THE CAPE DrTCH IN THE WAR.

Scarcely any feature Of the South African
war has been more significant than the atti-
tude of the Dutch population of Cape Colony
A letter which we published few days ago
commented upon and explained the attitude OF
the Dutchmen Of Aliwal North. 1T was written
by the way not by an Englishman, but by A
man of Tcutonic BIRTH Much the same might
be said concerning the majority Of the Cape
Dutch. though without the special explanation
that applies 10 Allwal North the general ex-
PLANTATION being, however, not widely different
from it, There has been no general rising In
aid of Messrs KRUGER and Steyn 1t is said in
to-days dispatches that the Unexpectedly large
number OF Beers in the field causes the sus-
pcion that many disafected Cape burghers are
Joining them. That may be So But there is no
specific proof OF it, while II is certain that as n
whole, the people of the Cape remain loyal to
the British Crown, and the Cape Ministry con-
rinues to serve the Queen

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER III ALABAMA
AIabama's School Lands.

The Vernon Courier intimates that the unpopularity of the university will prove a boomerang for one side and a boom for the other in the senatorial race. This low esti- mate of the intelligence of the people Of Alabama, in marked contrast with the peo- pie of other states, leaves out of the reclx- oning several things that persist in coming to the front It not only assumes that Ala bama is a low-grade backward state, but it leaves out factors that must be consid- cred.
 In the first place it overlooks the school lands that were swept into the grand sale of September at the paltry price of $12.5O an acre. All the school lands-public lands were put in the deed to the Sloss- Sheffield company that that company wanted. About HOO acres were thus swept into the pool, at $12.5 acre. These lands did not be- long to the silk-hat gentry, or to the $2OO-a- head university; they belonged to the bare foot boys and girls of Alabama.
 The question before the people relates to the manner of selling these lands as much as it does to the selling of the university lands. When the voters are arrayed against the university in demagogic way, as the Courier intimates they will be, in quiry should be made al once as to the dis position of the school lands. Did the trustee of those lands sell them a their full value? Was his trust faithfully executed? Was he authorized to sell the school lands without public bidding or notice of any kind? The public school lands were sold at a price be- low the price that nearby lands of less value brought, and the barefoot boys and girls of the state should have some friends who will take their part.
 The Vernon Courier should meet any demogogFc denuncfation of the university with a demand for information as to the secret sale of HOO acres of lands belonging to the barefoot boys and girls of the state, who do not wear silk hats. They are not aristocrats of this world except in the broader and better sense of the word. Ask for an explanation of the sale of their lands at $1250, while American lands went at Si9.50 an acre.

Daniel Sharp Ford and His Wilt.

The death of the proprietor, publisher and editor of the Youths Companion, at an advanced age, reveals remarkable chapter in human life. The paper was os- tensibly published by "Perry Mason & Co., and its editorial control strictly and absolutely impersonal The death of Mr Ford reveals the fact that he alone was "Perry Mason & Co., and that he had been the editor as we'll as the proprietor of the excellent journal over forty years.
 The paper was reluctantly accepted by him in the division of property held by partners, and he proceeded step by step to make 1t an elevating and refining force in the households of the land. He was as en- terprising in his business methods as he was true and correct in taste, in morals in good literature. He made the journal

THH PAHsON's LAST WORDS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 He was an honest lawyer" said the par son gravely, and then, noting the look of in- credulity on the listeners faces, he hastily added: "As lawyers go."
 There was a little shuffiing of feet and the listeners stirred uneasily
 'He was an average lawyer" said the parson: fine type of an average lawyer. And when say average l mean just this if he had been the only lawyer on earth he would have been both the pest and poorest in his profession. But as there were others. I will admit that he averaged a good deal nearer the latter than the former.
 The speaker paused and wiped his glasses.
 "Where is he now. dearly beloved? We don't know. but we all can guess And II he's where we think he is we can comfort our hearts with one thought-and that IS that he is putting in his everlasting best licks to get a stay of proceedings!

not simply companion for children. but he made it also the desired companion of every member of the household. He carried it's circulation to surpassing figures, there by bringing a fortune of millions to him self. And all this time he was not known in it. It was not known even in Boston, among the elect, that his was the directing hand.
 After all his years of modest but highly successful effort he died, and was gathered to his fathers. He had been working in all the years of his active life in and through the Ruggles street church, Baptist church in Boston. This church has an aux Hilary organization called the Baptist Social union. To this society, as yet unineorpo- rated. he left $S5O.00o and to 1t also he left the entire Youths Companion plant in elud1ng its handsome building, together with other real estate. He left other char itable bequests, but it is plain that he wish ed his life work to go on through the Bap- tist Social union very much as he had con- dueted it while he was in this world.
 All in all this country has scarcely furn- ished a more successful. a more modest, a more useful career than that of Daniel Sharp Ford The amount of good that he did through the uplifting pages of the Youths Companion is simply incalculable He wrought year in and year out for good citizenship good morals, good manhood and womanhood, and no one really knew him until he was beyond all earthly re- ward.

THE "IsOO" TALK

From the Hartford Courant
 If is astonishing that people can get Themselves so muddled as many are about this question as to when the nineteenth century ends and the twentieth begins. It's as simple as the question when one ends and two begins. The first century could not end with the end of the year 99. for then it would have consisted of only 99 years, and a full hundred are needed to make a century The first century, there- fore. ended with the end of the year 100 and the second century began with the first day of the year 1O1. Take table like this:
 First century: Through the ys~' 700.
 Second century: Years 101 through 200.
 Nineteenth century: Years 1901 through 1sOO
 Twentieth century: Years 1901 through 2O0O
 That is as simple as rolling off a log. And yet here is the report that the young emperor of Germany has decreed that the year 1900 shall be celebrated the be- ginning of the twentieth century, and Pres iderlt Caroline Hazard, one of the most ih- teligent women in the country, has pub lished her reason for believing that the new century begins with 1900. All it wants is a little plain arithmetic. Any one who admits that 1t took a hundred years to make the first century must grant that the second began with 101 and that confesses the whole crease.

Crumpacker's Little Scheme.

Congressman Crumpacker, of Indiana, is pushing his bill for the reduction of the representation in congress- and therefore in the electorial college, of all the states that have disfranchised the negro; but he is doomed to disappointment in the end A solid south would be arrayed against his bill, and all republicans see that such a revolutionary measure at the opening of a presidential campaign would be disturb ing. They consider that things are com ing their way as events are going, and they do not propose to disturb the current, as they see 1t, in any manner.
 MT. Crumpacker himself does not hesi- tate to strike directly at Mississippi. South Carolina and Louisiana, quite forgetting that Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and a score more of states have constitutional provisions that limit the franchise privi- lege He does not propose to reduce their representation. He Is trying to make cap- ital at home in Indiana by striking at the three offending southern states. He has the "frandfather' and the understand ing clause on his brain, and he proposes to work them for all they are worth.
 It may be that he will be able to secure a favorable report on his billie is also possible that under the rules of the house the bill can be passed and sent to the sen- ate; but it will never be permitted to go through the senate. It is much more like ly that it will not be moved in the house. Every southern republican is opposed to it, and the republican managers are be- ginning to see that it is too full of diff faculties to be handled this year. Some other year will do, they are beginning to think MT. Crumpacker is no doubt will ing to fight for a lifetime if his constitu- ents will keep him where he prefers to do his fighting. He is willing enough, but the republican managers from the valued Mir. Hanna down are not ready to shoulder another issue at the present time. The Philippines and the panic are giving them all the issues they can conveniently han dle.
