THE BoER WAR.

There is no reason, that we can
see, for the sympathizers of the
British to feel alarmed, because the
Beers have gained an advantage
which, as far as can be judged from
the newspapers, means that the ex-
pected has happened and the Trans
vaal gained the first move on the
South African chess board, where
the conflict is taking place. To call
the loss OF few batallions or bat
teries or even brigades the greatest
disaster of the century" is simply
bosb. The recent defeat at Lady
smith was not due to any special
strategic ability on the part of the
Beers; it was due to 40 unfortunate
circumstance which perhaps could
not have been foreseen. Horses are
intelligent and with little training
will soon learn their business, Mules
are not as traclable as their quad
ruped cousins, and to use them in
the field has, in this instance at least,
proven disastrous failure. The
battle in which many lives we're lost
was probably decided by the stam-
pede OF the mules drawing the artil-
lery wagons aud ammunition carts
When mule gets move on and
sets out on race Of his own, he is
generally followed by all the other
mules in the vicinity and nothing
can stop them except bullet or a
cyclone.

1t is repetition OF the old, old
story. Great Britain will always un-
derestimate her foes, and the London
Government will always believe that
q handful OF British soldiers can
wipe out the world. That was
proven in India, in Russia, 10 Africa,
especially in Soudan. The war office
theory is failure. Another lesson
has now been taught to the proud
Britons, and we can rest assured that
now will sufficient men be dispatch
ed to the scene OF war there to crush
the people who defy the Lion OF
Great Britain. But why lives should
be sacrificed in vain, besides the loss
Of money and property, to pay the
blunders OF Statesmen who cling to
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-11-08

The battle lost by the British will
always he remembered, because the
men, in the true spirit of their great
country, kept up the fight until the
last cartridge had been fred and
the affair had become absolutely
hopeless and their position unten-
able. 1t is a pity that many lives
were lost and that many brave and
valuable officers are in captivity, but
they are not the "only pebbles on
the beach OF Great Britain"

The program for the coming week at

the fact that IL is headed by an act
that has been pronounced the most
sensational and thrilling ever given in
vaudeville. and at the same time the
most costly, and the return Of three
acts which made popular hits earlier
in the present season.
The leading feature is the appearance

There have been a good many at
tempts made from time TO time TO in
terest the clergy of this city in stage
offerings. Most of them have failed
generally, presumably for the reason
that ministers are as wide awake as
the proverbal weasal, and as decidedly
careful about allowing himself to be
trapped. Then. too, much of the mate
rial which has been used TO appeal to
ministers has not been OF the sort to
enchain their friendly regard. Hall

that the people are attracted, but by a
strong, manly and vigorous preaching
of the old time gospel in all it's SIM

started last Sunday, which was largely
attended and very much enjoyed by all.
The testimonies from all showed how
the sermon had reached their hearts
and brought comfort as we'll as con.
