AS STOUT AS A ROCK
Beers Withstand the Fier &c Assaults
of the British Troops.
LATTER's ADVANCE MAY BE BLOCKED
Relief of nadysmith is Delayed Owing
to circumstances Over Which
General Butler Has No
Control.

London, Jan. 22.-Nothing has been
received thus far to indicate that any
conclusive result has been reached BY
the British forces in the region of the
Upper Tugela, and the lack of infor-
nation regarding what men and am
munitions the Beers have in reserve
prevents accurate determination OF
the measure of real success along
the two days hard fighting. All
that can be said is that the British
seem to be doggedly advancing in the
face of an equally stubborn resistance.
AT the close of Sundays fighting the
Republicans had merely evacuated
their first line of defense to take up
another semi-circular position short
distance in the rear, recalling the OLD
burgher ruse by which the Beers have
previously managed to entice the Brit
ish into fatal traps.
Dispatches from elsewhere in South
Africa give trivial details of minor
happenings, and do not illuminate the
situation. The widow of General
wauchope, in an open letter, holly de-
MES the stories that the general in any
way criticised General Methuen.
Though there is considerable anxiety
as to the immediate result OF General
Buffers dash at Ladysmith, which
later developments indicate were I'M
dertaken independent of Field Mar
shall Roberts, the war Office has now
come to the conclusion that the relief
of Ladysmith is only matter of
short time. According to the war oftice
officials ideas, dash to the relief OF
Kimberley will quickly follow the re-
lief of Ladysmith, and then, without
doubt n long spell OF organization, aud
perhaps three or four months will
elapse before the column or columns
will have their transportation in a flt
shape to advance with the certainty
of meeting with no serious reverses.
Dispatches from Mafeking, dated
Jan. 10, assert that the Beers keep up
a continuous bombardment of the
town. The garrison officers believe
they can hold out for three months.
General Butler sent two dispatches
to the war office on Sunday. The first
dealt with the fighting on Sunday,
General Warrens column being on
gagged with the left wing of the en-
trenched Beers all day long Tho
British made no substantial progress
toward Ladysmith. The second dis
patch places the English list of casual
ties as result OF Saturdays fighting
at 300 wounded. Fatalities omitted.

In his Springfield speech Soma
tor Cullom seems to hold that COM
petition in business is thing of

centrate capital and intelligence.
This is national and rational, and
therefore inevitable. "The trust is

is dispensed with. What shall be

surplus flesh and blood?-St. Louis

Where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also, is recalled
by bit of news considered to be
worth telegraphing, that Mr..
Adolph Busch, the millionaire
Democratic brewer of ST. Louis,
has returned from Washington a
decided advocate and convert to
Philippine imperialism, This is
accounted for by the growing beer
trade with Manila. In the first
eleven months of 1897 we exported
473, 1902 dozens of beer, while in the
corresponding months of 1899 the
exports had run mp to 1,412,Ol4
dozens of bottles. The value of
beer exports in 1897 was SCAT, 1888
and in 1899 it was $2,O18,lS9.
When the:Americans occupied Ma
Mia there were only two liquor sa-
looms reported as existing in the
oity. The last report showed the
number had increased under the
processes of benevolent assimila-
ton" to 43O. The Manila papers
are a curious production in one re-
spect, as greater part of their
space is taken up with the adver-
tisements of rival American brew
ers. The Anheuser- Busch conver=
sion to imperialism is not difficult
to fathom.

tits plain that thegold Legislation
contemplated by the Republican
Congress is intended to intrench
the money power and to make the
banks the absolute dictators in
commercial affairs. The bill is in
iquitous in it's class favoritism, and
will result in the enslavement of
the masses who will be forced to
submit absolutely to the authority
given by it to the banks in regard
to financial affairs. 1t is eminently
unjust because it is retroactive and
abrogates contrast made by the
Government to the effect that the
bonds are payable in "coin." 1t
substitutes gold" for the word
"coin," and is one of the boldest
acts of reputation ever undertaken
by any government. 1t is simply
a measure to make the rich bankers
richer, and has in it no element of
consideration for the good of the
masses However, if the Republi-
can Co ngress can break the law
which makes bonds payable in
"coin," what is to prevent Demo-
cratic Congress from abrogating
the Ubiquitous measure which is
about to be passed by the willing
tools of the money power2 1t is
absurd to say that law can be
made impregnable by breaking a
law already on the statute books.
Democratic statesmen should not
admit such self-evident contra
diction. Democrats should not
lose heart because Republicans are
smashing precedents. It's poor
rule that won't work both ways,
and the time will come, and that
soon, when the Democrats will be
able to do some effectual smashing
on their own account.

Chairman Hanna is prompt in
collecting the contribution to the
Republican campaign fund prom
ised by Philadelphia as the price
of having tho convention in that
city. The opening of the canvass
is yet six months distance, but
Hanna does not mean to lose by
reason of failing to look far enough
ahead. 1t is not to be supposed
that he expects the came difficulty
in working the convention that he
experienced in 1896 The nomina-
ton of Mckinley came high, and
it took long months of work and a
considerable draught upon the
campaign chest to turn the party
from it's choice of Reed to accept
the choice of the Ohio syndicate.
But Reed is out of the way this
time and the convention will be
easy. Why. then, does Chairman
Hanna want SO much money at
this early date? In his humorous
way he says it is for educational
purposes. He wants to send out
orators and agents and campaign
literature to counteract the intiu-
ence of Democratic agitators, who
are now trying "to create strikes
and to paralyze the industries of
the country" 1t must crafty

Republican duplicity on the
money question is ever q leading
factor in conducting the campaign
for the establishing of the gold
standard. Anticipating the charge
of Inconsistency which must be
made against his party, Senator
Aldrich has the hypocrisy to claim
that Republicans are still in favor
of free coinage of silver if it can
be secured by the concurrent action
of the leading nations. This is a
contemplate subterfuge, and is the
same thing which aroused the in
dignation of honest men in the
campaign of 1896. Why cannot
the men who want gold and gold
only, say SO? Why must they
palter in double sense? Simply
because they fear the uprising of
the people. They know many Re-
publicans believe in bimetallism,
and they wish to hoodwink them
into voting tor the gold standard
and condition of affairs which no
future legislation will be able to
change. There is no honesty in
the gold advocates, They prevari-
cate glibly to gain their point.
They make promises which they
do not intend to keep, and surely
the experiences of the last three
years should prevent men of rehec-
ton from accepting such tlimsy
pretenses. Mckinley will help
along the fraud, as he did in 1896,
and the gold bill will be passed
with lying protests of feality to
bimetallism.

one has appeared who was more

evaded it as matter of political
expediency, he, with unswerying
honesty still holds the same posi-
ton as in 1896. 1t is this unswery-
