London, March -4-9:15 p. MT is
officially announced that Lord Roberts
has occupied BIOemfontein and that
the British flag is flying from the top
Of the capitol.
London, March 4-The following is
the text of Lord Roberts dispatch to
the War Office announcing his occupa-
tion of BloemfOntein:
"BIoemfontein. March -3.-S p. M
By the help of God and by the bravery
of Her Majesty's soldiers, the troops
under my command have taken posses
sion of BloemfOntein. The British flag
now flies over ihe Presidency, evacu-
ated last evening by Mr.. Steyn, late
President of the Orange Free State.
Mr. Frazer member of the late execu-
tive government; the mayor, the secre-
tary of the late government; the Land
rost and other officials met me two
miles from the town and presented me
with the keys of the public offices. The
enemy have withdrawn from the neigh
borhood and all seems quiet. The in
habitants of BlOemfOntein gave the
troops a cordial welcome"
London, March ia dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Rloemfontein, dated
Tuesday evening at Z o'clock, says: We
surprised and out-flanked the enemy
with irresistible force over night. General
of Bloemfontein while Lord Roberts dis
patched a prisoner on parole, threatening
to lombard unless the city surrendered.
The tOWnsmen became alarmed. President
Steyn and the chief members of the Exc
cutive Council fled and proclaimed
Kroonstadt to be the capital. Steyn fed
to Winburg. At last only 5000 fighting
men remained. and, in the morning, many,
finding themselves so weakened, broke
their guns. Others fed. The remnant still
shelled General French at dawn but the
opposition soon collapsed. Eight locomo-
tives and much rolling stock were cap
tured The Boer organization is collapsing
and the breach between the Free Staters
and the Transvaalers is widening. Major
General Prettylnan has been appointed
military governor of BIoemfontein. Lord
Roberts and his staff have ridden through
the town and been everywhere cheered.
The British national anthem was enthus'
iasticaIIy sung by the populations; the
shops are gladly opening and there Is
general rejoicing"
London, March I4.-Mafeking can
scarcely hold out much longer. The
news Of Colonel PIumer's approach has
given substance to the rumOrs of its
relief, but those best informed are in
clined to think the relief is more like
Iy to be accomplished by Colonel Peak
mans column from Kim mberley. Private
advices have set forth that. Colonel
Plumer had almost given up hope Of
accomplishing anything more than har-
RAISING the Beers. though since these
were written it ;s possible thst the
diminished numbers of the investing
forces may have rendered Plumer's
task more feasible.

LORD ROBERTS AND HIS TROOPS
OCCUPY THE TOWN.
Z he British Flag Now Flying from the
Top of the Capitol-The Iphabi-
tants of the City Give the Troops n
Cordial welcome-Crowds of Peo-
ple Parade the Str eets of London
Singing Patriotic Songs.

London, March 5-4:5o a. m.-The
first half Uf the campaign is over. Lord
Roberts arrived at Modder River on
February 9Th. He entered Bloemfon-
tein on March 18th. Thus, in a little
over a month he had effected the relief
of Kimberley and Ladysmith, the cap
ture of General Cronje's forces and the
hosting Of the British flag in the capi
tai Of the Free State. All this has been
accomplished with comparatively
trif1ing losses.
1t is small wonder that he is the hero
Of the hour in England. All the news
papers eulogize him and congratulate
the country. They talk Of the Free
State as having passed out Of existence
and as being now one of the shadows
of history.
1t is not doubted there may yet be
heavy fighting, but the genius of Lord
Roberts is looked to for victory over
all difficulties. His grim reference to
the late" President Steyn is under
stood to show that there shall be no
ambiguity as to the position assumed
toward the republics. The fact that
Mr.. Frazer, late chairman of the Free
State Raad and leader of the opposition
to Mr.. Steyn, came with the deputation
to surrender the keys, is regarded as
extremely significant of considerable
differences of opinion among the Free
Staters regarding the war.
1t is said that President Kruger hates
Mr. Frazer on account Of his sympathy
with the Outlanders. The demOnstra-
tions of the Bloemfontein inhabitants
are also regarded as a good auguTy for
the future of British supremacy.
It is interesting, in connection with
the rapid advance Of Lord Roberts, to
learn that the Russian military attache
with the Beers who were captured by
the British sent the following telegram
to the Gear:
'I am perfectly amazed at the energy
in action and the endurance of the Brit
ish infantry. I need say no more"
There is still no news as to whether
Lord Roberts has captured any rolling
stock. If he has not, then he will be
obliged to wait until the repairing of
the bridges over the Orange river ena-
bles him to bring rolling stock up.
The British continue pressing their
advance on the Orange river. The
Beers still hold Bethulie bridge, on
the north side Of the stream, but their
trenches are dominated by the British
artillery. Heavy firing is in progress,
and there has been some skirmishng.
Lord Kitchener seems to be very sue
cessful in reducing the extent Of the
Dutch rising.

