Pretoria, Sept. 10.--The News to-day
prints an official statement from F. w.
Reitz, secretary of state of the South
African republic. in which Mr.. Reitz
says:
The government considers that three courses
are disclosed by the communications OF Joseph
Chamberlain, the British secretary OF state for
the colonies. The first is joint commission of
inquiry; the second is a commission of dele
gates from both governments to discuss techni-
calities and the third is a conference at Cape
Town.
Secretary Reitz adds that the Trans
vaal government now agrees to the
second proposition and invites Great
Britain to define the constitution of
the commission suggested and the
place of meeting.
To Ask n War Credit.
London, Sept. 10.-Among the re-
ports which followed the session of the
cabinet was one to the effect that a

Attitude of the United States.
Washing ton, Sept. 1O.-Because of
the large number of Americans en-
ployed in the Transvaal, the state de-
partment officials are closely watching
the developments in the diplomatic en-
gagement between the London govern
ment and President Kruger. Consid-
erable effort is being made to secure
the interference of this government,
but beyond an intention to be strictly
neutral and at the same time fully pro-
tect Americans and their interests, the
authorities do not propose to interfere.
1t is true there are about 2, 600 Ameri-
cans in the Transvaal but practically
all are in the employ of British mine
owners. Few Americans have any in

STAND BY THE PARTY.
Popniists Have Every Reason 20 BE Proud
OF Their Principles and Should Keep
Up Party Organization.

Many outside of the party argue that
simply because the populists have sup
ported William j. Bryan for president
and might do the same again, that
there is no reason for maintaining a
strict party organization. This is the
sheerest nonsense and the populists all
over the country should hold tight and
fast to every one of the tenets of the
party. There has never been a party
in existence that has been the force in
political and economical questions that
the populist party has. Never has a
party's thoughts and aims been SO i'm
pressed upon people as has the
thoughts and aims of the populist
party. Sneered at and jeered, the
things they have stood for have been
in "A great measure taken up by both
the old parties. The recognized funda-
mental principle of populism is justice
to all men, and it appeals to all men.
Populists never had more reason to
be proud of their beliefs than now, and
never lcore reason to stand by them.
Because we have seen fit to put prin-
ciple ahead of mere name is counted
by some a weakness, but it is our
strength. There are thousands of dem
ocrats and thousands of republicans
who have the courage to do the same.
They see need of reform and they
vote for it regardless of whether that
reform bears a certain label or not.
The only weak man is he who saws a
reform is not a reform unless it is done
by his party.
Let us close up our ranks and hold
ourselves in position to make our force
felt to secure that which is right-that
which is justice to all, failing to secure
this freely we will be in position to
force acquiescence to our beliefs.-Co-
lumbus (Kan.) Modern Light.

Makes Exceptions of soldiers.

President Mckinley still follows his
unbroken rule of committing a death
sentence passed upon soldier. This
time it is the case of private who
tried to kill one of his superior officers.
While the president is stickler for
discipline, he cannot be persuaded to
sign the death warrant of soldier.
Several soldiers have murdered their
comrades and been sentenced to death,
but the president has commuted their
sentences to life imprisonment, as he
did the Porto Rican who murdered the
American soldier on account of . love
