THE AFRIKANDERS

Nobody need be surprised, nobody will be surprised, by the announce
 ment that the Orange Free State has in effect cast in it's lot with the South African republic. No man of Dutch
 descent in South Africa, no Afrikander,
 has any reason to love the British
 Every such man thinks he has good reason to hate them. But the avowed
 purpose of the chief organs of British cpinicia is to assert and make good
 ''the supremacy of the imperial gov
 ernment in South Africa" The threat concerns the Dutch of the Orange Free State as well as the Dutch of the Transvaal. If the question is not 50 acute with them, it is because it has been in the Transvaal, and not in the Orange Free State that gold has been discovered. and it is to the Transvaal, and not to the Orange Free State, tha has thereby been attracted that influx of the just, scrupulOuS, and ccinsfderate ''Outlanders, carefully respectful Of the rights of others, whom any discov- cry of gold attracts to the scene. But the purpose of establishing the SuZe- rainty Of Great Britain, whatever that may mean or the even vaguer para mounting Of Great Britain, extends to the enc state as well as tci the other The map of South Africa will not be red as long as an Orange spot remains upon it.-New York Times

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

The nineteenth century closes with the year 1900 Immediately after mid night, therefore, of December 31, 1900, is when the twentieth century begins i; in other words, it begins with the sec ond of the first hour of the first day Of January, 1901.
 The twentieth century will open on a Tuesday and close on Sunday. It will have the greatest number of leap years possible for a century-twenty- four. The year 1904 will be the first one, then every fourth year after that to and including the year 20OO. Feb ruary will three times have five Sun days, 1920, 194S and 1976
 The twentieth century will contain 36,525 days, which lacks but one day of being exactly 5,218 weeks. The middle cay cf the century will be Jan uary l. 1851 Scientific American.

ONLY TWO SIDES.

Senator Foraker declared in his speech at Hamilton on Friday evening that as long as there is fighting in the Philippines there can be only two sides to it, and one is the American side
 Governor Roosevelt expressed the same idea the next night at Akron, when he said that it is absolutely inn possible to save our honor except through victory. and it is equally i'm possible to win peace, restore order in the islands, or to prepare the way for self government there, save through victory. "No man. contin- ued Governor Roosevelt, "can hesitate in this struggle and ever afterward call himselff true American and a true patriot
 It is the same idea which has been eloquently expressed in the recent speeches of the president and which has shaped the presidents policy throughout
 That is one side, and it is the Amer ican side. 1t is likewise the republican side. Men who stand with Senator Hoar of Massachusetts and Senator Mason of Illinois may call themselves Americans and republicans, but for all the purposes Of the present classiffca- tion they belong on the other side that is to say, with Aguinaldo and with Bryan.-NeW York Sun.

OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

| Now that the children Of the United
 States are in school again, their good
 friends the Medical Record once more
 begs the grown ljs5 to make sure that
 the school conditions are what they should be. It suggests that where parents, teachers and committeeman
 are careless. the family physicians and
 the public health officers have a duty
 to perform in the premises-a duty. to the boys and girls themselves, and a duty to the community. Proficiency in the school textbooks is matter Of secondary importance. The things of first importance are the children's , moral welfare and the children's phy- sical welfare The school should build character; it should also dismiss the
 boys and girls in ruddy health-it for
 the tasks of life. If, instead of this, it
 breaks their health down by unduly
 long hours, wrong hours, overwork,
 bad air, etc, it ceases to be public
 blessing and becomes a public curse.
 The medical contemporary quotes with approval Dr. Scheidt's saying that
 the foundations of healthy and useful life are laid between the seventh and fifteenth years, never later; also his advice that the children be not only permitted but required to take open air exercise every afternoon under in teliigent direction and up to the limit Of normal tiredness. On it's own ac- ccunt it says:
 No doubt enc of the chief causes of nerve fatigue in school children is lack of sufficient fresh air and especially of bodily exercise in it Where overcrowding prevails in the home life and unhygienic surroundings pre- dispose to conditions of anaemia, the school should all the more endeavor to counteract the evil influences by sup plying. SC far as possible. the elements of health which are lacking. Time to breathe little outside air, time to eat the midday meal slowly and to digest it partially before returning to the desk, should be provided. Of all bar barous practices, that of allowing twenty minutes for a cold lunch, and then detainfng young child after hours in a vitiated atmosphere be- | cause indigestion and beginning dys- pepsia have produced irritability and | is the most fruitful source of nervous weariness which sooner or later leads to physical wreck.
 In a talk on this subject of school | hygiene to the Pennsylvania sanitary last year, Dr. Scheidt dropped another suggestion which may be worth considering. "The chief fac tor in every school board" he said, should be the weH-trained physician.

