TEACHERS in the public schools OF
Chicago whose request for an increase
of salary was refused because of lack
of money, have begun a campaign
aimed at tax lodging corporations.
The movement is backed by the
Teachers Federation. In this years
levy most OF the big corporations
escaped assessment on their capital
stock. These corpora tions included
the Pullman and Edison companies,
the Gas Trust, and street railroad
companies. Last year there was ap-
parently no attempt made to tax the
capital stock of the quasi-public cor
poratiOns, but this year, If the state

Vacant Lot Cultivation association OF
that city is supplying those who are
willing to raise their own vegetables
with plot of ground, seed, fertilizer,
ploughing and superintendence. In
this way nearly 300 families last year
cultivated and raised produce valued
at S12, 900. But the usefulness of til G

tenance to the needy did not stop
there. 1t changed foul-smelling and
disease-breeding repositories of filth

picturesque, truck patches. Thus it is
that the association brings food, health
and pleasure to the deserving.

AN IMMENSE ARMY.

The HERALD has been asked ho1
many men Great Britain has in tn
field in South Africa. Mr.. Wyndhan
stated in the house of commons last
week that in fortnight there would b.
$50, 900 British regulars in South
Africa, 1000 Canadians and Australia
ans and 26, 600 South African volun-
teers. OF this total of 5000 troops.
all are now there, with the exception
of about II, 600 that are afioat. Beyond
comparison this is the largest force
Great Britain has ever put into the
field. At the end of the Crimean war
she had got together $4,000 men.
Wellington at Waterloo had $4,000.
Mr.. Wyndham's speech was the
strongest defense the government put
forward as to what has been done and
is being done. The figures astonished
the country and the world. Roughly
speaking, only $4,000 men are at the
front. Ten thousand others have been
lost and 10000 are shut up at Lady
smith. Excluding these, there are
10000 troops who have not yet been in
the colonial contingents.
Why so many electives have not yet
been engaged is explained by the lack
of land transportation and organization
of supplies, to which Lord Roberts Is
devOting his experience and Lord
Kitchener his genius for details.
1t seems as though the weight of
these masses must destroy the equilib-
rum which now holds the British
forces stationary wherever they are
in contact with the Boer army. Now
that the troops in the field have with
stood the shock of their reverses, the
HERALD cannot see how there can be
but one ending to the war, and that
the complete conquest and overthrow
of the Beers. 1t will require large
army, hard fighting and patience, but
in the end England must win.
In the meantime there Is absolute
unanimity of sentiment in England.
Not voice is raised in opposition to
the measures considered necessary for
the defense of the empire and for
bringing the campaign to q successful
conclusion. Whatever disagreements
may divide the people at other times,
the reverses suffered at the hands of q
supposedly weak foe have solidified the
nation and called forth fervent pro-
misses OF loyal support from opponents
IS well as adherents of the ministry.

trade aud transportation Is having
difficulty in getting its members to
subscribe for the annual dinner ap-
pointed for this month, and is consider
ing the advisabi of abandoning the
feast altogether, although half a dozen
United States senators have accepted
invitations to be present. Yet the
board OF trade has large and infiuen-
tial membership, and is noted for the
many things it has accomplished for
the commerce Of the city. The fact is
that the membe do not want TO go
to any more public dinners this whit
Early in November the public-din-
ner season begins and by the latter
part of January, most New Workers
have become thoroughly weary of such
entertainments. The chamber of COM
MERGE of that city has the good sense
to hold its annual banquet in Novem-
Der, when Its members have not be-
come stated with dining out. More
over, the chamber has started in to
reform its dinners, to shorten the
speeches and reduce the number of
them, SO as to permit the members to
get home before midnight.
It has been suggested tn at public
dinner would be an attraction which
would bind the business men of Ell
Paso more closely to the chamber Of
commerce, but in the light of the above
facts it appears that public dinners are
losing their attractions for busy men.

sEMLIN'S DEFEAT.

The long expected defeat of the Semlin government in British Columbia. came to pass on the evening Of February zI. The government. realizing that it could not hose to pull througi the session of parlia- ment with its forceS intact, decided that the teS, of strength should occur on the rs- distribution bin which the government proposed. The measure Is what Amerl- cans would call an apportionment bill, be- Ing a reappOrtionment Of the members of parliament. All Ither legislation was made to give way Co this one bill.
 The government had indulged the hope ,ha, Joe Martin, the principal deSerter from tS forces. would support the rediStribu> lion bill, as it WIS drawn on lines suggest cd hy him when In the Sabinst. but the hope was in vain. The former attorney general was too anxious to fulfill the threat he made when he was thrust out of the cabinet 10 encompass the defeat of the government to De over particular as to the issue involved when his former party as soeiates went down. Martin. Higgins and Prentice, lll formerly members Of the ads mlnisterltiOn partv, voted with the opposl' ton, and the bill was defeated by one vote.
 lt was not known when the Cottage City left Victoria whether the defeated administration would ask for dissolution of parliament and demand another election. or whether there would be formed a new coalition. In the latter case the lieutenant governor would be asked to call on a new leader Co be designated by the coalition 10 name a cabinet. and the session of parlia- ment would be continued. lf an election shall be demanded and granted, parliament would not meet again In less than sixty days, and Its meeting might be prolonged for six or seven months.
 This situation in British Columbia IS interesting to Americans and particularly to AllSklns, chiefly because { it> bearing on the alien exclusion a'.

rAvoRs sELF-GovERNMENT.

Delegate Prices experience at Wash ington has convinced him that Alaska will no, get laws satisfactory to her people until they are made by an Alaskan legisla- ture. He has found at the national capital that congressman have their own ideas as Co the legislation that Is needed by this growing portion Ot the national domain.
 This Is a condition that was toreSeen by the DAILY ALASKAN. When the Juneau convention vas in session the DAILY ALASKAN pointed out the futility of att tempting to secure the adoption of leglSla- ton suitable to local eondi,o.s bv large and cumbersome congressional machinery four thousand miles away which at best would hay. but little time to devote to itS consideration. This paper maintained that the inst duty of that convention was 10 formulate an org1nic act creating an Al askan territory similar to those creating the other territories. and that we rest our eoSe on the demand for itS a!op,ion.
 No territory was ever organized oy con EreSS that made a stronger showing than could be made by the people of Alaska at the preSen, time. The conditions obtain ing in the southern portion of this district are peculiar to itself. lt follows that 10 meet their requirements legislation can only be lOgitll and effective when made by those familiar with the conditions. This fact was recognized by the Skagway chamber of commerce when it recommend st a convention of the people of the dis trict. Our population. our development, our resources and taxable wealth all war rant our right to demand that congress grant Sueh a request when properly made, So strong could our case be made that con greSS would not dare to refuse.
 Hal theie been unity ot purpose % the part of sll AlaskanS it Is possible that all the recommendations of the Juneau con- vention would have received the Slneiion of congress. but Such really could not bc expected no mater how strongly patriotism recommended such course. That thoss with selfish ends to serve should make their appearance at Washington Is in ac Cofilnte with human nature. and that the' should succeed in teceivlng eongreSSmer 'SiaAdvah fsPaJ' '9aesnSnr tnirSnc Prize has properly solved the Alaska question, All efforts should be continued to get as much as we eln at the hands of eongreS: during itS present session, and betoFe it eonyeneS again a convention of SOuthN ern AllSl<ans should be held and an o. ganic aot presented for submission Co con grrSS.
