A MEETING WITH JOUBERT.
Crushed the Zuius and Would
"Tra-a-i" to Crush the English.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Some twenty years ago l was sitting in Il
Southampton bound carriage at Waterloo
station, when three burly men, evidently
foreigners, entered my compartment They
had a lot of luggage, including many cigar
boxes. One was dark. saturnne and
sleepy. Another fell asleep at once The
third man sat opposite to me. l can only
describe him as huge. l had read of
Dutchmen, but this mans hands as they
rested on his enormous knees were nearly
a foot across. There was a sense OF ele-
phantine power about him. He looked as

didn't want to-he wanted a light.
I noticed and supplied the want, and he

the rransvaal Beers who had come to Eng
land to protest against the annexation of
their country, had failed to impress Lord
Kimberley, and were going home, seeing
Paris en- route via Southampton and
HaVre.
Mr.. Joubert was very bitter about his
failure with our colonial office. and very
frank. To my ignorant mind-as ignorant

Significance of the Elections.

Among right thinking and fair minded
people there is and can be but one con-
clusion formed as to the true signif-
canoe of the elections of November.
1899 namely, that the country is in
cordial accord with the national ad.
ministration in matters of national
policy. This conclusion is we'll ex-
pressed by the New York Evening
Post, as follows:
Although no Federal officials were
chosen yesterday, except in four con-
gressional districts to fill vacancies in
the house of representative, national
aspect was given to the campaign in so
many states that the result must be &C.
copied as verdict of the country on
the Mckinley administration. and es-
pecially on its policy of expansion. The
judgment of the people was so clearly
expressed that no room is left for doubt
as to the attitude of the nation.
This, coming from a newspaper noted
for its hostility to republican doctrines
and measures, and especially noted for
its bitter antagonism toward the policy
of President Mckinley in reference to
the requirement of new territory for
the expansion of American trade and in
fluence, is an unlocked for recognition
of the plain meaning of the verdict just
rendered by the American people. 1t
is recognition of the fact that the
voters of this country have condemned
Organism and Endorsed McKinleyism.
There can be no doubt of it.
The fact that SO conclusive a verdict
has been rendered in an "off year."
when the successful party was deprived
of the advantage of contrasting the issue
on national lines, is at once a compli-
ment of which President Mckinley may
we'll and doubtless does feel proud, and
an assurance that the hearts and minds
of the people are in thorough sympathy
with an administration that has proven
itself to be an American administration
in the broadcast, deepest, grandest sense
of the word.

Have Used American Goods.

There is bitter complaint among the
manufacturers of wooden goods in Eng
land that Americans have practically
ceased to buy of them. Under the Will
son low duty tariff we purchased wooden
manufactures in one year to the value
of $40, 162,992. With the freight and
other charges added these goods cost
the American consumers $50. 600, 600
and the profit went into the pockets of
the foreign manufacturers. Under the
present tariff law we purchased but
S13,S31, 1907. Is it strange that the
foreign manufacturers should grumble
at the loss of this trade?
We have used all the wooden goods
we needed, we have found no fault
with the quality, and the prices have
not been unreasonable. The difference
is that we have used American goods,
made in American factories by Ameri-
can workingmen and women and have
kept our money in the American family
instead of paying to foreigners.-San-

The Elections.

From Harper's Weekly:
1t is evident from the recent elections
that If Bryan is the next democratic candi-
date he will stand for the already defeated
side of the currency question, and that he
cannot possibly be regarded by the voters
from any other point of view. This means,
of course. the defeat of the democratic
party and the reelection of Mr.. Mckinley,
no matter what the verdict might be ON any
other issues which will be emphasized by
Mr.. Bryan and his party's stump speakers.
The evidence of the sOundness of these prop
osition is afforded by the manner In which
the farmers voted. The cities, as a rule,
returned to their allegiance to the demo-
cratic party, but the republicans quite held
their own i'm the country. There were
many republican losses, 1t is true, in the
rural towns of Massachusetts, but they
were mainly due to the falling off in the
total vote. In New York again, and In
Ohio, the country voted against the demo.
Gratis and in favor of the republicans. 1t
Is evident that the democrats did not hold
the republican farmers In Ohio who went
off after Bryan and silver in 1860 going
of that was in reality an illogical protest
against the panic of 1898 and the year Of
depression that followed 1t. The same con.
clusion is forced upon us by an examina-
ton of the returns from South Dakota.
In word, we think that the vote OF the
rural parts of New York, Ohio, and South
Dakota indicates the soundness of our as
sertion that Bryan cannot be elected so long
as he continues to be regarded as the ex'
ponent of the free coinage theory. The
farmers are satisfied this year. where three
years ago they we're disconnected. No
preacher of discomfort or prophet of disas-
ter can win 6,500,O00 of votes In rural
America in time of prosperity so
great as that which is now making the
country happy. The rural vote also shows
that Bryan's anti-imperialism Is not taken
seriously into account by the farmers.
This is especially clear from the vote In
Iowa, where the democrats made this the
only issue, the result of both Organism and

On November 1, 1896, few days be-
fore Mr.. Bryan's defeat in his race for
the presidency, the money in circulation
in the United States was 81, 627 O55, Ga.
During that campaign Mr.. Bryan was
shouting necessarily that this was not
enough money to carry on the business
of the United States and that no in
crease in circulation was possible with
out free silver. On November 1, 1899,
three years later, the money in circula-
