Defense of Nnfnl

Cape Town, Aug. IA dispatch from
capital of Natal, says
that at farmers meeting called there
to consider the defense of the colony
it was resolved that the duty of every
loyal ablebodied colonist, able to rise
and shoot, was to aid in the defense of
the colony against invasion, and it was
announced that the volunteers would be
sent TO the frontier in the event of war
and that the rifle associations would be
left to defend their own districts.
The reported shipment of e4ooooO
from London banks is believed to be
due to the enormous purchases by the
Transvaal government of ammunition,
provisions. and forage, the supplies ex-
lceeding those of many European ma
tions.
1t is reported that former officer of
the British army is now recruiting
among the volunteers hare with the
object of forming an irregular corps for

England Forwards Supplies and
Orders and is Preparing For

London, Aug. 15.-The prevalent opin-
ion in England is that President Kruger
is playing a great game of bluff at Pre-
toria. He held long session yesterday
with the secretary of state and attorney
general at the telegraph office. He was
apparently communicating with the Or
ange Free State.
Orders have been issued to the field
comets to supply all unarmed burghers
with Mauser rifles free of charge.
An answer to Mr.. Chamberlain's COM
munication has been sent, but it is not
published.
The British government, on its side.
is making counter preparations. Guam
titles of war stores have been forward
ed to Bechuanaland, and the North
Lancashire regiment is under orders to
proceed there at a moments notice.
Since it is expected the Beers would
make dash for Kimberley in order to
cut off the Cape from Rnodesia, the
British are preparing to guard the rail-
way bridge across the Naal river at
Fourteen Streams, where the Beers
have field battery.

New York For Bryan.

All the Democrats in New York and
the nation will be for Bryan at the next
national convention, and Senator Hill
will be with them. He will do all that
he can to achieve success for the
Democracy in 1900. The claim that
the adoption of the Mott resolution was
victory for Croker and defeat for
Hill is absurd. Mr.. Mott is a Hill man.
His friends in the committee almost
unanimously supported the resolution.

with it was that it did not absolutely
pledge the seventy two delegates from
this state to Bryan re nomination.
Such resolution could have been
adopted had it been introduced, and l
would have supported it.-Chairman

a Certain Cure.

A negro named Henry Smith was up
before the mayor Monday on charge
of sending an obscene letter to white
woman. A fine of $50 was assessed
against him, which he will board out at
theEexpense of the tax payers. In cases
of this kind strap we'll applied should
be provided by the law and would prove
far more effective punishment, in spite
of the howl of the demagogue about
barbarism.
After the above had been put in type,
the punishment, which we thought
should be applied to such characters,
was in reality dealt out to Smith. Late
Wednesday night party of men went
to the Jail and took Smith out of the
holdover. They took him east along
the Mo- Pacific tracks as far as the
compress. There they stripped the
clothes from his back and gave him an
application of the lash, with instructions
to lose no time in getting out of the
county. The act of course, was an un-
lawful one, but it was just what was
needed to impress it on the mind of the
negro that our women will be protected

What Young Southerners Need.

Atlanta Constitution.
Whenever new cotton mill or fact
ory for other purposes is established in
the South one of its first needs is ayoung
man from Massachusetts, or Pennsyl-
vania to superintend it.
We have young men of our own who
should be available for this work, but
owing to our faulty ideas on education,
while they are prepared to be doctors or
lawyers, they are not prepared to be
handlers of coal or iron. Thus we see
them standing about without employ
ment or clamoring for commissions in
the army; while the fat berths with
comfortable salaries at home are almost
all taken up by strangers.
The need of our country, then, is edu-
cation-technical education. We do
not need men who can expound Black
stone, but men who can swing ham
mers and press electric buttons. If we
do not make our facilities for technical
education broad enough and thorough
enough we must expect TO see the
Massachusetts man sitting in the
superintendent 5 Office while our own
sons pass around the water pail.

