A PAINFUL SUSPENSE.
No News From South Africa.

London, Dec. 2.-4:30 a. NJ
Absolute silence has fallen over
affairs in South Africa. The war
office has not yet received Lord
Methuen's casualty list. The pub
lie and the press, hitherto patient,
are beginning to murmur at the
apparently needless delay which
keeps families in state of painful
suspense.
1t is regarded as practically GER
tain that Lord Methuen has been
reinforced by half battalion of the
Gordon Highlanders, a regiment OF
cavalry and a battery of artillery.
and that Deaar is being reinforced
by troops to hold the lines of com
munication, 1t is supposed that
the Natal advance has been delayed
by the necessity of getting supplies
to Pietermaritzburg, but not word
emanates from any of the various
commands.
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Charles Mans
field Clark, who: AS already an
nounced, will command the Sixth
division, has seen much service in
South Africa, particularly in the
Zulu and subsequent wars He
has also held u number Of high
staff appointments at home and is
reputed to be Il very capable officer.

Death of Miss Lula Bailey.

Nickel, Texas, Dec. z, 1919.
Last Monday morn our little
cammunitys'was thrown into the
widest grief and excitement over
the sudden death by suicide of Miss
Lula Bailey, daughter of Mrs. NJ, A.
Bailey. At all early hour Monday
morn, while the family were at
b 'eakfast. Miss Lula procure d a re-
volver and going out in the yard
near an Clubhouse, shot herself
through the heart. expiring shortly
after the family reached her side.
Scarcely three months ago this
stricken family buried their pater-
nal relative, James Barley. Closely
following his death occurred that Of
the wife of 4. c. Bailey, dearly
loved brother Of Miss Lula's. An
almost worshiped elder sister who
has been quite sick for sometime,
grew suddenly worse, dependency
over this sisters condition and grief
for those other departed loved ones,
caused Miss Lula to commit the
rash act.
We who knew and loved her,
know that nobler, more self-sacri-
fcing woman never lived. She
devoted her entire time to the com
fort and welfare of her dear old
mother and brothers and SISTERS
and her untimely death has plunged
them in sorrow which is terrible
to witness and which time alone
with its softsning influence can
heal. Miss Lula was Al years, 8
months and 10 days old at the
time of her death.
And yet while this dear sister
and daughter lay in her burial
robes, awaiting interment, the lovely
little boy baby who only few
weeks ago came to brighten the
hearts in another brothers home,
fell sick and died after few hours
severe suffering.
Over the terrible grief and agony
attending these sad deaths we kindly
draw veil, leaving their loved and
lost to IN all-wise God, who is too
wise to err and too just to judge
wrongfully. The sympathy Of the
entire country flows out TO these
families in their sad bereavement.
A LOVING FRIEND.

CURRENCY REFORM.
The Wisdom of Going Slowly in This
Matter Very Intclligently Com

1hc nlsuoIn Oh UoinG SLOWLY in This
Matter Very Intclligently Com
mcndc1.
Philadelphia Inquirer: It has been
decided, according to report. that the
committee of Republican congressman
which is shortly to assemble at Atlantic
City to formulate scheme Of currency
reform for presentation to the next
Congress, will not undertake to revolu-
tionlze the existing 81 stem but will
;coniine Itself to the preparation OF a
Simple. practicable. and unobjectionable
plan for its amendment. That will oe
the wisest and, indeed, the only safe
and proper course. Experts and theor-
lists may say that our currency system
Is radically unsclentifc and unsound,
and that 1t needs to be reconstructed
from the ground up. and that may be
true, but II does not follow that 1t would
be good policy to undertake the work
OF reconstruction all at once, or to
spring new currency law upon the
country on the verge Of presidential
election.
The currency Is subject on which
people are sensitive. Their fears with
regard to 1t may be very foolish, their
reluctance to allow the issue of paper
money to pass under the exclusive con-
troll of the banks may be unreasonable,
but the wise politician Will reckon with
those fears and he will seek to over
come that reluctance rather than ven
turc upon paths where there is cause
for surprising that the masses OF the
people will be unwilling to follow him.
1t Is no use trying to go faster than the
majority OF the community, and the
political leader who knows his business,
who has the qualifications for leader
ship, will not attemptit. He will make
sure. to the best of ability, that he is
heading In the right direction, and then
he Will move along In that direction no
faster or farther than those whom he
essays to lead are able and ready to
Keep up with him. He must be little
ahead. of course, otherwise he were no
leader, but he must not be out of sight
or touch or hearing of his followers.
These are truths which the men who
have been charged with the duty of
forming currency bill will do we'll TO
keep steadily in. mind. The secret of
successful politics is to attempt no
more than Is possible. and currency
bill 10 get through Congress and to
command the approval OF the country
will need to be brief. simple. and con-
sentative. If it embo5ies the Presidents

