THE BDERS IN LEGISLATURE
QUEER DISCUSSION IN THE
NOLKSRAAD.
Some of the Things the Uitlanders
Could Not Put Up With in the
Transvaal

An interesting and comprehensive
statement of the grievances over
which the Uitlanders and the Beers
are fighting appears in the Sydney
Herald, with peculiar account of the
methods of the Boer Legislators, show
ing their habits of mingling religion
in all daily affairs. In 1892 the burg
hers were discussing the advisability
of taking steps to destroy the locusts
that were devastating their country,
and the following is an account of
the parliamentary be debate:
"AIr. Roos said locusts were a plag-
ne, as in the days of King Pharaoh
sent by God, and the country would
assuredly be loaded with shame and
obloquy if it tried to raise its hanu
against the mighty hand of the Al
mighty.
The Chairman related a true story
of man whose farm was always
spared by the locusts until one day
he caused some to be killed. His farm
was then devastated.
Mr.. Stoop conjured the members
llOI W constitute themselves ItDTcS-
trial gods and oppose the Almighty.
"Nlr. Lucas Meyer raised storm by
ridiculing the arguments of the for
mer speaker, and comparing the. To-
Gusts to beasts of prey which they
destroyed.
''Nlr. Labuschagne said the locusts
were quite different from beasts of
prey. They were special plague sent
| by God for their sinfulness."
The Beers are accused of gagging
the press, compelling the teaching of
the "Taal Dutch" dialect in all
schools; gross incompetency in gov
eminent; of conducting monopolies
by which they charge eXorbitant
prices for many necessaries; of pass
ing laws whereby foreign residents
may not be on juries that try their
fellowmen and whereby the president
has power to summarily exile from
the country anyone he chooses even
without any trial at all, and of deny
ing the right of public meeting.

CRANBERRIES.

The value of the cranberry as a me-
dicinal agent was early recognized by
American aborigines, who used to pre-
pare poultices of them to extract the
venom from wounds made with poison
ed arrows, on the same principles as they
are now often used as a poultice, or ia
ken internally. Eaten raw, cranberries
are also Known as an excellent remedy
for biliousness and Indigestion, as they
contain acid combinations not found in
any other fruit, and they are also val
ued as the best of toniCs and appetisers

PROOFS OF GOODNESS.

Trust apologists must explain
away several facts before they can
ask consumers to believe their reit-
Grated claim that trusts are good
for the country.
To-day the average cost of the
necessaries of life is Is per cent
higher than it was twelve months
ago.
Salt, which before the Salt Trust
was formed, sold for 83 cents a bar
rel, now sells at $3.50.
Meat, one of the main food staples
of our laboring population, has in
the American market been arbit-
rarily forced to an almost prohibit
tive price by the ice trust and the
beef combine; while in England,
Notwithstanding the cost of freight
and refrigeration, it is selling at
from one and a half to two cents
per pound less than is demanded
in. the United States.
Carpets are 20 per cent higher
than they were before the Carpet
Trust was organized.
Practically all the mills in New
England are controlled by trust.
Print cloths of every kind are sell
ing for three-quarters of cent more
per yard than they were a year ago,
The average increase in the price
of their products made by the iron,
steel and copper trusts is 40 per
cent.
The anthracite coal region is I'M
der trust control. This trust order
ed an advance of 25 per cent about
a month ago, and since then it has
put on an additional cents per ton.
About 300 trusts are now in an
active state of extortion throughout
the country, compelling consumers
in every instance to swell the divi-
dends of their stockholders
In the face of such facts, the man
who will persist in saying that the
trusts are good for the country has
bottomless profundity of belief in
human gullibility.

THE use of gold and silver coin
exclusively in the Pacific Coast
States since their first settlement
has always been in striking contrast
with the custom east of the Rocky
Mountains, where paper money and
greenbacks have always been the
popular currency Fasteners COM
ing here soon get used to the hand
ling of coin, and for all business
purposes, except where large
amounts are involved, they soon
come to prefer it to the use of rag
ged, soiled, and often filthy paper
currency. The bright silver dollar
and the shining double eagle are a
delight to the eye and their jingle a
pleasure to the ear.
The people in the East are pat
terning after the up-to-date West
in many ways, and the use of me-
tallic coin, instead of rag money!
is rapidly winning it's way toward
the Atlantic shores. 1t has already
become the prevailing currency in
St, Louis and Chicago, is fast tax
ing first place in New York, and
even in effete Boston the metallic
coins of the realm are no longer
carried as ''luck" pocket pieces, moi
held as curiosities.
