BRAVERY OF THE BoERs.

Many theories have been advanced in explanation of the dogged perseverance, with which the Beers have. carried on the struggle to maintain their inde- pendence, and now Professor Cesare' LombfoSo, the distinguished criminol- ogiSt. comes forward and assures the world that the one great reason why the BoefS are such stubborn fighters is because their blood is richer than that of other nations. His article on the subject appears in the current is sue of Nuova Antologia.
 According to him the BoerS of to- day have in them tie blood of four ma tions. namely. the Dutch. the French. the Scotch and the Germans. Dutch blood preponderateS. but. with it, we are told.. is intermingled the precise quantity of French, German and Scotch blood which is needed in order to procure such valiant warriors as the people Of the TranSvaal In order to obtain exact knowledge of the fact Professor Lombroso made q chemical analysis of some Boer bloou and then he compared the results which he had obtained with those obtained by Herr Kuyser. q Dutch scientist, who had been working in the same di- | has arrived is that the Boer blood is composed of 7S per cent of Dutch blood F per cent of French. l2 per cent of Scotch and 3 per cent Of Ger man. All obtainuble statistics he maintains point to tue correctness cf these figures. In conclusion he asks: 1 Such being the chemical composition | of blood the che mical composition or | their blood what is there astonishing in the fact that this mixture of the four best nations of Europe. in cil- mate which is not enervating and lh which an energetic mode or lire IS necessary. promises to form or the Roers select people. who will prove themselves the bulwark of liberty and civilization. and who will be a race su- pcrior to all those of Europe:
 l Scientists attach a great deal oT weight to Professor Lombroso's views on q matter of this kind. nevertheless this article has startled them goCd deal and for the simple reason that tie figures which it contains are. tc say the least. bewildering. The Boel blood, says the professor. is composed Of four elements. Quite possible. re- ply the scientists. but how can IS per
 cent of Dutch blood. 12 per cent of ! Eronch 12 per cent of Scotch and :! ner cent of German make 100 per cent
 of Boer blood. for do not these h@
 ures. when added together. make to- tal of 1O1? The misleading figures, ii
 is thought by some. may be due to q tynographical crror. but such does moi
 seem to be the general opinion.-lhll

Other objec- tiOnable features were pointed out by democrats but that is all that they could do. AIr Mckinley'S orders had been issued to Speaker Henderson, and of course the bill was passed.

Book of The Royal Blue for July.

The July number of the Book of
the Royal Blue which is published
regularly every month by the Balti-
more * Ohio RI, is especially in
teresting. 1t has been the custom
to devote the July number every
year to stories of the Civil War.
and the present number contains a
graphic description of the battle of
Antietam, illustrated by photographs
taken shortly after the battle, as
well as photos of more recent date.
Particularly remarkable is the pho
tograph, used as a frontispiece of
President Lincoln interviewing Cen
eral Mcclellan at Antietam, in Oct.
1902, and the Burnside Bridge.
showing an army train crossing
over It, These photograph were
loaned and published by permis-
sion of the War Department. An
accurate description is given of the
position of the Union forces i'm the
battle, in accordance with reports
Of General Mcclellan, while the
graphic description of the closing
scene at Burnside Bridge is quot ed
from a war correspondent who was
present at the time An Official map
published by the Government enables
the reader to follow the battle close
ly.
The movement OF troops to and
from the battle OF Antietam greatly
affected the lines of the Baltimore
* Ohio R.R., which were then con.
stantly in state of decentralization
from the continued fighting in its
territory.
The number also contains an i'm
teresting war romance Of Virginia.

A SHORT STORY IN FIGURES.

New York World The ordinary
annual expenditures of the govern
ment averaged in President Harri-
sons term s36I,29J3a3.
They averaged in President Cleve-
lands second term $500, 4t8,sA6
They have averaged in President
Mckinley's term S5I4,4So,2 s4,
The cost of running the Govern
ment is thus seen to have been in
creased by nearly SI54,ooo, 900 a
year ever since Mr. Mckinley was
inaugurated. And this is not ac-
counted for by the extraordinary
disbursement of the war, which are
not included in these "ordinary ex-
penditures.
The outlay for the war is a sepa-
rate matter, and it accounts for the
increase of the public debt by $500,
900, 900 since the Mckinley anaug.
uration.
The financial record of the Ad.
ministration may therefore be sum
med up in a sentence. 1t has added
nearly SIS, 900 month to the
regular running expenses of the
Government and added $40 pei
capital to the nation burden OF
debt.

BRYAN AND LIBERTY.

Capt. Patrick O'Farrall, a life
long Republican of Washington,
has written Senator Hoar asking
for copies of his great speech
against imperialism. The Washing
ton Post quotes from his letter as
follows;
al am an old-time Republican,
who fought during the late Civil
War for the principles of Washing
ton, Jefferson and Lincoln. want
your speech for the facts therein.
They show the duplicity and treach-
cry of William Mckinley, for whom
/ spend eight weeks on the stump.
Your speech shows further that the
next election will determine whether
we shall retain our liberty, or do as
Rome did, go into the imperial
business. honestly believe that in
order to preserve liberty it is es-
sential that the honest and manly
Republicans who still adhere to the
Declaration Of independence and
the constitution should use all their
efforts in the next campaign to de-
feat Mckinley and the Republican
party by supporting VIM. ]. Bryan
who, no matter how Republicans
may differ with his free silver and
tariff theories, yet can agree with
him on the greater and paramount
question of imperialism. The ques
ton is whether we shall continue as
republic or go into an empire OF
imperi alism.
"The cry in the coming campaign
should be Bryan and liberty,
against MCKINLEY and imperial
tyranny, and have every conf
dence that liberty will win"

THE SIOUX INDIAN WILL VOTE.

The Sioux Indians Of South Da-
kota, who have hitherto been wards
of the government. will be factor
in the presidential campaign this
year.
Capt. +. II. Allison. who has liv-
ed among them nearly all his life,
and is familiar with their notions
and peculiarities, will give them in
struction in their civic duties. Con-
corning his proposed work, Capt Al
lison says:-"Their notions of what
constitutes citizenship, and the re.
sponsibilities arising therefrom, are
very crude. Large numbers of them
know nothing whatever about the
significance of casting a ballot.
They do not understand that ballot
represents an opinoin. 1t is my
purpose to go out on all the reser-
vations west of the Missouri and
hold meetings wherever a dozen or
more Indians can be gathered to-
gethcr. This work will take three
or four months. shall give them
elementary lessons in civic duties
and shall try to show them what it
means for them to be citizens Of the
United States"
Two years ago the intelligent,
cultured woman of South Dakota
asked for the ballot that they might
participate in the presidential cam
paign of 1900. They had studied
Civil Government in their school
days, and had for years been study
ing Political Economy and Soci-
ology in their Suffrage Organizations
and Woman's Clubs; but the voters
OF South Dakota said: "Nay, you
shall not share the blessings of lib
erty with u.s."
Now the Sioux Indians are to be
given three months instruction,
and their votes will help to decide
the policy of the government under
which those intelligent woman must
live. Oh Consistency Oh Justicel
