Proposition to Facilitate the Return of
the Fifty-first Iowa.

Proposition to Facilitate the Return of
the Fifty-first Iowa.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA telegram
has been sent to Gen. Otis at Manila,
which probably will result in the
Fifty-frst Iowa regiment being mus
tered out on the way home, if they
desire to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity. Gen. Otis was instructed, If
practicable, to place a regular army
officer, who has had mastering expe-
rience, on the transport with the re-
turning volunteers, and during the
voyage to cause the records of the
regiment to be prepared in accord
ance with general orders for that pur-
pose heretofore issued If Gen. Otis
carries out this order it will result in
the Iowa boys saving about three
weeks time in reaching their homes.
They will hardly have to stay any
time in San Francisco. An old official
OF the war department, however, ven
lures the suggestion that there will
be such rumpus among officers and
men that it will be impossible to carry
out this order. The other regiments
have had their three weeks rest in
San Francisco with pay, and he be-
lieves the Iowa boys will want the
same privilege.

Asks why British Troops Are On the
Frontier.
PRETORIA, Sept. Sat the desire of
the Transvaal government there has
been transmitted through Conyngham
Green, the British diplomatic agent
here, to Sir Alfred Miner, the British
high commissioner of South Africa,
an inquiry as to whether an explana-
ton would be given in regard to the
mobilization of British troops ION the
Transvaal frontier. .ME.e4.s...
PRETORIA, Sept. 9.-The following
is Sir Alfred Miners reply to the
telegram sent by Secretary of State
Reitz, asking for an explanation of
the gathering of English troops on
the Transvaal border:
II do not know to what Mr.. Reitz re-
fers when he alludes to the massing of
troops. This must be the British
troops in South Africa, the position
and numbers of which are no secret;
but it is matter of common knowl-
edge that they are here in order to
protect British interests and to make
provision against eventualities."
In the National Assembly President
Kruger spoke as follows:
THE aliens have been offered equal
rights with the burghers, but have
refused them. Mr. Chamberlain is
striving to get the franchise, which
the outlanders do not want; but what
he really desires is possession of the
Transvaal. The burghers are willing
Il Ia e.. H.
but will never sacrifice their indepen.
dence"
Mr.. Tosen declared Miners dis
patch was tantamount to a declara-
tion of war.

DIES MONIES, Sept 9.-The Daily
News has special dispatch from Col.
Lopez, at Manila, as follows: "The
Fifty first Iowa regiment was relieved
from duty at noon on Wednesday,
after an arduous campaign of many
months during which, though our
actual losses from the bullets of the
enemy were comparatively light, the
regiment suffered fearfully from the
ravages of disease, more than half my
men being in the hospital and some of
them seriously sick. The regiment
have behaved sp.endidly and General
Otis has frequently complimented
them for gallantry and fidelity. Quite
n number have re-enlisted. The prob
ability is now that we will sail for
home about September Is, stopping at
Yokohoma, Nagasakl and Honolulu.
Will wire you Immediately on our ar
rival at San Francisco"

Consciously or unconsciously, the
demagogue adopts this philosophy.
Flattery is his method and his stock
in trade. 1t catches the unthinking
multitude; it pleases the shiftless and
the flabby of intellect; it excuses the
lazy and the unsuccessful. BY it selfish
and dishonest men lead the honest and
simple minded to their own undoing
1t is our misfortune that nearly all Of
us are likely to be caught by the sweets
of the f1atterer. The editor has heard
lawyer tell a country jury how great
an honor it was in the ancient days
to be Roman citizen and what re-
sponsibility that citizenship carried
with it. But, however great the
honor, dignity and responsibility Of
Roman citizenship" continued the
lawyer, lit was as nothing compared
with yours! You are citizens Of Bun
combe county-every man a sover-
eign!" And he supposed that kind Of
stuff would influence the jury to de-
eide in favor of his client.

