A WRITER IN the Youth s Compan-
Ion says that England is in the
A right in the present war which 10
being waged IN the TransvadL
These are the four reasons given
that caused the war:
Nv First Although the outlanders.
or foreigners, outnumber the Beers
= three to one, and although they pay
ninety per cent. Of the taxes, only
about two per cent. Of them have
secured the right to vote.
Second. Although surrounded by
I Beers and hall subdued savages,
the Outianders are not allowed to
carry arms.
Third. They must patronlze the
monopolies created by the Beers,
although these monopolies charge
exorbitant prices for necessary ar
ticles.
Fourth. They are maltreated by
the police, and forced to try their
claims before partial courts, IN
which the English language is for
hidden.
If they are true. then England
certainly had cause for invading
the Transvaal. From all accounts
received thus far from South AFRICA
it looks as if England is going to
have her hands full in conquerlng
the Beers. Thus far the Beers
have the best of the fighting. The
Beers are not pressing a fight in
Natal. 1t is there they are strong
est and the billy country from the
coast Is there best adapted to their
style of fighting. The British
troops are in good health and spir-
( its and the wounded are doing well.
4 The Beers have seized Colesburg
bridge. thirty miles TO the north
west and it is also reported are de-
stroying the line at knapdaar e'gh-
teen miles southwest and at Beth
uli bridge. where they have strong
command Thus far they do not
need the sympathy OF the people,
as they are holding their own, and
considerably more than their own,
if reports are correct.
THE New York bank statement
on Saturday showed a deficit OF
1888, $50, which was very much more
unfavorable than had been antlti-
pated. The statement was not CIV
en- to the public until 10 minutes to
u o'clock. AS soon as the bad bank
statement was known, the bears
sold stock right and left Leather
common was damned down from $40
to SIS a share in less time than 1t
takes to tell, then rushed up again
to $50 a share when the Exchange
closed on Saturday. This country
has been piling up balance IN
Berlin, Paris and London. which
will be liquidated after the British
have succeeded in squarlng &C
counts with the Beers, which will
release about S35, 900, 600 that has
been sent to the Cape to allav the
monetary panic which has existed
there ever since the prospect OF war
assumed an acute stage. The
troubles in South Africa Will. IN
any event rebound TO the proht OF
the United States. If the war is
quickly settled. immense sums OF
gold will be released, most of which
will come here and make money as
easy as the metaphorlcal ola shoe'
