Close of the BOer War.

The dispersion of General DeWet's iso- lated and disorganized force marks beyond reasonable doubt the close of the Boer war. This war was begun one year ago today. and throughout it's entire course it was as heroic on the part of the Boers as it was in reality hopeless. At first great suc- cesses of skillful rifiemen gave the Boers high hopes, but all others saw that when the almost boundless resources of Great Britain were brought into play there could be no chance of success for the handfuls defending the two Boer Republics.
 The success of the Unionists in the Eng fish elections is the last nall in the coffin of the Boers, for 1t pledges all of Eng lands strength to annexation without con- ditons of the two Boer Republics. They are gone from the map beyond recall, and the struggle for independence will survive in song and story and history only. That It will so survive is beyond question; for the struggle was one of the bravest ever made in this world.
 The reported departure of many hundreds of Boers from Lorenzo Marques, the ire conciliables of the war, means a great deal in the future history of Africa It means that the Boers of the two Republics will not submit to British domination as the Boers of Cape Colony have done It means that British rule in South and Central Af- rical is to be complete and unquestloned, and that the stronger personalities among the Boers will leave South Africa and be- gin life elsewhere anew Any domination other than British seems to be acceptable to them.
 The issue between Boer and Briton for supremacy in South Africa could not bo negotiated out. It had to be fought out, costly as the task was to both sides, and years time has ended it, and the Britons will now proceed to construct an African Empire extending from the Cape to Cairo, including of course the gold and diamond fields that played a large part in the re- cent contest.

Area of Cities.

The area of Birmingham is six and one third square miles. This town is one of the smallest in area in the country. Atlanta, according to the national board of fire un- derwriters, has twelve square miles; Aus tin, Texas, sixteen square miles; Chatta- noo5a, fifteen square miles; Memphis, six teen square miles; Nashville, eleven square miles; San Antonio, thirty-siX square miles; Wheeling, West Virginia, twenty eigh. square miles.
 New York covers PA square miles, and Chicago Is supposed to cover 191 square miles. Among the lesser cities some of the extreme cases are: Clinton, Iowa, twenty five square miles; Des Moines, Iowa, fifty six square miles; Duluth Minnesota, sixty seven square miles; Fall River, forty-one square miles; Gloucester, Massachusetts, .hirty-six square miles; Haverhill, Massa- chnsetts, thirty-two square miles; Man chester, New Hampshire, thirty-four square miles: Nashua, New Hampshire, thlrty-.hree square miles; Ogden, Utah, twenty-four square miles; Portland, Ore gen, forty square miles, San Diego. Cali fornia, seventy-fve square miles; Sioux City, Iowa, thirty square miles; Spring field, Massachusetts, thirty-seven square miles; Salt Lake City, fifty-two square miles; Taunton. Massachusetts, forty-two square miles; and Worcester, Massachu- setts, thirty-six square miles.
 If Birmingham extended up and down Jones Valley from East Lake to Bessemer inclusive-a strip nineteen miles long and three miles wide, it's area would be but hfty-scven square miles, which would be less than the present area of Duluth or San Diego or New Orleans. The tendency is towards annexation, and this tendency has been accelerated by census returns, and by q consideration of the subject. There arc few cities as small in area as Birming- ham, the average area of cities possessing 25,00O or more people being about fifteen square miles.

 The Russian war and naval expenses in 1899 amounted to 4o6, 900 roubles. If we count rouble at 75 cents. 1t Is seen that there is one country that is more extraya- gant, more imperial, in it's army and navy expenses and that country is Russia.
 The question is before the people for de- cision. If we want two-hundred-million dollar army and navy, they will re-elect William Mckinley; if they want to return to the figures of 1897, they will elect Will liam Jennings Bryan.

Army and Navy Next Year.

When President Mckinley went into of- flee the expenditures of the War Depart mcnt stood at s4S,O 1000, and of the Navy Department at sSi.OOO 900, total of $S2, ,OOO,- coo In three short years he has succeeded in running this total up to $2OO eOO. 900, or something over double the amount at which it stood in 1897.
 Although the law calls for an army of 26,so0 men after July next. yet the chiefs of bureaus of the War Department are bas- ing all their estimates on an army of 10O- 900 men. and if the Republicans carry the November election that is the size of the army that will be foisted on the country. The trusts really want 100000 men, but they will accept as a compromise 100000 men.
 The estimates for an increase of the navy are to be sel. .0oo.ooo larger than they ever have been before.

