it were, and since his day false
teeth have been growing and

Kruger Among The French.

Kansas City Times: at is the great
est entry since Napoleon returned from
Elba," is the language used by one of
the correspondents, writing about the
series of ovations rendered to President
Kruger during the progress of his rail-
road journey from Marseilles to Paris.
Another eye witness says OF it: The
journey of the exiled president Of the
Transvaal republic from Marseilles to-
ward Paris has called forth an enthusi-
asm far exceeding in intensity any thing
I have seen in this country during aresi-
dence of eighteen years. 1t throws into
the shade the receptions accorded to
General Boulanger during his transient
popularity. 1t is deeper and more spon-
taneous than the ovations given to Ad-
miral Avelan, to the emperor of Russia,
even to Marchand after Fachoda. It
was triumphant journey like that of a
general returning from great victory"
No wondel the aged and heroic Boer
leaders trembled with joy atsuch eviden-
ces Of honor and appreciation from the
warm hearted citizens of the French re-
public. No wonder hope, almost extin-
tinguished by years of struggle in diplo-
macy and war TO avert the destroying
hand Of British tyranny from his beloved
country, kindled his eye and mantled
ruddily in his cheek.
President Kruger and the little group
Of Beers around him recognized in these
shouts and vivas of the French populace,
in the words Of loud acclaim from the
| lips of soldiers and civilians in every city,
town and hamlet through which his train
passed, that whatever the French gov
ernment may do, or has done, with refer
ence to the cause he represents, the
great heart Of the chivalrous French ma
tion is with him and with his people in
their unprecedented struggle for liberty
and self government.

The Greatest of Trusts.

Atlanta Constitutions: The latest
proposition in the trust line is one
which ought to open the eyes Of
those who have allowed themselves
to be fooled into blind worship of
the single gold standard.
According to cablegram from
London, a movement is on foot there
to form what will be the most gi-
gantic of all trusts-a gold trust to
control the entire output, of gold of
the world. Alfred Belt, who is ac-
counted in London the richest man
IN the world, is SAID to be at the
head Of this gold trust movement.
He Is row the leading spirit of a
firm which controls the majority of
the South African gold mines. 1t
is said that Belt and his allies today
show a mark ct value of $975, 100000.
His ambition is to run his personal
holdings up to the stupendous sum
of l,00O,000,000,
He does not care for money for
what it will buy, for he already has
more money than any man could
possibly spend in life time. He
aspires to power-to make govern.
ments bow to him; and he knows
money is powerful. He proposes
TO be the real Napoleon of finance,
a Napoleon with whom q Waterloo
would be impossible.
The details of the proposed trust
are told briefly in u cable TO The
New York Journal. According to
this, the gold trust scheme has been
in process Of formation for eight
months, South Africa produces a
majority of the worlds supply of
gold, and Belt, with the allies he
has drawn around him, controls q
majority Of the African output. The
gold mine properties of Australia
and of the Klondlke and large
number of the most important prop
critics in America are owned in Lon
don, and with the resources at their
command, Belt and his crowd ex-
pect to easily secure control Of these
properties, If they have not already
done so.
The manipulation who has charge
of this gigantic scheme hopes to
get controE of seven eighths of the
output of gold in the world Then
he will have not only individuals,
but governments at his mercy. If
he succeeds in accomplishing his
purposes, the real beauties of the
gold standard will be fully realized.

How They Regard Victory.

Not Out of the Woods Yet.

Kansas City Times: London news
papers continue to minimize the black
outlook in South Africa by belitthng the
seriousness of the blows that are being
struck every week against some outpost,
or railroad communication, or foraging
band Of British cavalry by the tireless
and ever alert Beers.
The comment made by their leading
writer's lately on the dispatches from
South Africa is that the guerrilla warfare
carried on by burghers is Of an insignif-
cant and desultory character, that they
have only one command Of 1000 men in
the field and only a few guerrilla bands
of about 20U men each, who are lighting
without artillery.
If the Boer campaigning is so insig-
nificant, why is it that no more British
troops are allowed to leave South African
Why has Kitchener, the most accom-
plished butcher known to modern war
fare, been put in command OF her mai
esty's forces, having ordered home the
newspaper correspondents SO that he
may carry on his work Of murder and
devastation in silenceP Why is it that
England is manifesting SO much spleen
and chagrin over the wild enthusiasm
everywhere displayed in France in the
I -
receptions given to President KrugerP
Why is there SO much anxiety in Down
ing street lest the pacific czar may die
