Against the Ring.

It has been common for a good many
fuslonists In this state to say that they
are opposed to ring rule and will do all
in their power to prevent the building
up Of any political machine In this state.
They say they object to party cliques
that intrench themselves In power and
rule with no consideration for the
wishes OF the people: and any attempt
to organize any inner circle OF this
character which would be followed by
the offensive reign OF TIE boss is some
thing that ought TO be prevented at all
hazards and at once.
In discussing the Objectionable fea-
lures Of ring rule these fusionists have
been accustomed TO cite the Republican
party as an organization that has coun-
tenancsd the arrogance OF the machine
Perhaps while they have the subject un-
der consideration and are insisting that
reforms be instituted II might be well
for them to look the ground over care
fully In order to determine where the
work should begin.
An investigation will soon convince
them that the ring most to be feared by
the people Of this state is the one which
first took form In 1897. when George
Turner and John r. Rogers entered into
an offensive and defensive alliance,

will be the political prerogatives It de-
mands from the people.
For three years the Rogers appointees
have been Industrious In behalf OF the
new machine. The state board OF audit
and control has practically been little
better than travelling agency for the
reform ring. Those who have receiv-
ed place from the governor are drawing
pay from the state and acting as ennis
saries for the new bosses. The ma

Some Bryanite Inconsistencies.

Mr.. Bryan does not permit little

way of his phrase manufacturing. When
he can make felicitous turn OF words
to meet serious argument. he prompt

standing that his own utterance there

he has previously assumed. Thus. for
example he meets the full dinner pair

position that the enhanced cost Of liv-

OF course every one knows that this Is
not so, 1t does not require Mr.. Bryan

or his opponents, to tell any working
man in this country how his condition
compares today with what II was four
years ago. Every one Of them. with few
and unimportant exceptions. knows that

Mr. Bryan or any one else could possi-

LORD KITCHENER
Has in Some Respects
Been Successful
IN CAPE COLONY
A New Order Of KnIghthood
Established

London, Dec. 2S.-The latest de-
spatches from South Africa show that
Lord Kitchener has succeeded in hold
ing the invading Beers in check. But
he has not yet expelled them from
Cape Colony and small commandos
cantinne to display astonishing daring
and activity over an immensely wide
field.
1t is questionable whether his proc
lamation will have much effect until
Gen. DeWet has been captured. The
Beers are likely to regard it as sign
of weakness and to have a wholesome
dread Of DeWet's vengeance II they
surrender.
The proclamation is approved by
the party at home that favors concili-
atorY terms to the Beers as step In
the right direction.
Queen Victoria, it is said, has ap-
proved the proposal to institute a new
order of knighthood to reward officers
who have served in South Africa. The
order will probably be called the Star
of Africa.
A despatch from Vrysburg dated
Dec. 20, says the Beers in considerable
numbers were then making an unex-
pected movement westward. They
had $50 wagons. The despatch sug-
gests that they were trekking to Dam
araland, although the Beers themsel-
yes denied such an intention.

Previous exhibits have been very
good indeed, but this year the aggre-
gate number of birds shown is larger
than ever before. The birds score
higher than usual SO the manage
ment feels that it is successful in It's
chief aim, the encouragement of the
breeding of choice tull blooded fowls.
The exhibit of dogs is new depar-
ture, but the success achieved this
year practically insures the continu.
ance Of this feature. Many kinds are
shown bus it is confidently expected
that there will be a greater represen-
tation OF the different breeds next
year.
Besides the common fowls there are
pens OF turkeys and ducks, pigeons,
canartes, aud gray squirrels Several
patent machines are on exhibition
which are of special interest to poul-
try fanciers.
Tonight is the closing Of the exhi-
bilion and they expect many visitors.
A full list of the prizes will be pub
lished tomorrow.
