or the
other about him. Surely. he is no DEM
ocrat. He can prove that he is not
by the two highest authorities. namely,
the national democratic committee and
the state committee of New York
The pertinent fact is that, for the
welfare of the great democratic party
that presses onward with the banner
of free coinage, it makes mighty little
odds what this New York renegade
is or is not The most amusing tea
ture in this Hill whirligig business is
that on a sudden and with one accord
the republican organs have struck up
in chorus praise of him. Always in
the past they have denounced him as
a kitchen politician. But they love
him now because he affects to be Tor
their gold-standard schemes.

The New War.

~ VEN if one consults the map
faithfully, it is next to impos-
sible to tell how the contending
forces in the Boer war are moving and
what they are about. The press service
tells of advances and REFUSES and
ilosses, and the reader Of the dispatches
bis. in the end. uncertain as to which
}side really got the better of it, or
whether either side did anything
+ One%thing, however, Is clear-the CEN
,sor is armed for the fray, and thus
early in the game he is getting his
deadly work in. We read under one
date that the Beers have sustained
heavy losses, and under another date
nhat half dozen Beers were killed with
mo British losses, and under a third
date that the Beers lost two hundred
iand the British eighteen, and so on and
so on.
For aleth world how like our own
Otis! To be sure, the Britishers don't
make the contrasts quite as glarng as
Otis has made them in his censored dis
patches, but they are doing admira bly,
well for beginners. Just the same, if
parliament wants genius in the art of
,inventing dispatches with fearful losses
for the other fellows and everybody on
the English side alive and WE'LL it ought
to retain Otis. He is a pastgrand at
the business, we can spare him: and
Tthus shall British arms prevail-on
paper, anyhow.
/ However, the situation has its deeply
lserious side. The present hour finds the
Beers moving armies at points widely
separated, in the hope manifestiy, that
aggressive action taken promptly will
make it difficult for the enemy to APP
proach their citadel from either African
coast. If it be true that the English
policy is to be the reverse of that
adopted by the Beers, there must be
a pretty long interval of time before
any decisive action is taken. Probable
it is that the advancing Beers will be
found, weeks hence, slowly Withdrawing
again from coast points.
Parliament is in session. All the fore
casts are to the effect that al this Off
cial fountain of funds whereWith to
fight the new war will get cordial sus-
tanning. That strong sentiment hos
tile to the war prevails in England, is
well known, but the strength Of this
hostility will not be measured by the
parliament's vote in favor of furnishing
war fund. 1t will prevail, and the
flag will be set flying over the appro-
priayted millions. That is the way the
thing is done: that's the way our con-
/ gress did when money wherewith to
fight Spain was called for.
And, as this rich and powerful repub-
Aic of ours whipped the pusilanimous
regency in Spain, so, in the end, right
or wrong, sooner or later, the mighty
monarchy having its seat at London
will crush the poor devils down Trans
wall way. To what good purpose?

A PRO-ENGL|SH OPINION
OF THE TRANSVAAL WAR

The story of the dictatorial and obstin-
ate old man, who grows more overbear-
ing and impatient with the years, has
been told in full. For the children OF
this patriarch, this impossibility. there
is nothing too good for the offspring
of others, white though they be, there
is nothing too bad. And the blood of
the blacks reddens the story from be-
ginning to end--a. story which would
be incomplete without the crack of the
saturated lash.
There is freedom in the Transyaal,
but it is freedom for the few and OPP
preston for the many. Rights are re-
spected in the Transvaal, but they are
rights the roots of which are buried
deep in wrongs white men cure rather
than endure. If sympathy must be ex-
pressed let it go to the mark. Oppres-
sion, barbarity, tyranny are no target
for it.. We are only a little older than
the war with Spain and we waged that
war. 1t was fight against oppression,
barbarity and tyranny. The fight on
the hands of, England now is of the
same brand. 1t is the cause of culture
and progress against medievalism,
crudity. prejudice and fanaticisn. 1t
is a fight against the entrenchment of
the few at the expense Of the many.
1t is fight not against but for the peo-
pie of the Transvaal, if it be fair to call
three out of four the people. And what
ever the more immediate fortunes Of
the war may be, in the end medieval
ism will make way for the modern. The
ultimatum is "a death warrant. It Is
the beginning Of the end Of monstrous
discrimination, of bigotry and OF thinly
disguised barbarism. and not too soon
by the end can the beginning be over
taken.

Dewey and Mckinley.

