THE END Is RAPIDLY NEARING.

The end Of the war in Africa seems
to be near at hand. Gen. Lord Wolesly
some months ago said il would
end by 18th May. He will hardly miss
IT a month. The indications now clear
ly look to a speedy winding up. The
Beers are represented from Pretoria as
panic-stricken, and President Kruger
is preparing for flight. His destination
is said to be Lydenburg. A dispatch
to the Baltimore Herald from Pretoria,
Of 18th inst, say that Steyn and Krug-
er are almost demented, asserting that
Roberts is fighting unfairly by not at
lacking in front, but adopting flank
movements. Johannesburg is entrench-
ed, but il is unlikely that it will be
defended.
There is fighting reported by Cen
eral Roberts on his left. One of his
wings was engaged, but his own ad-
vance is unopposed. 1t is announced
that $4,000 British soldiers Will at once
be sent to Africa. Lord Roberts will
save the mines at johannesburg. The
of war is hat it is censored" and
much is omitted. The Beers are in a
very bad condition according to British
news. 1t is reported by the c~orrespon-
dents that panic and confusion prevail
everywhere. On Saturday is the time
named for British entrance into the
capital of the Boers-Pretoria.

VARIANT VIEWS AS TO DEMO-
CRATIC POLICY.

1t has been noticeable for months that
the men who opposed Mr.. Bryan in
1896, are anxious to fix his pla form for
1900. There are man. intelligent, re-
~flecting men in every county in the
south, it may be believed, who. him
it prudent, prope and wise to rely
considerably upon the new issues that
have come to the front since Mckinley
was elected by purchase and intiryida-
ton. This does not mean that the
leading principles OF democracy in 1896
shall be ignored, set aside, repudiasA d.
Not that, but that they should be either
subordinated to some new, pressing
issues or not emphasized beyond and
above them. The Baltimore Sun, an
able gold paper. thinks Bryan can wiai
if he will ignore he past and depend
only on present new issues 1t says
that he would get the support of nine
tenths of all Independent voters who
are alarmed INC Disguised al the pol
icies. domestic and foreign, of the.
present Administrations This Is pro-
badly true. But he might, and proba-
bly, would, lose a great many voter
who stood by him in 1896. on currenc!,.
The republican Washington Post
thinks Bryan a better Judge of the POI
litical situation than any outside I'D
visers. 1t says he knows best To- to
poll the most votes, or words TO tn at
effect. Still in a multitude Of cou n
selIors there is wisdom. If the be st
minds, the most sagacIous, wisest, be st
equipped men among Mr. Bryal as
friends Should advise him and all
should agree upon a policy, it VIC uld
probably be found. safer and bet ter
than for any one mind to decide 81 Ich
grave matters and assume alone the re-
sponsibility of such widely prevail ling
decision. The Posts vtew-that OF a
political enemy-is this:
He has had a finger On the 2 ublic
pulse almost continuously for four
years. He understands the stu alton
both in and out of the enemy's cot untrY.
He knows as we'll as any other man
that 16 to 1 is, for all practical pur-
poses in 1000, as dead as asst years
daisies. He knows that all the demo-
cratic losses sustained since IS9 s have
occurred where his pet issue wa: 5 push
ed; that all democratic gains ha We been
made where the issue was prs y~ctically
ignored. Therefore, IS 1t not a reason
BILE presumption hat he believes, as do
the sagacious politicians of both Of the
great parties, that the old issue cannot
be made prominent this year, no mat
ter how prominent a place it may have
in the Kansas City platforrh?"-
That appears to be the view Of the
independent press whether democratic
or goldbug. We suppose that if The
democracy has any wise leaders now
that they will advise with Mr.. Bryan
and the direct, practical, safe and ju.
dicious thing will be done.

A FAMOUS GEORGIAN ON THE
NEGRO.

Sam Jones, the Georgia evangelist
writes often for the Atlanta Journal
which is probably the best evening pa
per in all the south. In his last arti'
Gle. of 18th inst, he says some pointed
things as to 1.-The negro losing ground
After reviewing his past in the south,
n saying things amusing and sensi-
BILE and harsh. he says this:
For the better element and better
class of negroes / have always had the
~profoundest sympathy and respect. L
have more respect today for a decent
negro than / have for a dirty white
man. : . The best negroes l know
in Georgia today were never in a school
house, and were born and raised TO
and wOmanhoOd before they
had the right to vote. There is no
place where an educated negro can
find room to work in any southern
state, unless it is as a teacher or as a
preacher, or in the changing. n
are the only three places that are open
TO an educated negrO. The negro
is to blame largely for this state of
things, for if the negro had realized
that the best white people of the south
were his best friends and he had quit
gauging with the liquor crowd and let

been much better off today. Fol the
good negroes there is room in the
hearts of the best southern people and
they will be protected by law and en-
pIoyed and maintained. 1t was really
pitiful to see the negro look on the
white primary a few days ago. he
stood around, unemployed by the court
house clique, undrenched by the jug
crowd, and he really looked like an
orphan"
That is all very near the mark sam
shoots off-hand. but he hits. He is for
getting rid of all white men who
either buy or sell a vote. He sees that
there is a natural race prejudice
against all social equality and says:
Separate seats in street cars and sep
arate coaches on trains for white and
black teach us that socially they can't
mix. and whenever there is mixing OF
the races, at the polls or in the parlor,
it's he lowest down whites and the
meanest negroes doing h mixing
Georgia is waking up after great
trouble with the bad negro element and
will move forward on a line after
awhile with other progressive southern
states. Virginia is moving and safely
so, and it will act irrespective of TIT

WHY RATHBONE WANTED GUARD
He Was Afraid of Physical Injury
From a Subordinate Whom He Had
Caused to Lose $500 TO Protect Nicely.

