rHr rRANsvAAL rnornLE.

Il begins TO look as if Great Britain
would have considerable trouble to bring
about the reforms in ihe Transvaal which
she has proposed. The President Of that
republic, Paul Kruger is about as stub
born an old fellow as an English d'Dlo-
matist ever came in contact with. Hle and
Sir Alfred Miner the representative OF
Great Britain, have failed utterly to come
to any agreement and it is hinsed that
there is no probability that President
Kruger viii make the concessions de
manded by Great Britain.
There are several of these concessions,
but the chief ones relate to rights claimed
by Englishmen who are residents in the
TransvaaL and have large property in
terests there. In fact the foreigners in
the chief city OF the Transvaal have far
more property than the natives-the
Boers. They pay about three-fifths of
the taxes. and yet they are not permitted
TO have anything to say in reference 20
public matters. They are not even per-
mitted 10 vote.
Great Britain is demanding that they
shall be admitted TO citizenship, and have
a voice in state and local affairs. The
President is willing to make some con-
cessions 10 them-to let them become citi-
zens seven years hence, provided that
two-thirds of the Beers of the counties
in which they reside are willing But
President Kruger isn't willing 10 grant
even that concession unless Great Britain
viii admit that the Transvaal is an in
dependent state. That Great Britain viii
never do. and therefore unless the Presi-
dent recedes from his position there is
likely to be trouble in the republic of the
Beers. because Great Britain is deter
mined that Englishmen in the Transvaal
shall have the rights of citizens.
If Englishmen get those rights the
Americans residing in the Transvaal will
also get them. Therefore. the dispute be-
tween Great Britain and the Boer repub-
lie is of great interest in this country
Great Britain will of course try every
peaceful method to gain her point before
resorting to force, but there isn't much
doubt that she will back up her demands
with her army. To bring the Beers TO
terms wouldn't be an easy task. They
are great fighters, but it would be mad
ness for President Kruger 10 invite a con-
flict with Great Britain. His little repub-
lice would be overwhelmed however
brayely his people might fight.

The following anecdote concerning the
famous lecture on THE Holy Land"
which, it is said, ex-Gov. Oglesby never
succeeded in delivering as he prepared il,
is related in Franc H. Kilkie's pamphlet
on the life of the Governor:
He had been invited to deliver this lee
ture at a country town in Illinois and ac-
cepted. A large crowd gathered to hear
him and he was greeted with loud ap-
plause as he stepped forward to lecture
He was only to speak for one hour, and
said in beginning he would preface his
lecture with few remarks on his expert
ences in Europe. At the end of two hours
and a half he was stll talking about Eu-
rope, add, because the people seemed so
delighted he announced that he would de-
liver the lecture the next evning
The same people came back, reinforced
by many more and a the end of another
two hours he stopped without having said
anything about the Holy Land, except TO
announce that as his subject. The third
night there was a monster gathering. ana
Gov. Oglesby, after finishing up Europa
started to say a few words about Egv-n,
ana the Nile before beginning his lecture
AT last he looked at his watch, and. with
a look of astonishment, turned to one of
his friends on the platform and said.
We'll, here it is II o'clock and I'll ha
hanged if I've got TO the Holy Land yet"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Commercial Qnd.) says:
'At last the most rampant Populist should
be happy man. The latest industrial
movement has horns on it. A dispatch
from New Mexico announces that George
F. Werner OF this city, leather manu-
facturer. has been inquiring after the skins
of horned toads. Mr.. Werner acknowl-
edges the corn, and confesses to the horn,
He thinks from what he has heard of
them these toads may furnish material
for fancy purses and other small novelties
in leather goods. IL is not true that he il
trying to corner the toadskin market. He
knows too well that if he should do so
the Texas Legislature would denounce the
effort as a skin game and probably haul
his agents into court"
President Schurman of the Philippine
commission is visiting some of the minor
islands, The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd)
saws: eff Mr. Schurmans visit 10 the
islands means the graceful withdrawal of

The Philadelphia Record Dem) says:
I'm order to reach corporations holding
charters from other states a law has
been enacted in North Carolina which
compe.s foreign corporations seeking to
do business in that state to take out
North Carolina charters, thus bringing
such companies within the range of state
supervision. When the state authorities
shun seriously address themselves TO the
task Of protecting private interests against
a form of organized plundering it may be
found that the power of the state is ade-

A Madison county 0ndiana) jury has
figured out fixed scale showing the casa
value of a boy child from his fourth 10
his twenty-frst year Of age. This scale
OF values was incidental 10 arriving at
the damage that had been sustained by
man whose 1S-year-old son had been acct
den,ally killed by falling into an open
sewer. ana who had sued the town of FL
wood for damages IN consequence. The
jury spent two days in compiling its ia
bles on one side it figured the chiids
living. schooling and all other expenses.
On the other it placed mis- earning power.
The figures, even down TO the matters of
food and clothing, were different for each
year. Up TO the eighteenth birthday there
was found TO be deficit. but beginning
with the eighteenth year the jury calcu-
lated that boy would be more than self
sustaining. The boy in the case on trial
had nearly completed his eighteenth year,
and the jury found that he would have
been able to discharge his indebtedness to
his father and to have earned S14S.50 in ad-
dtion The plaintiff in the case was,
therefore, given a verdict for that amount.

decision handed down at Milwaukee
the alien labor laws were intended by
Congress to apply only 10 common labor

cision any other of our alien fellow citi-

to enter this country as actors ought to

NEW ORLEANS STRIDE FORWARD.


New Orleans took a giant stride for
ward, toward healthfulness and prosper
ity when. on last Tuesday, her taxpayers
by an overwhelming majority voted to tax
themselves for a term of forty-three years
al the rate of mills on each dollar of
assessed values, to pay for the construc-
ton of sewerage drainage and water
works to be controlled and maintained by
the city for the public use This tax will
produce something like $1000OO0O or $4,000
900. 1t will be made the basis of bonds.
which will, make the money for the prose-
cution of the proposed improvements inn
mediately available. The opening of the
heated period win preclude any extensive
work at once. but next fall, it is 10 be ex-
pected, operations will be begun on such
a scale as to carry the work well on TO-
ward completion by the beginning of the
next warm period.
1t is TO be wondered at that New Orleans
did not sooner take a step similar to that
of last Tuesday. The need of sanitary
drainage has been apparent TO everybody
in New Orleans, TO everybody who ever
visited that city, and to thousands of
others who have only heard of it, for a
great many years. For a century there
has been no progress worthy the name in
the matter of drainage. Indeed, the ar
rangements for the disposition of fecal filth
are to-day pretty much the same as they
were when the nucleus of the city was
first planted on the muddy bank of the
Mississippi, with a few inadequate and
semi barbaric additions. No small amount
of poisonous and noxious accumulations
is deposited in the open street cutters,
while a lot of open and unwalled canals
are expected to carry off both storm water
and sewage.As consequence of the lack of
proper sanitation. New orleans has often
her material prosperity has been greatly
retarded. People have avoided the place.
either for residence or business purposes.
because they have been afraid of it, That
the city should have grown so great under
such disadvantages holds out the promise
that, under new order of things when
modern sanitation shall assure healthful-
ness. she viii speedily take her place
among the greatest and most prosperous
cities of the world.
An incident of the drainage election that
is worthy of especial mention was the part
taken in it by the women Ii was an cleo
ton of property owners. without distinc-
ton of sex; and the women worked and
voted for the proposed improvement.
The New Orleans papers give them credit
for a considerable part of the very graft
flying result-6,500 votes in favor of and
about 400 against the special tax levy.