~HERE is still considerable talk
of nominating Admiral Dewey
for the presidency. notwith-
standing Mr.. Hanna's declaration that
1T is indecent to mention him in such
q connection.
1t is not very likely that either party
will name the admiral as its candidate
The democratic party almost certainly
will not for two reasons: First, it has
never received an intimation that Ad-
miral Dewey is in harmony with its
views as expressed in the Chicago plat
form and enunciated by many state
conventions since. Dewey is probably
not in very close sympathy with the
administrations Philippine policy, but
that is only one of the questions before
the country. and the democratic party
Is not likely to nominate any man
whose opinions upon public questions
generally, particularly economic ques-
tons, are absolutely unknown, merely
because he won a brilliant victory in
Manila bay.
Secondly, the party seems to be al
ready so far committed to Mr.. Bryan
that nothing short of a miracle can
defeat him for the nomination. About

On the Way.

yE may all believe that the MEM
" bers Of the First Montana are
glad to make their adieux to
San Francisco and start on the Journey
that will land them among friends at
home. Not that these soldiers love San
Francisco less, but because-well, the
rest doesn't need reciting.
There had to be little method about
the journey on which the troops will
start tonight. 1t will be so planned as
to give them brief stay at certain cities
along the way and an opportunity to
see the country at interesting Pacific
coast points, by way of the Shasta
route and Portland and Idaho and Po-
catello and Dillon.
Under this schedule the arrival at
Butte is timed with reference to the re-
ception which Butte is preparing: as
has been announced, the soldiers are
expected to reach home next Monday
morning. For the success OF the re-
ception nothing in the world is lack
ing now except the kindly offices of the
clerk of the weather. If the skies are
fair from now till next Monday night,
Butte and the soldiers will do the rest;
and there'll be day in Butte the story
Of which the young fry of to-day will
tell to their grandchildren.

the Shamrock, 80 as to relieve the top
mast Of any unnecessary strain. In ~
minutes she went about again to star
board and II minutes later she made
her last tack for the first mark. In
three minutes and half she was up
to the mark and, keeping off, round
ed it.
AS she eased sheets new lib topsail
was broken out and the white yacht
began her 10-mile reach for the second
mark. Her official time at the turn
was 12:392s, showing that she had COW
cred the distance to windward, about
IA miles, in one hour, SO minutes and
IL seconds.
The reach to the second mark was
devoid of interest. She continued to
carry her jib topsail until the second
mark was nearly reached. The second
mark was gybed around at 1921 Her
elapsed time for this leg was So min
utes and 80 seconds-a little better than
10 miles an hour
Setting the balloon lib topsail few
minutes after rounding this mark, the
Columbia headed north northeast for
the home mark. On this last leg of 10
miles the wind lightened considerably
and the yachts speed was not as good
as on the previous leg. 1t took her
one hour, three minutes and so seconds
little to the westward as she ap-
preached the finish line, so the baby
jib topsail was taken in and the small
jib topsail set. At 2:37:17 the Columbia
crossed the finish line between the red
lightship and the committee boat, a win
ner Of the second race of the interna-
tional series. She was greeted by the
usual steam whistle applause and was
soon after towed to her mornings In
the horseshoe, back of Sandy Hook.
When the committee boat arrived in
Sandy Hook bay the regatta commit
tee found that the Shamrock had been
towed to Erie basin, where she is to be
fitted with a new topmast and remeas-
ured. The committee at once paid
visit to Sir Thomas Upton and to Com
modore Morgan, who was there with
his steam yacht Corsair, also to Mr..
Iselin.
On the Columbia's deck a consulta-
ton was held. which resulted in the
decision that the Shamrock should be
allowed one day to repair damages and
that the next race would be sailed on
Thursday. 1t will be is miles to wind
ward or leeward and return.

The Accident Caused Constern alton and
Dismay on the Tender.
Sandy Hook, N. J., Oct. 17.--The Erin,
with about 100 of Sir Thomas Lipton's
friends aboard, left her anchorage in
the horseshoe at about 10 o'clock on
the way to the stake boat. When the
Shamrock went over the starting line
to-day all hands agreed she was being
beautifully handled and that she would
be able to hold her own, and so it ap-
peared from the Erin's deck until sud-
denly the topmast snapped. AT this
time hundred glasses We're leveled on
the racers from the Erin's deck Sud-
denly someone shouted:
1.-The Shamrock is in trouble; look at
her topsail fluttering."
Her topmast has snapped" cried
another, and then came cries of con-
sternation and dismay from all parts
of the Erin, as it became apparent the
mishap was fatal one. Sir Thomas,
on the bridge, never flinched nor
changed countenance. Turning to DR..
Mackie and Captain Matthews, who
stood at his elbow, he said, in a calm,
low voice:
I'VE had better go to her assistance,
captain. Someone may be injured and
require your services. DOCTOR

pathy, Sir Thomas replied: It's too

The Erin came alongside the crippled
racer DR.. Mackie shouted through the
megaphone to those on board:

tive reply, and Sir Thomas looked re-
lieved.
1T does not matter so much" he
said, now that We know that no one
was killed or crippled
When asked If he blamed anyone for
the accident, he replied:
oh, no. indeed; it could not be avoid

by loose bolt or a broken backstay.

