The 'tImperialis4n' issue is bother
ing the Western Democratic chief
tains. They have discovered, what
they ought to have known all along,
that large majority of their party
in this section are ''imDerialists"
themselves. A flag-furler in the West
is so rare that he is a curiosity. This
issue is disastrous to Bryan's chances.
There is a strong probability that
Bryan was warned against the i'm
perialiSm" trap by eX-Gov. Stone, of
Missouri, and other leaders of the
Western end of their party. Stone,
it will be remembered, was an eX-
IRENE ''imperialist" about year ago
So was Altgeld. Bryan. however, had
his way OH this issue as he did on
free silver. and he forced both follies
on his convention. There will be no
mourning by Stone or the rest of the
Democratic leaders at Bryan's eXtir-
patton in the election--St. Louis

Advantages OF Colonies.

English colonies are E%ngland's best
customers. During the last ten years
the total trade between the United
Kingdom and her colonies amounted
to almost nine billions of dollars.
Notwithstanding the fact that Eng
land draws so enormously upon her
colonies for raw material with which
TO make her manufactured goods,
such as wool from Australia, almost
one-half of the entire trade consisted
of exports produced in British facto-
ries. They exceeded in value, by near
ly $50 per cent the exports from the
United Kingdom to the United States
within the same period.

Eynnusjou for Farmers

Frank II. Hitchcock, chief of the
section of foreign markets in the de-
partmcnt of agriculture, says that the
American farmer as well as the Amer
lean manufactures is reaping the
benefits of expansion. He adds: we
are searching the world Over to find
new markets in order that the Ameri-
can farmer may have a reader and
more profitable sale for his products.
Our control of the markets of Cuba
and Porto Rico will mean money in
the pockets of our farmers. Under
normal condition these two islands
purchase annually $4,000, 900 worth of
agricultural produce, chiefly bread
stuffs and provisions, and practically
all of this trade should come from the
United States

CHRONOLOGY OF THE SIEGE.
Began October II, Ended May IL
---Boer Assaults.

Began October IA, Ended May 10
---Boer Assaults.
Boer forces isolated the town on Oc-
tober IA. Thus, the siege lasted 213
days, ending on May 16.
Baden-Powell's fighters numbered
at first about 1900 men, all irregulars
except a few officers. He had eight
guns, six of them machine. Seven
hundred white women and children
and 1000 blacks were also hemmed in.
The besieging force has varied from
1000 to 5000.
Cronie first attacked Mafeking on
October Is, following up the d~estruc-
ton of an armored tram at Kraaipan,
below the town. Repulse with heavy
loss was the result. Heavy guns were
brought out and bombardment began.
A fierce assault on October 81 was flu
tile, both sides losing heavily. Weeks
of "sniping'' and intermittent bonn
bardment eliminated December 20 in
an unsuccessful British sally against
Game Tree Fort. Twenty-one of the
garrison were killed, and thereafter
Baden-Powell remained on the defen-
sive.
Colonel Plumer, with 1000 men from
Rhodesia, moving south to raise the
siege, got within fourteen miles of the
town on March 16, but was beaten
back by the Beers, led by Snyman.
Lord Roberts sent word that relief
would arrive by May IS, and a column
of 5000 men is believed to have left
Kimberley early this month to fulfill
the promise.
Ever since January all in Mafeking
have been on reduced rations. Life
has been supported by means of horse
and mule meat, soup made from the
animals skin, and porridge c%oncocted
frorl fodder oats. Six ounces of bread,
q quart of soup and two quarts of por'
ridge was the daily ration a month
ago.
Casualties in the towns fighting
force up to April 90 totaled 240, in
Guiding sixty-six killed and 49,
wounded. Deaths from disease add
fully sixty more, making n 20 per cent
loss during the siege. The deaths
among non-combatants probably mum
Der 100 more.
To meet the peculiar ~exigencies o.
the situation, Baden-Powell ISSUED
paper currency and postage stamps
The ~resourceful commander also built
q gun of steel plate to supplement his
slender outfit of cannon, which com
prised one weapon made in the las
century. He had thrown his defense
lines far out, thus preventing a con
ccntration of heavy fire OIL a small
space, which would soon have knocked
the town TO pieces.

A Woru OF Warning.

Democratic prophets are basing pre-
dictions of success on the fact that
the republicans by %enacting sound
money legislation, in obedience to sol
emn pledges, have made free silver
legislation impossible; hence the gold
democrats can safely vote with the
silverites, as the latter, while they
talk silver for political effect, al en-
act no legislation. The dark days Of
1898 and the hard times of 1896 are
not so far away, however. Both bust
ness men and labor know that threat
ened legislation is almost as destruc-
tive % prosperity as the actual pass
age of vicious laws.

Sp.oking of the California wo,

Speaking of the California wool
market, the last annual report of the
San Francisco chamber of commerce,
dated January 16, said: "The old
stock which had been carried from
the free tariff times has all been
worked off, and today we stand on a
solid basis. as we have no more wool
in the United States than we can
use" How different this is from the
"free tariff times" when foreign shod-
dy goods were sold in the American
market and there was no demand for
American wool grown by American
farmers.
