MARCH OF THE
DIFFERENT
BIG COLUMNS

London, Jan. 31.-Spencer Wilkinson,
reviewing the military situation in the
Morning Post, says: Here is again a
remarkable scarcity of information about
what is taking place in the seat of war.
There must be more than 100 correspond
ents at the front but they are kept silent.
''The column under General Kelly
Kenny has occupied Thebus, about ninety
miles by railway from Colesburg, where
General French is operating and about
five miles from Stormsberg Junction
where the Beers opposed to General Cat
acre are believed to be. The strength of
General Kely-Kenny's column is not told.
but as that officer commands the sixth
division, the whole of which has reached
Capetown, and as there is no word of any
part of it having gone to Natal, the pro-
liability is that the column is identical
with the division.
"At any rate it is hoped that this is the
case and that the last has been heard OF
breaking up divisions into fragments.
The dispatch Of this column, it must be
presumed, must be strong enough to carry
on independent operations, portends
much. If the sixth division is at nhebus,
BILE of turning the balance in Natal. Lady
smith, then, is not to be relieved. It's
garrison must hold out as long as possi-
BILE, or make desperate attempt to fight
it's way out, unless, indeed, General Bull
Ter with such forces as he has, tries a
third time to drive back the Boer army
This discussion implies that the war
will be prolonged and that the Beers are
to be given time to push their advantage
in Natal. They will try to overcome Sir
George Whites force and to take the Of
fensive against General Butler, whose
army they would in that case perhaps be
able to hold by putting several parts of
their own more mobile force in position in
his front, flank and rear. General Bull
Ter would then he occupied as long as his
supplies and ammunition lasted.
During these operations the British
forces in Cape Colony and reinforcement is
on the way will be collected into all
army to march through the Free State
If that march could be rapid enough to
produce an effect on the minds of the
Boer commander-in-c chief while General
Buffers force is still occupying him, the
plan might lead to a decisive result but
there can hardly be a start for another
month and march through the Free
State must take a month at least. 1t is
not easy today to fOresee what can hap
pen in Natal. by the end of March.
Meanwhile the mission Of General
Kelly-Kenny does not altogether explain
itself. 1t seems little strange that the
new column should not first have been
sent to the assistance of General French
who has hemmed in force of Beers, but
finds them reinforced from the north.
Anything like division added to Cen
eral French force ought to enable him

The Typewriter and the Eye.

There is the general opinion among
oculists that the eye is much relieved
by the general Introduction Of type
written matter. 4 recent medical work
upon diseases of the eye gives a great
many proofs in substantlation of this
opinion.
The characters are so large on the
keys that there is no appreciable strain
on the vision. and when dexterity is at
tanned the eyes can scarcely be said to
be used at all. \ vast strain is taken
off the eye by writing with the type
writer instead OF the pen, but the adj
vantages of reading the typewriter
matter are even more important from
a medical point of view, and the strain
upon the hands is also slight.
1t IS said that person can work for
eight consecutive hours. with slight in
terruptions, without the hands being
conscious of fatigue. In using the
typewriter the additional labor of TO-
Cusing the eyes calls the muscles into
undue use. and the result is that many
defects of vision which would not
probably bc discovered under normal
conditions are brought to the front

The Silver Republican Position.

Hon. Charles A. Towne. chairman
of the national silver republican COM
mittee recently published a most i'm
portant letter in which he outlined
the relative Importance of the issues
of the pending campaign as they ap-
pear to the silver republican. He
says that in his opinion the issues of
imperialism and trusts have tempor-
arily obscured the silver question. and
he points out furthermore that many
of the evils existing in 1896 and which
it was the purpose of the silver plank
in the platform of that year to cure,
have been in q measure relieved by
the remarkable and unprecedented in
crease in the output of gold. He says
that owing to this increase in the out
put of gold the tendency of prices is
to rise, a tendency which it was the
purpose of the democratic party in
1896 to stimulate, and he thinks that
so long as this tendency shall con-
tinue, bimetallists will not object
merely because it is stimulated by
more gold money instead of by more
money of both metals. The bimetal
list cause, he declares, will yet have to
be pressed to victory, but in the i'm
mediate present he does not feel the
monetary situation a menacing one
so far as the purely metallic money
feature is concerned, and for
that reason he holds that the cam
paign will have to be fought on the
new issues in order that the consti
tuition and the republic may not be
overthrown and that there may still
be saved to the people of the country
some measure of industrial liberty
that has so far escaped the monopo-
lizing endeavors of trusts. Mr..
Towne is actively engaged in prepar
ing for the great convention of the
silver republican party at Kansas
City July 4. The most important
features of the program for that con-
vention are the proposed change of
name to Lincoln Republicans" and
the extension of the scope of the
party so as to interest and include
the great patriotic orders of the land.
Rock Island Argus., 1900-05-03
Hanna's opinion of Farmers.

Mark Hanna thinks he has got the
farmers Just where he can handle
them. He evidently does not think
them competent to understand what
he and the trusts are doing with the
farmers of the country. In 1896 he
declined to send speakers to the
county fairs for the following rea-
sons:
The average attendance at a coun-
ty or state fair is a great deal more
interested in the 6-legged calf, the
sword-swallower, the balloon ascen-
sion. the parade of prize stock. the
trotting races and the patchwork ex-
hibit, than the intricacies of the
financial question or the benefit of
high tariff. The people listen to
the speech about three minutes and
then hurry away to buy red lemon
ade."
Mr.. Hanna and his protege, Maj.
Mckinley, had the same idea about
not permitting the people to meddle
with the affairs of the government.
1t would not be surprising if the Nc
Kinley administration set up ''red
lemonade stands at the county fairs
this campaign in order to please the
dear people.

Paris II France.

Paris has always been France. All
the great movements OF the country
have been centered here, whether po-
litical, religious. social, literary or ar
tistic. So that any attempt to trace the
history of the city launches one imme-
diately into the study of the nation.
while an effort TO master the history of
the French people sends one to Paris.
One realizes this particularly when he
comes TO study the lives of her great
men and women. They may have been
born in the south or east or north or
west, but to rise TO the first rank they
were obliged TO seek the capital. 1t
was there they sought instruction,
formed relations. began their careers,
played their parts.-Scribner's

A Chance of a Lifetime
For InvaIids to Get Cured Free of Charge
by Calling on the British Doctors
at No. 1902 Second Avenue,
Before May 80.

A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical in
stitute have, at the urgent solicitation
of large number of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
lished a permanent branch of the in

avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and May 80. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
fiicted, and, under no condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before May so.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee a
cure in every case they undertake. At
the first interview a thorough exami-
nation is made, and, if incurable, you
are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment.
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, varicocele, and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
DIR. E. Valentine Heaton, the chief
consulting surgeon of the institute,

The Question of Economy

Is far reaching and has direct effect
upon the family and community as
the individual. To illustrate, young
lady in one of the Diamond Garment
Cutter schools claimed that she being
so economical in the matter of dress,
having had but one fine and three
plain dresses during the season, that
even learning the Diamond Garment
Cutter system would afford her but
little saving. We will admit that the
lady had been economical. yet when
the facts were obtained, her bills
were about $50 that she might have
saved by using the Diamond Garment
Cutter. There are five sisters in the
family and a saving of the same
amount for each one is $3.50 each
season, or enough to pay house rent,
or in a short time buy a nice home.
An equal amount spent twice a year
by half the people in Rock Island
would amount to over one million
dollars, and yet we wonder why fam
lilies. or even whole communities are
eternally poor.