He Got the Worst OF 1t.

Z YEARS ago David b. Hill slid into
" prominence on the pronounce
ment, IT am a democrat" At
that time Mr.. Hill put the emphasis on
the a." Grover Cleveland had come
into the presidency, Hill proposed to
fight Cleveland, and he undertook TO
make it appear that Cleveland vas no
democrat.
Later OLA good many years later
Hill himself was in open rebellion
against the platform and the candi-
date OF the national democratic party.
He was not putting strong emphasis
on the personal pronoun in those days.
He went out of sight. and in his soli-
tude he reckoned 1t out that soon silver
would be dead and Bryan forgotten,
and that then he could pose again as
the imperEonation of American denoc-
racy.
This year Mr.. Hill fattered himself
that for his resurrection the time was
ripe. He essayed to take the leader
ship in his own state; with the result
that he IS out not only with the elo-
ments that will do the acting ana the
talking for democracy next year, in
national affairs, but, as well, with the
democrats who are in the manage
ment OF affairs in hi. own state--they
will have none Of him.

ago, when he tossed off the phrase

As 1t Affects America.

rs COMMERCIALLY, the Anglo Boer
~ war is not an unmixed blessing to
the United States. England's
demand for grain, mules and canned
beef may increase, but on the other
hand our trade with the Transvaal,
which was just assuming respectable
proportions, will go by the board. Fig
ures given by London authority show
that the value of American exports
to Africa is five times as great now as
it was in 1889, and large percentage
of this increase has gone to the Trans
vaal. In 1889 American exports to
Africa We're valued at 50, 49e,5o5, where
as in the fiscal year ending June so.
1899, they amounted to s1S,594,424.
In commenting upon the demand for
American mining machinery in the
Transvaal, the Denver Republican
traces the connection between this de-
-rnand and the employment Of Ameri-
cans as mining engineers and mana
gers Of mining companies. Such men
being accustomed to American machin-
cry naturally prefer 1t to that of Brit
ish manufacture. Thus American ma
chinery manufacturers reap a profit
from the employment of American min
ing engineers in Transvaal mines. Con-
nection may also be traced to Ameri-
can mining schools. Graduates from
American schools of mines are found
in nearly every part of the mining
world, thus showing that there is
a commercial advantage in maintaining
good institutions of this kind. Eas,

REPAIRING DAMAGES.
shamrock's Standing Rigging All Badly
Wrenched,

Wrenched.
New York. Oct. 17.--After the mishap
the Shamrock was towed at once to
Erie basin, first going to the horse
shoe. One English outward bound
steamer dipped her colors in mourn
full salute. Once in the Erie basin she
was warped up to the end of pier
next to an army transport. The crew
set to work at once The wreckage had
been cleared away before the boat left
the course. That was about all that
could be done, for the big topsail had
been torn and the standing rigging was
all badly wrenched The tender Ply
mouth had the most of this work and
she arrived about. 8 p. m with Mr..
Ratsey on board. No time was lost.
The sailmakers were set at their labprs
at once on the upper deck of the Ply
mouth while the riggers went aboard.
Nobody seemed to know just what the
plans for the future were.
"All we know" said one of the Off
GERS, sis that we are to repair things
as soon as possible. We have none TOO
much time and we will keep at it,"
The lights on the tender burned we'll
into the night, an evidence that this
was being done.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.


England appears to be on the thresh-
hold of a lavish expenditure of blood
and money. From a little capital of
little state she has received an ultima
tum. 1t has to all intents and purposes
been flung in her face. 1t demands the
immediate withdrawal of British
troops. 1t carries with it other stipu-
lations, with war as the alternative of
failure to instantly comply. That is to
say, the great empire must make
obeisance to the little state or take the
consequences. The consequences will
be taken. incidentally, it is safe to
say that knowledge of the petition will
never be acquired in London-its ex
istence will be officially ignored. Eng
land is not rushing blindly into war.
Unless all signs are misleading, thou
sands of those who follow her flag will
before long find graves in Africa. 1t is
certain that for their subjugation the
Beers will exact a tremendous price.
With reluctance and determination the
British will pay it. In the end that
which is a republic only in name will
go down.
The richest Boer in the Transvaal is
the president himself. His rule is as
absolute as that of the car of Russia.
He is an anachronism. He is at the
head of a privileged class. This class
is a small minority. Every law that
goes upon the Boer statute books is
drawn with reference to it's privileges
and with the purpose of perpetuating
them. Every law is drawn to the Diet
