Since the recent PRONUNCIATION of the
Russian imperial ukase forbidding
further convict transportation to
Siberia, the Penal Department has
been casting about for a new field for
criminal colonization in order to pre-
vent the threatened congestion in the
great central prisons and penitentiaries
of European Russia, without at the
same time overcrowding the Far
Eastern penal island of Saghalien.
1t has now been practically decided,
subject, of course, to the imperial
exequatur, to convert the remote dis
trict of Okhotsk- Kamtschatka into q
new penal province. The Ministerial
Department points out that this region
possesses no indigenous population
worth speaking of to be corrupted by
the exiled offenders and has the ad-
vantage Of being SO distant ard SC
rigidly isolated from European Russia
that the escape Of conyiots, so common
from the Siberian settlements, will be
well-nieh impossible.
Okhotsk- Kamtschatka is further
recommended as penal colony by
the fact that rich gold deposits have
lately been discovered there, and thest
will be worked entirely by oonvic
labor, thus enabling the government
to reduce considerably the annua
Excheauer credit of fourteen million
rubles for penal expenses.

: The declaration of the Massachusetts
Republican Stase convention upon the
Philippine war question is not an en-
dorsement Of McKinley's policy, by
any means. It reads as follows:
Under the treaty with Spain. the
law of nations put upon tho United
States tho responsibility for the peace
and security of life and property, the
well being and the future government
of the Philippine Islands. Accepting
this responsibility, it is our profound
trust that tho present hostilities can
be brought to an early termination,
and that Congress, guided by a wise
and patriotic administration, will es-
tablish and maintain in those islands,
hitherto the home Of tyranny, a gov
ernment as free, as liberal, and as pro-
gressiye as our own, in accordance with
the sacred principles of liberty and
self-government upon which the Ameri
can republic so securely rests.
This declaration, it will be noted,
refers the question 10 Congress, with
the expressed hope of good government
for the people of the islands. 1t docs
not uphold the Presidents plan of con.
tiuuing the bloody work of shooting
niggers," without "faltering' or ''use
less parley.'' AS fact, the Massa
chusetts Republicans have practically
rebuked the President.

The unexpected turn Of events in the
Transvaal Republic, when the Boer
ultimatum was sent to Great Britain,
Tuesday, makes it almost certain that
war will prevail. The Boer ultimatum
made the following formal demands
First-That all points OF mutual
difference be regulated by friendly re-
course to arbitration or by whatever
amicahle way may be agreed upon by
this government and Her Majesty's
government.
Second That all troops on the
borders of this republic shall be in
stantly Withdrawn.
Third-That all achievements OF
troops which haye arrived in South
Africa since June LIST, 1899, shall be
removed from South Africa within a
reasonable time, to be agreed upon
with this government and with the
mutual assurance and guarantee on tho
part of this government that no attack
upon or hostilities against any portion
of the possessions of tho British
government shall be made by this
republic during the further negu-
tiations, within period of time to be
subsequently agreed upon between the
governments; and this government
will, on compliance Herewith, be
prepared to withdraw the armed
burghers of this republic from the
borders.
Fourth-That Her Maiesty's troops
which are now on tho high seas shall
not be landed in any part of South
Africa.
This government presses for an i'm
mediate and affirmative answer to those
four questions, and earnestly request:
Her majesty's government to return ar
answer before or upon Wednesday,
October 18th, 1892, not later than
O'Clock, p. M.
1t desires further to add that in thu
unexpected event of an answer mo-
satisfactory being received by it within
the interval it will with great regre
be compelled to regard the action o
Her Maiesty's government as q forma
declaration of war, and will not holt
itself responsible for tho consequence
thereof, and that in the event of an.
further movement of troops occurring
within the above mentioned time in
nearer direction to our borders thi
government will be compelled to regart
that also as formal declaration o
war.
The tone of this document is per
emptory and warlike. 1t PRACTICAL
forces upon Great Britain the alterna
tive of fighting or backing down. 1
addition. the public sentiment i
England seems to be strongly in fave
Of war, SO that the administrator
would find it hard to back down eve
if it wanted to.
The situation is most lamentablt
That the war, if it finally prevails
will be bloody and destructive cannc
be doubted. The Beers are stubbor
I fighters and are in good shape for wa
England's prowess is we'll known, or
when hostilities are started the loss
life will be sickening.
' What pity it is that these tv
!. nations cannot settle their ditferenc
= by the peaceful and bloodess metho'
of arbitration.

