THE WAR GOES ON.

After the capture of Bloemfontein by
the English the Beers got a lot of dis
interested and gratuitous advice about
what they ought to do When johann
nesburg was surrendered they got
more, and when Lord Roberts entered
Pretoria there was an almost universal
demand that the Beers should sue for
peace on any terms, as their cause was
a hopeless one 1t was pointed out
that there was no capital but President
Kruger's car, that the commanders
were scattered, that thousands of
Burghers hao returned to their homes,
that most of the English held as pris-
oners had been released, and that, in
general the Jig was UP. London re-
joiced with exceeding great joy, and
all England followed suit. The war was
virtually over, 5000 men had con-
quered $4,000. and the British Empire
had once again absorbed a couple or
petty States.
That was a week ago. Since then
the "disheartened" and defeated and
scattered" Boer commanders have
been very much in evidence Two en-
tire English battalions have been cap
tured, Bloemfontein has been reoccu-
pied, Lord Roberts's railway communi-
cations have not only been cut, but
from sixteen to twenty miles of track
destroyed, and De Wet is reported
marching on johannesburg with $4,000
men. This is the Boer score up to
date.
On the other side we have a report
that 1900 Beers have surrendered to
Brabant, end that the Boer position at
Laing's Mex and Majuba hill, impreg-
nable as to a frontal attack, has been
turned by Butler, and that the republic
cans have withdrawn. AS usual they
appear to have taken all guns and sup
plies with them, for use later On.
The two points of interest now are
the mountains north of the neck of
Natal. and the country between Bloem-
fontein and johannesburg. A great
and absorbingly interesting game is
being played.

The fire department was called out

WILL SMITH BE FIRED.

There are surface indications that
President Mckinley will have to I'M
load Postmaster General Charles En-
DRY Smith. 1t has been recognized
ever since the Cuban postal frauds be-
came public that Mr.. Smith would DE
decidedly in the way during the polit
ical campaign, but as he showed no
disposition to give up his place pres
sure is being applied. The hint comes
from Philadelphia, where the Wildey
Republican club, one of the most in
fluential in the city, has INDUCED in
this resolution:
ION account of the frauds recently ex-
posed in the postal service in the island
of Cuba it is apparent that the head of
the postoHlce department at Washington
cannot escape from the responsibility
Tor the scandal which consequently at
taches to the federal administration
The resolution then calls upon Mr..
Smith to tender his resignation on the
ground that his department has been
incompetently administered, and it il
further alleged that his retention in
office would accentuate the scandal
and bring further reproach upon the
Republican party Of the nation" Other
clubs are to take similar action, and
then, it is thought, Mr. Smith will
drop out of sight gracefully and ex-
peditiously.
The query is: Why don't the Pres
ident bounce the P. M. G? This thing
of beating Old Nick around the bush
looks bad.

dislikes holy water. It was decided
that the Republican platform should
soak the trusts good and hard-de-
nounce them absolutely and in toto,
and In such language as would sol
emnly impress the public. THE plank
is " be a strong one" is the language
of the telegram, and is to be made
up of plain words.
This is all eminently foolish, and
will deceive no one. No sane man be-
lieves in Republican hostility to trusts
and combines for a moment. The
party owes its present success to these
combinations, it has fostered them in
every possible way, and it will OBJ
tain from them large sums for the
prosecution of the approaching cam
paign. Any antitrust plank, inserted
in the Philadelphia platform, will be
with intent to deceive, pure and SIM
pie, and will so be regarded by trusts
and voters alike.
Imagine, for instance, trust dele
gates to the Republican convention
voting in good faith for an antitrust
plank. Men like John Lambert, Pres
ident of the American Steel & Wire;
Isaac L. Elwood, of the same COM
pany; Frank A. Lowden, of the Pull

Mark Hanna's efforts to find some
body with a large bar'l willing to ac
cept the Republican nomination for
Vice President have not yet been
crowned with success, and as the Phila-
delphia Convention is only a week
away the situation is becoming serious
not to say desperate. Everybody so
far approached has begged off upon
one pretext or another, or has CURLY
declined without giving reasons or ex-
plantations, and the big Republican
boss is at his wits end. Of course
somebody will have to accept In the
end for the Mckinley kite must have

Hanna fill the aching void himself?
There is no written law prohibiting
the whole ticket coming from the same
State. And then there's Tom Platt,
and Steve" Elkins, and that Republi-
can of Republicans, w. S. Taylor, of
Indiana, late of Kentucky, and lots of
other eminent statesmen who have not
yet been consulted. Hanna should not
despair. Why not even name Senator
Hoar, or Senator Lodge, or Benz. Har-
rison, or Senator Worthington, and at
tempt to reunite the grand old party
upon a platform broad enough to ac-
commodate all the factions?

No Picnic for Mckinley

Pittsburg Post
In Philadelphia on Saturday night
Henry G. Payne, National Republican
committeeman from Wisconsin, made a
statement touching on his party's out
look for success this fall that has given
Republicans much to think about and is
causing them no end of uneasiness. He
declared that in his trips through the
country he had found dangerous ele-
ment that presaged hard fight for Nc
kinley in his campaign for reelection
Men who had been loyal to Mckinley
in 1862 he said. were not in line with
the Republican party now, having be-
come estranged by many of the admins
tration's radical un-union policies The
many strikes and lockouts he blieved
would have a damaging effect In many
sections, while the dissatisfaction with
his party sdelay in dealing with the
trusts and combinations he considered
especially menacing. In conclusion he
asserted that the campaign of 1896 was
picnic compared with what the one for
1900 would be, and he cautioned his col
leagues against wasting any time in
hurrahs, when hard work was so essen
tial
Shrewd observers, many Republicans
among them, have noted that the tide is
slowly but most certainly turning to-
ward w. j. Bryan. Many who opposed
the Nebraskan in 1896 are now ready
to espouse his cause, especially as the
passage of the currency act has made
it well nigh impossible for him to inter-
fere with the monetary standard on
the question of Imperialism and trusts
they are more willing to follow his
leadership than that of the present exc
cutive, and the fact that Senator Hanna,
defender of the monopolistic combina-
tons, is so intimately connected with
the Mckinly regime fills their minds
with mistrust and misgivings as to the
future.
