EXAMPLE OF GOOD TACTICS
Gen. French's success Gives the
Military Critics Something to
Talk AbOot.

LONDON. Jan. 2, 4:3o a. m.-The success
Of Gen. French In driving the Boers from
Colesburg has shot a welcome ray Of light
through the gloom Of the campaign In
South Africa. Everywhere 1t is comment-
ed upon as an example Of sound tactics
and as an illustration of what may be done
when the right msthoda are employed with
the Beers. The government Is urged to
take the lesson to heart and to SEQ that
no stone Is left unturned in the endeavor
to get the largest possible force Of cavalry
and mounted infantry to the front.
Now that Gen. French has the Beers on
the run. the hope is expressed that he will
give them no rest. but will harass them
until they have found their way across
the Orange river. which is twelve miles
distant. The Old wagon route to the Free
State traverses Colesburg and crosses the
river by fine bridge 1870 feet long. 1t is
believed that the Beers retreated toward
Norvalspont, further east, and the ques-
tion is whether Gen. French viii be able
to secure these two bridges before the
Beers destroy them.
One important result OF the success OF
Gen. French is that 1t will have a deter
rent effect on Dutch disanection.
There is some disposition here to exag-
gerate the Importance OF small slxirmisl1es

CRUSADE AGAINST VICE.
Movement ON Foot, strongly Led, to
Purify the Plague Spots of the
Lower East Side.

NEW YORK, Jan. This, the first

for the Inauguration OF the crusade
against vice on the lower East side. The
movement has attracted wide attention by
reason of the forces behind it. These in

nounced his intention to rid the congested
district of its many plague spots.
Prof. Adler will have the assistance of
over a score of ministers of all denomi-
nations, among them, 1t is reported, the
Rev. Briggs. formerly of the PRESBYTERIAN
church, but now a Protestant Episcopal
clergyman, and In charge Of the pro-ca-
thedral in Canton street, the very center
of what is called ''the infested district"
No set plan of campaign has been out
lined, but the work will be pursued with
aggressiveness. Much of its force will be
derived from the fact that the better ele-
ment of the district will lend a hand and
in a quiet way bring the leaders Of the
crusade face to face with the situation,
The politicians will be appealed to, and
If these appeals fail then other means will
be resorted to.
Just what is meant by this the leaders
OF the movement refuse to say, but they
intimate that the politician who fails in
his duty will be treated to a disagreeable
surprise. The police are also expected to
lend their earnest cooperation and 1t is
expected the bluecoats OF the various po-
lice stations in the district viii be given
definite orders when they start on their
early evening and midnight patrols.

Report of Committee.

i. Il. McC1anahan read the follow in <
call to the citizens of Hawaii:
From the earliest days of the Republic
to the present time the Democratic party
has perslstently resisted the tendency of
selfish interest to the Capitalization of
governmental power. For more than a
century this party of the people has adj
vocated with unwavering consistency the
great and fundamental principles upon
which our government rests-freedom of
the press, freedom of conscience, preser-
walton of personal rights, the equality of
all citizens before the law, and the faith
full observance of constitutional lirnita-
tons. Arising from the practical inter-
probation and Applicant of these funda-
mental truths, to the conduct of govern
meut. are issues which are today divid-
ing the thought and interest of the
American people. On the one hand are
drrayed that class of men who believe
that all direct legislation should in the
first instance be enacted for, and take
into account only, the interests of capital
and the enterprises created by wealth,
and that by such legislation the interests
and demands touching the life. welfare
and happiness of all other classes will, of
necessity, find beneficial solution by nat
ural law or by some process of self-ad-
tustmentx That which is taken for grant
ed, as the basis of their reasoning, is
that If laws are enacted which shall pro-
tect the rich; the rich, of necessity, will
find it TO their interest to take care of all
others.
