A DEMOCRAT ON PROSPERITY.

(From the Richmond Times, Dem.)
The silverites and other pessimists
continually declare that the wave of
prosperity that is surging over the
country will soon be arrested, and that
it will then recede and leave the coun-
try as badly off as it was when in 1896,
and then they will have a show to come
into power. For one, the Times believes
that conditions have so changed from
what they We're in the midnight period
of darkness, when it seemed possible
that we might abandon a fixed stand
ard of value and have men inquiring
around in all directions to know what
they We're to receive when holding
promises to pay dollars, that increas-
ing prosperity is assured to the country
permanently. and that there will be no
arrest of the movement unless the bad
ly informed men who engineered our
recent disastrous experience again get
into a position that seems to threaten
the country with their domination.

LONDON. Oct. 30.-The large number
of British officers killed in the battles
which have already taken place in Ma

custom of British officers in refusing to
take cover when under fire. From fig
ures at Glencoe, it is apparent that one
out of every four men killed was an Of

upon the principle that to every 20 men
there is one officer. It is evident that
if the same ratio of mortality is kept
up, the British forces will become Sc

listed men at Glencoe. the proportion
of killed to wounded was 80 to 1856,
while 10 officers were killed to % Off

percentage leads to the conclusion that
many Of the officers were hit more than

quently quoted. The feeling in the army
itself is that though the regulations do
not say the officers must not lie down.
it is such an old established principle
that it would take a brave man to in
angnrate a change, and the adage OF
the British soldier "follow wherever an
officer leads" is held to be still intensely
true, for although the officers believe
the personnel Of the army is as good as
ever. it has been the history Of Great
Britain that they at the same time
maintain that Tommy Atkins" needs
more leading than any man in the
world. so the splitting Of Great Britaiu's

present.

Detailed Story of the Fighting at Lady,
LONDON. Oct. 31.-The battle between
the British and Boer forces at Lady
smith Monday lasted several hours and
according to war Office reports the ell
envy was driven back several miles, al
though the British were unable to con-
tinue their success any further, owing
to the strong natural position occupied
by the Beers after their first retreat.
The British advance was made at
dawn with the object of Smelling the
Beers from the position where they had
mounted a mum Der Of guns. On reach
ing the spot, however, it was found
they had evacuated the position.
The British continued to advance
and the movement developed into a re-
connaisance in torce. The enemy were
posted on range Of hills having q
frontage of about is miles.
Ro-r tise Very Severe.
The Beers opened with a heavy artil-
lery and infantry tire. Our artillery
quickly reG1ced the volume of the
enemys fire, hut the attack delivered
on our right flank was the principal one
and the column was compelled to
change. The Boer attack had been
silenced for d time and our infantry ad-
vanced covered by cavalry. The enemy
now began to develop a heavy counte,
attack and as they were in great nu-
merical superiority General White gave
orders for the infantry to be gradually
ried out with great steadiness and de-
liberation under cover of our guns,
which made excellent practice.
Some shells We're thrown into the
town from the enemy's 4O-pounders at
a range Of over 5000 yards, but nc
damage was done.
The engagement lasted several hours
and resulted on our side in casualties
estimated at 80 to 100. The enemy's
losses must have largely exceeded this
total.
