The Boer Constituti Hon.

The constitution Of the republic Of
the Transvaal Is q lengthy and some
what ambiguous document, the provi-
sions Of which are just now Of especial
public interest. It declares that equal
ity between the white and colored races
ehall not be tolerated either in state or
church. 1t forbids the existence within
it's borders Of any churches whatever
save such as teach the doctrines Of the
Heidelberg catechism, which is the doc
trine of the Dutch Reformed church
This prohibition has to some extent been
ignored, SO that few churches other
than those Of the Dutch faith are per-
mitted to exist in the Transvaal. It is,
however, unlawful for Dutch minis
ter to baptize a negro, to administer to
him the Lords supper or to perform the
marriage ceremony for negro couples,
the Beers holding the rather unique be-
lief that.negroes have no souls. t'&
The supreme authority of the repub-
lie is vested in a legislative body, elect
ed by the people, though not, in rep
resentative manner, and the supremacy
is merely nominal, it's power being sub
ordinated to the executive. Only mem
bers Of the Dutch Reformed church are
eligible to positions in the legislature.
All laws considered by the Legislative
branch of the government must first
have been suggested by the president Of
the republic, who is chosen by popular
vote, and must be a member Of the
Dutch Reformed church. The members
Of his cabinet must also be members o.
that church. The courts are subordinate
to the executive and are not permitted
to interpret or pass upon the constitu
tionality of laws. The executive is vest
4 ed with more autocratic power than i
vested in the crown in most Unite,
monarchies, while the religious ant
sectarian qualifications Of administra
tive and legislative officials make til
Transvaal one of the most ecclesiastic
ally illiberal states in the civilize
world. While the narrowness and big
otry of the Beers may not be regarde
as sufficient justification for the ex
istence of war in South Africa, the
have unquestionably strongly contrib
uted to the existing hostilities.

PFractic.l Re,ult q tho Yacht Races.

Practical Result Of tho Yacht Races.
The international yacht races OF
Sandy Hook have demonstrated one
thing which is even more important
than the possession Of the Americas
cup, and that is the practicability Of
the Marconi system Of wireless teleg-
raphy. The experiments were conduct
ed under the direction Of the inventor
himself, Signor Marconi coming to this
country expressly for the purpose Of
testing his system in reporting the
yacht races. The results must have
realized his highest expectations, as
they conclusively proved that the sys-
tenn was practical at least for short dis
tances. t$
With unerring accuracy the Marconi
instruments licked off in the Morse
alphabet every change in the move
ments and sails of the contesting
yachts. Every breeze was described and
every favoring wind that filed sail of
the Columbia or the Shamrock was
flashed in wireless words to the shore
from Signor Marconi's boat and thence
to New York city.
Wherever the Marconi bulletins were
posted in New York the public was less
than rs seconds behind the yachts, and
in some instances less than 80 seconds.
In no public event Of this character in
this country has the public been enabled
to follow so closely the happenings and
movements of the participants
The system is by no means as intri-
cate and mysterious as people have been
won't to regard it. There is no signal.
ing in wireless telegraphy, no flashing
Of lights from point to point, as many
have supposed. It is the simplest kline
of Morse telegraphy, except that the
message is carried on vertical wire
to such point in midair as is neces
sary to deliver message which will
produce without fail sound waves tina
will not meet with interruption be
tween points Of sending and receiving
These sound waves when transmitted
to the upper ether are taken up by
receiver that is tuned to the same poin
of synchronism as the machine whic]
sends the message and are recorded b.
Morse ticker:
The demonstration of the utility o
wireless telegraphy in reporting tn
yacht races is distinct triumph 70
science, the results of which are likel
to be farreaching in the industrial an
commercial world. So successful wer
the experiments that government off
cials who witnessed them are alread
advocating the utilization of the syste1
in the operations Of the United State

The wonderful progress made in the
facilities for the dissemination of infor-
nation during the past half century is
amply illustrated by the international
yacht races. When the yacht America.
in August. 1851, beat II British yachts
off the Isle Of Wight, the news was 10
days in reaching the United States. No
New York or Boston paper had from
it's own correspondent over 500 words
describing the contest Most of the
American newspapers covered the race
with brief clippings from the London
journals. Instead of taking 10 days, it
now takes only about 10 minutes to
spread the news of a yacht race or any
other important event all over this
country and Europe Within five
hours after the race is sailed or the
referee has declared that there is no
race papers thousands of miles distant
have editions on the streets giving col
umn after column of special dispatches
about it.

makes this liberal offer: 'Any man or

lily and are not able to take county
paper, we will send them The Chief one

growing up without paper in it is in

for ignorant children growing up in a
country where there are free schools
and papers as cheap as they are in Kan

are a number of families in the county
that do not take paper.

