War on the TransYaal.

The quarrel between Great Brit
ain and the Transvaal is to be de-
plored. 1t arises out of question
which itseems to us should easily be
settled by diplomacy. If the Beers
were susceptible to the democratic
influences of the age and were dis
posed to be just they could allow
the claims of England, save their
autonomy and preserve their self re-
spect. The situation is one of pc
culiar conditions. Great Britain
has territory of 100000 square
miles in South Africa which COM
pletely envelopes the 10000 square
miles of the Transvaal. The gov
eminent of the Boer Republic is
practically an oligarchy, surrounded
on all sides by a most liberal de-
mocracy. The Dutch population OF
the Transvaal, which is less than
one quarter of the whole number of
inhabitants alone has the franchise.
The Ouitlanders, comprising three
fourths of the population, have no
civil rights although they own 90
per cent of the property and pay
more than IS per cent of the taxes.
Great Britain, which hiss an ac-
knowledged suzerainty over the
Transyaal, asks of that government
that residents rot Beers shall have
the same political rights therein as
the Beers themselves have in Brit
ish South Africa. In the light
of 10Th century civilization the de-
mands Of England seem reasonable
and If the Beers would be reasonable
war could be avoided. Great Britain
insists upon its demands and Dom
Paul is not wise in not allowing the
ouitlanders civil rights. Blood may
flow like water, the struggle be a
long and obstinate one but there can
be but little doubt of the result.
The British will win, and having
won at an immense cost the expense
will be charged up to the Transyaal
which means the absorption Of that
little republic into the larger life Of
the great British empire.

Glorious News

Comes from Dir. D. B. Cargile, of
Washita, l. II. He writes: "Four
bottles OF Electric Bitters has cured
Mrs. Brewer of scrofule, which had
caused her great suffering for years.
Terrible sores would break out on
her head and face, and the best doc
tors could give no help; but her cure
is complete and her health is excel
lent" This shows what thousands
have proved, that Electric Bitters is
the best blood purifier known. It's
the supreme remedy for eczema,
letter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and
running sores. 1t stimulates liver,
kidneys, and bowels, expels poisons,

WORK WHERE CHRIST TELLS You
To.-John 81: 10.
There is a time to be content with
the lot in which God has placed you
and to be content with the work there
given you to do, and there is time
when God calls you to move forward
and take up more important and
more difficult work. The exhortation:
Work where Christ tells you, applies
20 both cases. We should not feel dis
couraged because the work before us
seems small and unseen by the world,
nor should we shrine back in timidity
when we are plainly called to larger
place to which we feel unequal.
Perhaps the most needed lesson for
US is to be content to do well what
Christ tells us to do in a small way
"Trifles make perfection, but perfec-
tion is no tritle. +" Thorough discipline
of one private in the army may seem
a very small thing, but an army Of
thoroughly disciplined privates is a
very great thing.
Let US work where Christ tells US,
not despising the little nor Sinking
from the great things, and we need
not fear for the aid, the success and
the rewards which are promised to
the faithful worker.

Three Doctors in Consultation
From BENJAMIN Franklin.

"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for medicine ia
the first place; what experience tells
you is best, to be chosen in the second
place: what reason ii. e., Theory says
is best is To be chosen in the last
place. But you can get DR.. inclination,
DR.. Experience and Dr.. Reason to hold a
consultation together, they will give
you the best advice that can be
taken"
When you have bad cold DR.. In
clination would recommend Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy because it is
safe and pleasant to take DR.. Ex-
perience would recommend it because
it never fails to effect a speedy and
permanent cure. DR.. Reason would
recommend it because it is prepared
on scientific principles, and acts on
natures plan in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions and restoring
the system to natural and healthy
condition. For sale by r. S. Freeman

New York and, Washington have
welcomed the homecoming of Adj
miral Dewey in magnificent style
in such elaborate and splendid dem
onstration as were never before seen
in this country. The grandest ma
val pageant that was ever witnessed
introduced the demonstrations in
New York Bay. A thousand ships,
led by the great war leviathans, took
their stately course up the Bay, gay
with bunting, and with whistles
blowing, and the thunder of great
guns. In the city flags were over
all; warriors marched in serried
ranks to the music of boisterous
drums; bands Of music made the air
resonant with martial harmony and a
million voices responded to the well
come home of the conquering hero.
The legislature at its last session
made certain appropriations for the
benefit of the state institutions in
the way of improvements asked for
by the Regents and Board of Con-
troll but did not pass a law author
izing tax levy to meet the appro-
priations. The Secretary of State
refuses to place the amount in the
tax levy although there is statute
which says: when the appropria-
tons made by the legislature ex-
coed the amount of state tax levied
for the expenses of the year the sec
rotary of state shall levy and appor-
ton such additional amount provl-
ded by law to be levied, to meet all
authorized demands upon the state
treasury up to the time when the
succeeding tax will be due and pay
able. Secretary Froelich considers
this law unconstitutional and refuses
to levy the tax. The University and
Normal Regents and Board of Con-
troll held a conference Tuesday and
decided not to test the constitution
atty of the law before the supreme
court by mandamus proceedings
against the secretary of state.
