Sir Redvers Butler.

~ ULLER. That is the name that
England is conjuring with. Gem
IA eral Sir Redvers Butler is his
full name and title, and it has an aris-
tocratic sound That word ''Redve-s''
is full to the brim with bon ton. 1t
calls up visions of fashionable drawing
rooms in London and of fine, old ances-
trail castles with meats and draw
bridges somewhere back in the coun-
try. 1t suggests the glass of fashion
and the mould of form. Sir Redvers
Thackeray to gloat over. As it is, it is
name for Kruger and Joupast to
paste in their hats. ..
AS the London correspondent Of the
associated press pictures him, Butler is
a man of, iron will and iron hand Some
of his own officers do not hesitate to
call him a brute. In carrying the war
into Africa he expects to carry It to a
conclusion. 1t will be a finish fight
il will finish the last traces of The South
African Republic. General Buller,'' we
are told. freely expressed the opinion
that when he had driven the Beers into
corner his hand might be stayed by a
peace-loving public or well-inten-
toned war officer-a condition of things
re could not tolerate. for, as he express
az it, his hand was not one of those
{ that once put to the plow releases it's
grip - That means that it is to be
practically war of determination
Butler will give no quarter and will
ask none. The world is calmly informed
that Butler knows the Beers and hates
them; that as soon as he reaches South
Africa he will inaugurate a campaign
of aggressiveness such as the world has
seldom seen, but which he believes JUS.
tifiable by virtue of his own superior
force. The sternest measures will not
be too stern for him, and until the last
vestige of Dutch power, whether in the
Transvaal, the Orange Free State or
Cape Colony, is swept out, he will not
stay his hand.
If that is the kind of implacable fell
low Butler is, the Transvaal war for it's
size will be one of the bloodiest and
bitterest in history. Butler may sue
coed in demonstrating that he is gen.
eral of consummate ability; but if he
carries out his present murderous in
,tentions: if he turns his battles into
pnassacres, the name of Sir Redvers
Butler will not be one that posterity,
even in England, will delight to honor
and admire. Human nifty shoulders at the
thought of him.

The Revival of Oratory,

~HE New Haven Register notes an
increase of orators and oratory
s.8 in the country and finds that
the people are largely indebted to Col
William ]. Bryan for it. 1T was no,
until Bryan gave up the practice of his
profession" says the Register, "to de-
vote himself exclusively to the public
discussion of political issues, without
reference to Immediately pending cleo
tons, that others, who are opposed to
him, realized the necessity and wisdom
of meeting fire with fire." Well, there
is no harm in that The more that ma
tional issues are discussed by those
qualified to discuss them the better.
1t is true that there is a. renaissance
of oratory in America and that Bryan
started it. In the days of Webster
and Clay the stump speech was thu
whole thing. The newspaper of tha
time was small in size and deficient il
scope. 1t was not until Horace Greeley
made the New York Tribune the fore,
that it was that the stump found il
the newspaper a formidable competitor
Later on, too, magazines of the charac
ter of The Forum and The North Amer
lean Review entered the field of politi
cal discussion and the power of .ht
stump waned faster. 1t has been seri
ously argued that the newspapers ant
magazines were driving oratory to tbs
wall; and it is significant of the genius
of William j. Bryan that in spite OF
the Entertainments of the press he has
Te-established the stump speech as an
American institution. He has even
driven President Mckinley to it. II

ROW ABOUT A WOMAN.

Riley Runs a Bluff With Hammerless,
Triggerless Gun.
A row about woman occurred last
night in the lodging house at the corner
of Main and Galena streets, which re-
suited in William Riley being arrested
and locked UP at the city jail on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons.
1t appears that Charles McMullin OBJ
jected to Riley's attentions to his mis-
tress, woman known as Dolly Lee,
and when Riley persisted in coming 10
the room McMullin threatened to 90
dire things to him. Riley dared NC
Mullin to come outside and fight and
McMullin accepted the challenge. At
this stage of the game Riley pulled a
gun and threatened to shoot McMullin
so full of holes he would not hold hay.
A policeman happened along and Nc
Mullin had Riley arrested. At the jail
it was found Riley's gun had no trig-
ger or hammer nor much else, but a
barrel and he was accordingly only
booked for carrying concealed weapons.

Dropped Dead.

New York, Oct. 15.-While addressing
a socialist women's meeting in Second
avenue hall tonight Mrs. Florentine
Cantius Lange was stricken with apo
pleXy and died in a few minutes. Mrc
Lange was portly woman, about so
years old. and often became excited
when making speeches. Her subject
was "Woman's Rights" In the middle
of her address she suddenly stopped
speaking and began gesticulating with
her hands. Her face became almost
black and she began to totter. Several
women caught her as she was falling
and tried to revive her. She died soon
after a physician arrived.

That Ohio Circular.


holders, and sent all over the
country by the republican state central
committee of Ohio. is most remark
able document, and the action of the
committee in sending it is nothing less
than extraordinary. Al half score of
other states are also to hold elections
this fall, but Ohio is the only one. SO
far as is known, in which either party
has called for outside financial help.
1t is commonly supposed that in the
matter of state elections the people of
each state have about all that they
can attend to at home, but the republic
can leaders of Ohio seem to think that
for some special reason the whole coun-
try--that is to say, the republican part
Of it-should fly to their relief on the
wings of loyalty and love. This action
leaves no room for doubt that they are
thoroughly frightened over the outlook.
Ohio is a rich state, and the great bulk
of the wealth is in the republican party.
For any ordinary campaign it seems
that there should be no difficulty in
raising an adequate fund within the
limits of the Buckeye state. Especially
SO at this juncture, when the president
is an Ohio man and is making the most
frantic appeals to the country for an
endorsement.
The letter itself shows the extreme
apprehension of those who sent 1t
broadcast over the land. Among other
things it says: "On account, therefore,
of the official bearing in Ohio this year
upon the greater contest of 1900, and
because of the fact that the defeat of
his party in the presidents home state
will be heralded as a rebuke to his adj
ministration, we hope you will aid us
in this contest by sending as liberal a.
contribution as you can afford" If that
does not indicate "a fear of defeat in the
presidents home state" then there is
no meaning in words.
But the intense anxiety of the send
ers is further shown by the particu-
larity with which the letter explains to
the officials addressed just how the COM
mittee has fixed up the scheme so as
to do what the civil service law was
intended to prevent, without technical
violation of it. After calling attention
to the civil service law, the letter pro-
ceeds to say: you will observe that
| the law, while not prohibiting officers
and employees from making voluntary
contributions for political purposes, pro-
vides that such contributions shall not
| be made to any federal officer or en-
| ploye, or to anyone within federal
building or establishment. For this rea-
son and to avoid Violating any Of the
! provisions of the law, the committee in
charge of the financial branch of the
campaign work is made up of persons
in no wise connected with the federal
service" r.
A more deliberate and bare-faced vio-
lation of the spirit of the law, while striv-
ing not to violate it's letter has, we Ven
ture to say, never taken place in the
political history of the country And in
| Mr.. McKinleys own state, the perpe-
traitors being his close political and, in
some cases, doubtless. his personal
friends. And still there are those who
pirate of his high personal and po-
litical integrity and seriously attempt
to put him in the class with Washing
ton and Lincoln.
