EXPRESSION FROM RAAD.
Regrets Massing of Troops on the From
tier, But WIN Do Nothing.


PRETORIA, Sept. 9.-In the first raad
debate was resumed on the interpret
lation of the government respecting
the concentration of British troops on
the border and the stoppage of ammu-
milton consigned to the Transvaal.
The house adjourned after adopting
by unanimous vote the following
resolutions:
1.-The voll1sraad, having considered
that friendly correspondence is still
passing between the two governments;
that the concentration of troops in
great number near the border has a
detrimental and restless effect on the
Inhabitants of the state, and that the
Transvaal has lived in friendship and
peace, now declares its regret at the
fact of concentration, and expresses
the opinion that, in the case Of eventu-
alties, which might lead to enmity or
war between the two governments,
the cause would not lie with the re-
public. AS regards the stoppage of
ammunition at Delagoa bay, the
voll<sraad trusts that the government
will act according to circumstances.
The raad further resolves to drop the
matter of the concentration of troops
on the border for the present until the
government shall supply further in
formation to the raad, although the
information received is unsatisfactory.
Nevertheless, and with a view to the
results of the negotiations which are
pending. the raad declares itself de.
termined in the meantime to maintain
the rights and independence OF the
republip -

Consciously or unconsciously. tn

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
supplemented 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
a lawyer tell 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.

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 vital defect in Anglo-Saxon
justice, and is not Offset by resultant
regularity or precision.

Apprehensions 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-pl 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 do
not become disconnected with the de-
lay.

PRETORIA, Sept. Sat the desire OF
the Transvaal government there has
been transmitted through Conyngham

an inquiry as to whether an explains a

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 n 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.. Cham berlain 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
to concede much for the sake of peace,
but will never sacrifice their indepen.
dence."
Mr.. Tosen declared Miners dis
patch was tantamount TO a declara-
tion of war.

MUSTER OUT ABOARDSHIP.
Proposition to Facilitate the Return of
the Fifty-first Iowa.


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.

eTATE REFoRMAToRY URGED.
Bar Association Preparing q 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 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"

figure, 10 and II cents a pound, that

sion. Rayla has been able to get or

statement is made that he is selling

of the Armour's to fiji! the orders, is
simply piling up the amount of his
