IN THE TRANsvAAL.

The Boer has raised his rife arm
And made his prayer to God,
The gold Of Kimberly is red
Beneath the crimson sod.
For broken Is the British oath
And hard the British rod
Who bOaststh in his foolish pride;
Behold me, am free
Must keep his sword within his reach,
His muszet on his knee,
Nor dare to sleep, lest he awake.
In chains Of tyranny.
For gold Is in the stubborn lands
That grudge their tithes Of grain:
For mines Of diamonds are hid
Beneath the arid plain,
And England is not first to cast
Her vow aside for gain.
The BOer is but a simple man.
With simple thoughts and ways;
A kinsman to the stOlid beast
With dull and patient gaze
A simple man who shoots to kill
And, killing, shoots and prays.
Upon his veldts and rocky rands
The English spears are set;
Beneath the burning Africa skies
The Northern troopers fret
But some remember IN their dreams,
Maiuba's mountain, yet
Who has not bars upon his coat
Must fight, nor question Why"
Who has not earned the right to speech
Has twice the right to die.
But If one dared to ask the cause.
What man would dare reply.
And so the BOer has raised his gun.
And made his prayer to God.
The gold Of Kimberly is red
Beneath the crimson sod.
For broken Is the British oath
And hard the British rod.

Recently, at an auction store in
Kansas City, the auetioneer was selling
cigars by the box To demonstrate that
the cigars offered were good, the auc-
tiOneer said he intended to throw a
box into the crowd, as samples.
He made a preliminary talk, sayin g
he hoped everyone present would get a
cigar, and smoke it, and then be in pO-
sitiOn to bid intelIigently at the sale.
There were at least 80 men present,
most Of them being stout fellows, but
one mediums sized man in the lot took
particular note Of the auctiOneer's pro
position to throw a box Of cigars into
the crowd He noted the auctiOneer's
words, and quietly waited. When the
auctiOneer finally opened the box, and
threw the cigars into the crowd, the
man who had been so much interested,
sprang into the contest, and grabbed
right and left. He pushed and jostled,
and trampled on mems toes, aud seem
ed to be everywhere at once. When
the scramble was over it was discover
ed that the man had secured A of the
80 cigars into the crowd.

John A Logan, jr, major in the
Thirty-third volunteer infantry, was
killed in an engagement near San ia
einto, Philippine islands, November
u. He was the only son Of Gen. John
A. Logan Of civil war fame Mrs. LO-
gan, when she heard OF the death Of
her son, went straight to the president
ial mansion to vent her grief. 'Oh,
my husband dead, and now my only
SOD, and, I left sloneI" we're the words
that smOte the presidents ears and
echoed through the halls Of the white
house. II would be a good thing If
every weeping, heart-broken mortal
bereaved in an unnecessary war could
only lay their plant before the man
who is responsible in this miserable
business, and, which q little tact, good
sense and loyalty to our institutions
might have prevented. There is des-
oIation in other American homes and
devastation and death holds carnival
in far way LuZOn.

Exposed the Deceit He PFac-

an air Of careless Indifference. Il ad-

confidently.

Whittier. $50, au revoir, old man. To-

Jumping into a car he passed the next
20 minutes in arranging his method Of
procedure, and one hour later he sat at
the dinner table with his wife-On his
face an expression Of IistIessness and an
unnatural stoop to his usually erect
shoulders.
What's the matter, dear?' said Mrs.
Whittier; ''you don't eat anything"
Whittier smiled feebly. Nothing -

brightness. I'm feeling a little stale,

Russia is reported to be pushing
down through Afghanistan toward the
Persian gulf and also to be reaching
out for more harbOr room in Korea.
Great Britain is excited and Japan is
ready to fight, and the former is Urg-
ing the latter on. japan has sent out
hurry up orders to Clyde bank, Eng
land, for the new battIeship to be com
pIeted January 1, 1900. 1t is also said
that Japan, Germany and the United
States are in an agre ement to prevent
the Intervention of other powers in the
British-Boer war. If these reports are
true how can this country keep out of
''the eastern question" or avoid entan-
clement in European complications in
case of a general war? We are already
involved and in a general European
war would surely be IN the mix up. 1t
is the opinion Of the most careful OBJ
servers of events that such a general
war is imminent. 1t is coming and
the United States will either have to
fish OF cut bait. These are the legiti-
mate fruits of the Mckinley policy.

