FOUR GENERATIONS FOUGHT.
sOp, Father, Grandfather and Great-
{ Grandfather Captured with
Gen. Cronie.

~ don't know OF any better illustra-
tion Of the way the Boer families have
gone into the field" said one of the off,
GERS of the transport Milwaukee,, re-
ports the New Orleans Times-Deino-
rrat, than the fact that we had four
generations in single group among
the prisoners we took with CIonj je to
St. Helena.
st was remarkable party and con-
sisted Of great-grandfather, grand
father, father and son. The boy was
about 1s; his father was 40 or there-
abouts; the grandfather was man Of
so, and the old patriarch of the lot waS
nearly 80. They had all been under
arms in Cronje's laager when it made
its last stand, fighting in different
trenches, and after the surrender they
naturally drifted together. They ex.
cited my interest, and ] talked with
them on several occasions during the
voyage. 1t seemed that they had been
living on one OF the great cattle ranch
es Of the northern veldt, forming one
big household with their women folk,
and knew nothing OF the war until the
order came to turn out for active sery-
ice. OF course, they belonged to the
local commando or military depart
ment, for that section, but it was not a
regularly disciplined organization and
they had never even drilled together.
When the call came the father and son
responded first and joined Cronje's
army. Later on there was another
requisition for troops, and the grand
father shouldered his rife and hurried
to the front. About the time Cronje
started on his last retreat the old great
grandfather got uneasy and set out to
see how his boys as he called them,
were getting along. He arrived just
before the final stand, and, once inside
the 1aager, he couldn't get out; so he
took gun from a dead man and went
to fighting along with the rest of the
family. m. -..
THE four Beers struck me as good.
honest, simple-minded men. They had
no idea whatever Of the causes of the
war, the principles involved or the rela:
tive strength Of the two sides. All they
knew was that the :rooineks' were try.
ing to invade the republic and that
Dom Paul had called on them to come
out and fight. The whole crowd were
fatalists of the deepest dye. They
we're prisoners Of war on strange
ship, sailing away to part of the world
as unknown to them as the mountains
OF the moon, but they accepted the sit
uation as stoically as so many Turks.
I asked the grandfather how he
thought it would all end. God knows,
he replied, calmly, But don't you ex-
pect to get back to your home and fam
lily again?' inquired. God knows he
repeated, and went on smoking his
pipe" .............-.

BANKERS ALARMED.

At the meeting of the Bankers Association,
at Abiline, the other day, Scott Hopkins, of the
First National Bank of Horton, read paper in
which, among other things, he reviewed the
growth of the trusts. He said that $40 per
cent. of the capital stock of such companies is
actual value the rest is water" Continuing,
he says: "This contest has reached the point
where absolute supremacy or the humiliation
of monopoly, in whatever garment it may be
clothed, is foregone conclusion. We
are rushing to that point in our history when,
by proper legislation, we must control these
great engines of modern existence; otherwise,
the alternative of STATE SOCIALISM will be-
come an imperative choice"

GLINTS FROM THE Fl. SCOTT LANTERN

The Cuban postal frauds are no worse than
the embalmed beef fraud, war-ship fraud, Porto
Rican tariff fraud Manila railroad fraud, ma
tonal bank trust fraud. armor- plate fraud and
host of other frauds of the Mckinley (Hanna)
administration
The Eastern Democrats may as we'll under
stand first as last that the West will not sane
ton any compromise for second place on the
ticket. The nominee must be as sound on the
issues of the day as is Bryan. There is no ne
cessity for changing the ticket already named.
Even the management of American end of
the Paris exposition is reeking with rottenness
and hold-ups. Mr. Peck is of the true McKin-
ley (Hanna) stripe. Not only has he worked
most of his relations into fat jobs, but has lined
his own pockets by levying black;nail upon
American exhibitors. Isn't it a nice mess the
sanity Mckinley has given us?
Was I.ncolna "calamity -howlet' and ''alarm-
ist?" Read this: GAS result of the war,
CORPORATIONS have been enthroned and an era
of corruption will follow, and the money power
of the country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudices of the
people until all wealth is aggregated in few
hands and the republic is destroyed" Isn't
that prophesy coming true? Is Mark Hanna's
little man Mack anything more than the servile
tool of the corporations and money power? Is
there anything in common between the first
great Republican president Abraham Lincoln,
and the present gang of treasury-looters?
A few years ago, Secretary Herbert, of the
navy department, made a most careful and ex-
haustive report upon the manufacture Of armor
plate and i'll that report, demonstrated that the
Harveyzed armor plate can be manufactured
and sold to the government at profit at $I92 a
ton, yet, Hanna and his gang in congress are
trying to force through a measure that will
compel the government to submit to the rob-
berries of the steel trust and pay $3.50 or more
per ton for this plate and are blocking every
measure calculated to protect the govern .nent.
The secret of the whole matter is that the Re-
publcans, headed by Mark Hanna, propose to
stand by the great corporations as against the
government and the people, so that their cam
paign fund may be practically unlimited.

A HAVANA editor writes the following for his
paper: "Durng the previous era, when Cuba's
neck was CALLED by the yoke of Spanish despo-
tisln the island had constitution under which
the people enjoyed home rule, and under which
all the public Offices could only be held by ma
sided certain length of time in the island.
No governor general or chief-of-customs would
have dared to violate the spirit of the consttu-
ton by nominating foreigner to public office.
But, thanks to the glorious revolution which
freed Cuba from Spain's rule, to-day there is no
constitution nor law save the sabre, and the
latter is supreme"

AT the bankers meeting at Abiline, c. Q.
Chandler, president of the National Bank of
Commerce, read paper on estate Funds, and
What to Do With Them" in which he advo-
Gated a policy which, if adopted, would cut
State Treasurer Grimes out of the interest on
the state money, which he has in the Topeka
banks. Mr.. Chandler's plan is that the state
advertise for bids every year for the handling Of
the states's money, the bids to be open to any
bank in the state, and those who offer to pay
the largest rate of interest to be given the
money. Of course this would not suit the Null
vanes and other Topeka bankers, and they may
be expected to fight the plan.

bacco trusts had him lobbying with congress
