GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO FRIDAY SEPTEMBER g. 1899
THE BOER SIDE OF 1T.

New York-From the government oi
Pretoria to the World, New York.
Gladly accede to your request to put
the Boer side before the American pub
lie.
The present agitation against the re-
public emanates partly from certain
section Of British residents to whom the
existence Of the republic, which embra-
ces the most hourishipg parts of South
Africa, is standing eyesore, and who
suffer from the prevailing jingo mania;
partly, also, from mining capitalists,
who, not content with having here the
best mining laws in the world, wish also
to have complete control of all legisla.
tion and administration.
The franchise voting question was
taken up (by England) because it was
thought the republic would not yield on
that point. Now that the altered frau
chise does not materially differ from the
American, it is in many respects easier,
the agitation has become much worse.
The object clearly is the destruction Of
our republic and the complete control of
the richest mines in the world.
The press, entirely controlled by cap
italists, spreads unprecedented misrep-
resentation and prejudice throughout
the world against the Boer republic.
We are determined to defend to the
utmost that freedom and self-govern-
ment for which our people have shed
blood in every part OF South Africa.
Though we have no such powerful
friend as you proved to Venezuela and
to other republics, we have strong faith
that the cause of freedom and republi-
canism will triumph in the end.

Philadelphia-The thirty third annual
encampment OF the Grand Army Of the
Republic came to an end tonight.
The election of commander in chief
which it was supposed would only be
settled after warm contest, was carried
out in the most peaceable manner imag-
Unable.
Colonel Albert D. Shaw OF Wa ertown,
New York was unanimously elected.
Judge Leo Rassieur Of St. Louis, de-
ined to be candidate.
Early in the campaign there were
three candidates. w. G. johnson Of
Cincinnati, who is acting commander in
chief, was the first mentioned and the
names of Colonel Shaw and Judge Ras-
sieur later became prominent.
Mr. Johneo g boom ended yesteF day
with his election to the office for the un-
expired term of the late commander,
General Sexton. This rendered him in
eligible TO the candidacy for another
term, and with the election of Colonel
Shaw he becomes past commander in
chief.
Aside from the selection OF a comman-
der-in- Chief the pension question re-
ceived the major portion of attention.
Resolutions we're adopted that rule 225,
now in practice was hardship in that
it required proof Of identity and injury
which many OF the old soldiers could not
furnish, and asking the president to re-
establish rule 1854 which is not so string
ent in its requirements

FITS ADMIRERS

Gaze Earnestly at the Fight Pictures to

When a man pins his faith to an idol
he finds it hard 10 accept a substitute.
1t is so with religion. politics or sport.
Opposing arguments only tend to in
crease the partisanship. There are ad-
mirers yet of Corbett who think he
could defeat Fitzsimmons if they were
TO meet in the roped arena. And
'.Lanky Bobs" legion of adherents
find it hard to accept Jeffries as SUI
perior TO their idol.
Wheeling probably had as many
original Fitzsimmons men as most
towns, and TO their credit they admitted
their surprise at the champions de-
feat, instead of trying TO pose next day
as Il told you SOS" and previous JET
fries adherents. 1t is interesting TO
watch this contingent viewing the elm
ematograph pictures of the recent
championship battle, for their counte-
nances betray feverish anxiety as the
fight progresses. And Patsy Gavin re-
marked the other day. that after see
ing the pictures, he was still surprised
that Fitz didn't win, for he hammered
Jeffries scores of times. The pictures
will show at return engagement at
Mozart Park next Sunday; in the af-
ternoon at 2:15 and in the evening at

Budget Of News Items From the Bel
mont County Metropolis.

Thursday evening while conducting
services at st. Johns Church. Rev.
Father Wehrl9 was taken suddenly i'll
and had to be conveyed to his apart
ments. The patient remained in a
scmi-conscious condition until 2 o'clock
Friday morning when he rallied and
since which time he has been steadily
growing better. Father Wehrle. it is
understood, has experienced such at
tacks upon one or two previous occa-
sions, but they have usually been less
persistent than was this one. His ardu-
Gus duties of late to which he has given
constant attention are doubtless re-
sponsble for the unsatisfactory condi-
ton of his health.

Robert P. Scott, the genial Harrison
county candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congress in his recent
letter to the public gives his reasons for
not being a Democrat, but other reasons
are given in a correspondence from
Cadiz. 1t appears Mr.. Scott is not in
favor of the income tax plank in the
Democratic platform. A Cadiz gentle
man says: You read a great deal about
Scott being a millionaire. In Cadiz,
where he is liked and respected, they
laugh at such estimate OF his wealth
and add that the court house records
show him paying taxes on only $4,000.
However, it is rather pleasant in this
commercial age to be called million
aire, and Scott has not taken time to
deny the impeachment.

President Mckinley rightly says, "Man
plans, bnt God Almighty executes" The gov
eminent at Washington planned the subiuga-
ton of the islands, and God Almighty has
spoken in in favor of Filipino freedom, for sue
cess has not followed our armies as it did in Gu
ba.
We are told that our nation "never raised its
arm against humanity; never struck blow
against liberty, never struck blow except for
civilization and marking"
Our expansion friends like to think of the
glorious Declaration of independence and our
triumph at Yorktown, but they point the finger
OF scorn at the Filipino Declaration of indie
pendence. They point with pride to the record
of our government toward the Cubans, but they
sPurn the idea that the United States is acting
toward the Philippines as Spain did toward Gu
pa. when Spain Expresses, she is tyrant,
but when the Uaited States Expresses, she is a
philanthropjst. Truly, we live in new and
exceptional age.'
"But we "never struck a blow against hu.
manity !" We have in mind the bred Scott
decision Our authorities sanctioned it, That
was not in the interest of humanity. When at
torney-General Griggs gave his diabolical de-
cislon on the army canteen system the author
tiles approved. This decision had no tendency
to uphft humanity. When President McKin.
ley declared war upon the Filipnos, third
blow was struck against humanity
We rejoice that the authors of the Declara-
ton OF independence issued their immortal doc
ument, but are shocked when we find that our
President has been guilty of treating the Fill
pinos III the same manner as George III treated
the colonsts. He is to be blamed: I. "For
quaitering large bodies of armed troops among
us" them 2. "For imposing taxes upon
u.s. them without our Their CONSENT" :.
"He has abdicated government here There
by declaring us Them out of his protection,
and waging war against us" them
And now we are called upon to Sustain the
flag" We love the old flag. We rejoice in
its past-that it waved in triumph at Yorktown,
at Apponlattox and at Santiago, but let us keep
the flag unspotted. Let us keep it free from
the stains of imperialism. Let us see that it
never waves over a race which was forced to
acknowledge its supremacy, for then it would
not be an emblem of freedom, but an emblem
of power. Yes; keep the flag pure.
