EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The financial issue this year can
neither be concealed nor eliminated.
The people will vote upon II In Novem-
her; and he who believes in sound
money and wants to see it maintained
should vote for the sound money candi-
date.-Washington Star.
Our American man with the hoe has
enriched with his blood a thousand
battlehelds from Concord to Manila
and always for human progress and
freedom. His sons rule the nation and
direct its course as II broadens liberty
from people to people. The sturdy giant
with the hoe. the Atlas of the globe,
laughs and reioices in his strength and
finds his burden light because Of good
and necessary deeds well done. The
soils long-lineaged king knows and
commands his realm. Secure in possess
sion Of labor and rest HES greatest
blessings, he viii not, let his kingdom

neurotlc poets would raise before his
eyes. - Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Mr.. Balfour said In the House OF
Commons recently that arbitration be-
tween Great Britain and the Trans
lvaal Republic was not applicable in the
present circumstances. After that any
talk about urging the president to me-
date or intervene is an imperti-
hence. It was an impertinence before.
/ Intervention is war. Do men of peace
want the president to go TO war? There
Is nothing else he can do in South Az

Natives Report They Have Left Glands
Laagte District.
London, April 1s.-A Ladysmith
special. dated April 16, says that
natives report that the Beers in Eland 3
Laagte have retired beyond Biggars-
berg. This information tends to con-
firm the report that the Beers blew up
three important colliers, near Vessels
Mex, completely destroying the same.
A Cape Town dispatch says nearly
5000 horses have landed there since
April Is. which indicates that every
effort is being made to remedy great
defect in the British organization.
The chief Boer delegate, Fisher, ac-
companied by DIR. Leyds, visited the
president of the Dutch cabinet today at
The Hague, but the doings of the dele
gates create little speculation in Eng
land.
Frederick Villiers, the veteran war
correspondent, who arrived at South
ampton today from the front, said he
believed that the worst of the war is
over, but that guerrilla warfare will
continue for some time.
A bulletin issued at Pretoria, April
13, reports that the burghers captured
500 slaughtered oxen at Wepener, and
that General Froneman that day de-
feated the British, causing them to fly
in the direction of Wolverport, appar-
emily over the Orange river.