TWO PARTICULAR PETS.

The Virginlan-Pilot, seeking ut all
times those things that will benefit
this port, has two very particular pet
hobbies that it feels proud to acknowl-
edge.
The first Isl: Local Industrial ad-
vancement and improvements; and the
second: A guarantee to Democrats OF
the choice OF their candidates.
Given the first, the second does not
always follow. Without the first, the
second would be of little value. Per-
manent prosperity and honest govern
ment go hand in hand
Let us see. 1t is with great difficulty
n badly governed, overtaxcd city.
Sometimes local advantages are such
that nature herself makes the excep-
ton possible. Hence. though progress
blossoms like the rose, there may be
underneath it u foul atmosphere of
profits of the business. If not the bust
ness itself. Sometimes even capitalists
mistake the cause of their prosperity,
and attribute it to artificial causes Gre
ated by government and thus the pol
iticians. like the devil. hiding behind
the beautiful Marguerite, reap the ben
efits, while the mscd capitalist, in the
long run, suffers. Politicians gather
around prosperity. for the "scrapings
and leavngs' are greater and the
chances" more frequent. Hence pros
perity itself may fall into the error Of
accepting a temporary help" from pol
iticians. only to find. later, that it is
but n bait.
We have already shown that capt.
tai cannot long remain intact and
fruitful without good government any
more than 1t will prosper under bad
business management. a theft directly
or indirectly from the city does no
more harm. financially, than bad judg-
ment on the part of its officers, except
from a moral standpoint.
SO. permanent prosperity, and honest,
pure government. run hand in hand.
In order to obtain this condition, the
men who make n success of their own
business should be urged and pcrsuad-
ed to help make n success OF the gov
eminent. When business men wake up
to this, there will be more permanent
prosperity, less spasmodc rising and
falling of values, and little or no
grumbling.

THE RESIGNATION OF MIR. DEY.

The resignation OF Mr.. w. w. Dey
as chairman of the City Executive
Democratic Committee Is most COM
mendable act on his part; and the vir-
glnian-Pilot is as prompt to praise him
for the step taken as it was to con.
denim him for his vote against MIR.
Stands, the local government, and the
white people Of Isle of Wight, South
ampton and Nanscmond counties.
Mr.. Dey is q candidate for reelection
to the Office of Commissioner of the
Revenue. He has opposition. 1t is pro-
per, becoming and meet, therefore, that
some disinterested Democrat should be
the party manager.
The NirginianPi Pilot called to the at
tenton of Hon. ]. Taylor Ellyson, the
unfair advantage he was taking of his
opponents in the late gubernatorial
fight. But since the people laid him
quite low last time, it is probable he
will profit by experiences
People, generally. love fair play. A
crowd of street-gamins will turn
against the bully who maltreats the
smaller boy. This spirit pervades the
American breast, excepting Wall street.
1t is also human, and extends the world
over, excepting the money-centres. AL
though the continuation of the Boer war
is costly to American interests. there
is a deep sympathy outside OF Wall
street and the money-centres for the
little Republic sought to be ovcrpow-
cred by the great English Lion.
Mr.. Dey, then, has done sensible.
as we'll as polite, thing. AS chair
man of the party, and member of the
State Executive Committee, he volun-
tarily placed himself I'm a position of
trust. Except as to his vote, referred
to, and his silence regarding primaries
in the late Legislative fight, he has
made good chairman, and deserves
the thanks of the party.
In any event, we thank him for set
ting an example to Mr.. Ellyson.

