moral standpoint by some students
OF civil government. The vote 10

reaved family of General Lawton
has been commented upon un-
favorable by the representative

the sacrificed hero and lands his

that his family, those who were
dependent upon him, should re
ceive a public allowance sufficient 10
sustain them in a position becom-

Lawton will be prominent in his
tory during the natural life of the
survivors who boast of his name

The Fortunes of War.

The eye Of the civilized world
is upon the English geserals in
this present south African
campaign. These officers have
been held in high esteem, for many
years. Their repusa,ions fu
generalship were won in the
various wars OF the past decade
against the savage tribes which il
has been the policy of this great
government to subdue and reduce
to revenue producers. The
English have good regulations as
slayens of savages.
The English have been defeated
and repulsed on three occasions in
which they planned the attack
This, it is accepted as a consequence
was one of the accidents of war.
All the same 1t must go down as
bad generalshlp when the CON-
mander takes the initiative aud

ton npon his own volition. The
world at large will accept this
theory. The English people are

Silver and Prices.

The debate on the currency bill
in the house has called for some
observations on the recent advance
In the prices Of commodities, says
The New York Evening Post In
the campaign OF 1896, and for a
long time before, the advocates OF
binietalism rested their case mainly
on The great decline in general
prices that had taken place since
1873 They took that year as a
starting place, because it was the
year in which the ''crime" of
characterization was committed in
the United States. They were
able tn show pretty general de-
cline in prices during the 20 sue
ceeding years, but did not show
that it was due to the demonetiza-
ton of silver, or that it was a bad
thing ior the human race. 1t was
commended, on the other side, that
the decline was due to improved
methods of production and trans
portation, and that, however pro
duced, it was beneficial to man
kind The bianetalists, on the
whole. gained most from the
debate, because the average man
thinks more about the price he
obtains for the product that he sells
than for those which he buys. So
1t came TO pass that Bryan and his
followers went on swiminingly in
the campaign OF 1896 until about
the middle of August, when a sud
den advance in the price of wheat,
due to short crops in Europe
checked their career and led the
western farmers 10 think that there
might he a flaw in the bimetalis
argument. The price of whoa
| continued to advance till the da,
OF election. and did not stop eveI
then.
Although silver has not best

but has been demonetized il

him if it is due to the free coiuage
of silver. There is no end 10 The
pitt lis that the bimetalists pre-
pared tor themselves when they
made the rise aud all of prices the
the deciding factor in their
campaign. The truth OF the mat
ter is that general prices are de-
pendent upon causes too numerous
and too recondite to build political
parties upon. Economists of dis
tinction are not agreed upon them.
The cumulative theory t IN ney
is in a state of fux. The Delivers
in it are not agreed am oug them

One thing, however is certain. II
wages advance or remain stationary
then any genera Il decline Of the
prices is an advantage 10 the wage
workers, who are the grerter part
of the human race. Conversely, a

weakness in the PRONUNCIATION Of
policy and the execution OF the
commissions at the seat of war.
While the facts are revealed II
will be acknowledged that the
English officers have not earned
their epauIets in modern wars.
The gauge by which they have
been measured for regulations is
not the standard which

soldiers have filled.
No body doubts the valor of the
