A "PIG-sT1CKING'' WAR.
It is not strange that the libert

1t is not strange that the liberal
organs and other papers of
England still protesting against
the war in South Africa should
make much of the savagery of the
British Lancers as displayed in
their method of fighting the Beers.
'Most excellent "pig-sticking" en-
sued for about ten minutes, tho
bag being about sixty" writes one
British officer in describing a
recent charge of the Lancers.
"One of our men stuck his lance
through two, killing both at one
thrust" And u Dragon corporal
says: "The Beers fell off their
horses calling for mercy, calling
to be shot-anything to escape q
stab from those terrible lances
through their backs and bowels.
But not many escaped. We just
gave them good dig as they lay.
Next day most of the lances were
bloody" This kind of talk would
be bad enough coming from blood
thirsty Zulus proud of their
merciless use of the assegais with
which they 'transfix their enemies,
regardless of their piteous calling
for mercy" But from the soldiers
of England, "the missionary ma
tion,' it is APPALLING in its frank
confession of ruthless methods of
warfare. The story is one that
may not be read with satisfaction
by any man proud of the English
blood in his vains. It should not
be possible as told of a people so
brave and fair minded as the
English are wont to be. The
English newspapers that condemn
pig sticking in civilized war will
find popular sentiment on their
side in the end. The British peo-
pie will not in their hearts ap-
prove a reversal to savagery on
the battlefield. The ssabbing of
PROSTATE and pleading enemies
Through their backs aud bowels
is not a pleasant spectacle for
Nineteenth Century civilization.

RIDICULOUS REPORTS.

Careful reading of dispatches
from South Africa must convince
h'ushtful people that there are
stories to be told which will only
reach the public when history is
written. In Thursdays report for
instance-and this has occurred
many times-The British report
in definite words that "the Boer
loss must exceed 7e0," and that
",ne whole Scandinavian corps
was destroyed" at Magersfontein
(Modder River battle). Yet in
the first instance the reports all
agreed it was a repulse for the
British, who simply could not
stand the deadly FIRE of the con-
cealed enemy. No mortal man
could stand it. Under the circum-
stances, then, one must wonder
how the British reports can state
the enemy's loss, and expect it to
be taken as accurate, when they
cannot give their own casualties
except in a general way-"our
loss WAS very heavy" Again,
Gen. French is quoted as report
ing "a skirmish" with 1900 Beers,
Fighting on a front of fourteen
miles" But the general states
that 'the Beers retired with a
loss of forty killed and Wounded -
Such reports must be regarded as
nothing short of ridiculous, but
they have been very numerous
since this war began. That the
losses On both sides have been
very large no one will doubt; but
that concealed, foxy enemy,
shooting with deadly accuracy at
massed troops, will suffer as badly
AS the latter no one viii for q
moment believe. Such vslor as
the British batallions are giving
evidence of has never been sur
passed In the worlds history
but they have certainly met foe
men worthy of their steel.

TWENTIETH CENTURY.

The pspaL decree permitting the
celebration of mass in ali Roman
Catholic churches at midnight
Dec, 81: 1899, was announced by
the daily papers of las. week. a
point Of peculiar interest in this
decree is that it desigrates the
31st of this month as the last day
Of the nineteenth century and the
first of January, 1900, as the be-
ginning of the twentieth, the Ian
guage employed being as follows:
Therefore, in order that the year 1900,
which is about to begin. and which 1t Is
to be devoutly hoped will usher in a far
more happy century may. by the aid of

where the most holy eucharist Is kept,
according to the prudent judgment OF
the ordinary. the most august sacrament
may be exposed for alteration. and he
grants also the permission 20 say or to

TINS exposed aud st that hour only one

grants to the faithful the special privilege
Of receiving holy communion az the

celebration of the mass.
The permission to celebrate the
mass at midnight Dec. 81, 1900.
might possibly be interpreted to
mean that the coming year will
usher in the new century, in
the sense of preceding it, and
that, after all, the pope's meaning
is that the twentieth century
begins Jan. l, 1901, but Mgr.
Martinelli himself has drawn at
tention to the portion of the decree
in question, indicating that he re-
CARDS it as designating the year
1900 as the first of the twentieth
century. Interesting also in this
connection is the fact that the
Emper of Germany has ordered
the appropriate decoration OF
stamps next year in honor of the
new century.
