St. Louis Republic.
Former Secretary OF State Foster cor
:ectly points out the prime peril of the
British-Boer war when he says that a
protracted conflict is menacing TO the
peace of Europe inasmuch as it will dis
turb commercial relations and make the
nations FESTIVE under the strain.
This effect has, indeed. been already
felt more than once since hostilities COM
menced. Many thoughtful persons are
convinced that had 1t not been for the
Paris Exposition a clash between France
and England would have been precipi-
tated ere this. Gernany's sympathy for
the Beers, in addition to her trade jeal-
ousy of England, has intensified the anti
British sentiment among the Kaiser S
people. Holland is almost openly antag-
onistic to England in behalf of her kins-
men in South Africa Russia is still be-
lieved to have had, If she has not now,
serious intentions of intervening TO save
the Beers from national extinction.
1t will be remarkable If the war in
South Africa terminates with Europe UNI
disturbed by It's influence There is little
prospect of it's termination within a short
er period than six months. In the mean
time there is no betterment of the feel
ing towards England. There must needs
be some tactful diplomacy during that
period to prevent the European war now
anything but improbable.

HIS FIRST VETO.

The Republican Congresses during
President MeKinley's administration
have either paid strict attention to leg
islative outlines furnished. or have
carefully ascertained beforehand what
would suit the head of the State, for
there has been but one veto message
returned in three years and that very
little one, upsetting the act to ratify
the boundary of the Navajo Indian res
ervation. There must have been a
serious misunderstanding somewhere
in this matter. Instructions have been
ignored. or the usual enquiries
were not made. 1t is to be hoped this
will not occur again.

SIGNIFICANT MOVE OUT WEST.

Things are happening IN political
nature as to cause general and genu-
inc alarm among the Republican lead
ers. Mark Hanna has sent an appeal
to his lieutenants in Nebraska, Kan
sas, Iowa, and adjacent States to
stand fast" but the decided indica-
tions are that .Republicansm, in the
Hanna and administration sense, is
going to pieces out there. and that not
even salt will save the impertalistic
cause and ticket this fall.
The regular Democrats, gold Demo-
Gratis, silver Republicans, Populists,
and that large element in the Repub-
lioan party opposed to Imperialism and
McKinley's policy generally, recently
held an important conference at Kan
sas City. 1t was determined to work
together for a common end. One of
those present was Hon. w. L. Wilson,
of West Virginia. AS a result of the
deliberations twenty men of national
reputation started for various western
political centers to organize the voters
and reconcile all interests opposed to
the administration Their purpose is
to harmonize any differences existing
in all these, elements on the questions
of the day, secure active cooperation
of leaders Who opposed the Democrat
ic ticket in 1896, make arrangements
for the distri button of literature, en-
gage speakers for the campaign. pro-
vide for mass meetings at every point
OF contact between the contending
forces. and in short, solidify the fusion
forces into an a.ualgamation which
will sweep the West for the Democrat

conceived. anG has behind it powerful

NEW MARTINSVILLE, w. Va, May
THE well on the Lloyd Carroll farm,
about two miles south of town, came
in this morning with a good showing
in the first pay in the Keener. This
well is being drilled by j. w. Kauf-
man, Ed. Lappert and some other cap
italists of this city. The report from
the well caused some excitement and
it was not long until oil men were go
ing in that direction. All the territory
has been taken. Foster Leap secured

well at fancy price Mr.. kaufman

and has accumulated some money in

hundred people visited the we'll and
old oil men say that the prospects for
opening up a big field near this city
is most excellent.

WORSE THAN WAR.

A letter from South Africa, publish
ed in some of the papers yesterday
morning, went infinitely and cheerful
ly into the horrors of the present war.
The writer is an English soldier, and
describing a charge upon a Boer posi-
ton, he says the column advanced to
within twenty yards of the enemy, then
halted and fixed bayonets When the
Beers saw the cold steel they threw
down their guns and surrendered.
Then the British advance was re-
sumed, and the writer says it was
fine sticking" Specifically he tells
of "one old fellow" who fell on his
knees and holding up Bible, cried
out: you must not, boss!" 81 jam
med the bayonet in and turned it
around, doing just like the rest. "
This does not appear to be war-it
rather savors of murder. When an
enemy surrenders, that should be the
end of it.

A BUSINESS INNOVATION.

! Great interest has been aroused in
the business world by the announce
ment by Siegel Cooper & Co.. of New
New York and Chicago, of their inten-
| ton to consolidate and incorporate
their enterprises in the two cities nam
ed and to dispose of ten million dol
| lars of stock to the public, while two
millions are to be held in trust, the
annual dividends upon which will be
| divided among employees. The total
capital is to be s24.000,000. of which
s14,250,000 is preferred stock, bearing
6 per cent. cumulative annual divi-
dends, and $4,000 common stock, to
bear 8 per cent. dividends. All shares
are to be of $50 each.
The object to be attained, says the
| management, is to infuse the co-opera-
ton and profit sharing principles into
the business by interesting employees
and customers alike, and they argue
that if $4,000 customers can be induced
to take one or more shares of stock
they will prefer to deal with the stores
in which they are part owners, with
, a consequent large increase in bust
ness, and the certainty of a handsome
return upon the investment made. In
other words they say: Come and buy
share in our business. We will sell
you goods at the lowest market price,
and you will have stock worth par and
the certainty of per cent. annually on
your investment, equal to cash dis
count on your purchases, be they large
! or small"
1t is cooperation upon a large plan.
The subscription books were opened
yesterday. The result will be awaited
with interest by business men.

According to a special telegram to
the New York World from London,
Secretary Roots warning was called
forth by the following facts: The adj
ministration was negotiating with
Denmark for the transfer of the Dan
ish West Indies. The negotiations
were in fair shape, when Germany in
terferred with a demand for naval
station on the island, and gave a
broad intimation that any transfer
must be subject to that condition. In
effect this meant that if the United
States acquired the islands, Germany
would have a footing upon them. Such
a condition was not to be tolerated
for moment by this government, but
as Germany was firm, there was moth
ing to do but stop the Danish negOtia-
tons and call the whole thing Off
But the complication does not end
here Germany can make herself very
disagreeable to Denmark, and will
probably insist upon the naval station
under our noses, so to speak. Denmark
cannot refuse the demand of this pow
erful neighbor, and then, in the Ian
guage> of the street, it will be ''up to
u.s."
What are we going to do about it.?
We must either stand by the Monroe
! doctrine, or-back down.