Havana. May 29.-Shortly after the
postal scandal was first exposed, Mr..
Rathbone. it Is said, requested General
Wood to give him a guard, as he fear
ed personal violence from Corridor
Rich, h postal emploSc who's confess
ed TO a knowledge Of many Of the
fraudulent transactions.
General Wood suggested TO Mr..
Rathbone that if a guard were always
granted that he was under arrest, and
the request was withdrawn
Today the reason for making it be-
came known. 1t seems that on TIL day
after c.. w. F. Nicely was arrested Sir.
Rich went to Mr.. Rathbone and want
ed to explain that the stealings We're
heavy. He was refused a hearing when
h nature of his communication was
known, and then he went to General
Wood and old all ne knew. Mr.. Rath-
bone denies that Mr.. Rich We: said
a word to him OIL the subject. Mr..
Rich declares that when Nicely left he
(Rich) by Mr.. Rathbone's orders, gave
Nicely an advance payment on his SAL
airy to the amount of about $3G1, ac-
cepting Neely's receipt. When the
scandal was exposed, according To Mr..
Rich's g tatement, Mr.. Rathbone old
him it would be better to withdraw the
receipt Immediately and to replace the
cash, promising to see him reimbursed
by the disbursing officer. This, sir.
Rich says he did, III Mr.. Rathbone
had ordered the disbursng officer not
to reimburse him. The result is that.
in consequence of obeying Mr.. Rath-
bone, he is without funds, and he can
see no way of obtaining redress.
Clerks in the postoffice say it was
well-known there at the time that M.
Rathbone had asked Genera Wood for
protection, as Mr.. Rich had threat
ened him physically. Genera! Wood
does not deny that Mr.. RathlIone made
the reported request.
The clerks in the Havana postoffice,
whose salaries have been reduGed, say,
almost without exception, that they
will not continue in their positions, on
the ground that no 4 cares to- remain
in Cuba on a salary no create than
he would receive in the United States.

London. May 29.-Lord Salisbury,
who was entertained at dinner this
evening by city of london Conserva-

announcement regarding the govern
ment's South African policy:

Il stated a simple historical fact.
We were accused of going to war for
lust of gold and territory. We went
to war to abate oppression of the
queens subjects in the Transvaal and
because our remonstrances were met
by an insulting ultimatum, to which,
if the queens government had submit
ted, her power, not only in South At

the greed of territory We, therefore.
bound ourselves never to n any
territory is a most ridiculous miscon-
struction. I dwell on this point be-
cause this matter of annexation is
about to become a burning question.
1--WE have made a tremendous sacri-
flee of blood and. treasure in this con-
aict and the only certainty of prevent
ing a recurrence of this fearful war is
to insure that never again shall such
vast accommodations of ornaments. oc-
cur, and that not:a shred of the former
independence of the republic shall re-
main.
1--WE are not yet at the end Of the
war, but 1 shall venture to lay it
down as a primary condition OF any
future settlement, that precautions
will he taken of such a character that
such a war will never occur again. 1t
will also be our duty to protect these
native races who have beer so sorely
afflicted, and, at the same time. so to
conduct their policy that, so far as
possible, there shall be a ~reconcilia-
ton and that every n shall be a hap

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL TICKET
LOCAL FREIGHT RATES.

Tomorrow night the shippers of the
city are invited to meet with the trans
portation committee of the chamber
of commerce for the purpose of reach
ing some decision as to what sort of ac-
ton to take in the interest of the
local jobbing houses. The meeting will
be an important one. This matter of
jobbing rates may be said to have been
the thing that made the organization
of the chamber of commerce possible.
1t will be remembered that at the first
meeting many of the signers of the
original call desired that the mem
bership of the chamber should be linn
tied TO merchants and shippers. but
after full discussion it was finally de-
cided that while the membership roll
should include more than that. still the
shippers should have the opportunity
of solving their problem to the best
advantage, and that the whole weight
of the chamber should be thrown in the
direction the committee on transporta-
ton might indicate.
The committee has gone to work in
a careful, systematic way. not hurried
Iy Several months have been spent in
gathering the necessary data on which
to base the protests that many feel
should be made TO the various rail
roads. The committee is now ready TO
report and a full attendance of ship
pers and others interested is urged at
the meeting tomorrow night.
Some members of the chamber be
lieve that FL Paso should establish a
freight bureau. in charge of a thor
oughly competent man. to take charge
of all matters in connection with
freight rates. in behalf of the FL Paso
shippers. and endeavor to arrive at
equitable adjustments with the various
roads. Some members believe that the
functions OF this bureau should include
that of a routing office. such as is in
existence in New York and other cities
whose object would be to throw the
bulk of local freight into the hands of
the roads that treated the shippers
most literally, and starve the others.
All agree that it will take close, con-
