THE END.

It is apparent that the war in
South Africa is nearing-the end.
The Beers are outnumbered more
than three to one, and further re-
sistance on their part is useless.
This they must realize by this
time, and it does not seem reason
able that they will feel disposed to
continue the hopeless struggle
much longer.
Many Americans regret that the
brave defenders Of the Transvaal
should be compelled to yield to
superior force. but the end was
foreseen by the wise from the very
beginning. At no time was there
any reasonable doubt, although
some professed to believe other
wise, as to what would be the final
outcome of the struggle between
Britton and Boer, provided, of
course, there was no outside inter-
ference.
In justice to the Beers, howev yer,
it must be said that they have
made a grand fight, considering
their numbers. They have proved
their heroism by doing all that
mortal men could do to achieve

the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, still stands by the old
Chicago platform with all of its
unreasonable and anarchistic dec
larations. If it was a bad plat
form in 1896, it is a bad platform
today. If Bryan was wrong in
supporting it then he is wrong in
supporting it now and should
again be beaten, as he will be.
Some of his apologists, however,
offer a queer excuse for rallying to
his support. It is that he will be
bereft Of power to do harm. They
say that he cannot cause Republi-
can monetary legislation to be re-
voked; that he, and his party, even
in case he should be elected, will
not have sufficient strength to
strike down the gold standard and
erect q. silver one. in it's stead.
This may be true, but one thing
they would have the power to do,
and that is this: They could and
would disturb business confidence.
and thus work serious harm, In
dustrial activity would be checked,
trade and commerce would begin
to languish and the government
credit to decline the moment that
the news of Bryan's election should
be flashed around the world.
Why? some one may ask. Be-
cause Bryan and his followers rep
resent the very worst financial
theories of the age. Because they
constitute a disturbing element in
the business and industrial world
and their political triumph would
be the signal for inaugurating
another period of financial dis
tress.
It is plainly apparent, therefore,
that the only safe thing for the
people to do is to continue the
Republican party in power, as
there is every indication they in
tend doing. The time has not yet
come, they perceive, when it would
be safe to transfer the reins of
authority from the hands of Nc
Kinley and his party to the hands
of those who promulgate and de-
fend the absurdities Of Populism
as they are represented in the per.
son of William j. Bryan. The
people have profted from past ex.
perience, have learned caution
and he who thinks they are to be
deluded of the. sophistries Of
Organism will wake up the next
morning after the election to per.
ceive his mistake. Bryan will
never be president.

OUR OWN BARBARIANs.

All Christendom has been
aroused by the terrible persecution
of missionaries and other foreign
ers in China. Seldom has any
people been accused of such hid
eous outrages against humanity as
those perpetrated by the Boxers.
And yet the people of China have
more reasonable apologies to offer
for what they have done than are
at the command of the New Or
leans criminals whose recent deeds
of i'll omen r without the shadow
of an excuse. The Chinese have
long been made to feel that their
religion, customs and traditions
were threatened, that their very
nationality itself was imperiled by
the menacing aggressions of
Europe, and as a consequence
their natural dislike for foreigners
has been transformed into a hatred
SO fierce that it finally found vent
in wholesale assassination,
But what shall be said of the
New Orleans savages? Who can
offer any sort of an excuse for
them? Their brutality is just as
sickening as that of the Boxers,
Notwithstanding that the former
live in a civilized and Christian

STOP THE sc0LD1NG.

STOP THE sCOLDING.
No doubt some mistakes were
made at the recent Republican
state convention, but no blundel
could possibly have occurred that
would equal that Of permitting the
Democrats to obtain. control of the
affairs of the state and subject
them to the .mismanagement that
would inevitably ensue. That
would indeed prove a costly error
and to avoid it becomes a duty
The Inter Ocean therefore makes
bold to assert that it is time that
newspapers of Republican faith
quit scolding and went to work in
the interests of the state ticket.
What has happened, anyhow?
Nothing serious that we can per-
ceive. The principles of the
Republican party of North Dakota
remain unchanged. There has
been no departure from a single
article of the Republican creed.
The platform adopted at Grand
Forks contains nothing that should
have been omitted, and omits
nothing that should have been in
cluded. Nothing is wrong with
the platform and nothing wrong
with the party, SO that it is certain
that no great blunder has been
perpetrated.
The worst alleged is that certain
deserving candidates whose names
should have gone on the ticket
were shelved and that certain sec.
tons of the state were ignored in
the making up of the ticket, but
even though this be true, it affords
no legitimate excuse for withhold.

