national republican ticket. He

York. He is chiefly celebrated for the
gorgeousness of his waistcoats. Solo,

dude, he is Also if we are to believe
the Brooklyn Eagle, a good business
man and a clever politician. Here is
that newspapers estimate Of him:
with no resources beyond those which
sufficed for his passage through college
and for his entrance into business at
the foot of the ladder of opportunity,
he has been the architect of his own
fortunes. The foundations were laid in
industry, intelligence and integrity.
The superstructure has been wisely and
strongly builded, and is a very part of
the foundations on which it rests.
There are men who wait to gain for

even farther. 1t says: HE is sea-
soned, experienced and capable polite
ian, campaigner of skill, audacity
and Judgment, a speaker of culture,
power, resource and readiness, schol-
ar to be respected and a political adver-
sary to be feared If all that is true, it

IF the British press censors are CIV
| ing 1t to us straight, big battles
are about to be fought In Natal
the Beers are to be attacked all along
the line by superior numbers, tre-
mendous effort is to be made to bring
the war to a close at any cost. That's
all right, If it can be done. If the
Beers must be killed off, let the agony
be over as soon as possible. But even
If General Butler manages to defeat
the Beers in one or two decisive bat
ties, he still hasn't conquered the
Transvaal. The burghers can keep up
guerrilla war in the mountain passes
for months. They can fight it out on
that line if it takes all winter. The
British are bound to encounter the
most stubborn resistance; every mile
of the way to Pretoria will be bitterly
contested. Aside from it's moral effect,
if any, it doesn't matter much at this
stage of the campaign whether any
particular engagement is British VIC
tory or not. The Beers are the kind
of people who even when they are whip
ped out of their boots keep right on
fighting as valorousIy as if they were
administering to the enemy crushing
defeat.

cisco in its veriest infancy had decided
advantages over the baby Denver
When Denver was started 1t was six
hundred miles from all civilization
six hundred miles from railroads, tele-
graph offices, schools. churches, stores,
everything. The sturdy pioneers who
settled there in SO had to face dangers,
endure hardships and share in depriva-
lions that it is difficult for persons
who have been surrounded with the
comforts of life from their birth up to
imagine. AS a pioneer as old as the
oldest, the Rocky Mountain News
knows what it is talking about when
it says: I'm extending its greetings
and congratulations to the Society of
Colorado Pioneers. whose anniversary
was celebrated last evening, the News
can do so with all the more heartiness
and pride, because it has borne with
its members the burden of pioneer work
and can share with them the honors of
pioneer success. AS an influential fac
tor in the progress of the city and state
it stands without a rival. It's history is
their history; its growth is a reflex of
their growth; it's future is closely bound
up with their future, even as its past is
linked with the annals of the four de-
cades of Colorado existence

GREAT PIECE OF MECHANISM,
Ono of the Most Marvellous Timepieces in
the World.
York Herald

From the New York Herald
There is in Berlin a man who is the
proud possessor of a timepiece which is
considered to be the most wonderful
piece OF mechanism that human skill
ever put together. Ingenuity and hui
man skill have been brought into oper-
alton, with the result that watch has
been constructed which measures less
than one-quarter of an inch in diane
ter, or one with a face Of about the
size OF the head of a large-size tack or
nail. The case is made of the very
finest of gold and the whole watch
weighs less than two grains troy In
troy weight 1t takes $50 grains to make
an ounce and y ounces constitute a
pound, or 5,I6O grains are contained in
a pound. This wonderful piece of me-
chaism weighs only one-two thousand
eight hundred and eightleth part of
pound.
So great a curiosity was this midget
considered that its owner paid 81, 946.60
for 1t, and lie would not sell it for twice
that amount. The numerals on the
face are in Arabic, and if the hands
were put end to end they would not
measure fVc-twenty-fo urths of an inch
In length, the large one being less than
one-eighth and the small one less than
one-twelfth Of an inch long. 1t has be-
sides, just IS the ordinary watch or
CLOCK, second Indicator, Whlch IS
about as large in diameter as the small
hand Is long and the hand of this sec
ond indicator is less than one-sixteenth
of an inch in length. The numerals
here are also in Arabic, but are engraV-
ed in red, to be more easily discernabie
The works and hands are made of the
finest tempered steel and are set
throughout in diamond chips. 1t Is
constructed on the most improved plan,
being wound by the stem and set by
pulling the stem out short distances.

Tss 'as snaS general or put n'' to-
death in some way, the ad-
ministration organs were in a highly
wrought state Of Indignation over the
murder" as it was termed. 1t fur
nished texts for miles of editorials upon
the total depravity Of Aguinaldo and
the complete unfitness Of the Fill
pinos for elf-government
We are not sufficiently familiar with
the facts to be able to say whether,
under the laws of war, Luna's death
was justified. or if 1t was, whether it
was encompassed in a proper way
Still we know as much about the cir
cumstances as did or do any Of those
Mckinley enthusiasts who felt it their
pious and patriotic duty to denounce
the act as a cold FLOODED murder"
Nor do we know how much credence
Is to be given to the more recent story
purporting to come from Lieutenant
Gilmore to the effect that Luna ordered
him shot, and that Aguinaldo interfered
ana prevented the execution. The tale
has a rather dubious sound, and we
have No desire to either condemn Luna
who is dead, for something that he did
not do, or to give Aguinaldo d credit
to which he is not entitled. Neverthe-
less the facts seem to be about as we'll
authenticated as Dc, those relating to
the cause and manner of Luna's death.
We observe, however, that the i'm
perialistic papers are not saying much
about the affair They cannot accept
the story and comment upon it, with out
placing Aguinaldo before the country
in a very favorable light compared with
Luna, and hence they are silent. But
suppose the cases had been reversed
and Aguinaldo had ordered the execu-
ton while Luna had interfered and
prevented it! Would we not have
heard from them then? Well. we should
imagine. Why, their editorial columns
would nave fairly blazed with their in
dignant denunciations of the "cut-
throat Aguinaldo." 1t is not certain
that they would have said anything
very nice even about Luna but we all
know what they would have said about
his chief. If there is anything that the
Mckinley shouter Is not distinguished
FOR it is fairness.