pcsited instead Of - Only 80 per cent
thereof. as at present, and perhaps au-
thorizes the incorporation of national
banks with a capital Of no more than
$4,000. II will go quite far enough. In
this matter one step, and that not
very long one, Is all that should be ia
ken at time.

The New York Herald thought to
startle the china trade by an article
designed to show that golf and other
athletic fads among women were in
juring that branch Of Industry. The
China, Glass and Pottery Review
doesn't seem to be frightened at the
Herald's gruesome predictions. which
contain the following paragraph:
Among the latest walls over the atll-
letic craze among women is ono from the

love golf" which, sarcastic allusIon will

To Test ANTITRUST LAW.

1t is interesting to note that test
OF the bearing ofthe national antitrust
law OF 1890 upon combinations, such as
have been recently formed, Is to be
made In the case recently begun In the
federal court against the Chesapeake &
Ohio Fuel company. Of Cincinnati, and
some fifteen other corporations and
companies that are both producers and
shippers OF coal and coke, suit here
totore referred to In these columns. 1t
Is understood that the action was begun
with the approval of United States At
torney General Griggs. In view OF the
amount of discussion being INDUCED In
regarding the efficacy OF the law, of
which this case Is to be an important
test. and the frequent illusions to the
alleged failure Of the authorities to en-
force the law, brief summary OF the
matter may be interesting.
The bill OF complaint In the suit
charges that the companies that are
made defendants formed contract
and combination on December IL, 1897,
..in restraint of trade and commerce"
in the production of coal and coke and
that this Conspiracy was formed In
violation of law" The bill says that
on Janary !, 1898, the agreement be-
tween the companies went into effect,
and that ever since the companies that
are made defendants have monopolIzed
and controlled the amount OF coal and
coke produced in the Kanawha mining
district Of this state. The Inteiiigencer
has published in the past considerable
information regarding the operations
OF these companies.
The charge is that the combination
has only permitted such amount OF coal
to be mined and coke to be made by the
several companies In the deal as could
be sold blythe Chesapeake & Ohio Fuel
company; 1t is also asserted that the
mining companies were only permitted
to ship their proportionate amount Of
coal at a stipulated price based on the
ratio fixed by the executive committee
Va llIC SOiLipIlullOll. #. .a
This explanation of the manner In
which the combination has worked is
given in connection with the statement
that the result OF the action will afford
test Of the bearing OF the law of 1890
on the combinations OF the more mod
ern type. Saturdays Bradstrcet's Is Of
the opinion that the prosecution OF the
case, which seems to have been slim
ulated by the recent discussion. about
combinations, will be followed by some
degree Of interest by the public, in
whose mind the exact legal status Of
combinations remains q more or less
open question.
The point upon which the suit is
based is alleged by the bill. to be that
the above-named restrictions Imposed
by the executive committee of the COM
bination have destroyed competition in
the sale Of the product, and the bill
prays the court to enjoln the companies
from selling or shipping coal or coke
into other states. The court is asked to
declare the agreement made by the
companies null. The outcome of the
case will likely be watched for with
more than ordinary interest, particu-
larry in West Virginia. where the COM
binatlon is operating.

i Renarknhlo Critic.

A simple little paragraph In the In

since expressed the opinion that the
senatorial situation in Pennsylvania
