Chief Deputy Straus stated that a
man named O'Brien, from La Grange,
had called at the county Jail for the
purpose of seeing Whitaker. O'Brien
said that man answering Whitaker's
description had stopped at his home In
La Grange over two weeks ago to get
a drink of water.
"After drinking several glasses of
water" said OBrien, ''the stranger be-

4 London, Feb. 2.--Men who were on
the fighting line at Spion kop describe
the fierceness Of the Boer attack and
the terrific havoc wrought by the enc
my's shells. When the Beers were
first seen they were 1000 yards away.
They then descended into hollow.
When next it was possible to see them
they were only seventy yards off, and
the foremost British line sought shell
ter behind the rocks.
At this stage the first BOer shell
burst and the order was given for one
regiment to retire to the edge Of the
kopje, where there was more cover
The order was misconstrued by some
Of the foremost trenches, who fell
back. The Beers seized this opportun-
ity and rushed at the trenches, captur-
ing few men. This mistake was
soon observed; bayonet charge fol-
lowed and the Beers fed. Two Of the
Boer Maxim Nordfelds commenced to
drop shells among the British, doing
terrible damage. The Boer rifiemen.

to creep close up on two occasions,
only to be driven back with loss. As
they retreated they appealed to the
British to surrender. The response
was volley. The formation of the
hilltop Is like table, mile long and
a quarter of mile broad. The short

fire. The firing party which respond
ed to the Boer attack was necessarily

THE PEOPLE AND THE
CONSTITUTION.

Shall the Constitution be changed by
the vote of the people, or shall 1t be
changed by clique of persons with
special interests to serve? That's the
question.
And 1t matters not whether the con-
vention be made up OF the most honest
representatives and conservative peo-
pie (Which is unlikely in the nature of
politics.. the principle is exactly the
same (unalterable and Interchangeable,
the people should have the last say
on it.
Now. whose Constitution is It? Is 1t
the grand Constitution OF the mighty
host of noblemen enrolled under the
standard of Virginia's flag" of which
the stump-speakers tell us in cam
paign times. or is it the Constitution OF
a favored few who will prevail in a
convention?
DO not be deceived. The soft. vel
vety mantle of grandeur; the plaintve
pleading OF the interested parties. are
hiding the "cloven foot" underneath.
The 'nigger in the wood pile" is not
the offensive vote at the polls; but it
is an interest Especial intcresO desired
TO be conserved in a Constitution-an
unalterable Constitution.
Why do these mighty advocates re-
fuse to allow the people chance :?
What is it they wish to hide? Why
not say they are afraid to submit Ii
to the people?
Now. why have our gifted friends
found it undesirable to let the people
vote ON that glorious document, over
which youthful orators will. in the flu
ture, cxpend untold breath. and which
in all seriousness must control the des-
tiny of the state?
We are simply adhering to our old
principle and doctrine give the people
chance. We are going to fight 1t out
on this line. We do not believe tina t
any one man ever lived capable OF do
ing as well, for the country's good, as
the country Itself. If such conceited

osJ
The extent to which the American
people have allowed themselves to be
bled and imposed upon by the telephone
companies Is fairly illustrated by ref
erence to the telephone systems OF
Sweden and Norway. According to an
article in the April number OF the
Forum, by Hon. S. j. Barrows, under
the head of Some Things We May
Learn from Europe" the charge for a
telephone in Stockholm is less than $40
a year. There is about one telephone in
use FOR each 100 persons.
In Christiania there are FREQUENT
public telephone stations. where one
may talk for five minutes for 9 cents.
Even at these modest figures the SER
vice Is said to have enriched the stock
holders.
In this country rates for exchange
service vary from s25 to $3.50 per an
mum. There is no evidence that in any
city the service is better than that rem
dered in Stockholm for $40. There is no
evidence that the legitimate expenses
of maintaining the service are much
higher here than there. Furthermore.
it cannot be claimed that the telephone
service in Stockholm can be maintained
at the lower rate because OF more
general use OF the instruments. The
number in use in the Twin Cities. for
nstance. shows a. much higher ratio
than one instrument to each two of
population.

INDEPENDENCE IN POLITICS.
Baltimore Amcrican.)

There is room in this country for but
two political parties of magnitude One
or the other Of these will win in every
campaign. If. therefore. our politics
are in need of reformation, and If the
by which the reform is to be accom-
plished. there is but one way by which
it can be successfully applied. If the
men who participate in independent
movements would go into practical pol
itcs with the same energy, enthusiasm
and disregard of the cost that they
show in pursuing phantom theories
their influence would soon be manifest
AS ward and precinct executives and
workers they would, by their noble
ideas and pure Observation-Disclosures. soon
rcGcneratc politics and infusc a higher
moral tone into the management of
parties. II evil exists in our political
system. 1t rises from the roots, dis
coverable only in the wards and pre-
cincts. Any attempt at reformation
must therefore, so to the roots, and
the reformers must begin work at the
bottom before they can hope to innu-
ence the top. In regarding practical
politics as communicating and degrad-
ing the Independents place themselves
ont of harmony with the principles of
democratic government. Let them ap-
ply their influence at the root. and
keep on working until 1t permeates the
entire political system. Then will their
reform be n success, and then will the
