COSTLY VICTORIES.

1t can be no longer denied
that the British have made serious
technical mistakes in the prosecution
Of their war in South Africa. In
stead of being in a position to make
an active campaign against the Beers
in their own country, they are held
back by the necessity of relieving
Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimberley,
towns in their own territory Thus far
the relief columns have been unsuc-
cessful. According to the latest fig
ures, $500 English have fallen before
setting foot across the border. The
Beers and not the British are the ag-
gressors. This does not augur we'll
for a speedy termination of the hostili-
ties. What will be the result when the
reinforced Britons invade the South At
rican republic, and the burghers, rifle
in hand. are forced to defend their
homes?
Nothing else can result but the blood
lest affair seen since the American civil
war. The bloodshed in Cuba will be
as nothing to the British and Boer
losses in South Africa. Small wonder
that the censor is busy! The burghers
are so elated with their success that
it is said they are even shouting, ION
to Cape TOWN." much as the French
shouted. "A BerlinH in the early days
of the Franco-P russian war.
The early British victories of the war
are now all too evidently victories re-
sembling those won over the American
colonists in 1876, victories which en-
couraged the enemies of King George
quite as much as if success had rested
with the colonists. Ambassador Choate
in one of his recent speeches, said that
he had yet to meet an English family
who had not suffered the loss of some
relative or acquaintance in the fight
ing. And all this is just the begin
ming. What can be expected when the
boundary line is crossed9 1t is to be
regretted that the chimera of suzer-
ainty prevents other nations from in
terfering and arbitrating the dispute
which is otherwise bound to cost so
many lives.

HARMONY IN WASHINGTON.

The three branches Of the national
government are once more in active
operation, and working in entire politf-
cal harmony. The president is repub-
Hcan. congress is republican, and both
houses. and the supreme court has six
republicans to three democrats. No
party in years has had such complete
power, such undivided responsibility. 1t
is more exacting than at any previous
time in a quarter of century. Upon
the party will rest the three-fold re-
sponsibility of the enactment, the ex-
ecution and the Interpretation of new
laws. David B. Henderson has been
selected as speaker, and the republi-
cans are well prepared for business
from the beginning. His election has
been settled so long that he has had
time to determine the policy, to pick
out the men he wants to help carry it
through and place himself in the best
position possible. 1t is pleasing to
realize that congress has started in
with so much already accomplished.
and so well prepared for the serious
business that is to come upon 1t.

OUR CITY GOVERNMENT.

One week from today, Worcester will
select a city government for 1900. There
is the same opportunity and undoubt-
eddy the same disposition to make the
city administration republican as has
been the case for many years, and it
certainly will be done If the voters who
believe in republican principles come
out and vote for the party candidates.
1t is a republican year everywhere,
and there should be no question of
what Worcester will do in that respect
1t is good time now to elect a repub-
lican city government in both branches.
Nothing that Mayor Dodge has done
or will do, will compass his defeat, but
even then, there should be no lack of
interest in the campaign. Stay-a at
homes never yet elected mayor. There
is but one thing for republicans to do,
and that is to hustle out the voters
and run up a good, big majority as an
Endorsement Of Mayor Dodge's admins
tration during the last two years When
man has been mayor in every sense
faithful in the performance of his duty
under the laws, maintaining a sound
and satisfactory financial policy. it is
an assurance that the business of the
city will be conducted in the best pos
sible manner. He has been faithful
and conscientious. and has handled
municipal affairs with tact, good judg-

ment and discrimination, and deserves
well of the people.
The choice of an aldermanic board is
OF momentous Importance, and one
that calls for the best judgment of the
voter, 1t should not be a matter of
personal acquaintance with the candi-
dates; it should be the fitness of the
men for the positions. Twenty-eight
members of various political parties
have been duly nominated in the va
rious municipal caucuses. and each
claims to have a certain following.
OF this array of candidates, three
gentlemen have been members of the
board during the past two years, and
have proved by their record that they
are entitled to a reelection. John r.
Back is a business man, whose judg-
ment on all matters affecting the citys
interest Is unquestioned, and whose in
tegrity is above reproach. Charles A.
Vaughan has given his best judgment
and consideration to all matters re-
quiring aldermanic attention, and has
been found faithful to every trust i'm
posed upon him. Sanford C. Kendall
has proved his worth on many occa-
sions, which have required cool judg-
ment and quick action.
The republican nominees are men
who have shown by their interest in
public affairs that they are capable of
administrative tho nit,y eov-arppoapt Of
1900 wisely and well for the best inter-
ests of all her citizens. w. Levi Bous-
quot represents large French ele-
ment Of our population, and no filter
representative could be chosen. H.
Augustus Harrington has never before
been before the people of this city for
municipal office, but he is well quail
fed to serve in the aldermanic board.
Louis ]. Kendall has been in the COM
mon council for some years, and is one
Of the most conservative and hard
working members of that body. No
honor in city government has ever
been more honestly earned than will be
Mr.. Kendalrs elevation to the board
Of aldermen.
These six gentlemen representing the
republican nominations for the board
of aldermen are worthy the serious
and favorable consideration of all the
voters of the city, irrespective of party,
for they represent not only men who
have shown by their work in the in
terest of good government that they
are safe and to be relied upon, but
because they are prominent business
men, men of affairs who have the well
fare of the city at heart. They can be
depended upon to do their utmost to
give to the city in the coming year an
absolutely clean municipal govern
I?ent. They have been tried and were
not found wanting. There should be
no doubt of their election to the board
of aldermen.

THE GRIDLEY FAMILY.

The Grtdleys are creating a good

binary prudence, would enable him to
provide for his family in the case OF
sudden death, whether by battle OF
disease. Next, where there is need for
