If Mr.. Chamberlain were averse to war
between the British and the Beers we
might expect some way to be found. even
now, in spite of President Kruger's re-
fusal TO grant British demands in full, to
avert it. But there is abundant reason
for a very strong suspicion that plausi.
bic pretext for invading the Transvaal
Is not unweleome to the colonial
secretary, and that having found one, he
is not likely to struggle very hard TO get
rid of 1t. If Chamberlain can have his
way it is safe to say that a British
army will soon be on the march
TO the Transvsal unless the Beers
back completely down, which Is not
likely. But Lord Salisbury has in the
past on several occasions shown DISPOSE
tiou to curb Mr. Chamberlain's martial
spirit and he may do it in this case, es.

South Africa does not bid fair to be very

RLACKBURN's vow.
lFrom the ". Y. Sun. !

y
The appearance OF Hon. j. 9. S. Black.
burn as surety for the moral and political
worthiness Of Goebel Is not the least ex-
traordinary circumstance of the Ken
lucky campaign.
Mr.. Blackburn Is candidate for United
States senator, and his present interest
lies exactly parallel with Goebel's. Yet,
notwithstanding this. 1t Is difficult TO
imagine MIR. Blackburn taking the stump
in behalf of a man whom he denounced
as murderer not five years ago, and
Threatened with o vengeance which IL
should be his life's mission to insure.
sunday, Apr. IA, 1896, Hon. j. g. S.
Blackburn stood beside the coffin of Col
J. l.. Sanford at Covington, and regis
tered this remarkable vow:-
John Sanford was to me like brother
loved him. / nope God may spare me
and shall make 1t my life's mission to
avenge aim by buying his slayer in the
depths of merited public exeoration.
The slayer OF Col. Sanford was William
Goebei of Coyington.' Five years ago
the lawyer and the veteran confederate
soldier had q bitter quarrel. One day
they met on the street and Sanford was
shot dead. According to the evidence ct
Goebel's trial Sanford had been the first
20 draw his pistol, and the slayer was
aqultted on the ground of self-defence.
Inc friends Of Gel. Sanford have always
held, however, that the provoeation came
from Goebel and that the ood-guiltiness
Ia on Goebeps head. Among those
friends was Blackburn when he prayed
God to grant him life long enough to
avenge Sanford by burying Goebel in
"the deaths of public exeoration."
How Is Blackburn performing his self
appointed task OF vengeancef On Mon
day Of this week, in d speeoh at Wickliff
In Ballard County he was reported as say
ing :-Goebel stands before the democracy
OF the state worthy leader OF the cause.

CURRENT COMMENT.
WHY OUR STEAKS COME HIGH.
est. Paul Pioneer-Press.,

Asmember of one of the largest packing
and refrigerating houses In the oountry
is reported as explaining that the recent
rise In the price of meats Is the result of
a determined effort on the part of Ameri-
can dealers to supplant Australian beef
in the British markets with American
beeT. 10 accomplish this, American beef
is being sold at a loss, and at these los.
Ing figures Immense quantities are being
exported. This arti1oially created de.
mand is, we may well assume, ably rein
forced by Willingness on the part OF the
members of the 'beef combine" 60 recon-
pense themselves for their ''patriotic''
losses In England by taxing their Anieri.
can customers 60 the full amount "the
traffic will tear
Without undertaking to vouch for the
truth Of this explanation, 1t Is, however,
an undoubted fact that other causes be-
side the above have stimulated the ad-
vance. There Is no "beef. eater in the
world--not even In beef-eatlng Britain
who, when he can afford it, consumes so
much beef as the American workingman,
just now he feels that he can afford Ii.
he buys the best cuts and orders them
cut large. 1t is a common thing for the
prudent wits of business man to see tie
butchers supplies delivered at her own
door outclassed by those destined for the
table of some worklngman In the neigh
borhood. The sumptucusnsss oiA the peo-
pies tables now, as compared with their
fu' n'shtngs three years ago, has had its
share in booming the prices Of meats.
Of course the farmer who has been wiae
enough to combine little stock raising
with the raising of cereals, as we'll as he
who has given himself exclusively to the
former branch of industry, puts on an
additional smile when he hears how
meats have 'rtz.'' For the big "com-
bine" doesn't get all the profits. Its
managers have to divide with the farmer.
Is Is not only the prices of meats which
have advanced. nut the prices paid the
farmer for his live stock. And this is
the usual reason given for the rise In the
prices of meats. But the rise in tho
latter Is apparently out of all proportion
to the increased prices OF live stock. And
II 1t is true that American beef is sold in
London cheaper than in St. Paul, OF
which we have strong doubts, that is an
operation which doesn't benefit the far
mer. and will justify the inclusion of the
beef combine" in the trusts which are
destined to feel the power of the popular
wrath.
