pany, near Fairfield, Rockbridge county

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1893
All spnrring for Wind.

The South African situation today has
much the appearance OF a crazy quile'
There seems to be some reason for beliey-
ing that Holland is using diplomacy al
London in behalf of the Beers, and as a
little foreign office filtration with friend
ly and not too energetic an interVenor
would tend TO consume time, We have no
doubt that Lord Salisbury is listening to
the Dutch enyoy's plea for peace in the
most courteous and amiable spirit Dr.
Leyd, the Transvaal diplomatic agent IN
Europe. is working hard TO induce another
government, probably Germany, to inter
fere and these several movements on the
international chess board are supported,
after fashion, from Pretoria, in a report
which may be inspired for purpose, that
President Kruger may prorogue his legis-
lature. which is warlike, and conduct ne
gotiations on his own account. IL the old
gentleman is as powerful as he was two
years ago. when he suspended the Boer su-
preme court, he is capable of acting in the
manner indicated, should such course
suit his views and interests.
On the surface of things it looks as If
Mr.. Chamberlain was in fair shape to Sc
cure the three weeks delay SO urgently
needed to bring the imperial forces in
South Africa up TO an effective standard
But We must not forget that his hand
might be forced at any moment. The re-
ported despatch of a Boer infantry force
to support the artillery already near
Laing's Neck may or may not portend
sudden outbreak of hostilities. II Kruger
intends to fight at all, it probably does.
II, on the other hand, he lends himself TO
the delay so necessary to his antagonist,
he must do so for one of two reasons.
Either because he believes that foreign in
teryention will prevent England from ex-
acting the full measure of the Miner de-
mands and from invading the South Afri-
can Republic; or, because he expects to
be compelled ultimately to submit to the
British terms, and wants to do SO only in
the face of such overwhelming force IS
will excuse his action in the eyes of his
people.
On the latter hypothesis he would natu-
rally keep up a strong show of resistance
and go to the very verge of war, in order
TO encourage as large an increase OF the
British force as possible. Personally Dom
Paul, no doubt, would like to avoid the
losses which a struggle with England would
entail upon him. A man worth twenty
five million dollars is apt to b. conservative.
But he has his fierce Dutch frontiersmen to
count with. They have little to lose and
are pulled up with the belief that they are
able to hold their country against the world
and drive the British out of their end of the
continent. Massing volunteer soldiers of
this kind close to the border of Natal is
very liable TO lead to eyentualities which
the authorities at Pretoria might find it
impossible TO control.
AS the Colonial Secretary said a few days
ago, 1.-THE issues of war or peace are in the
hands of Kruger" If it is to be war, the
explosion will come before England is
ready for it. If it is not to be war, the old
Boer leader is riding for a fall with Won
derful cunning.

A weird tale wags itself thitherward

A weird tale wags itself thitherward
from Kentucky! 1t is said that certain
prominent Democrats" intend to disinter
the late ]. G. Carlisle and have him do the
political cake walk with W. J. Bryan when
the latter undertakes ii in the State for
Candidate Goebel. The idea is 20 have Car
Isle follow Bryan's speeches with his story
that Goebel was a bitter and remorseless
goldbug in 1896. There is something alto
gether fiendish in the proposition. Cannot
the Kentucky dictionaries find live men
enough to worry? Why do they seek to
desecrate old political graves?

east of Cape Race, Newfoundland,
the abandoned Norwegian bark
Quarta, from Hayre for Annapo

half full of water. Her iron mainmaSt
was broken, and the upper part, in falling,
had stove a hole through the main deck.
There was a small spar aft, from which
the Norwegian flag was flying. union down
The bark evidently had been abandoned
hastily, as the clothing and dunnage of the
crew were strewn about the deck. The
Quarta measured 400 tons, and was COM
manded by Captain Erison- She sailed
from Havre on August II in ballast to ge;
cargo at Annapolis. She was doubtless
knocked out by the West Indian hurricane
met by the Cunarder Lucania on Wednes-
day.
The Standard also passed a Johnson
Line steamer, bound east from Boston,
with a heavy list to port, due probably to
the great blow.

Put Money in the Bank.

Within the last two or three
weeks tue newspapers have chrOui-
cled several pathetic Instances where
IT oney, des.:ned for tue payment
Of some Obligation, has been con-

one instance it was 81 600, accumu-
la.ed for a final payment on farm.
In smother instance. it was el5, 900

Why do people persist in boarding
paper money and keeping it about
the house where rats can gnaw it
and where thieves can break in and
steal it, and where it is subject to
ravages Of the fire aend?
Nowadays there is scarcely com
munity SO sparsely settled as not 20

there is within easy distance q sub
stantial banking institution 1t is
criminal csrelessness to keep large
sums of money about the house. It
is true a bank fails once in . while,
and depositors lose part or all OF
their money, but these eases are
exceptionally rare. 1t is safe to
say that not one dollar 10 lost
through bank failures, w6e-e 500