A FORLORN HOPE.

It has pleased several self-constituted prophets, priests and kings to declare that the next campaign is to be pre- scented in the form of am attack upon the American expansion policy, which MT Mckinley has been clever enough to borrow from the gospel of pure de- mocracy, as taught and practiced by Jefferson, Jackson and Polk. Why they should select such an impregna- ble breastwcrk as the point Of assault, in case the party can be brought to their way of thinking. we are at loss to understand, unless their motive is one of political suicide. They cannot and do not expect a majority of the American people or a majority of the men who voted for Bryan in 1896, to go with them on any such ''forlorn hope e''-Washington Times.

Phoenix is to have a carnival That much may be considered settled right now. The next matter to be discussed is, what kind of a carnival? Is it to be little three-day affair that costs g few dollars and takes half of the fas- tival season to get people here and get them settled, and the other half to start them home, or is it to be great big bread gauged affair to last a week and make Phoenix famous from Dan to Beersheba?" In the lattsr instance little more money will be required, but the amount will not approach the double expense of a short carnival. Like every other enterprise, the more money that is spent, the more will be received fer it in proportion. Phoenix has the resources for a weeks enter tainment. She has the money neces- sary if the citizens of the place desire to spend it. The committee appointed by Carnival Commissioner Clark spent a good part of yesterday among the business men On the subject. The sub- scription list has not yet been circu- lated and the committee is trying to decide upon what they wan; and then they propose to go after it. They want what the people want and Ee question now at issue is three days or six days" Every business man in town should hunt up the committee and tell them what they think about it Thus far nearly all the business men seem to signify their willingness to give more than twice as much for a six tay car nival as they will fer a three-day fes- tiYal.

There is a probability that the hotel lately completed at Tempe will soon be leased and opened for business. This is good news. The Republican sug- gests that a big delegation from Phoenix attend the opening when it occurs and lend a hand in giving the new enterprise a good "send-off. There is no town in the southwest Of the size of Tempe that can boast of so creditable a hotel as this enc. It speaks well for the hustling qualities Of the inhabitants of the little city by the butte.

THE FAULT FINDER E
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I have been fer some months en- gagged in kicking for the public about things in which I have had no other interest than that Of a member of the community I have carefully con- cealed my own private dissatisfaction with regard to a variety of matters un- til now, when I shall speak of peddlers, agents, conductors, knife grinders, etc From the earliest times the pub lie has been in a state of insurrection against peddlers and all members of their class. The newspapers for years have joked about this sentiment as they have done about most things which nature never intended to make. I never quite understood this popular antipathy to peddlers until now.
 My life is so ordered that I am awake long after other people are asleep, and I am asleep long after other people have entered upon the duties of the day. Peddlers have cer- ccnstrue to be duties, and one of them is to hammer on front doors and oth- erwise announce their presence. They began the assault upon my house about a week ago and since then I have been regularly awakened. I might sleep through the psddler's fight with my dogs on his way to the house. l might sleep through his stamping on the porcih and his belab0ring of the door, but when he has once gained ad- mittance and opened negotiations I am awake for that day. The average peddler or agent has an untrained, high-keyed and rasping voice such as Gabriel will employ in quickening the dead. This is the private phase of my complaint.
 Now for the public side of it. A continuance of these assaults by ped dlers upon my rest is going to be crowned by a homicide some of these days I am now sleeping with a re- volver on the floor within reach of my i hand and the next appearance of a peddler or agent. male or female- will be only preliminary to my trial for or for shooting with intent to commit murder Murder trials are ex- pensive and the costs in this case | which I am getting ready fer docket | ing will have to be borne by the 1 county, so that my complaint becomes 3 matter of public interest. A general statute should be enacted providing 1 that license of s10OOOO a quarter should be imposed upon all persons for selling any article at any other place than a regularly established shcp store or stand. Any neglect to comply with the terms of this statute shouII Ee deemed a provocation to Dloodshed, and the violator should be committed to jail without bail.
