Folger McKinsey in Baltimore News.
The balefires lit his yellow eyes,
His flaming nostrils spread,
Above the city's ancient walls
He reared his horrid head;
His leaping tongue, through CORY lips,
Shot out through fangs of white
The Dragon of the East went forth
To deaths wild dance last night!
Scaled with the lies of ancient power,
Clawed with the hate of years,
Beaked with the Asiatic dover
OF crime-corroded years;
Dragging his form above the dead
That marked his murderous way
He danced the awful tune that rings
Through cycles of Cathay!
Cleaning and glaring. huge and warm,
The lanterns lit his path
Down the long lanes of dead that lay
Under his stroke of wrath.
Fierce, with the wine of blood debauched
Drunk for the seasons kill,
The earth beneath his hoof-beat broke
Into a thunder thrill!
Play up the heather tunes of DEATH
Play up! the Dragons dance!
The alien peoples in his path
Shall wither at his glance,
Sweep of his mighty tail and swing
OF jaws that feed on gore
But bark! along the Tien Tsin wa.
That cannon-throated roar!
On to the dance the allies rush,
TIL dance shall turn to dread.
And the ensaffroned demon stretch
His length beside the dead!
Beat the bright music of the brave
That rush to seal his fate,
Whose bleared eyes trembe at the light
That breaks around the gate!
Whose talons culver in distress,
Whose huge lips bite the dust,
Whose century-cinctured scales fall off
Before the swordman's thrust;
Whose Dance of Death is nearly Ger,
Whose pathway shall be swept
OF women and of babies. foul slain
Where'er his hoofs have slept!
Out of the night he makes his own,
Out of the dance he weaves
Around the suppliant form that knees
Meath his huge fangs and grieves.
Nations shall mold the higher good,
Pierce with their contrite ray
The yellow shadow of thy life
Thou Dragon of Cathay!

RRIrIsH LOSSES " SOUTH ArRIcA

n a.
Great Britain will succeed, of course
in her purpose of wiping the South Afri-
can republics off the map, but the price
she is paying for doing it is a fearful
one. 1t is impossible TO state what the
cost has been thus far, in lives and money.
but 1t is very heavy. The English debt
is larger by several hundred millions of
dollars than 1t was when the war began,
and more than 1000 of Gen. Roberts
soldiers have been either killed or disabled
by disease and wounds
That pretty big minority of the Eng
lish people are heartily tired of the
war there is no doubt 1t is
diers of the army in South Africa are
anxious to get back to England They
have had enough of the war
But they will not be permitted to re-
turn until the Beers are conquered When
that will be, no one can say with any de-
gree of certainty. Gen. Roberts has $780,
600 men fit for duty. and the Beers have
about 1900. Nevertheless. the Beers prom
Use to hold out for a good while yet. And
when they are finally compelled to yield
to abandon the guerrilla warfare in which
they are now engaged-they will retain a
hatred Of Englishmen that will make il
extremely difficult for the British govern
ment to govern the country successfully.
Even now the Boer officers who are pris-
oners are telling their captors that the
Beers will take advantage of the first
opportunity to strike Great Britain blow.
They will wait until Great Britain be
comes entangled in a war with a powerful
adversary, and then they will seek re-
venge. II is asserted that the Boer women
than the men are. According to some ac-
counts nothing would give them so much
satisfaction as to have a chance to tor
ture British soldiers. And yet the Beers,
both men and women, have been exceed
lngly kind to British prisoners.
1t is not clear why the Beers are still
holding out, since 1t must be evident to
them that ID Is only a question of time
when they will have to surrender. Per-
haps shey are hoping to get better terms
by holding out a while longer If that
Is their purpose they are probably right.
II is apparent that in England dissatisfac-
ton with the war Is becoming more pro-
nouncled. The war was never very pop
ular one. There was a suspicion that it
was undertaken to advance ambitious
schemes of Cecil Rhodes and Secretary
Chamberlain. The peace sentiment is
bound to become stronger and II will not
be without its effect on the government
BY holding out. therefore, the Beers may
be able to get better terms than would
be granted them if they were TO surrender
now.

TIE CR0KER-HILL FIGHT CON-
TINUES.

The entire country is interested in the
political situation in New York. With the
right sort of man as a candidate for
Governor the Democrats will have a good
chance of carrying that state, not only
for the state ticket, but also for the ma
tional ticket.
It seems to be admitted that the most
popular Democrat in the state at this time
is Mr.. Coler, the present controller of the
city of New York. Mr. Coler is not anx-
ious for the nomination, but it is under
stood that he would accept it. He is op-
posed, however, by Mr. Croker, who is ad-
mittedly the leader of the state Democ-
racy. Mr.. Croker is against Mr.. Coler be-
cause the latter is unfrendly to Tam
many. Also because Mr.. Coler, in The
event of his election. would be against
Tammsny. Mr.. Hill is supposed to be be-
hind the Coler movement. 1t is suspected
that he is using Mr.. Coler to defeat Mr..
Cookers political purposes.
1t Is question therefore whether Tam
many would give Mr.. Coler a very hearty
support If he should get the gubernatorial
nomination. But if Tammany did not
give the majority to the ticket expected
of 1t there would be an outcry against IL
by Democrats through the state Mr..
Croker would be severely censured, ana
might lose the influence in the party
which he has acquired. There is certain
to be a very interesting fight. therefore,
in the Democratic State Convention. 1t
will be fight between Mr. Hill and Mr..
Croker.
These two leaders do not Seem TO be con-
sidering the national ticket go much as
their personal feelings. Senator Jones.
chairman of the Democratic Ma tional Com
mittee, was In New York recently for the
purpose of bringing to an end the bad feel
ing between them. He did not accomplish
anything. His concern was not for the
state ticket, but for the national ticket
II may be that when the fight over the
state ticket is ended the factions will
unite and work theoretically for the sue
cess of the party. but just now it does not
look as il they would. The feeling be-
tween Mr. Hill and Mr.. Croker is so bitter
that it does not seem probable that they
will ever again work together in harmony.