From the present outlook Kansas
will be carried by the fusionists next
year, if wise counsel and good manage
ment prevail. All reform forces should
get together for the campaign of 1900
Bryan and Mckinley viii probably be
the presidential candidates, and the
former will win. The Ohio election was
supposed to be an endorsement of Nc
Kinley, but the vote shows the opposi-
ton had $1,000 more votes than the
straight republican ticket. So really
he lost the state. Ga the other hand
Bryan swept Nebraska by about 1900
for the fusion ticket.

Admiral CrOwninshield Of the bu-
reau Of naval construction, in his Off
cial report disparages both Dewey and
Schley and attempts to boost Samp-
son. He sttemps to make a point in
Sa mpsOn's favor by comparison. In
Manila bay there were no submarine
mines. In Santiago hsrbOr there we're
etc. Most people believe if Dewey had
been at Santiago be would have gone
in in spite Of tOrPedoes. He charges
Schley with disObedience Of orders etc.
His report is a slap at congress and an
indirect criticism Of the secretary Of
the navy and the president. Now this
attempt to make a hero Of Sampson at
the expense OF other naval command
ers is getting tiresOme and contempt
ible. It is we'll known that Sampson
while only 3 captain was jumped over
the head Of every commodore and
made acting admiral. When Santiago
was fought he was several miles away
and in his report he did not have the
decency to even mention SchIey. who
led the squadron in that brilliant affair.
The American people are in favor Of
fair play. Congress should call down
this old barnacle Of naval bureau
Ocracy.

the redOUbtable colonel made speeches,

in republican Pennsylvania a condi-
ton exists that is simply alarming. In
the 'city Of brOtherIy love" 1t has been
deemed necessary to form a league to
hunt out and prosecute perpetrators
of election frauds. According to re-
port, it is estimated that last year So
600 fraudulent votes were cast in the
city Of Philadelphia. Of a number.
where convictions were secured, one
man confessed to having voted the re-
publican ticket 81 times. Two men at
the late election confessed to stufhng,
at one polling place, 200 ballots in the
bOllot box the night before election.
1t was charged that, at the president
iaI election of 1896, in Ohio, Indiana
and other states stup endous frauds
were perpetrated. These recent de-
velOpments in the discovery Of great
frauds in the Pennsylvania elections
give color Of truth as to frauds eharg-
ed in the other states. These things
make serious men fear for the perpetu-
ity of our free institutions.

1.-THE PLAYS

Phil and Nettie Peters, with their excel lent company of popular-priced comedians, closed their engagement at O'Briens last night. Though the weather was decidedly inclement a large audience greeted their farewell performance. This is the compa- ny's second engagement in this city during the season, and by their meritorious per- formances they have made themselves fa- vorites in Birmingham The performances were clean and full of fun. Phil Peters is one of the best comedians ever seen here at popular prices, and when he appears with his charming little wife, Nettie, all ways brings down the house. Taking the show as whole, it is well worth the price of admission, and deserves the good pat ronage it has received.
 The "Jolly Pathfinders, ,' who will appear here for the first time next week. will have in addition to their show, public musical entertainment. They have band of twelve pieces, and will give exhibitions during he day. On Monday morning at 80 o'clock they will give a concert on the streets. and the following program will be rendered: ]: March, 'sMorris Guards" tChataway) over ture,- Martha GSloton); concert waltz.

New York, April 22.-The trading in print cloths at Fall River during tho week has been very large. There were no extras re- ported sold during the week. Sellers firm at 2%c, but although operations for the fall among printers are about to be begun, there has been dearth of bids all through the weeks. Odds have sold with a fair de- gree of activity during the week, but sales have not been heavy enough to reduce the stocks held by the, trustees. In staple cot tons locally and in eastern markets gener- ally the week had shown no movement of importance. Stocks of bleached goods in best grades are ia fairly good shape and other staple goods are in steady demand.

Paine. Murphy & COS Stock Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.,
 Birmingham, April 22.-The stock market opened dull and firm, but in a short time prices were a shade off under pressure of realizing by professional and arbitrage sell Ing by London. In the railway list the shares of the Southern railroad were very strong. Jersey Central rose over point on the announcement of the decision of tho company to issue stock to redeem maturing bonds. The street and iron stocks were somewhat reactionary. The bank state- ment was about as expected, and the clos ing was steady. One of the most gratifying features of the Wall street situation con- tinues to be the conservatism maintained by the stronger class of commission houses and the larger operators. Advice to buy stocks Is given cautiously. Any attempt to over expand marginal accounts is con demned. Bad as have been many of the crop reports of late, holders of stocks seem willing to take their chances on the future. Bankers all agree that money is loaned freely because there has been restoration of confidence.
