sHELDoNs NEWSPAPER.

The world viii now obtain an idea
OF how the Master would run news
paper. that Is 81 Rev. Chas. NJ. Shell
don's judgment as to that is sound
This week the Topeka Capital VIII be
run on that plan and incidentally be-
come one OF the best advertised papers
Of the country.
From what has been published about
the reforms Mr.. Sheldon deems neces-
sary, II appears that one Of the first
is the prohibition OF the use Of tobacco
in any form by the men employed in
the Office. A capital idea. to commence
the publication process right at home
Mr. Sheldon reserves the right to pass
upon every bit OF copy intended for the
paper. Advertisements viii be closely
scanned There viii be no patent med
iclne ads this week. Corset ads viii
be rejected. Liquor cure ads are not
accepted. Magazines containing whis-
Ny ads, or corset ads, etc. are not given
any space. Retail houses outside To-
peka cannot advertise with Mr. Shell
don, on the principle that the Masters
paper must first build up the local
trade Nor are the bargain day sales
considered legitimate.
From all accounts Il is evident that
the Rev. gent an has made q big
hit. The circulation Of the paper for
the week will far exceed the capacity
Of the Capital office. and arrangements
have been made with Kansas city, Chi
cago and New York papers to help in
printing the thousands Of copies de-
manded
This is one OF the significant facts
In connection with this experiment II
proves that the general public is dimly
conscious OF the need OF reform in a
certain class Of Journalism. IL proves
that the historical picture Of Jesus, pre-
scented by the Gospels, is still recog-
nlzed as the ideal and that
no higher moral standard can be
Imagined than the life Of the Nazarene.
1t will be somewhat difficult after this
to parade fakes. SANDER, falsehood,
crime and villainy, and TO give to that
which Is good and beautiful in human
life a subordinate position In public
print, on the plea that the public de-
mand Is FOR that which will satisfy a
depIaved taste There would be no
curiosity on the part OF the reading
public to see what kind OF literature
the Master would provide, were not the
stamp Of disapprobatlon clearly put on
the somewhat common article.
Mr. Sheldon may not succeed in DEM
onstratlng what Jesus would do, were
He In any way connected with an East
ern daily. His Judgment as TO that
may be entirely erroneous. The Capital
can after all. only reflect Mr.. Shell
don's ideas instead OF those Of the sa-
vlor But the experiment has neyerthe-
less rs value as showing the lines along
which modern journalism Is supposed to
transgress the rules Of morality as now
understood. But whether It will have
any permanent effect on Journalism is
a different question.

PUERTO RICO HUNGRY.

The situation IN Puerto Rico Is far
from satisfactory An appeal for food
Is made on behalf Of the needy people,
by Captain II. S Bishop. Of the Fifth
cavalry. According TO him many OF
the farmers no longer have any need
Of laborers, and many people are near
ly starving. The sugar industry VIII
give employment to only a few. In
the central part Of the island food is
scarce and will be for some time TO
come. The captain fears an outbreak
Of lawlessnoss, and an increase OF sick
ness and the death rate, unless the
conditions complained Ct are remedied,
The governor general, Mr.. Davis, adds
that workmen and their families. lack.
ing money to live, are drifting into the
towns demanding food. lie asks for
second shipment OF Eve hundred tons OF
rice cod fish and bacon, in usual pro-
portions. to follow the five hundred tons
to 20 on March 10th.
buIlns tue present Puerto klchn as
cussion, this appeal from the island
and the picture Of the condition Of its
inhabitants are timely. This country
is enjoying a period Of almost unparal-
leled prosperity. We have accepted
Puerto Rico as part Of the great Union,
Is there any conceivable reason why
one part Of this country should suffer
the pangs Of hunger while all the rest
Is feasting on the good things Of the
earth?
Evidently Il is the immediate duty Of
this country first to relieve the suf-
ferers and then see TO 1t that no law
making is allowed to erect bar which

SPEAKING OF THE WAR,
CIeyeland Plaln pealer.