The anti-coat movement which origi-
mated In this city. has spread practically
all over the country 1t may not achieve
a solid position his season. but it is bound
10 be heard from next year. and in no I'M
certain manner. because it is based upon
reason. AT Manhattan Beach last Sun
day young men without coats, but neatly
clad, were denied admission TO the
grounds Is there, as a ma ter of fact,
any valid reason why a man. or a woman,
should not dress to suit individual. fancy,
80 long as the costume does not violate
decency? The laws, written and unwrit-
ten which prescribe the certain manner
in which men and women shall ciothe
themselves. are relics of old fogyism.
TIL re can be no reasonable ob5e- ton to
men wearing shirt waists. or even skirts
and bodices, if they want to, or TO wo-
men wearing trousers and coats. As
matter of fact. the fair sex have already
belt up, and look and no doubt feel the
better for 1t. The shirt sleeves brigade
is good thing. 1t is a movement for
rational dress REFORM and the Savannah
young gentlemen who inausurated it are
entitled TO the grateful thanks of all men
who have heretofore been compelled to
swelter through the summer in coats
merely because 1t was the custom.

Regarding General Butler and his sup

About the time the wine was due Butler
wired to the officer in charge of the base.

We admire and applaud the patience
and persistency of our esteemed contem-
porary, the News and Courier. in a good
cause. For years and years it has been
laboring with the people of Charleston to
get them to see the adyisability of bath
ing, especially in hot weather. After a
temporary suspension of the bathing ques-
ton, during which the naval station. the
exposition and the thermometer have been
discussed, the News and Courier returns
10 the attack upon the great unwashed,
and in an editorial of nearly a column
tells Its people that If they will get into
a tub Of cold water on a hot day the
temperature OF their bodies will be re-
duced. That indeed, Is something which
ought 90 commend the bath to most dis
tinguished consideration in Charleston.
We have noticed upon several occasions
recently that there is Ia that
city a disposition towards great
heat when certain matters In con-
nection with Port Royal are mem
toned. Possibly the cold bath would be
good for that At all events, we recon-
mend 10 our friend and contemporary
that il continue the agitation in favor Of
the bath, IN anticipation OF the time
the pipe line to the Edisto river is finished
and the cold water is turned on.

A New England Democrat. well known
in judicial, business and social circles
talking'over the political situation during
recent visit to this city, made some
interesting observations. There is no
promise he said, that New England
Republican will not make and no state
ment that he will hesitate to indorse. If
by doing so he can help the Republican
party and injure the Democratic party.
No matter how respectable in private life
or how honorable in business affairs he
mey be, the New England Republican can
not be relied on in politics He feels that
IL is his sacred and bounden duty to help
beat the Democrats for If Republican
ism is not bread and butter TO him. il is
to some of his relatives or friends. He
believes that the means are justified by
the end, and never let's his conscience
trouble him when he is dealing with poli-
tics. 1t is doubtless such Republicans as
the class described who are responsible
for the stories that Aguinaldo and Pres
ident Kruger are contributors Of large
sums to the Democratic campaign fund.
1t seems strange that there are persons
credulous enough to. balieve such rot:
but when those who are leaders in bust
ness and religious affairs in New Eng
land tell such yarns to their followers,
the yarns are given the color of plausi-
bility. The two colorod comic weeklies of
New York, Harper's Journal Of Civii-
cation" Leslie's Weekly, and other peri
odicals, are using the power OF the PIC
torial press TO aid the Republicans in mis-
representing the Democratic party and
its leaders. They cater 70 New England
prejudices and TO the money power.

agony, perhaps, and then the end. braced
rayself for the ordeal. Rising to my feet,
gave a last glance around, my eye taking in
the vast sweep of the sea, on deck the ma
rlnes still wrestling with the murderous
royalist, and, hurrying aft, Belden, followed
by Lounsbury. Then turning my thoughts
aloft, l had a revelation, without the
slightest mental effort, without the slightest
bending of the mind toward any refuge this
side of the great unknown, a possble-ay,
probable-way of escape opened before me.
As the angel of the Lord at the last moment

fee of his son, so burst this light out of
thick darkness and showed me my work was
rot yet finished. More than willing was to
grasp this more than chance. As though a

a deep breath, and quickly unloosing my
