JULIUS HINES g. SON.
BALTIMORE, MD. Dept. 900.

Much interest is daily manifesting
tself over the English-3oer war as is
readily seen by readers who anxiousy
receive their papers at the post Office and
at once begin to inform themselves and
discuss the situation. They all, at this
place, save one or two, sympathize hearth
ly with the Beers, SO heartily, indeed, that
their victories awaken more interest and
give more pleasure by far than news Of
PHILIPPINE defeats does. While it is quite
true that a new feeling of friendliness for
Great Britain has been developed in
America because of her attitude during
our trouble with Spain, there should be
no mistake about the view taken by our
people of the South African business.
Were Americans not to decide with the
Beers they would be false to the principles
and traditions which are at the heart of
our national life. The cold facts OF this
struggle is that England is on robber
raid in Africa-on raid to destroy
peoples liberty in order that she may at
leisure plunder them OF their gold and
diamond mines in the interest OF the
European Goulds, Rockefeller etc, who
have made so many millions out of the
country that they are infiamed by their
greed to demand all. This colony of in
telligent settlers bidding defiance to Brit
ish dictation and taking mp arms to fight
and die in defense of their liberties is but
the echo of Henrys words which still
burns in the heart of an American, ':give
me liberty, or give me death" We
would have to unlearn the Declaration OF
Independence and forget our own history
with England before we could refrain from
Gliding with these people who are fighting
for their native land and liberty Just as
America did.
Twenty-Five thousand pension
claims have been filed as result of
the Spanish war and the pension
agent resumes his oily smile.
An appeal has been made to the
Postal Commission for reduction of
letter postage to l cent, and the es-
tablishment of cheap parcels post.
There is also a protest against paying
the railroad an average of $35,094
annually for each of the 92l cars
used, whereas for passenger cars the
amount is only $l0,520. The differ
ence looks like Il scheme to bleed
the government.
When the people become enlihgt-
ened enough to have the govern
ment operate the railroads under
strict civil service laws, they can
expect cent postage rate on pay
ing basis and have their letters
brought to their door in rural dis
tricts and villages, also.

Johannesburg as It Is Today.

An Eastern paper gives an account
OF Johannesburg as it was last Sum-
mer. 1t says it was splendid mod
ern city of 100000 inhabitants, with
banks, stores, beautiful residences,
hotels, one of which has a wrought
iron veranda which cost $60,000,
fine churches and clubhouse. 1t
was an Uitlander city. the outgrowth
of the fabulously rich mines at that
point. A perfect panic seemed to
seize the people when the war broke
out, in such an exodus as has rarely
been seen in modern times. Men
and women left everything-homes
elegantly furnished, splendid
banks, clubs and stores-and fed.
To-day the business houses are
boarded up and the grass is growing

Editors OF German-American pa
psrs in ten States of the Central
West met at Chicago last week to
confer over the matter Of forwarding
general German opposition to the
re-election of President Mckinley.
These particular editors are against
him because of Imperialism and the
apparent English sympatbies Of
the Administration in the case Of the
Boer war. The significance of the
conference lies in the fact that many
of the editors supported Mr.. McKin-
ley in 1896. and it is generally ad-
mitted that the German detection
from the Democracy on account Of
the silver issue carried Illinois and
possibly Wisconsin and Indiana for
the Republicans in that contest.

1t is announced that on his death
bed Rev. Gibson, who was pastor
of Emanuel church. San Francisco,
at the time Blanche Lamont and
Minnie Williams were so foully MUIR
dered, confessed that he committed
the awful deeds. Theodore Durrant
was tried, convicted. and hung for
those crimes, Gibson being one Of
the principle witnesses against him.
The final disclosure is another pow
erful argument against capital pun
ishment. particularly in cases where
convictions are secured on circum-
stancial evidence. The So called
detectives" who manufacture evi.
dence in cases of this kind should be
arrested and the same justice meted
out to them that they secured for
their victim.
Since the above was in type the
reported confession of Gibson has
been denied by the San Francisco
papers. and the story is denounced
as fabrication.

A Supposed Murderer Caught.

A few days ago the Sheriff of
Nevaro county came here in search
OF white man whom he wanted as
a suspect for foul murder com
mitted near Corsicana. He had
traced the man to this city, but
failed to find him. He offered 4 $25
reward for him and told the officers
to look out as he was satisfied the
man would turn up here soon. Last
night Sheriff Edwards made a
search for him in the resorts about
town, and caught him in the Swan
poodle resort known as the "Box-
car" The Sheriff of Nevatro had
returned here and was with Ed
wards when the capture was made.
We learn that the circumstance for
which the charge of murder is
lodged against the man embraces
the following facts. The man cap
tured was last seen with the MUIR
dered man who owned a wagon and
team. The two were fast friends,
camping about the town of Corsi.
cana. The man who owned the
wagon and horses was killed and
his body was weighted down with
iron bolts and thrown into an
artificial lake near Corsicana, some
boys in swimming found the corpse
and reported it. It was learned
then that the man captured here
had sold the wagon and
team and even settled a 5000 board
bill the murdered man owed. The
Sheriff says the circumstancial ev.
idence is strong and he believes he
has the right man in the one he
cap tured here.