HARBOR DISTRACTIONS.

The Harbor OF this Port is the goose
that lays the golden egg. For the sake
OF some local industry, shall we allow
this valuable goose to be killed. We
think not. The conl industry of the
Port is something enormous. The cities
would suffer by its departure. But will
not commerce suffer much more by the
entire loss of the shipping?
Nor is it necessary that such be the
case. There is plenty of room up and
down the Elizabeth and in Hampton
Roads for the merchant and coal fleet
to anchor without dropping right down
in the main channel, and stopping
everybody else.
Let the Harbor Board take this mat
ter up in earnest. Let there be passed
and posted rules and regulations for
the guidance of all anchored boats.
1t is so in New York and should be so
here
Only recently several serious and
costly accidents have resulted from COL
lislons caused by boats being anchored
in the channel
1t is most sincerely to be hoped that
in the future ample assurance will be
given all incoming and outgoing boats
of a safe entry and exit.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY Is. 1900.
DO WE BELIEVE I'm THE
PARTY LASH9

We believe in the party lash" most
earnestly and honestly. This will
sound inconsistent TO unthinking per-
sons. but not to others. The Virginian-
Pilot has never raised It's voice against
the party ticket, even when nomina-
tons had been FORCED UPON THE
PEOPLE, but, on the contrary, has
counseled the people mot to punish the
party for what few would1be leaders
have done" Everybody knows this.
Then what has this paper been com
planning about? 1t is the MODE of
nomination. Let us understand each
other. When man goes into q pri-
mary, submits his choice to the arbi-
4 trament of fair and honest primary,
he is rs honorably bound to vote for
the choice of the majority as the other
fellow would have been to vote for his
choice had he been selected.
~ But Democrats had fair choice?
MOST ASSUREDLY NOT During the
last legislative fight. the Executive
Committee of this city ruthlessly laid
its (then) strong hand upon the head
of the primary and crushed ii out of
existence. Now was The Virginian-p Pilot
dissatisfied at that because of the prin-
ciple of the thing, or because It was III
favor of Mr.. Tyler for Senator? LET
the files OF the paper at that time
speak for themselves. We said: at is
a principle the Executive Committee
is killing. For its own ends it is
crushing out free choice of the people,
but it must answer for what it has
DONE"
a This paper. therefore, believes in the
party lash, when the party has not
been disfranchised by a lot OF politi-
clans who have promised away their
position, manly duty and honesty to-
wards the Democrats who selected
them.
This fight is over with. and the les
sons taught have been potent and ef-
fective. The State Executive Commit
tee has been punished. and reversed.
II should resign. The City Executive
Committee should also resign, as its
chairman has done. Confidence will
then be restored, and party unity will
be guaranteed. a primary under Il
disintcrested committee will justify the
party lash.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

The Virglnian-Pilot has at heart the
industrial development of this port. Its
progress within The last five years has
been something phenomenal in the pro-
sress Of the world. With a jump and a
stride the twin cities have sprung to
tile front with n leap that is astound-
ing
1t only needs few manufacturing
industries. and Wholesale houses. TO
complete the work. Let the Board OF
Trade take up this subject and do
something to forward the work Say
what one will, all the industries here
have come, OF their vulition. except by
the help OF n few leading spirits, These
men have made money by their enter
prise. So it is no charity work that is
asked OF our people. Let there be a
