THE BOERs HAVE FIRST INNING.

1t is quite Improbable to discuss the pro
gress OF the campaign in South Africa from
day to day, for the reason that it is develop
ing slowly, at great distances, and the de-
tached engagements that are reported can
not be in any sense decisive, one way or the
other. Those who have been able TO take
a disinterested view of the war and its con
ditions have never entertained doubt that
upon the side Of the Beers. On the con-
trary, they have believed that the British
forces in Natal and about Kimberly would
be most fortunate If they could maintain
themselves without overwhelming loss until
large reinlorcements could be brought to
them.
They have been able 10 do, with just how
much of loss, or how much of damage TO the
enemy, it is not easy to learn from the CEN
sored dispatches, and both from Durham, on
the line toward Ladysmith, and upon the
west across the Orange view, affective bodies
OF British troops are now advancing TO the
relief OF those who were isolated when wal
was suddenly begun and the Beers poured
their well armed forces across the frontier.
The simultaneous appearance OF the bur.
ghers in apparent force at 30 many points,
has been the main cause of British uneasi-
ness. 1t seems to indicate larger army
than entered into the early calculations,
Even in this respect, the panic stricken de.
spondency OF London is scarcely justified.
The Beers are roaming over familiar ground
and can easily make a widely scattered
demonstration, striking at the British rear
and destroying railways and bridges, with
forces that would not make up great army
were they all united.
To those who have recognized these diff
ficulties from the first, the thoughtiess eager
ness OF the London crowd was pathetic and
the reaction TO the present dependency is
not more reasonable. A war like this is
not walkover. II means long struggle,
in which hard blows are given and received.
Whether any particular engagement was
victory OF defeat for either side, is OF very
little importance at this stage OF the cam.
paign. The Beers are having their innings
and are giving agood account of themselves.
When they line up 10 withstand an invad
ing army, then their military strength will
be put To the actual test. The time has not
yet come for decisive battle, though it is
apparently drawing near.

THE COLLEGE BOY.

In fashionable New Jersey College the
other day boy undergoing the gentle mi
tiating process, known as hazing, after hav.
ing been extricated from the bottom OF
pile of other boys who had playfully jumped
en- masse on top of him, was found to be
dead
While it is natural for "boys to be boys"
is il necessary for boys to be savagesH
The American college youth is all right
In his way, aud his way would be all right,
too, fit were better illumined by the lights of
civilized usage, responsibility and proper
discipline. But the A merican college boy,
although individually product of Amer.
lean institutions TO be proud OF, collectively
seems nothing short Of a wild Indian. His
prediction for rough sports is characters.
tic and doubtless is necessary to work off
the surplus of aboriginal steam in his sys-
TEN. Ii is a question, however, with which
college faculties have wrsstled from time
out and how to keep II within civilized
bounds.
Big jim Jeffries, the champion heavy
weight pugilist OF the world, the other day
sat and locked with awe at the murderous,
savage brutality Of couple Of teams Of col.
lege foot ball players on the gridIron. Mr..
Jeffries, himself, is not the gentlest person
in the world. He is better physical speci.
men than any of the gladiators Of old, and
his fists will stand comparison with the
hind hools oil an army mule. Jeffres said
they could count him out" Of any such
break bone sport as that, and he marveled
that delicate and patricIan ladies, who would

How long this happy condition Of affairs
can be maintained is conjectural, of course,
but sufficient for the day Is the good or evil
thereof, and it may be said that unless all
signs fail the closing year of the century
will prove as profitable and as prosperous
as the present one, aud that is saying a great
deal, for 1899 has already broken all records
in business lines, and manifestly the end is
not yet. Arrangements have been made
for greater outputs, larger crops, further in.
Vestments of capltal and extra efforts next
year, and 1t must be that the volume Of

END OF THE CENTURY

Scientists viii have their way this time,
and will close the century December 31st,
1900, when the cycle In the worlds history
will close officially. The Paris Exposition
that closes the hundred years will show
progress in art, industry, civilization and
human advancement unexampled In all the
record of the world. And first Of all stands
our own country, which we all supposed
had reached the zenith Of It's power and
glory, when at stroke It became possessed
Of other territories and took its place among
he great world powers.

FOR FREE TIN.

A dispatch from Cumberland reports Con.
gresham Pearre, stalwart Republican, as
intending TO introduce bill in Congress to
place tin on the free list. This he proposes
to do in retaliation for the closing of the tin
plate mill at Cumberland by the Tin Mill
Trust and throwing two hundred and fifty
persons out of employment. The trust OBJ
tanned control of the Cumberland mill some
months ago, operated II a short time and then
shut down. The very object Of the trust was
to get control of the mills of the country,
limit the supply oil tinplate and raise prices
to suit their greed. The Republican party
placed tax on imported tin for the avowed
purpose of building up the tin industry in
this country and to protect the American
workman from competitor with the pauper
labor of Europe. The result was the estab.
lishment OF tinplate mills in various parts of
the country and the employment OF many
workmen. The profits were not sufficient to
meet the demands OF capital, and trust was
oganized to combine the mills, operate some
and close up others, 80 that the stock could
be limited and the price raised. The con-
dition OF the workmen thrown out of en-
ployment was matter of no importance to
the trust-large profits concerned them
only.
The people of Cumberland and Alegany
county, in the absorption OF the Cumberland
mill by the trust and the subsequent closing
OF the mill and throwing two hundred and
fifty persons out of employment, have prac.
teal illustration of the workings OF protec.
tive tariff and the blessings OF trusts, the ma
tural result of protection, And the sentiment
of the community must be very pronounced
against the action of the trust, otherwise
Congressman Pearre would not have de
clared his purpose to antagonize the chief
principle of the Republican party and ex-
pressed an intention to introduce a bill to
place tinplate on the free list With the tax
removed from imported tin, the trust will
have TO lower It's prices In order to prevent
the importation Of foreign tin, and to supply
the market at fair profits 1t may be neces
sary to put all the mills in operation
