The Av rngr Woman.

Our country has been helped on
its upward and onward path un
speakably hy it's possession Of Il
wealth that has no superior in tie
making Of States, and that belongs
to it in greater proportion than to
any other country-und that is it's
average women.
There was no work Of which these
women wcre ashamed, or which, be-
ing necessary to others, they regarded
rs too menial for themselves; if
there were Il service to be done, tho
only question was how best to do it,
They made great Sacrifices in order
that their sons should have tho high.
est education obtainablc; thoy had a
pride and concern in their neighbors'
sons; they watched the progress Of
events with az keen attention as
thoy did tho affairs of the village.
Their hands might bo rough with
toll, their faces scanned with care,
their dress nnacquainted with fash
ion, but, nevertheless, if it had been
necessary for them to stand in the
prescnc" of royalty, they would have
done 80 unabnshed and perfectly at
home, and have given the onlookers
a notion of the inherent royalty of
worth and honor. Whatever tho
shortcomings Of thcso women may
have boon, they were all eclipsod by
| the largeness "f their virtues.
Their" is no other country that
has this proud distinction For in
other lands the woman who "doos
her own work." who is imbrOwned
aud bent by toll and wears tho hod-
den gray, is very rarely Il thinker or
Il reader, has no avenues Of learn
ing, and has no sense open on the
side Of affairs or OF the wide events
Of the larger liza. Had these women
of ours been born in the middle OF
civilization, and received the train
ing and assncation Of the environ
mont there, they would often have
become historical figures; ns it H.
they have assisted in the making ul
history, They instillod patriotism
INTO their children AZ they rocked
the cradle; they gnvo them force
energy, determinations, cndpuvor, anC
they directed al those qualities into
the right trend. 1t is always Will
their mothers instincts in their blooC
that these children have gone on un(
lnvclod mountains, reduced forests

these women antedatnd all tn,
women Of clubs and soriotics. They
had II great hunger for sympathy il
their outlook, their thought, ant
work; but they were Obliged to b'
clnb and society for themselves
They were but the average women 0

ARMY ENLISTMENTS.
NO REGIMENTS, AS SUCH, FROM ANY
STATE.
Colonel Frost Receives - Letter from the
War Drpnrtm"nt-FewV Volunteers from
South Carolina,
columbia Record.)

Tho recruiting Office for troops to
be sent to the Philippines is not yet
deed, the officers in charge have
practically nothing to do except to
fan themselves and try to koep cool.
There evidently is no desire on the
part Of South Caroliniars to engage
in war in that far off country, al
though any number Of gentlemen
have offered their services to Presi.
dent Mckinley, provided the gentle
men get official positions. But tho
privates have not written to the Presi-
dent nor to the Governor offering
their services, but there is hardly
doubt that in case Of necessity it
would he al easy matter to secure
the 70 enlistment Of a great many Of
the late First regiment. Colonel
Tillman has already offered his ser
vices to the President and ho thinks
the whole regiment would enlist.
Colonel Frost, who was adintant Of
the regiment, has received nssniaL-
COS from snch y number Of members
of the old regiment that they would
enlist under him that he felt conf
dent that he could raise at least a
battalion.
1t, however, appears that the gov
ernment does not want q b ttalion or
Il regiment from any State, but will
assign all volunteers to regiments
convenient.
In reply to Il communication from
Colonel Frost the war department
has sent the following letter:
John ID. Frost,
Assistant Adjutant and Inspector
General, State of South Carolina,
Columbia, S. G.
Sir:-The secretary of war desires
mo to acknowledge the receipt Of
your letter Of June 3Oth last in
which you inquire if, in the event Of
your ability to raise battalion Of
seasoned troops for the Philippine is
lands, the same will be accepted: and
in reply to inform you that while
the plans Of the department are not
fully completed as to the details for
raising tho additional volunteer
troops for service in those islands,
they are sufficiently advanced to en-
able him to say that no organization,
as such, will be accepted. 1t is
probable that the troops will be
raised through the ordinary recruit
ing methods of tho army and that
such officers as may be assigned to
the now regiments will be appointed
BY the President.
Very respectfully,
II. II. Hoietand,
Assistant Adjutant General.

