front the Beers, that people will never
withdraw from the struggle while 1t re-
mains possible to put in the field bat
talon of troops.
The devotion of the Boer race to their
liberties has found most intense and elo-
quent expression in a recent cable mes
sage transmitted by President Kruger to
the New York World The old warrior
knows the awful undertaking on which
his people have entered, and he knows,
too, the spirit of his people.
''The republics are determined that i.
they must belong to England the price
will stagger humanity" That Is his mes
sage to the American people in the hour
of his and his peoples extremity. 1t Is
who, whatever be their hopes. are with
out decisions. 1t is the cry of the modern
gladiator going to his death. 1t holds no
appeal. 1t proclaims to the free people
freemen in South Africa to drain their
life-blood in the attempted defense OF
their liberties. They recognize but the
one alternative of death, and they ac-
cept it.
The handful of Greeks at Marathon who
withstood the mighty hosts of the Per-
sian conqueror were quite as foolish In
their day as the modern Beers. To draw
a parallel between the two would not be
in accord with the very prosaic and
matter-of-fact spirit Of our day. And
besides the Beers wear whiskers, an
offense against modern canons of good
taste which effectually prevents all efforts
at idealizing the Dutchmen Of the Trans
wall.
But history outlives many generations
No system which Britain may build up
on the ruins of the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State will render the future
historian Indifferent to the true meaning
of the national tragedy which at this
moment is in progress in South Africa.

notify the Beers, who are expected to en-

Maj. Scott then addressed the police and
volunteers, and, after explaining the sit

fight to step forward. Six men respond

they had no chance against artillery. Maj

TO REWARD THE HERO.

American people everywhere are
anxious to show their appreciation of
the services rendered the nation by
Admiral Geo Dewey, and various plans
are being suggested whereby a CRATE
full people may reward the man who
today is dear to all Americans. The
New York millionaires will take the
admiral in charge on his arrival in
their city and give him such recep-
tion as no other American has ever re-
ceived, but this will be only temporary,
and can be participated in only by the
select lew, while the entire nation
want TO do him honor.
Several plans have been suggested
for a general demonstration wherein
the entire people may take part. One
is to raise large fund by popular con-
tribution and found marine hospital
that shall bear the name of Dewey.
This plan has its merits, for it would
be monument to the hero that would
last as long as the republic shall stand.
But apparently the most appropriate
plan of doing him honor is the one
suggested by number of leading
journals of creating fund by free
donations, with which to purchase him
magnificent home in some place
he shall designate, that would be
gift from the entire American
people. Such a gift to such a man
would no doubt be most appreciated.
Dewey is of retiring nature, cares
little for pomp and splendor; in fact,
is plain, blunt soldier, and to be
carted about from pillar to post TO be
made show of and be worshipped by
his admiring countrymen would no
doubt be distasteful to him. He has
devoted his entire life to the service of
the nation: he is now approaching old
age, and for the American people to
provide him home where he could
spend his declining years in comfort
and quiet would be most appropriate
donation.

is terrible burden upon the bread
winners of the world, but no country
is ready to dispose of it's means of
defense and offense. However, the
improvements that are being made in
munitions of war are such that to go
TO battle means anpihilation, hence it
makes war so dangerous that nations
will hesitate before assuming bell
ligerent attitude toward another we'll
armed country. The new agencies of
war, improved warships, rapidly firing
guns and powerful explosives, in the
hands of we'll trained men backed up
by firm government will supply the
force to encourage universal peace,
and will probably have to be relied
upon until such time as the people
of the world become reconciled to
exercise more fully the principle of
doing unto others as they would have
others do unto them.

PEACE BY FORCE.

Archbishop Ireland, one of the com
missioners from the United States tc
the peace conference called by the
Gar, is quoted as saying in a recent
interview at Paris:
"All civilized nations favor the un.
derlying principles of The Hague con-
ference. ALI intelligent men recog.
nize that international differences
should be settled upon an intellectual
basis, whenever possible. While /
cannot anticipate the work of the dele.
gaLes, and while it would i'll become
me to offer suggestions to such dis
tinguished intellectual body, 1 am free
to say that there is no other work so
we'll calculated to bring happiness to
all nations as that with which they are
Confronted.
"The piling up of huge armies is the
bane of Europe. Most countries have
reached the straining point in this re-
spect, and unless remedy be applied
speedily, irretrievable ruin stares
them in the face. Civilization and
Christianity are concurrent forces
which could and should be made to
stop the spectacle of nations arming
themselves to the teeth for the purpose
of destroying one another"
The sentiment expressed by Arch
bishop Ireland meets the approval of
all peace loving people, yet it is doubt
full if that stage in civilization has
been reached to warrant the hope that
the nations OF the world are ready for
disarmament. The principle of secur-
ing peace by means of force has pre-
vailed through all ages, and it can
only be discarded by long period of
education. individuals have been
schooled to believe in the survival of
the fittest, and to recognize restraining
laws backed up by force through the
machinery of the government. Ma
tions are only a congregation of
and until individuals
learn to settle their differences by
and desist resorting. to
force, nations cannot be expected to
adopt this humane and civilized meth

Il LIFE WE'LL SPENT.

The life of Ex-Governor Roswell P.
Flower, of New York, which termi-
mated last Saturday, is one that might
we'll be taken by the young men of the
nation as an example to follow, for
it is full of honors, and demonstrates
fully the possibilities that may be
attained through enterprise, thrift
and application. Governor Flower
began life as a poor man in
Watertown, n. Y, engaging in the
jewelry business until he was 35 years
of age, wen he was called to New York
to take charge of the estate OF his
deceased brother-in-law, Henry Keep.
who was prominent railroad magnate
of thirty years ago. So successfully
did he manage the estate, that his
ability as man of business was read.
lily recognized. and he was able to
launch enterprises that made millions
for him and his associates in short
time. The Oregonian commenting
editorially on the dead statesman aud
fnancier says:
"Flower must have been born with
remarkable quick and strong business
brains, or with his small country ex-
perience he could never have mastered
the banking business and the methods
of Wall street so rapidly and thorough
ly as to enable him to become mem
Der of a firm that was successful from
its start within less than year after
his removal to New York city. Since
1872 Flower & Co. has been power in
Wall street. Within seven years
after his removal from Watertown
to New.York city he was not only an
eminent figure in business circles, but
in politics. He helped expose and de-
throne Tweed; was chairman OF the
democratic state committee in 1877;
defeated William W. Astor, the rich
est man that ever ran for congress, in
1881; won high distinction as debater,
and was elected governor of New York
in 1891. 1t vas during his ter m of Of
fee that Carlisle w. Harris, a young
medical student of education, a men,
ber of wealthy and influential family,
was convicted of having murdered his
wife by giving her fatal dose of NOR
phine, which he had artfully SUBJ
stituted for quinine capsule. A
tremendous pressure was brought to
bear upon Governor Flower to induce
him to commute the sentence of Harris
to imprisonment for life, but to no
purpose.
IAN able man of business, an able
governor, an able public speaker, ex-
Governor Flower was the most eminent
and useful statesman the New York
democracy has included in its ranks
since the death of Samuel J. Tilden.
His rise from comparative obscurity as
q genial, popular country jeweler be-
gan when he was nearly 30 years of
age, and for thirty years he had been
continuously and rapidly successful
without break in everything he had
whether in the world of
business or that of politics.
