The London journals continue to display
a vast amount Of military knowledge in
their criticism of events in South Africa.
Without waiting for details of the engage
ment, they now assert that the disaster to
Gen. Gatacre's scouting expedition was &C.
casioned by his failure to properly use his
cavalry. This sounds wise. but no one
knows whether 1t Is true or not. The nat
urai inference to be gathered from the
brief account cabled is that the guides be-
trayed the English troops. and will no
doubt result in more care being taken in
the selection of guides in the future. The
Beers Of Cape Colony sympathize with
their Transvaal brethren, and common pru-
dence would dictate that too much conf
dence should not be placed in them, partic-
ularly when proffering their services as
guides for military expeditions.

The Populst and the Democratic fac

into fragments over the selection of a sue

Senator Allen, while the Democrats say
that the Populists have had too many Of
fees allotted to them in the general distri-
button, and insist that G.. A. Hitchcock,
editor of the Omaha World-Herald, a

Popullst, and will naturally favor MEM
Der of his own party unless political con-
siderations outweigh personal preferences.
Col. Bryan, who should be on hand with

RELIEF roR cARBoNApo.

The survivors OF Saturdays explosion at
Carbonate require the tenderest medical
care, and the widows and orphans OF the
men who persisted in the pit are
entitled to all the benefcent acts and
assistance that well-directed sympa-
thy can render them. The deplor-
able circumstances which have clouded
their lives make them the objects of uni
versal pity, and mark them as the proper
recipients of all that prosperous and gem
erous people can do to alleviate suffering
and distress; for the widows and orphans,
through dire calamity, have lost their pro-
tectors and their breadwinners, and they
are entitled to the aid and comfort of
Washingtons masnanimous people.
A well-known citizen Of Seattle has do
mated $50 to relief fund. and the Post
Intelligencer will make like donation; and
the lists are open for all others who may
wish to assist In this liberal undertaking.
Subscriptions will be received at the Post
Intelligencer business ofiice to the Fund
for the relief Of the Carbonate miners" 1t
is understood that similar funds will be
raised in other cities.
In line with popular sentiment. the
Post-Intellisencer suggests that the man.
agement OF these donations be placed In the
hands Of the Red Cross That society has
been organised to meet the depiorable ext
gencies of just such case as this, and 1t
is entirely fit and proper that the noble
women engaged in the unselfish mission
of alleviating want and distress wherever
found should be intrusted with; this I'm
portant undertaking. They are organized
for the work: they know how to handle the
fund, and the people will raise the money
for them.

This is an indication OF the spirit of the
Republicans. 1t is the intention to push
the measure through the house as speedi-

the senate before the holidays. The
senate will take more time over the
bill, but the sentiment among the Repub-
