THE END IN AFRICA

The tragedy in South Africa is pro-
ceed1ng to a close, but it is now behind
the curtain furnished by the crisis in
the Orient. It is fitting that the deplor-
able events which have appealed so
strongly to the feelings Of the American
people, and of plain people throughout
civilization, for that matter, should be
permitted to work their inevitable des-
tiny and complete the transformation in
the South African republic while the at
tention of the world is taken in another
direction
Sympathy with the Transvaal now can
have no practical effect; sympathy should
give way to hope or agitation for the
fairest possible treatment Of the people
who have fought so bravely for what
they considered their sacred rights. The
time is past for discussing the matters
originally at dispute. Never again will
they be discussed with view of in
fuencing decisions on the part of Great
Britain When war commenced, through
the initiative of President Kruger. the
last chance Of diplomacy in the direction
of preserving the integrity of The Trans
wall and the Orange Free State disap-
peared It became an appeal to the
sword, and the sword IS settling the cues
tons. In a short time the task wil-
have been completed, and as far as TIE
sword can decide right or wrong, Eng
land has been right. There is no appeal
from this decision.
but public sentiment in England and
America can bring into the final adjust
ment Of affairs a reasonable amount of
magnanimity toward the fallen. Eng
land will no doubt demand the fullest
possible reparation for the loss of life and
treasury, and this is the usual thing at
the end Of war. But PREPARATION can.

teresting to rne to learn of the curious
American custom that causes 1t. In
winter, I was informed by a gentleman
IN Duluth, the ice freezes on Lake Su-
perior to a depth of twenty or twenty
i've feet-fancy! And the harvesting OF
the ice crop, he assured me, is the chief
industry of the laboring classes. The ice
is cut into immense blocks, that are so
large it would be difficult to lift them
from the water; so, in order to preserve
them, they are weighted with shot, at
tached by ropes to buoys, and sunk to
the bottom of the lake. A most ingeni-
Gus idea, isn't it? When they are needed
they are ffoated to the surface, tewed
ashore and cut up. The whole bottom of
the lake is quite paved with ice blocks,
I am told. It's a most extraordinary
thing, but one can't help seeing that
that's why the water is so very cold. It's
really a lake of iced water, you know.
1 shall tell them at home that you Amer
leans are so fond of iced water that you
keep a whole lake of it in the states.
Curious idea, isn't it? But SO cleverly
American, you know"
And perhaps some day therell be
book printed m England which shall let
all the world know why Lake Superior

THE REAL EVIL.

1t is not necessary to PREJUDICE the re-
suit Of the trials now in progress at
Frankfort, KY, In order to distinguish
the awful significance of certain of the
testimony which has already been offered
for the prosecution. That there was a
plot to kill Gov. Goebel no one will now
think of denying. Whoever were the
authors Of that plot, whoever was the
actual murderer or whoever were the
immediate abettors of the crime, the de-
tails of it were clearly considered and
arranged in manner which bespeaks
the most shocking disregard Of human
life
The undertaking to kill human being
seems in Kentucky, at least among the
men who came down from the noun
tains to enforce their political demands
at the muzzles of their rifles, to
have been regarded as a matter Of com
monplace concern. Public sentiment seems
somehow to involve at least a negative
concurrence in the readiness of men to
adopt such means of disposing Of a trou-
blesome enemy. There does not appear
to be any particular horror aroused by
the revelations of this trial, save as they
relate to a given political situation. The
frequent occurrence Of such events as
the removal of a human being by those
who happen to be at enmity with him has
hardened private and public sense alike,
and the enormity of the murder of Gov.
Goebel will doubtless be found to have
impressed itself most strongly on the
general understanding on account of his
prominence in the public eye.
1t will not relieve the state of Kentucky
from the bloody reputation which it has
acquired merely to convict and punish
the authors and abettors of this shocking
crime. Until the spirit is crushed out
from which the crime sprung the occur

General Rathbone drew, from Aug 1.
1893, to April 80, 1900. the sum of 81 ,9O5 as
a per diem, which was unauthorized, and
that the drawing Of the same was fraud
ulent."
The bills rendered for furniture for tho
Official residence, the report says, contain
many items such as charges for trunk,
gloves, etc. Rathbone claimed that 1t was
the custom Of all countries that officials
should be clothed at the expense Of tho
public revenues
When the character Of these purchases
became known to the postmaster. general
he wrote to Director General Rathbone
as follows: Some of these bills are not
only without authority or iustifcati ton.
but are scandalous, and never should
have been passed or paid. You should
at once reimburse to the island treasury
the sums thus improperly paid"
RATHBONE'S OFFICIAL. TRIPS.
Rathbone made numerous official trips.
In April, 1899, he made a tour of inspec-
ton, accompanied by his family, and his
expenses covered the entire expense OF
his family. In May, of the same year,
he came to the United States and charged
UP as official expenses his expenses to
Cincinnati and Hamilton, o., where he
went on private business. In November,
1899, when MS family were in New York.
ne charged 1928 for eight days In New
York while waiting for a steamer He
stated that no part of this expense was
for his family. The report says:
I do not think It Is reasonable to be-
Heve that the director general expended
$3.50 day for personal hotel expenses
while in New York awaiting the sailing
of the vessel for Havana.
From the records it appears that
Rathbone had drawn two warrants to
himself in the sum of $500 each, received
the money thereon and made no account
ing whatever to the department Of posts
for the same"
NO VOUCHERS PRODUCED.
The report also calls attention to many
large expenses by Rathbone for which
no vouchers were filed. Reeves explain
ed that he passed such accounts because
they had been allowed by the director
general. The report does not credit this
statement, saying the evidence Is too
strong Of collision between Nicely, Rath-
bone and Reeves" The total amount OF
these miscellaneous expenditures were
! $3.50. part of this was probably legiti-
mate, but a large part was doubtless
! fraudulent expenditure for which Rath-
bone, Nicely and Reeves are equally re-
sponsible."
With reference to the guilt of E. P.
Thompson, the postmaster at Havana,
the reports explains that in September
1899, he issued four money orders in his
own behalf for $500 each, and deposited
in lieu of cash a due bill for 500. When
the inspection was made he took out this
due bill. deposited cash from the remit
tances, and after the inspection had been
finished withdrew the 500, and replaced
the due bill.
Thompson knew that his act was a
crime" says the report.
| The report says Neeley occupied the
most confidential relations with Rath-
bone, and was regarded as the most In
| fluentIal with him Of all the postal en-
| ployes.

Never since the day that tea was tossed
into Boston harbor has there been the
tension between America and Great
Britain that is likely to be brought about
by the failure of a surly British tar to
salute Admiral Kempf, at Taku, with
thirteen guns. The Chinese admiral re-
cetved the full quota of gunpowder, while
the American admiral was shy two guns,
and he has entered a vigorous protest
against this piece of discrimination.
Gunpowder is expensiye-but SO is tea

ness in doing out burned gunpowder to
the American admiral, who saved his own
gunpowder when the guns Of the allied