Scrlhes aad Pharisees.
From the Fort Smith Democrat,

From the Fort Smith Democrat
i The trust press of the country Is
+ laughing all over its shirt front at the
production of real letter written by W.
j. Bryan ten years ago to the Hon. j.
Sterling Morton saying in reference to
an office he was asking for that he want
ed it for the money that was IN 1t.
, According to these great champions
of the allied trusts this exposure OF Mr..
Bryan letter and the unquestionable
proof that ten years ago he wanted ofhee
for. the money there WAS in it, demon
strates Mr. Bryan s insincerity. and
therefore settles the oft settled silver
question, iustifes territorial expansion,
approves monopoly and serapes the salty
coat from the rotten Republican party,
making il as sweet and pure as II no
experiment had ever been attempted.
Mr.. BRYAN letter settles no such
thing. but it does settle what kind of
man J Sterling Morton is; 1t does settle
what kind of straits the agents of the
trusts are reduced to; it does settle that
the men whom Grover Cleveland kissed
behind closet doors will never come back
TO the Democratic party.
Ten years ago
Ten years ago Mr.. Bryan was young
man lust out of school, with depleted
purse. He wanted an Office for the
money there was in it, and was frank
enough to say so. Now these humanized
sharks. with the gleefulness of Satan at
midway entrance try to say that Mr..
Bryan is in politics for the money there
is in it.
The difference between them and Mr..
Bryan is that they are liars and Mr..
BRYAN is truthful. They are office
holders themselves, or have been, every
one of them and if they think they wanted
office only because the Democratic party
would suffer without their services it is
the privilege of the people to believe
they are hypoerital liars who would
embrace every opportunity to betray the
Democratic party, just as they are now
trying to do in Kentucky by caJollng
Mr.. Bryan and working for Mark Hanna
and Republican rapacity.
Mr.. Bryan knows the wiles of the
enemy and what they will resort to, also,
he knows the truth and the power 1t
possesses. When he told Perry Belmont
to sit down and shut up the august scion
of an august family squirmed like a
worm and sat down and when the bolt
ing Democrats of Kentucky, under the
inspiration of great unknown spirit
unknown to them-went through the
mysterious ceremonies of endorsing
Bryan and free silver before deserting
to the enemy, Mr. Bryan with the
courage of a man who wants Office for
something more than the money that S
in it told them to their faces that
principle stood above personal compli-
ment and they that heard it knew the
truth and went away rejoicing
No, J. Sterling Morton cannot save
Kentucky to Mark Hanna by exposing
Mr. Bryan S confidential letters of ten
years ago, nor can w. P. G. Brecken-
ridge dim the faith in Texas by preach
ing the gospel of greed as exemplified in
expansion for the we'll armored few,

The Killing Justlfiabla.

From Sundays Fort Smith Times.
John Woodward, the man knocked
down by John Furie Saturday morning
at one o'clock in front of the Electric
saloon, died yesterday morning at nine
o clock at Belle Point Hospital.
Late developments in the case disclose
that Furie twas not the aggressor, but
rather acted in self defense. Woodward
was out searching for trouble that night
and had been in several fights before
meeting his Waterloo at the hands of
Furie. Said officer John Dyer yester
day in conversation with the Times:
II was in the Electric saloon, Satur-
day morning about ~ 80, and Furie was
also there, leaning against the bar.
Woodward came in drunk and walking
up to Furie, struck at him. | didn t
think that it was meant in earnest but
supposed that he was only trying to have
little fun, so paid no attention to the
matter. | cautioned them to stop before

walked up to Furie and with fearful

Bryan Predicts Victories In Ohio,
Nebraska and Kentucky.

CHICAGO, ILL. Oct. 22.-"The out
look in Kentucky and Ohio is very en-
couraging for the Democratic party,
said William Jennings Bryan today.
He reached Chicago early this afternoon
and left for the West in the evening.
Il can only speak about the campaign
in those two States, he continued, ''as
| saw it. The crowds were large and
enthusiastic. The campaign has been
vigorous and Democratic success can be
predicted in both States. The same
bright prospect is to be seen in Iowa and
Nebraska, and l wouldn t be surprised
if all four States were carried.
1.-The question of militarism and of
imperialism is large factor this year.
Everywhere are references to the Ameri-
can principle of liberty and adherence
to the lines upon which this Republic
has been built received with manifest
ations of approval. -
There is noticeable disposition on
the part of the German and Irish voters
to fight the Republican party because of
their opposition to the ideas and purposes
expressed toward the Philippine Islands.
In fact, the foreign vote is largely
against anything which will set up a
militarism in the Republic and which
will drag us into the colonial policy of
the Old World.
1.-The foreigners cling tenaciously to
American ideas. In the country dis
tricts find the current of feeling running
largely against the Republican party
because of its policy of Imperialism. -

Circus has Been Barred.

The Little Rock board of health
Wednesday afternoon made an order
refusing the Forepaugh & Sells Bros.
circus permission to give an exhibition
in the city next Monday as advertised,
for fear of spreading the smallpox by
the gathering of such heterogeneous
crowd. Mr.. Chas. A. Davis agent OF
the great aggregation regards it as a
great hardship that they are not permit
ted to fill their engagement, Little
Rock Democrat.
Would it not be well for our people to
exercise foresight in this matter. Small
pox exists at numerous points along the
new Choctaw road and around the coal
mines south and west of Fort Smith,
and this circus will draw many from
those places there that day. An
ounce of prevention is worth pound
