much stress upon how Lord Roberts was
welcomed to Bloemfontein by the citizens,
with hurrahing and flag waving. But,
how did the Londoners suppose the victor

no doubt have a very wholesome regard
for their own safety, and know how to

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago News Qnd.) says: Senator
Plat of Connecticut, says the people of
his state would be glad if the Porto Rican
tariff were '1l5 per cent. instead of Is per
cent" Such an opinion unblushingly pro-
claimed in the United States Senate is
likely to renew interest in the scholastic
problem of the middle ages as to how
many souls can stand on the point of "a
needle The question should be modified
however. and confined to the investiga-
ton of how many statesmen of Senator
Platts size can stand on one nutmeg
The Philadelphia Press says: zone of
the results of the Sheldon newspaper
scheme will be to start no end of freaks
and religious enthusiasts to attempting
all sorts OF foolish things and enterprises
as Jesus would. The fellow who is rum
ming for Congress in Kansas and conduct
ing his campaign on this sacrilegious ba-
sis is the most prominent imitetor of Shell
don up to the present time. Unfortuna telY,
the sacrilege of half of these schemes will
not be apparent to that portion of the
American public swayed by religious fer.
Vor no matter what shape IL takes, while,
on the other hand. 1t furnishes an oppor-
tunity to another very large element in
our American life to scott at religion"
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: "In the
United States, as in Great Britain, the
profits Of the war will go to privileged
class. and the masses will pay the butch
er's bill" as well as the cost in treasure.
Our army contractors, shipbuilders and
owners and a few manufacturers win
gain all that is to be had in the way Of
profits from our blunder in the Philip
pines, while the gold miners and diamond
miners will derive the only substantial
benefits from the war i'm South Africa.
War IS a one-slded business in whicn
those who do not jeapardize their pre-
c!ous lives carry off the lions share of the
booty, 1t is strange that the people are
so blind to tner own interests-so willing
10 fight others battles and to burden
themselves with taxes that others may
be made rich at their expense"
The Nashville American (Dem). says:

eminent of the Orange Free State has

and popular with all, and if nominated he
would be elected by big majority.
