THE TUGELa BATTLE.
Boston Transcript.

DRfN'A AeANAAlHAs
An engagement Of such proportion as
TO deserve TO be called a battle must be
close al hand In Natal. Gen. Butler has
got at least two of his divisions across
the Tugea and can not be more than
twelve on fourteen miles from Lady
smith, He has been constantly working
TO his left FOR some days past, but
whether he intends to sweep around
and enyelop Ladysmith, or whether he

to withdraw their forces from around
Ladysmith. either to get back into their
own country anyway or TO attempt 10
wrest their lines OF communication
away from Butler.

The LOCAL LIVING TOPIC.

Reports from the dlstrlc, schools OF
this city show that the majority OF
parents are opposed to the scheme by
which the Board Of Health and o por-
ton OF the Board Of Education are en-
deayorlng to force vaccination upon
their children. Among the number
admitted to the schools because they
have certificates Of vaccination. are a
great many whose parents are opposed
to the practice but who have yielded to
the mandate issued. Some Of them
have bowed to the notion that what the
family physician orders must be COM
piled with. Including all these, It Is
still evident that compulsory VAGINA
ton is resented by the masses OF the
people.
The Deseret News, during this con-
test. has represented the views and
feelings OF the great body OF the citi-
gems, not only In this city but through
out the State, One Of the objects In
view OF the majority Of the settlers IN
these valleys in coming to this once
desolate region, was that they might
raise up a pure posteritysound in mind,
healthy In body and uncontaminated
with the vices. corruptlons and dis
eases Of modern civilization. There
are no healthier people In the world.
The majority OF them endeavor to con-
form to what IL known 9s the Word Of
Wisdom, which gives divine directions
as to diet and hygiene, They naturally
shrink from the practice adopted In
many countries OF putting animal dis
ease into the pure bodies OF their on
spring. under any preteSt whatever.
or course there are Intelligent. edu-
Gated and influential men and women
who have become convinced that vac
cination Is what has been claimed in the
medical world as preventive Of small
pox. They have, perhaps, observed IN
Their own experience the decline OF that
disease since vaccination has been In
troduced. While they may be entirely
mistaken in attributing to cause and
effect that which is but coincidence and
traceable to sanitary and hyeienlc reg
uations, their opinions are entitled to
respect, and II they choose to resort TO
the now widely disputed practice Of
vaccination, that Is their right and they
are at least to some extent in the fash

But there Is a natural and constitutions

versal practice OF that fraternity. which
they succeeded In forcing upon the peo-
pie by law. Any physician who pointed
out It's evils was not considered 'repu-

college honors, in learning ana In social
standing; he was ridiculed and bounded
by the medical associations.

1t Is really no wonder that so many
people refuse TO submit themselves and
their children TO surgical operation not
required by law, and on the merits Of
Which medical opinion is divided. The
fact Is that there are many rumors Of
suffering in consequence Of vaccination,
and some OF them are said to be well
substantiated, People do not care TO
talk about their own experiences in
this regard, most Of the victims be-
lieying In the virtue Of the operation;
but they cannot conceal the facts from
neighbors.

Two purposes are apparently involved
In the movement independent OF the

turn the right flank Of the Boer line
the other is 10 cut off the communica-
ton OF the Free Staters by selling OF
destroying the Harrismith railroad. In
attempting 10 accomplish these objects
the British army has abandoned tht
line OF the railroad leading from Colen-
so to Ladysmith and is accompanied by
a transport train comprising 5000 vehi-
cles. A large force stationed at Colen'

check, and still another located at OF

the Afrikander army.

There seems TO be some worry In
Great Britain over the presence Of

probability is that Mr. Davis, who Is
absent on leave, is merely figuring on
some private enterprise in South Africa
by which he hopes to make a fortune
when the war Is over.

odds were $50 to SO on the horse and
