WHEN the automatic principles
which undergrad and sustain popular
government are perverted and the OBJ
jects of its institution wholly miscon-
ceived, it must inevitably fall. Not
the least among the brood of evils that
menace the Republic, is ignorance and
apathy. Ignorance o: the basic prin-
ciples of the government under which
we live, and to which we owe alle-
glance, is a species of moral treason.
No man can ignore or transfer his
obligation to society; it is personal and
Imperative. So binding upon the con-
sciences of men has been this obliga-

Churchill Well Treated.
London, Nov. 25.--The Daily Mail
publishes the following dispatch from
Belmont, describing the battle: THE
Beers held a position which British
troops would hold against almost any
force. The British Victory is COM
plete. My estimate Of the Boer loss
is 500 killed and $50 wounded. Mr..
Knight, correspondent Of the London
Morning Post. was wounded. The
Boer prisoners are ignorant, dirty and
wretched. They say that half their
commando. tired of the war, will re-
fuse further service.
1.-THE whole force of the fearful fight
was borne by the enemy. who were
obliged to climb 500 feet straight into
terrific stream Of missiles. The Ninth
Lancers pursued the enemy with great
vigor, but the Beers, well mounted,
and familiar with the hills, melted be
fore them. Possibly, however, our VIC
tory would have been even more de-
cisive had we possessed more cavalry"
Through the courtesy of the Trans
vaal authorities, press correspondent
at Pretoria, in company of Mr.. P. G.
Grobler, under secretary for foreign
affairs, and Mr.. De Souze, secretary of
the war department, was enabled to
visit Winston Churchill yesterday at
the model school, where he is confined
with the captured officers. Beyond
slight bullet wound In the right hand
he seemed we'll and looked hearty, al
though naturally chatting under en-
forced idleness. Mr.. Churchill said:
1.-THE Beers have treated us with much
kindness. This was the case from the
outset. They praised our defense OF
the armored train and expressed sur
prise that the locomotive was saved
from becoming hopeless wreck under
their artillery fire. We were marched
through pouring rain to Colenso, pro-
ceeding the next morning to the Boer
camp near Ladysmith, and then going
by rail to Modder Spruit, finally arriv-
ing here on Nov. IS. On the journey
great numbers of Beers crowded to see
us, but there was only one who made
insulting remarks"

INGHAM AND HEWITT SENTENCED.


Two Years and Six Months For the
Ex-Government Offlcials.
Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-Ellery P. Ing
ham and Harvey X. hewitt, formerly
United States district attorney and as
sistant. were sentenced by Judge Nc
Emerson yesterday to serve two years
and six months each in the Eastern
penitentiary and to pay a fine of 81
each and the costs Of prosecution. The
utmost possible sentence for bribery of
secret service agent and conspiracy
with the counterfeiters' gang to de-
fraud the government, of which the
defendants were convicted, is five
years..
With little outward evidence of emo-
ton, and without uttering word, the
defendants then went out In custody of
deputy United States marshal. A. S.
l.. Shields, their counsel, announced
that the case would be appealed, but 1t
had not been decided whether to 60 to
the United States circuit court of APP
peals or directly to the United States
supreme court. If the latter course is
taken 1t will be upon constitutional
question, the allegation being that the
defendants did not have fair trial by
a jury of their peers, the contention be-
ing that one of the jurors was incapaci-
tated because Of alleged insanity. thus
not giving the Judgment Of IL minds.
Soon after the sentence the convicted
men were taken to the penitentiary.

at diamond robbery was made last
night, but frustrated by the prompt
action Of boy and the police. Just

to pocket apron he had suspended
about his waist. The errand boy gave
the alarm and followed the man in his
flight. The robber jumped trolley

after a fierce struggle. All of the
diamonds were recovered except one.