Approximations seem to be felt in
some quarters lest the United States
may act with undue haste in the mat
ter of giving the Cubans independence
before they are competent to govern
themselves. The United States is
pledged not merely to give independ-
ence to Cuba, but to establish a
stable government" there. To give the
former without providing the latter
would be equivalent to the creation OF
another revolution-plagued republic
This is so generally understood that
few Americans are in favor Of making
haste about cutting loose from Cuba,
especially as long as the Cubans dc
not become disconnected with the de-
lay.

Humble Sioux City Butcher Makes Con-
tracts and Money.
SIOUX CITY, Sept, IA contract
between the Armour's and John M.
Ralya, of Sioux City, has resulted in
the besting of the former concern by
the latter, a humble butcher, to the
tune of perhaps 100000. The Ar
monr firm agreed to purchase from
Ralya his "entire supply" of fresh
pork for the succeeding six months at
rate based on So cents for loins,
other grades bringing corresponding
figures. In short time the prices
for the products for which the Ar
mour's had contracted began to raise,
and Rayla commenced doing jobbing
business. But the price kept BOOM
ing, and directly got up to such a
figure, 10 and IL cents a pound, that
Armour's refused to fill the orders
secured by Mr.. Ralya on the outside.
AS the prices mounted skyward,
Ralya came to more and more appre-
ciate the snap he had in his contract,
and he became convert to expan-
sion. Rayla has been able to get Or
ders for scores of carloads of pork,
loins, etc, at a profit ranging in the
vicinity of 500 per carload. The
statement is made that he is selling
subject to delivery, and every refusal
of the Armour's to fiji the orders, is
simply piling up the amount of his
claim which he will have against
for breach of contract. These sales
will therefore be the measure of his
claim, and there are those who esti-
mate the amount of the profit at not
less than 800 600

Bar Association Preparing = Bill for
Presentation to the Legislature.
Dies MONIES, Sept. s.-The State
Bar Association is preparing bill to
come before the next legislature to
to provide a state penal institution
which shall be in nature midway be-
tween the penitentiary and the re-
form school. 1t is thought there are
good many boys who are not bad
enough for the former, and yet too
bad for the latter, and it is to cover
this class the institution is desired.
Speaking of the matter Judge W!oolson
said:
1.-The influence of older and more
vicious criminals is very bad for the
younger inmates who are in many
cases confined with them. The pro-
position in having a new institution
is to provide for boys of middle age
and older criminals who have not be-
come hardened, and the young ones
who are very wrong. The question
as to where the different classes of
criminals should be sent has always
been a very serious one with me. At
present prefer the county Jail to the
penitentiary for some of the cases."

In his letter, as president, to the
American Bar association recently held
at Buffalo, Ambassador Joseph H
Choate said: The laws delays, which
seem to be constantly on the increase
may we'll engage the earnest attention
of the association. No opportunity
should be lost to counteract the in
eyitable tendency to elaborate pro-
cedure and unnecessarily multiplied
appeals" These words were we'll said
Justice delayed is more than justice
delayed; it is justice impaired. Time
is of the essence of the matter. Tar
diness is a vital defect in Anglo-Saxon
justice, and is not offset by resultant
regularity or precision.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The cabinet coun-
Gil here yesterday attracted greater
public interest than any meeting Of
the ministers for years past. The
council was marked by absolute unan-
unity and In spite of lack of official
information and the presence of much
corroberative evidence that the stu
alton is scarcely less strained, there
is no sign of any intention to convene
parliament and no immediate neces-
sity EXISTS to call out the reserves
1t is probable, however, that the APP
peals from the government of Natal
will result in the dispatch of large
body of troops from England and In
dia to Natal and Cape Colony.
Later-It is understood that the re-
suit of the meeting established the
following facts: Parliament will not
be summoned, the reserves will not be
called ont, but ten thousand troops
will be sent to South Africa. The As
sociated Press learns that n strongly
worded dispatch has been sent to the
Transvaal which will be published
here Immediately on it's delivery there.