position of Montgomery, between
the coal and iron on one hand and
the timber on the other, in the midst
Of prosperous agricultural region
tined to be the largest inland city
in the South, but such position
could not he obtained if Mont. .,omcly
should fail to Impress upon manu-
facturcrs its resources of cheap ma
tcrial, cheap power and fuel, cheap
labor, low taxes AID reasonable trans-
portation facilities. He made the
following suggestion:
"We should this year enter upon
a vigorous campaign for small man
nfacturing enterprises and convince
them Of the superior advantages
possessed by Montgomery. We
should start Il guaranteed fun of

he will lose ono months business

There are many Southern com
munities like Montgomery which
would be greatly benefited ~ adopt
ing the suggestion of Mr.. Gilbert,
that the mo .hods followed by mer-
chants in building up trade should
be followed by city in developing
its resources. Whether it is always
wise to offer Il bonus to manufac
turer to settle in community is &
disputed question, the answer fro
qnently depending upon individual
circumstances, but any plan whereby

OF trek. Sometimes they fought; some
times they trekked
When they finally moved beyond the
Vaal river, they thought they were
safe from the English. The country
was a savage infested wilderness But
somebody discovered gold and dia-
monds in the Boer territory. Then
the English moved In and began to
work the mines. The Beers are not
miners. The golden rocks Of the Rand
would remain uncrushed forever If
they had their way. They wish only
to till their farms, raise their stock
and read their Bibles.
But the glitter of gold and the CLINT
of diamonds attracted more and more
sons of Britain. Men of other coun-
tries came too. There were some Ger
mans and few Americans. The Beers
call them all utlanders, or outlanders.
1t is an expressive name.
Finally the uitlanders became more
numerous than the Beers. There are
now In the Transvaal about 245,0O0
whites. OF this number more than
100000 are English. Besides these,
there are 10000 Germans, 10000 Amer
leans and a few hundreds of almost
every other race on the globe. So the
Beers are actually In a minority in
their own land. The remainder of
their 100000 population is composed
of blacks, chiefly Kaffirs.
But this little handful of, say, co.
600 Beers has retained absolute sway
in the territory which was wrested
from the savages. For all practical
purposes only native Beers have full
rights of franchise. They make the
laws, levy the taxes and grip with
jealous hands the reins Of government.
Toward the uitlanders the Boer at
titude has been aggressive, autocratic
and possibly oppressive. 1t depends
on the point Of view. The British min
ers have had to pay handsomely for
the privilege of taking out the treas
ures which the Beers themselves neg
lected. They have been heavily taxed.
They have been bled by government
monopolies.
True, they have prospered and grown
enormously rich in spite of 1t all. But
so have the Beers, and 1t is the Eng
lish who have done the work. Year

Is contributed by uitlanders. The state
which they found nearly bankrupt has
now an accumulated surplus of some
S15000,000.
They are not mere birds of passage
fitting through the land, accommodating
wealth and returning to spend it in
their own country. The uitlander, so
far as the laws allow him, has made
lis home in the Transvaal. His chill
dren have been born there. The mag
nificent climate and the wealth of the
soil, neglected by the Boer, give every
guarantee of the permanent settlement
of generations.
1t is exactly that permanent settle
ment which the Boer statesman breads.
Nor does he dread 1t without reason.
The denial of the suffrage is not the
only grievance of the utlander. He
complains of unjust and oppressive
taxation, of the misuse of the proceeds
In corruption of the civil service. The
Boer has little reason to complain OF
either abuse The taxes by which the
treasury is filled are not levied upon
him. He consumes his own untaXed
products. He has few wants which
force him to contribute to the duties
levied on imports. So long as it is not
his money that is wasted he cares lit
tie what becomes of it.
Monopolies have been imposed upon
everything from mining machinery to
mineral waters, and after enriching
their own Golfers to the bursting point
the shrewd minded Beers have ex-
pended goodly fraction of the re-
naming revenue to arm and equip
their countrymen with the most mod
ern munitions of war in anticipation of
coming unrest.
According to the indictments, ii has
become habit with the Boer to hold
one hand on the throat of the uitlander
and the other on his family Bible.
Then the uitlanders have no voice
In educational matters. Their children
are taught only the crude Boer patois
in the public schools. They are de-
MED the freedom of the press and, in
certain ways, even freedom of speech.
for il is criminal to hold public meet
ings. They have no power in the mu-
nicipal government of johannesburg,
and when they appear for trial they 20

