body not excluding Kruger that the
Beers cannot hope to do anything more
than delay the advance Of the British.
British numbers are too overwhelming
to permit OF effective resistance on the
part Of the Beers, and In view of this
Kruger may yet conclude 10 surrender
without more fighting.
The Portland daily press., 1900-05-22

The statement of the London News
that Kruger had 'humbly sued for peace
turns out a falsehood. 1t was an unlikely
story on its face, for Kruger is not the
man to do anything humbly, and his
cause though undoubtedly destined to be
lost is not yet in extremis. Still
sometimes men in the face of disaster
act very differently from what they think
they will act when yet the disaster il
still far off or there is good prospect OF
averting it, II Kruger lives up to his
past proclamations he will seek the last

HANDWRITING EXPERTS.
Boston Herald

The handwriting experts get another
bad setback in the case of u man who has
lust been hardened out of the Georgia
penitentiary by President Mckinley, and
who had been convicted of the crime OF
sending Objectionable matter through
the mails 1t appears that this man was
convicted by the testimony of two hand
writing experts, and, after he was sent
to the penitentiary, the objectionable
letters continued to pass through the
mails in the same handwriting. Final
ly the police arrested another man, and
he was convicted by the same expert tes-
timony. The attorney general, in com
mony In this case, points out how abso-
lutely unreliable the deductions of thess
experts may be, and the injustice OF de
pending upon such evidence in convict.
Ing suspected persons. His point would
seem to be well taken, and 1t might b
made to cover other kinds OF expert testi
mony than that relating to the subject
of handwriting.
THE INJUNCTION BUSINSS.
(Boston Advertiser.)
While many labor interests are dissatis
fled with injunctions as used TO further
the interests of capital against labor,
they might bear in mind the fact that
the injunction Is a weapon which may be
used not merely in the interests OF any
one party or set of individuals. For ex'
ample, there is a possibility that II tht
labor interests so desire, they can Gauss
some embarrassment to the trusts by this
very weapon. The law of the nation pro
hibits any restraint of trade In interstate
commerce. There Is not large trusts In
this country which does not restrain
trade In Interstate commerce. The labor
interests could easily secure proof Of that
fact. Armed with such proof they could
90 to the federal courts and obtain In
functions against any Of the most unpop
ular trusts. So long as the injunction II
apart of the legal processes Of the coun
try, 1t would be far wiser to attempt tc
use that process than to endeavor to defy
it. Gen. Grant was wise when he init
mated that the way to get rid OF any un
just legal process was not by defying it
but by making such use Of it as would
disconcert any special interests that had
previously profited by it.

CONCERNING the EXPOSITION.

Houston is in dead, sober earnest over
me proposition to at once lnaugurate
great Industrial exposition and live stock
show with all the features Of splendid
State fair.
The first step IN the organization OF the
movement was taken al the Capitol Hotel
meeting Tuesday evening. The creation
OF committees to report on location. sub
scription 10 capital stock and plans OF
organization was provided for By empow-
ering Chairman MacGregor to appoint
them at discretion. These committees are
TO report 10 an adjourned meeting to be
called when they shall have completed
their several functions. This puts the
enterprise on the threshold OF organiza-
ton and success in practical way.
On the liberality which shall be ac-
corded the COMMITTEES on subscriptions VIII
depend the basis for success In keen
ipg With Houston's greatness and boastei
public spirit. Every man can help alonc
and as he meets this substantial test on
individual community pride so will be
measured his progressive interest in a
movement that will shower Its golden
benefits on all alike-without favor OF
discrimination.
The coast country is developing rapidly
but Il needs spur to attain the mag
niacent development demanded by its
resources. An Industrial exposition and
live stock show will provide that spur. as
nothing else can.