Now the forces Of the two republics
are hurrying 70 defend their own terri
tory. The Free State has been invaded
In force by the main army under Rob-
erts. Unless his progress is checked he
VIII be soon threatening the South Atri-
can Republic from the Free State Line,
while the forces OF Butler and White
after brief time FOR recuperaton, will
take up the line OF march for Pretoria
through the scenes Of British defeats
in 1851 and 1899, or By way Of the Drak-
ensberg passes TO cooperate with Lord
Roberts. But. unless there is sudden
collapse OF Boer resistance through Free
State detection. the march to Pretoria
will be no picnic, Some Of the most
formidable natural defenses have yet to
be passed.

In forecastlng the future Of the
Transvaal under British administration
II must be borne IN mind that there are
no insuperable difficulties IN the way Of
the Dutch and the Brlton getting along
very comfortably together as British
subjects. The two races may bicker u
good deal and may even break up into
rival camps in a political campaign, but
that they will not fly at each others

Colony In the war now In progress.

So much has been said about the de-
structlve effect Of the modern rifle. dur
ing the progress Of the war In cuba
and the existing war in South Africa,
that Il Is interesting 20 note that the
Revue Milltalre. a French army publl-
cation, takes the view that the destruc-
tveness OF the modern military rifle
decides battles so quickly that & pre-
vents heavy aggregate losses, This Is
probably true as the losses suffered by
the British troops In South Africa have
all been in comparatively short but
extremely hot engagements, so far as
rihe-tire and rapid field battery fire are
concerned.

Thus Lord Roberts Is in a position TO
converge with two armies on Bloemfon-
tein, one advancing along the Modder
river and across the veldt, and timing
It's movement by the progress Of the
other (the southern) amy pushing rs
way along the Bloemfontein railway. At
the point Of contact there may be a
great battle. or the Beers may think
discretion the better part Of valor and
retire on Winburg, where the defensive
conditions are said 10 be superior. The
possession Of the entire railway south
Of Bloemfontein would fan into Lord
Roberts hands. and his base would be
changed from Kimberley TO the Orange
river.

WILKINSON SUMS
 UP THE SITUATION Says the BoerS Are Gradually
 Being Crushed MUCH EXPECTED OF EULER The Expert Thinks Ladysmith Can Be Relieved If the English General Pushes on Without Stopping
 to Count Losses
MUCH EXPECTED OF EULER

London, February 2-Spencer Wilkinson, summarizing the weeks events in the war in South Africa for the Associated Press tonight said:
 "On the night of Thursday, February 15, General Cronje marched out from Magers- fontein between General French who had just entered Kimberley and General Kelly Kenny, than at Kip drift, on the Modder river. The next day General Kelly-Kenny pursued him, attacking his rear guard and delaying him until the Highland brigade was on its way to stop him on the south bank of the Modder, and General French could pass him on the north bank | "After three days running fight General | Cronje was stopped at Moodoosrand, near Paardeberg, where he was surrounded. His | force was between the river bank, which gave him a defensive position facing the British, so that the aotacks him were hard. In the meantime Lord Roberts, with a spare division or two, beyond the three
 brigades holding Cronje, set himself to in tercept and drive away any body of rein | forcements.
 -'This was the situation on Wednesday, and 1t offered a reasonable probability of l General Cronje's force and of the defeat or | any endorsements. We have little news beyond Wednesday. On 1nurSuay the Slell- ing of Cronje was continued at intervals, continuous shelhng probably involving a too lavish use of ammunition. The Boers have been giving themselves up by ffHa.es a day On Tuesday Lord Roberts drove off endorsements coming from Colesberg and from Natal.
 "A Berlin report declares that Cronje had forced his way through. This is im- possible, but may refer to small party who may have escaped tonight
 'Iord Roberts advance has drawn away some of the Boer forces from Colesoerg, Sterxstroom and Natal as is seen from the diminished resistance to the British at all these points. General Butler, after taking Inhlwae Hill, crossed the Tugela river, and, accord ing to the latest tofegrams has been fight
 ing continuously since Thursday morning. This looks like a decided attempt to relieve Ladysmth, wherein I expect General Bull der will succeed If he does not, as before, ] interrupt his advance by stopping to count his losses and declaring that he has lost enough. A general has never lost enough to justify the giving up of his enterprise so long as his troops are willing to go on
 with him. Ladysmith can probably hold out for several weeks longer, and In that
 time the effect of Lord Roberts advance : will probably be even more remarked than 1t has yet been."
