publication. there is a strong DISPOSE
ton to believe that favorable informa-
tiOn has been received but is being
withheld until the operations culmi-
nate in something more conclusive.
There is an equally strong disposition
to think that Gen. Cronjc has got
away.
Owing to the lack of transports, the
British are not likely to invade Boer
territory except where Lord Roberts
is operating. Gen. Butler will have to
stop at the DrakenSberg mountains.
Probably a part Of his 40, 900 men will
ultimately join the legions of Lord
Roberts.
If, as Gen. Butler AYERS, the Beers
are retreating from him, then the
news on every side is favorable to the
British.
Nevertheless troops continue to go
up from Cape Town and Durham. The
war office thinks thatthe call to veter-
ans to rejoin the colors together with
the bounty, will bring $4,000 men to
the home defence. The urgency with
which home defence is pressed excites
some wonder.

London, Feb. 2l.-Thc great news
of the morning given out by the
war Office was the report from Gen.
Butler that the Beers were retreat
ing along the line from Natal terri
tory and were evidently preparing to
raise the seige of Ladysmith, and
concentrate for the defence Of their
own country against the victorious
troops of Lord Roberts.
From dispatches received at the
war Office, no surprise need be felt
if Lord Roberts occupies BloemfOn-
tein, the capital of the Free States,
very soon. 1t is known here that he
is rapidly forcing his way towards
that city, and the country is favor
able for a rapid advance.
Gen. Clements reports that the
force confronting him has been great
ly diminished. Ten thousand men
are estimated to have gone from the
COlesberg district alone. The Beers
are also retracing their steps from
Zululand. Thus they are relaxing
their hold on all sides in order to
assemble to oppose Lord Roberts.
Nothing has been heard from the
chase of Gen. Cronje for two days.

office were that there was no news for

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

which is to take PLACE June 26. will
witness the prcliminaries of the insur-

1t is not probable that there will be
trouble in controlling some Of the
former insurgents. The business OF the
profess ional revolutionist is to revolt,
and peace affords him no occupation.
Therefore. instead of submitting pa

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.

The Virginian- Pilot wishes to say O.
word in behalf OF the present move
ment towards Sunday Observance. Par
ticularly Is it wished to cali to the aid
of the ministers, citizens of every class.
sect and religious belief. The move
ment now on foot is free from politics
and sectarianism. 1t originated with
God-fearing people. and 1t is sought, by
influence. precept and example. to inn
press upon the community the useful
ness. as we'll as the legal demand and
religious duty. OF properly observing
the one day set apart for rest and
worship.
We would not enter into the argu-
ment of ones duty to observe the Sab
bath. II the gentle influence OF the
mothers teaching. and the persuasive
and earnest eloquence of the ministers
of the Gospel cannot carry conviction,
it were idle to add our feeble effort.
But let it be said in behalf of Sunday
observance. that the most prosperous,
the most happy and contented people
are those who sacredly devote one day
in the week to rest and worship. 1t
tends to take away ones mind and at
tcntion from business and the dull cares
of everyday existence; to elevate ones
thoughts to the purer atmosphere of
gcntility, tranquility and peace.
The gentle spirit of peace seems to
pervade all existence, coming like a
blessing. and crying: peace be to all
the world"
1t is more n matter of the mind and
heart and inclination than otherwise.
hence 1t is SO often desecrated. What
ever day one may select, Is his own
And he should be protected In its OBJ
servance. The breach of the law is not
committed by the low and criminal
alone. Many good citizen has shock
ed himself and felt the warm blood Of
guilt and accusation rush to his cheeks
upon realizing that he has unthought-
edly caused a breach himself, and In
so doing shocked the feelings of others.
This is n world and an age OF liberal
ideas. The law Is as strict i'm its etatu-
tory requirements and as difficult to en-
force, but the remedy is easy where
the law prevails. A public feeling pro-
perly impressed will guarantee the en-
forcement of the statutes.
1t Is in the higher walks OF life where
thoughtlessness. not crime, causes the
breach. 1t ds In this sphere that good
work is now being done. This commu-
nifty is made up of Church going" peo-
pie. 1t is n grand sight to behold the
thousands of good citizens vending
their way to and from church.
Let us then Join with the ministers
OF the Gospel in their good work. and
not leave 1t all upon their shoulders.

1t is asserted that two results of the

the destruction of the local trust in
builders supplies and the concentration
of all building in the hands of Il few
large contractors. The demand of the

supposed. for shorter hours or higher
wages. but for the right to limit the
amount of work which any man may do
in n day; and the right of the walking
delegate to transfer workmen from one
job to another without the consent Of
the contractor.
