GLOW far away is the Temple of Fame?'
Said youth at the dawn OF day:
And he toiled and dreamed of a deathless
But the haprs went by and the evening
That left him seeble, and old, and lame,
To plod on his cheerless way.
For the path to Fame is a weary climb
Up mountain, steep and high,
There are many who start in their youth
But in the battle with fate and time,
For one, who reaches those heights
Are thousands who fall and die
The youth who had failed could never
The reason his quest was vain;
But he sought no other to help or bless;
He followed the glttering prize, Success.
Up the narrow pathway of Selfshness,
And this had been his bane.
How far away is the Temple of Good?'
Said a youth at the dawn of day:
And he strove in "A spirit of brotherhood,
The poor and unfortunate multitude
On their hard and dreary way
He likewise strove with adversely,
TO climb to the heights above;
But his dream was ever of men made free,
OF better days in the time to be,
And self was buried In sympathy
He followed the path of Love.

But after his work was done,
An angel of glory from heaven came
And wrote on high his immortal name,
Proclaiming this truth that the Temple Of
Fame
And Temple of Good are one.
For this is the lesson that history
Has taught since the world began:
That those whose memories never die,
That shine like stars in our human sky
And brighter grow as the years roll by
Are men who have lived for Man.

1t is estimated that the Transvaal can
put into the field no more than $4,000 fight
ing men between the ages of 16 and CO.
II the Orange Free State takes UP arms,
as now seems likely, $1,000 more men
would be available. or about 10000 in all.
If part of the Dutch population OF Cape
Colony should grow belligerent and rebel
against Great Britain, II is possible that
tho total fighting strength OF the Beers
would reach $4,000 men. Conservatively
speaking, however. and allowing for acces-
sions from the sympathetic Dutch in both
Natal and Cape Colony, it is likely that the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State could
put into the field no more than $4,000 men.
Against that number the British empire
could pour in an overwhelming force
The Beers are evidently well armed. They
have Mauser magazine rifles CT the latest
model. They have also quite a number Of
the very best quick firing field and mountain
guns, made both in France and Germany.
Recent reports by United States military
attaches in Europe Indicate that this artl-
terry excels anything of the kind ever sent
out of the French and German factories
Tho London Mail recently said that a Boer
battery had rate of aimed
fire of thrty-six shells as against
six shells for British batteries.
ut VueSIlOn lndJ arises at lnlS point Is
the ability of the Beers to handle modern
artillery with effect. There is some doubt
here since they have in the past fought al
| most exclusively with the rifle. 1t seems
probable that they will master the rapid
fire gun, inasmuch as their natural talent
for craftsmanship was long ago demon
strated with small arms. OF ammunition
the Beers have great abundance, 1t is
presumed and they are also well supplied
with horses. In guerrilla warfare these
| rough riders Of South Africa are said to be
unexcelled, but they have never met a
| large organized military force,
All these facts are less important, per-
| haps, than the character of the Beers Ac-
count should be taken of the spirit that
animates them, even more than of their
! firearms, in estimating the length of their
, defense. We doubt that, once war has be-
gun, the British conquerors will be able to
| proclaim a real peace in South Africa with
in six months. These Dutch farmers are

Chamberlain endeayors to relegate the

state in a semi colonial condition. both the

Their ultimate and crushing defeat is GER
tain; but hopeful English predictions that
the war will be over In two months may
easily prove fallacous. For it's work the
English army is small. smaller than that OF
the United states today, It's strength runs

reduced the Anglo-Indlau army below 60.

$4,000 and this force it is not safe to cut
below $4,000. At least, 1t never has been
London needs, as the Duke OF Wellington
long since pointed out, at least two army
corps, or about $4,000, at call, and this leaves
available only about $4,000 Of the 7S 900
usually in England. About 10000 men are
kept in the colonies and this force cannot go
safely below 10000 men,
The outer force which England can gather
for a campaign, therefore is, on paper,
about $4,000 men. Reducing this to the usual
proportion OF electives makes about so OOO
or two army corps. These troops, moreover,
are widely scattered and 1t will take weeks
to gather $4,000 men at the Cape and two
or three months to put 10000 men there.
1t took three months to put %, 600 men in
Egypt. 1t took nearly a year to put twice
that number in the Crimea. The English
commander will scarcely have an effective
force of $4,000 men in hand before Novem-
Der, perhaps December, and it will be a

corps will ba ready
If the Beers stand up to their work as

old no man can say. Nothing in military
history Is so uncertain as the behavior of

in warfare have been theirs, and some of the
most disgraceful panics. The odds, how
ever, are that the Beers will make a stub

GROWTH OF REVENUE.

The revenues of the government for
the month of September exceeded the
expenditures by some S7,OO0,00O. There
was a considerable gain from customs,
showing an expansion of the import
trade, while the increase from internal
sources evidences the activity Of busi-
ness. For the three months of the cur
rent fiscal year the expenditures of the
government have exceeded the receipts
by more than $4,O00,O0O, but in view of
the growing revenue the treasury Off
cials confidently predict a good surplus
from the years operations
According to the figures, it is manifest
that but for the expenditure on war ac-
count the Dingley law would now fur
nish all the revenue necessary for the
ordinary requirements of the govern
ment, so that it is entirely correct
to say that the law as a revenue
measure has been vindicated. While
this is true it has at the same
time been of great help to the industries
of the country and therefore to labor
In short, that law has accomplished all
that its authors and advocates promised
it would accomplish and while 1t would
be inaccurate to say that all the pros
perity Of the past two years is due to
1t, 1t must receive the credit for a
considerable part of it. 1t Is by no
means improbable that there will be a
surplus of revenue at the close of the
| current fiscal year, in which event con-
gress will be enabled to make some re-
hibit for September and indeed for the
| last quarter is altogether reassuring.

Brgadier General Davis has emphasized
his understanding Of the situation in Porto
Rico afresh by his regulations for holding
municipal elections throughout the island.
Under his rules the fatal mistake of uni
versal manhood suffrage is not to be made.
The voters and candidates for the approach
ing elections are limited to taxpayers and
members of the professions. This places
the suffrage only in the hands Of men who
are competent to exercise and understand It.
No greater error could be committed than to
place the ballot in the hands of the tens OF
thousands of ignorant, unappreciative. non.
taxpaying natives All that he has done UP
to the present time in connection with the
affairs OF the island General Davis has
done we'll. Happily, also he has a working
staff competent and willing to see that his
administration is conducted as he desires it.
