THE NEWS BRINGS RELIEF.
London is Pleased to Hear From Gen
Roberts.

LONDON, February 22-Great relief has
been caused here by the receipt of the
news from Paardeberg showing that Lord
Roberts is personally experimenting the
operations, and, though it is difficult TO
grasp the real situation. 1t is generally
thought Lord Roberts is gradually tighten
ing his grip on General Cronje's forces In
spite of the apparent failure Of Sundays
attempt to storm the Boer position, it is
evident that Genera, Cronte is not mere
ly laagered in the ordinary acaeptation CT
the term, but occupies d carefully prepared
and strongly entrenched position, previous
ly made ready with the object OF stemrnins
the prospective British invasion Of the
Free State.
After failing TO dislodge General Cron3e
and in spite of great bloodshed on both
sides Lord Roberts seems to have con-
tented himself with sheiIing the Beers Mon
day and Tuesday. He apparently contern-
plated a renewal of the assault Tuesday
afternoon. but after a coanalssance he
decided to content himself with shelIirg
the Beers. which he was still doing when
Paardeberg advices were sent off OF 6
o'clock yesterday evening.

but reinforcements of guns and men are
also reaching Lord Roberts and 1t Is not
thought that the TransvaaI and Free State
railroads will be able to transport hur-
riedly the great number of men and horses.
From the available Information received
here 1t appears that Lord Roberts COM
pletely surrounds General Cronje with ar
tillery, thus releasing the other arms, of
which, military experts asssrt. he has
plenty 10 defeat all reinfOrcements of the
Beers as they arrive in detail. The fact
that General Cronje asked for an arris-

eating that he recognized that his hone

democratic party, it behooves all demo- cratic organizations 10 see to it that every delegate 10 the national conven- ton is an unwavering democrat, dem- ocrat who was not found wanting in 1896, and who will now pledge himself to the Chicago platform and such other issues as may be forced upon the con- Yention by the trend of events towards policy dangerous to the freedom of the citizen and ruinous to the nation. The mass of democratic voters are un- swerving in their faith 10 the principles set forth in the Chicago platform, and no man must be permitted to trouble that faith. It is the voice of nearly 100000 of people, and to betray them IS to be recreant to the greatest trust ever reposed in men.
 Beware then and do not let any man deceive you by any sort of spacious ar gument, or by any charge of bossism, but let every delegate be instructed upon the principles of the party and instructed right.

BRYAN'S PROTEST.
The Republican Policy Roundly Scored by the Champion of
 Democracy.

William J. Bryan is a leader of thought. and he was the first great thinker of this country to protest against imperialism and to point out its dangers to this republic.
 It required a great deal of courage for public man to oppose the trend of war enthusiasm when it was at it's height. but armed with the courage of his convictions. Bryan spoke boldly and now the people are with him.
 Recently, in discussing the imperial istic policy of the republican admin istration, Mir. Bryan said:
 In all my speeches I devoted con- siderable time to the subject of imperi- siism. and I found that the argu- ments against colonial policy were well received.
 q am convinced that effort to en- graft such a policy upon our form of government will alienate more repub- licans than have left the republican party in any previous campaign. As the purpose of republican leaders to forcibly annex the Philippine islands becomes more apparent, the defenders of that policy become more and more bold in their repudiation of .funda- mental principles, and as the doctrine of force is more boldly avowed the dis affection among the republicans in- creases.

the speeches of Abraham Lincoln in the next campaign it will find that the gulf between Lincolnism and Ham naism is so great that the admirers of the former cannot be followers of the latter.
 "If the republicans assert that an imperial policy will pay, they will be compelled to put a pecuniary value upon the lives that will be sacrificed In the purchase of the supposed ad- vantages. If they assert that the na- ton is following Divine guidance in the prosecution Of a war of conquest they will be compelled to show the credentials of the man through whom the Divine will has been revealed.
 If they assert tEat circumstaces make it necessary to remain in the Philippine islands, they will be met with the reply that a republican ad ministration has created the circ,m- stances which are relied upon to jus tify the retention of the islands"
 Thus clearly and cogently does the splendid logic of the democratic cham pion meet and overthrow the argu- ments Of the opposition.
 Thus are the people enlightened and thus is brilliant light thrown on the dark eounsels of the republican i'm periahsts.
 This kind of argument is unanswer- able and the Mckinley forces in the east are beginning to erumble before the sustained attacks of William J. Bryan.
 Imperialism can never appeal to majority of the liberty-loving voters of this country. On this issue alone the democrats can meet and defeat their opponents, and when there are joined to it the argument against trusts and the aggressions of the money power victory at the polls next autumn will be practically assured.- Chicago Democrat.

POST THE DELEGATES
Democratic Organizations should Thoroughly Prepare Rep
 resentatives.

Since 1896, events have so shaped themselves to the detriment of the ns- ton and the American people, that no man can scan the principles laid down in the Chicago platform without being convinced that it is the true democratic doctrine in every detail, and that to change single line of it would be a stultifcation.
 It has been charged against the dem- ocratic party that it is too steadfast in its principles and that it is not party of progress. The plain answer to that is that it never has and never will pro- gress in such fashion that the auton- omy of the nation must be destroyed to permit the aggrandizement of a special class and the ruin of the people. It desires no such progress as that con- templated by the republican party; a progress towards imperialism and the destruction of the individual citizen; progress towards the establishment of a separate sovereignty lorded over by the president of the United States; progress which puts in the hands of favored class the money of the people; a progress towards industrial slavery and the apotheosis of plutoc- racy. Its progress is based upon the progress and welfare as well as happi- ness and content of the whole people, which is the only American progress.

BRIDGING BEHRING SEA.
Quantities OF Debris by the
Mighty Yukon River.

Prof. w. ]. McGee. of Washington,
declares that two slow but interesting
changes are taking place in Behring
sea. The immense quantity of debris
that is borne down the Yukon from its
sources and sides is being deposited in
the sea beyond the mouth Of that
mighty stream, and its weight causes
the bed of the sea to subside. A cor
responding rise in the earth's crust is
produced along the chain of the Aleu-
tian islands. Now, not only are the
islands themselves increasing in size
in consequence of being lifted up out
OF the water, but new islands are being
formed in the gaps between the others.
In some instances the new islands are
the result of the rise, and in others
they are the result of volcanic action.
Most of the Aleutians are of volcanic
origin, and they mark the position of
a fold in the earth's crust that is pre-
disposed to eruption. In time, Prof.
McGee says, there is likely to be nat
ural bridge from America to Asia along
this route, but he admits that nobody
, now living is going to see it.