The National League season.

i y
The National League Season.
The National league baseball season
just closed, when all things connected
herewith have been duly considered, !
has been remarkably successful. All Of
the clubs, if the statements Of the in
terested officials be accepted, have made
q fair margin of profit, with the excep-
tion Of the Cleveland club, and even
that outcast, which from lack of home
patronage was compelled to transfer
many Of it's games to other cities, came
out even financially, and this in spite
of the fact that the game was conduct
ed, as a rule. on decidedly unsports-
manlike lines. ill.,
At the beginning Of the season the
public was assured, with a loud -four
ish of trumpets that revised methods
were to obtain and that rowdyism and
disorder were to be eliminated from the
game, and the magnates all signed an
agreement pledging themselves to en-
force the rules and to do all they could
70 bring about this much to be desired
condition of baseball affairs.
How we'll this agreement was not
kept the stories of the game from day
to day conclusively proved. From the
very start of the season the rowdy ele-
ment seemed to dominate the green
diamond, and the records of the games
were punctuated with reports of abuse
of umpires, fines and ejectments Of un-
ruly or profane players from the field
and forfeitures of games for open and
persistent defiance of the rulings of the
much abused umpire. This seeming
contempt for the desires of the sport
loving patrons of the game continued
till the end of the season, the very last
game between the now champion Brook
lyns and the Baltimores being marked
by disg1aceful disregard for the ruling
of the umpire by the players and the
forfeiture of the game after only one
and half innings had been played
And yet the game on the whole has
prospered
Another cause for dissatisfaction with
the manner in which baseball is now
managed is syndicate ownership of
clubs Where one man or one set of
men own or control or are interested
financially in clubs in two or more
cities there will always be the POSSIBLE
. lily, and hence suspicion, of jockeying
, or hippodroming. The owners Of the
clubs are men of integrity and unques-
, tionable honesty, and it is beyond be-
lief that any one of them would resort
to questionable methods to enrich him
, self. But in syndicate ownership of
q clubs the opportunity for suspicion is
present. and it should be at once and
forever removed.
If with the unsatisfactory conditions
: which prevailed during the last season
' the game can flourish and pay large
j.. financial dividends, why would it not
be wise for the magnates to consider
what would be the result if they re-
: formed the abuses which have Disguised
/ many of the cranks even, and showed
:, an honest desire to cater to the wishe:

A proposition is now being enter
tanned for peopling Alaska with Finns
who are seeking asylum in America
from the expressions of the Russian
car in their native land. The project
appears to be entirely practical. Fin
land and Alaska are much alike in eli
mate and afford practically the same
opportunities for agricultural pursuits.
The growth of mining population in
Alaska, which the great mineral re-
sources of the territory will continue to
stimulate, will afford good markets for
their products. The Firms are an indus
trious and upright people and would
make good American citizens. They
would be valuable acquisition in the
development of Alaska.

The value of iron and steel and their
manufactures exported during August
last was SO, 81, 900, against So, 1884,
900 for the corresponding month of
1898. The exports of steel rails in
creased 7, 100 tons in the face Of an in
creased price Of 81 ton. Up to the
end of August, therefore, the great ad-
vance in the price Of iron and steel had
exerted no depressing influence on ex-
ports. The value Of iron and steel and
their manufactures sent abroad during
last August exceeded by $500, 900 the
value of all imports Of those commodi-
ties during the first eight months of
this year: Steel rails cannot be pur-
chased now for 1928 ton, which is all
that was paid on the average for those
sent abroad month before last. The
value of exports Of iron and steel and
their manufactures for the first eight
months Of this year is $68, 900, 600,
while for the corresponding months Of
last year it was $50, 900, 900.
