already sent to the battlenelds Of South
Africa no less than three dukes and 10

to South Africa to take up the struggle
against the unpretentious and untitled
Boer. In this connection, too. it is worth
noting that there have been those mil
.tary experts who have claimed that the
present weakness of the British army
lay In the fact that its officers have
been chosen too closely from among the
aristocracy. 1t was painfully obvious

Richmond. There are likewise Il few
princes at present in South Africa, as.
for instance, Prince Christian, but these
same princes will all be kept well away
from the firing line. for princes are too
big fish to be shot at. Count Gleichen,
who was one of the many British ofll-
GERS who fell at NIodder River, could
claim the relationship of cousin with
Queen Victoria. Prince Francis of Tecll
is also at the seat of war, but it is not
likely that he will be able to claim
many Boer scalps when the struggle is
over, as he is there more as Il gilded
spectator than as a combatant

The mine accident at Scofleld
was without any doubt whatever,
the most appalling that has occur
red in the west. The human mis-
cry, lamentation, hopelessness and
woe, which exists there in that
little hamlet today is without the
conception of those whose lives
have never been brought in cons
tact with the misery entailed by
such great disaster. The sorrow
of the poor is even greater than the
rich could possibly be, as the latter
have the purchasing power of more
which can be made contrib
utive to comfort and to bring on
forgetfulness. With the poor all
this is different. Confined within a
narrow circle, the comforts of life
at a minium, their sorrow is of the
keenest and woe indeed is theirs.

THE ISCARIOT PAPERS.

The Times of Denver has been
making a very desperate effort to
be funny at the expense of Thom>
as M. Patterson's repeated declar-
ations that "silver is the most im>
portant issue before the people in
the present campaign" That pap
er really believed it had struck at
last, something upon which they
could rib up the News as a back
number, but recent utterances OF
the eastern press, represented by
such papers as the St. Louis Globes
Democrat, reinforce the statements
made by the News, and the Times
is once again to be pitied.
The Globe>Democrat is worried
a great deal over the possible CONS
plexion of the next senate. 1t ap>
pears to think that the silver guess
ton may dominate that important
body at the next term. There is
at present in that body majority
of only seven for the gold standard
and it is likely that some of this
number will be changed at the
coming senatorial elections in the
several states which will choose
senators.
The Times can sputter and cave
and attempt the funniest possible
extravgances to prove that the sil>
yer sentiment is dying out, but
its effort will not avail in the sill ;
yer states of the west or among
those people of the east who have
studied the matter and are silver
advocates solely on principle. 1t
seems to be the duty of those
papers which formerly were advo-
Gates of the cause Of silver to att
tempt the dirtiest kind OF work
against the policy to which they at
one time professed allegiance The
papers which, from the beginning
have been single standard papers
have by their decent advocacy for
the cause in which they have pro,
fessed faith, won the respect of the
silver people. But the hounders Of
the silverites have been the former
rabid and rampant silver papers
themselves, which have gone over
to the gold standard people, not
because they believed in the prin>
ciple of a single standard, as the
sole money system of the country,
but because they saw possible
chance to sit at the pie table with
those in power.