The president has the right to expel
any member of the community from
the republic without trial.

republic. Each entrance TO the Trans
Vaal. except from the north, is through
a mountain pass, and the Beers hold
these passes.
On the other hand, the Beers are
practically surrounded by British ter
ritory. Beyond the mountains wait the
redcoats. Germany is far away. The
only friends upon whom the Beers can
count are their brothers in the Orange
Free State, just across the Vaal. But
to the southeast, to the west and to the
north extends British Africa. The
Beers only path to the sea is blocked
by Portuguese East Africa, and the
Portuguese are under British influence
These, then, are the causes, this the
situation. Now we can watch the
making OF history.

[who commands British forces in South Africal
were finally harmonized by union in
to one republic. In 1913 the gronwet,
or fundamental law, was passed by
special volksraad elected for the pur-
pose, and it still remains as the nomi-
nal constitution of the country.
But the Beers found themselves I'M
able to cope with the savage natives,
who harassed them on every side and
threatened the security not only of the
Beers themselves, but of their British
neighbors. Yielding partly to a desire
for self protection, partly to show Of
British force, the Beers consented to
annexation with the British empire in
spite of the protest of Dom Paul Kru-
ger and other sturdy minded young
patriots.
So for awhile the Beers and British
fought the blacks side by side, bu, the
Beers fretted under the British yoke,
and under the plea that Britain had not
performed her promises they rose In
rebellion in 1880 and, after the bloody
victory of Majuba Hill, succeeded In
again establishing their independence
Subject to the suzeralnty Of her maj
esty," The treaty which contained
these words was signed at Pretoria In
August, 1881.
In 1883 the Beers sent deputation
to London to secure the abolition of
the suzeralnty. Gladstone was in pow
er then. and under his leadership a new
agreement was signed by which Eng.
land gave up her rights Of suzerainty
except in regard to treaties with for.
eign powers and the Orange Free
State. This was signed In London in
1884, and the documents are now
known as the London conventions. The
Interpretation of this agreement was
the subject Of the discussion which has
led up to the present state of affairs.
Mr.. Chamberlain, not being so kind.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1899-10-06

ly disposed as was Mr.. Gladstone, de-
claree that the alien laws Of the Trans
vaal republic constitute a breach of
the London conventions and that con-
sequently said documents are annulled,
Hence, he argues, the suzerainty is
still in force.
Possibly there is a flaw in Mr.. Cham
berlain's argument, but 1t is backed up
by British guns. This sort of reason
ing has won before, but not against
the Beers.
Although in 1884 England definitely
and specifically renowned all right to
interfere in the internal government
of the Transvaal, she now makes n
very distinct demand. She says the
volksraad must pass a law which will
make any white man eligible to full
rights of citizenship after a FIVE years

These figures throw a lurid light upon
the potential earnings of a railroad
which, like the Netherlands, charges
from to "a cents per mile.
Although there are many minor ones,
these are the main grievances of the
uitlanders. and 1t is because of these
that England demands the right to In
terfere in the internal affairs of the
government, the London conventions
Notwithstanding.
Whether the Beers are able to de-
fend their country or not is a disputed
question. On the face 1t would seem
absurd that a nation which shows
fighting force Of only 10000 could sue
cessfully resist the great armies which
England could send against II. But
those figures do not truthfully repre-
