ONE SOVEREIGNTY
RE-EST ARLISIIiN

One stage of the war in South Africa
is completed with the British occula-
ton of B,oemfontein, says the Phila-
delphia Times The Orange Free
State had 20 quarrel with the British
or they with it, but it joined with the
Transvual in the invasion of British
territory and it has had to submit to
the fortunes Of war. The British flag
flying ever the capitol indicates the
resumption of the sovereignty that
was relinquished more than forty years
ago, and that will not be relinquished
again. As an independent political
entity, President Steyn's government
will cut no further figure.
The Beers OF the Orange Free State
are much more peacefully disposed
than their more venturesome nomadic
kinsmen across the Naal, and there
probably will be no great difficulty in
re-establishlng their autonomous gov
eminent under British protection and
sovereignty. This will not come at
once, of course, for the President and
the warike clement will still hold out
and there may he hard fighting yet to
be done. Meanwhile the military arm
is paramount. But from this time
kruger's rather unwilling allies take a
subordinate place in the conflict. Their
liberties are more secure than before,
but their nominal independence, which
they ncedlessly put at issue, they may
make up their minds that they have
lost.
General Roberts next step will be
to clear the country back of him to the
Orange river and establish lis railway
communications with the Cape. He
will then have a favorable military
base from which to prosecute his cam
paign in the direction of the Vaal.

FALSE ECONOMY.

Economy is an excellent policy, but
parsimony is foolish, whether in pri-
vate or public affairs, says the Balti-
more american. How many house
holds have been made wretched by the
squeezing process it would he idle to
attempt to compute. A state is not
very different from large household.
There is not tie same temptation to
parsimony, and, therefore, not as much
excuse, and yet political party is Of
ten deluded into installing cheese-par
ing for genuine economy. The farm
ers are supposed to hold the balance
of power in the legislature, and it is
assumed that they favor economy.
The word has gone out that the ses-
sion must be economical. The aver
age farmer knows the difference be-
tween economy and parsimony. If he
did not he would not make living at
his business. He knows that the diff
fercnt branches of the government
must lie decently housed and comfort
ably provided for, and that offices ne
cessary for the safeguarding Of the
public funds must be created and main
tanned. 1t would be an insult to the
farmers to conclude that they do not
perceive these things.
Maryland is probably better able to
have all that she needs for the judi
cious and comfortable management of
her affairs than any state in the Union.
Her taxes are trifiing, and yet she is
much worse off in several important
particulars than some of the states
which have not been in the Union a
quarter of the century. This is not
economy; it is parsimony of the worst
kind. 1t makes the victims uncom-
Portable, and brings shame on the COM
monwealth. If there arc any farmers
who believe in that kind of economy
they should be reminded that the citi-
zens are not all farmers Some OF
them are mechanics, lawyers, doctors,
business men, all Of whom Object to
paying unnecessary taxes, and many
of whom are less able to pay taxes
than farmers. They none the less
desire to see every branch Of the
state government decently housed, and
they wish the legislature to provide
every facility for the honest and eco
nominal management of public affairs.

LEE AND WHEELEH'S

Since it became known that General
Wheeler has submitted his resignation
to the President as an officer Of the voInn-
teer army his friends have been astoniSh-
ed that he should have pursued such a
course when there was every prospect of
his being transferred to the regular army
and retired with the rank and pay Of a
brigader
The President has been anxious To con-
fer on both General Wheeler and General
Lee the rank of brigadier in the regular
army, with the privilege of retiring as
such Immediately. The plan is still con-
templated, and when the next vacancy
occurs in that grade on the retirement Of
Major General Merritt, next June, it is
understood General Lee may be appoint
ed and at once retired to make way for
some colonel of regulars who will retain
the vacancy until retired by operation
of the clause. General Wheeler's friends
will no doubt urge him to withdraw his
resignation.
SnOulu IL come 10 Il question Vi eho's
ing between General Lee and General
Wheeler, however, as to whom should
secure the vacancy, the President will
unquestiopably select General Lee for
financial reasons alone. General Lee is
known to be POOR man and to have little
money aside from his pay, while General
Wheeler, although not rich, is said to be
comfortably provided for. His cotton
plantation brings him in a considerable
sum, and besides, he owns profitable lands
in Georgia.

One Of the important measures
pending in the Legislature is the Cor
rupt Practices Act. Enlightened pub
lie sentiment seems to demand the en-
actment of this law. Corrupt prac-
tees in elections contaminate and in
jure the whole community in which
they are tolerated. If men are allow
ed to openly defy the law in politics
they will soon presume to defy all law
Tame submission to usurpation in one
respect encourages usurpation in
others.

EUerv Man is the

anything affecting England is even men
toned the ma olity orders the doors closed.
What a picture for the American people
to contemplate. Even in secret session
the administration Senators are afraid to
allow Senator Mason's resolution to he
squarely voted upon. Their program is
to throttle it by having a majority vote to
lay it on the table. If the so called era of
friendship with England is to result in
scuelching our Americanism and our love
for liberty the sooner it comes to an end
the better for US as a people.

Out Of the tangled muss growing ou,
Of the adoption of the Titus amendmen,
at last comes ray Of light. 1t has beer
claimed all along that the proposition
for constitutional convention was
carried and that too when nobody seem
ed to want it. Now the statement is
made that mistake was made in the
returns from Tama county whereby ihe
convention proposition was credited
with 1000 too many votes and this
changes the result from majority Of
AS for the convention to 555 against il
and we are all thankful.
