extend the courtesles OF the city In

On the fftieth anniversary of their

O'Connor. "Mr. Gladstone went over

also point to the fact that Mrs. Glad

The mystery enveloping the fate of

not been explained officially at midnight.
General French ought to have reached
Waterfall Tuesday or Wednesday. and
to have released at least 5000 prison
ers, if only 1000 were carried east by the
Beers. But General Roberts has re-
manned silent respecting this import
ant detail. The motive OF the Beers
in taking off the prisoners is obvious.
While the prisoners are with them
there win be less risk Of starving out
the Beers themselves by the seizure Of
Komatipoort or the investment Of Ly-
denburg. They are hostages for the
protection of the burghers against
starvation. and increase their resources

not unlikely since Germany and

as clearly as anything could be
that we must give up following after
the chimeras of western production
and come down to the rational
conclusion that no amalgamation of
varionsly-colored lights will produce
4 satisfactory composite with which
we can ever succeed in national cleo
tons. That our party made several
mistakes IN the year 1900 must be
admitted by all fair minds. We be-
lleve 1T to be equally true that the
party will not fail to profit in the flu
ture by those mistakes; they are being
daily exploited and we hope that
Democrats will not become bored by
the many opinions aud advisors that
are springing up. Sometimes a wise
man profits by the suggestion of a
fool, aud we for one are not just yet
inclined to beg a surcease from ven

MUST TAKE ANOTHER TAcK.

The CITIZEN believed, and does SO
still, that the dangers to which thi.
country is threatened by the impe
realistic tendencies of the party in
power are of the gravest Importance
to American citizens and lovers Of
Republican institutions. But it seems
from the result of the recent election
that our party's position upon this
subject hardly met with the approval
OF the people. 1t was philanthropic,
beautifully humane and charitable.
but it was a most inexpedient politi
Cal policy. There was no way
previous to November the 9th of
telling how the people would ta6e
to the theme, but we are satisfied
that the Democratic party was on.
OF tune with the people of the
country in sympathizing with Agui-
naldo and Dom Paul and splitting at
Great Britain. The people of America
are thought to be wholly CONNER
cial and business people-or, rather,
were so supposed, previous to the
war with Spaip; but we know now
and, pity tits so, the world knows
that we are a martial people as well.
Americans are born fighters, whether
it be in politics, church or town
council, and the assumption that
they wanted to stop "scrapping"
either in the Philippines, South
Africa or China was not well founded.
At least, so it appears to us by the
result of the recent events.