THE GREAT NEW SOUTH

From the New York Commercial
 'Let me picture to you,' said Henry Grady in his world-famous speech fourteen years ago before the New England Society of New York, "the footsore Confederate soldier, as buttoning up in his faded gray jacket the parole that was 10 bear testi- mony to his children of his fidelity and his faith he turned his face southward from Appomattox in April, 1865. What does he find? His house in ruins, his farm devas- tated, his slaves set free, his stock killed, his barns empty, his trade destroyed, his money worthless, his social system-feudal in its former magnificence-swept away; his comrades slain, and the burdens of others heavy on his shoulders-without money. credit, employment. material or training"
 It was in ruins and ashes like these that the great New South was born. As devas- tation was never before so overwhelming, never was restoration swifter.
 For nearly two centuries the Old South had staked everything on agriculture and slavery. In thirty-five years the New South has established an industrial and social system absolutely unlike the old, but

AWAY.
By James Whitcomb Riley.

D I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead He is just away! With a cherry smile and a wave of the
 hand
 He has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he fingers there And you-O you. who the widest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return, Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of there as the love of here; And loyal still, as he gave the blows Of his warrior strength to his country's
 foes.
 Mild and gentle as he was brave, When the sweetest love of his life he gave To simple things: Where the violets grew The touches of his hands have stayed As reyerently as his lips have prayed When the little brown thrush that harshly
 chirred
 Was dear to him as the mocling bird; And he pitied as much as a man in pain A writhing honeybee wet with rain. Think of him still as the same. say He is not dead-he is just away.

Galveston's terrible loss in clearings was eleven and one-half millions of dollars, and Houston and New Orleans gained fourteen millions of dollars. This measures in mon- ey the trade loss of the storm in a single month at Galveston, and the distribution of the business elsewhere.
 But the trouble is, New Orleans and the lines leading to it cannot handle the cot ton crop of Texas. Congestion exists all along the line. Facilities are inadequate. The partial elimination of Galveston as a shipping port is severely felt and in the end Texans will come to see that Galveston's facilities must be fully restored-that the Galveston of old is a necessity to the trade of the State. The railroads are striving to restore the terminal facilities of Galveston, but it is scarcely possible to do so fully this season, although each day shows a gain over the previous day. So long as all the Texas railroads are agreed that Gal veston's facilities must be restored, there is no danger that there will not be, but some time must elapse before the great deep water port is itself again.

From the Denison Herald.
 The Houston Post wants the corporation limits of its town extended so as to include all the population that really belongs to the city. The Post is right. Every town In Tex as should have limits to cover all the popu- lation rightfully belonging to it, in justice to the people in the main portion of the city, and to the suburban population. It is of mutual advantage. and before another ten years roll around Densop will have to do some expanding. This city has at least 800 population in one place. around the cot ton mills, that Is out of the city limits, and does not count in our population.

RURAL RUSSIA A LAND OF POVERTY

From Scrlbner 8 Magazine.
 It is in Russia's most fertile districts that the worst famines occur, for famine-a lit tie one every year, a big one every seven years-has now become a regular occur renee. And the country, as one flies across 1t, leaves the general impression of indi- gence. In sharp and painful contrast with western Europe there are virtually no fat stockyards, no cosy farmhouse, no chateau of the local landowner. no squire's hall-pit- iful assembages of men and women just on the hither side of the starvation fine.

 The work of piping water into the big concentrator at Washington camp is progressing rapidly, and it is anti cipated that the machinery will start up again sometime next week.
 The Buckeye Mining Co.,, is the name of corporation formed at Mo- gales last week to take over the Pefla Blanca and other properties of John Maloney's, out in the Peiia Blanca region. Heavy capitalists are infested and they will work the proi critics vigorously.
 The 3uena Vista mining camp, about seven miles from Nogales on the west side of the Patagonia mountains is becoming very lively. About sixty men are now at work on the various claims. Mike Maloney's property is showing up finely. Straith and Zeimet have also fine property. Proto Brothers are working five prospects and have ore in three. Mesrs. King & Hardy also make a good showing. Although mining experts have been prejudiced against the west side of the Patagonias, the properties there seem to go against their predictions, as they all improve as they go down.
