ALL the British Empire went wild
for "a hours over the news Of the relief
of the gallant garrison at Mafeking.
The manifestations Of Joy from Aus
tralia to the north of Scotland, were
the most extravagant. This was not
because there was any great advantage
gained by the British army, for MAZE
king was an unimportant post, but be-
cause the English love good fighter,
and they went wild with Joy because
Col. Baden-Powell and his garrison OF
a few hundred British soldiers had for
over seven months withstood( the re-
peated attacks of largely superior
force of Beers, and had been relieved
and their besiegers driven off. 1t has
been most gallant defense, and it was
the recognition of this fact by the
British, who always admire pluck, that
caused the great rejoicing over the re-
lief of the gallant lite garrison. Col.
Baden-Powell has shown himself, not
only a man of great determination and
gallantry, but man of great resources,
and he will be one of the heroes of the
nation. On the other hand, this relief
of the British garrison must be very
humiliating to the Beers, for their
withdrawal shows that all the advan
tages they gained at the beginning o.
the war, have come to nOught. Of al
the places they besieged, not one was
captured.

ANOTHER ENEr1Y.

Another enemy to human digestion
has been discovered by the chemists,
and is being used by some dairymen
and creameries to preserve milk. 1t is
called formaldehyde, and a very small
particle of it will preserve milk from
souring, but it is very deleterious to
health, making the milk almost indigestss
ible. The use of this in milk furnished
babes would be very pernicious, if not
dangerous. There is a call for a law
prohibiting the use of the article in
preserving milk, but we trust dairy
men and others who have been led to
its use, not knowing its bad effect, will
discontinue it's use, without waiting
for any law forbidding the sale of such
milk. The public should look with
distrust on milk and cream that do not
have to be kept on ice to preserve
them, in warm weather. ''There is
death in the (cream) pot" when it is
preserved by the use of such articles.

THE Dayton Herald says the selec-
tion of Boss Cox as the Ohio represen-
tative on the Republican National
Committee would sacrifice decency."
1t is not on personal grounds that Cox
is most Objectionable; but because he
is a ''boss.' This means that he is to
be put there in spite of the objections
of the rank and file of the party because
he tramples the people under
his feet, and rules as an autOcrat-
and Mckinley can't do without him.
But the same is true of Hanna; and no
one who indorses the one, ought 70
kick against the other.

SENATOR Clark, of Montana, VIII

SENATOR Clark, of Montana, who
resigned his seat in the Senate, pend
ing his trial on the report of the Com
mittee, which reported that he had
obtained his election by fraud, had
little game up his sleeve that would
have beaten All s n. The Governor
of the State, who was opposed to Clark,
was absent in California. The Lieut..
Governor, who was the de facto Gov
ernor during the latter's absence, is q
friend of Clark and has appointed
Clark to fill Clark's vacancy. This
would be be smart game If the Sen
ate did not act on the report OF its Com
mittee. But If it refuses to accep
Clark's resignation and expels him, hi
can not come back on any credentiali
and be admitted.

The Supreme Court of the United

in favor of Beckham, Democratic claim
ant to the Governorship. This is not
unexpected; as on the face of affairs il
has appeared that the conspirator Goe,

State by fraud, and had prepared legal
plans to carry out his nefarious ends
1t remains, however, that the triumph
of the Goebel gang was obtained by the
overthrow of popular sovereignty.