In a recent editorial dealing
with the Democratic state ticket,
Individually and collectively, the
learned editor of the Plaindealer
starts off with a reference to Mat
thew Arnold, and then delivers a
panegyric on the Independent
voter, who is sized up as 'sthe lea

perhaps, but what a drop the
Plaindealer takes when in the next
paragraph it declares that "the
Independent Democratic conven-
ton placed before the people of
North Dakota a ticket that for
personal qualifications could not
have been improved upon" This
bare + faced assertion can be excused
only on the ground that the editor

There is at least one woman In Ken
wood who believes thoroughly in the
efficiency Of prayer. About year ago
her husband engaged In a business
venture that looked rather uncertain
But his wife had strong faith that it
would turn out well.
"Go ahead, john" she said, "and let
us put our trust In the Lord. I pray
every night that we may have no rea-
son to regret the risk we are taking"
The affair seemed to turn out pretty
well right from the start. Handsome
dividends were paid all through the
summer and during the winter, and
great JOY was In the home OF this man
and the sharer of his fortunes.
But there came a turn about month
ago. The business ceased to pay, and
since then the losses have been increas-
ing every day. Nothing was said about
ii at the fireside around which so much
happiness had centered during the last
year until the other day, when IL was
suggested by the worried husband that
II would be well TO cut down expenses.
Questions followed. as a matter Of

A Famous London Tavern.

The Mermaid was the name OF IA
nous London tavern frequented by
noted literary men and actors during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth. All the
wit and talent of the time assembled
there for convivial enjoyment. Au-
thors have made 1t the scene Of great
mind combats between such men as
Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont,
Fletcher, Selden. Carew, Donne and
others Of reverential memory. 1t was
the gathering place OF the celebrated
Mermaid club, the origin OF which is
ascribed TO Sir Walter Raleigh The
Mermaid tavern was located I'm Bread
street and was handily reached from
three thoroughfares, so that ii has been
often referred TO in various ways. The
Mermaid In Bread street, the Mermaid
In Friday street and the Mermaid in
Cheap street were, however, all one
and the same. 1t was the nearest to
Bread street. The Mermaid was de-
stroyed In the great London fire. There
were other Mermaid taverns, one in
Cheapside and another In Cornhill but
they had no such associations as clung

A 1IrNCHrON DISH


Steamed bread with cheese is dish
to be recommended. Strange 70 re-
late, this recipe is almost unknown.
II should therefore be cut out and pre-
served carefully for future reference.
In many OF the old villages OF New
York State II is TO be found in it's full
perfection, much thought OF by the
housewives.
Pieces of bread should be cut as IL
for the table, thinly buttered, and
placed in a frying pan. Sprinkle salt
over them in a small quantity, and
then add thick layer OF grated cheese.
Then another layer Of bread and salted
cheese, and when the pan is full pour
over a cup OF good, rich milk. Cover
closely and stand on the side Of the
stove where IL will steam slowly for
twenty minutes or half an hour. Turn
on a hot platter and serve at once.
This is an excellent luncheon dish, and
deserves to be raised into popularity.

HOW TO SEAL A LETTER.

As simple a process as sealing is,
there are many who are not versed In
the art and who find IL a difficult task
because OF the omission OF the follow
ing rules.
Never hold the wax in the flame.
This will make the seal streaky With
smoke stains and too soft. Hold IL q
little way above the flame until IL has
softened enough, then apply II 70 the
letter with a circular movement until
the seal is OF the right size and thick
ness.
BY this time the wax has hardened
too much TO receive a good impress Of
the seal. Now hold the letter over the
candle until the wax softens slightly;
then apply the seal, and the result will
be perfectly satisfactory.