The Milford News and Advertiser, a
Regular Republican paper.shas heard
story about movement by the Adj
dicks forces to capture the next cleo
tion. 1T is to the effect. says the
Milford paper, "that Mr.. Addicks is
to stake all in the next campaign
which is not surprising-but this con-
templates Democratic support. While
the Addicks papers have been making
an appeal for Republican harmony,
plans have been formulated to secure
the nomination of Addioks Democrats
In Democratic districts. When these
shall be elected, they will of course
cast few votes for some impossible
candidate Of their own party and finally
they are to turn in and help elect
Addicks. That there is danger in this
may be inferred from the fact that it
was attempted in the last legislative
session; it undoubtedly had the sane
tion Of one Democratic leader, and
possibly of others. 1t has been we'll
known for some time that certain
Democrats have been, longing for a
dip into the 'flesh-pots, and they will
grasp any excuse to allow them to do
so. To ask Republicans to harmonize
while such schemes are in contempla-
tion is an insult. We trust that decent
Democrats will know how to deal with
the situation, for this is something
more than party question. !"
Ordinarily this story would be re-
garded as mere campaign gossip, but
existing circumstances impart to it m
air of plausibility. 1t will be remem-
bered that manipulation of Democrats
has already been material part of the
Addicks programme, and at the last
session of the Legislature it involved
three Democratic votes for Addicks fol
United States Senator-those of State
Senator Farlow and Representative.
Clark and King. How many orhei
Democratic members were included il
the bargain it is impossible to state
but it is known that the Addick
managers expected enough to elect Mr.
Addicks Senator, and were very muol
disappointed that they did not ma
terialize
The story, therefore, that an Addick
Democratic deal is contemplated is no
at all surprising. On the contrary, i
is probably true. That there are vena
Democrats in the State who would sci
themselves for a very small considera
tion is, unfortunately, fact, and wit
such men in the market, and Sena
torshir at stake, they will no doubt b
, purchased. 1t win be we'll, therefore
for the Democratic managers 70 be o
their guard during the coming can
paigh, and see that none of these pui
ohaseable Democrats are placed j
positions where their treachery woul
work serious injury to the interest
of the party.

An Anr,-Expansiop League.

An anti-expansion league has been
organized in New York City, under the
name of "The American League. Its
purpose is to oppose the expansion and
Imperial" spirit in the United States.
The first meeting of the organization
was held early in September, and a
platform of principles was adopted.
The platform reads:
Believing that the time has come for
an expression of opinion upon the policy
of expansion, we substantially concur
in the following statement:
IL We reaffirm the doctrines of the
Declaration of Independence.
(2.l We believe that all others, as
well as we, are Of right entitled to life.
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
and to free opportunities of earning a
living.
49, We adhere to the American
idea that government derives it's just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
We are therefore opposed to the.us,
of force in the extension Of American
institutions.
This has been subscribed to by Car
Schurz, Edward NJ. Shepard, W
Bourke Cochran, the Rev. q. II. Park

In a New York City police court, a
few days ago, Henry P. Cheever, aged
u years, voluntarily requested the
magistrate to commit him to the
workhouse. He said he was poor.
Some money that he had accumulated
he had lost through the rascality of
friend to whom he had loaned it, and,
although he is well and hearty, all his
attempts to obtain work were repulsed
on the ground that he was too old. He
would not beg, nor would he commit
suicide; and the friends of his younger
days were dead. For these reasons,
he asked to be sent to the workhouse,
that he might have food and shelter in
return for the labor that would be
exacted of him.
1t was no ordinary man that made
this request. For years he was known
to the reading public as Isl Slocum, F."
the author of many sketches Of genuine
humor; as Henry Pomeroy,h the
author of sea tales OF interest and
merit, and as Capt. Craig Sommers,
U. S. A." writer of entertaining
stories Of army life. And yet this
talented man, in his old age, through
no fault of his own. except it be tho
generous nature that impelled him to
impoverish himself in aid of others, is
compelled to fall back upon public in
stitution for his existence.
But the most remarkable feature OF
Mr.. Choeyer's career is this: During
the Civil War he served with credit in
regiment that won't through active
service and hard lighting, and yet he
draws no pension. He would never ask
for one, because, as he says, "a man
should not put u price upon his
patriotism. Such an example should
shame the great army of pension
swindlers who are enjoying the bount,
of the government, hut who never rem.
derd 1.-THE of the service that Mr..
Cheeyer rendered during his four years
of fighting for the Union.
1t is really false modesty on TIM
part of Mr.. Cheever that prevents hin
from applying for service pension

his claim, it could not with Justice b.

actual service in return for the bount

Mr.. Cheever only, it would, indeed, b

Something should be done to kee

man from ending his days in a WORK

Gordon street is now % feet wide,

wanted it widened to 40 feet. Some
years ago, ar award of 5000 was made,

do not desire the street widened, as
they have begun some building
