"Blood is thicker than water"
Yes, so it is. But is that any rea-
son why blood relation should be
upheld in iniquity? Is it any rea-
son why a man or woman of Eng
lish descent should cheer for Eng
land in her present course of spolia-
ton and conquest in South Africa?
The question of right or wrong has
some bearings here as we'll as the
question of blood relationship.

Swecpings.

What's done you can't mend.
What's left you can.
Every failure teaches man
something, if he will learn.
Real valour consists not in be-
ing insensible TO danger, but in be-
ing prompt to confront and dis
arm it.
Selfishness is that detestable vice
which no one will forgive in 9th
ers, and no one is without in him
self.
Many man thinks he is look
ing at truth when he is only look
ing at the spectaoles he has put on
to SEQ with.
Human nature will not flourish
any more than potato, if it be
planted and replanted, for too long
series of generations in the same
soil.
Many man thinks it is virtue
that keeps him from turning rascal
whom it is only full stomach.
One should be careful and not mis-
take potatoes for principles.

FRANCE IN THE TRANsVAAL.
Some Interesting Facts on the Trade
of Those Countries.

Some of the reasons as to why the French
are interested in the South African af-
fairs are given in report made on the
Subject to the State Department by John c.
Covert, United States Consul at Lyons.
In part he says
Interest in this subject is enhanced by
the expressed opinion that the Beers will
be inclined to favor France as against 9th
er countries when the war is over also on
account of The large interest that French
men possess in Transvaal mines cir
cular signed by the great economist and
Editor Paul Leroy Beaulieu afiirms that
the French possess not less than $500 600 -
600 in Transvaai mining property and that
the French. German, and Dutch stockhold-
ers own probably more than half of the
mines.
The French Consul at Pretoria asserts
that France does not enjoy the share in the
commerce OF the TransVaal which the we'll
known sympathy of the Beers for France
ought to assure OF $51 l45 600 of impor-
tations. France only supplies 81 3S4. 000 in
leather $1I2 09G in fashionable goods S71-
201 of satins
The consul states that in 1898 the
Beers imported guns. swords. carbines
pistols. cartridges. lead. zinc. powder.
caps fusees. etc. to the value of nearly
1886 600. 1t is probable that several times
this sum was imported in arms, of which
no account was taken.
The Beers have built at Zuurfontein a
dynamite factory, which in 1898 produced
900. 600 cases OF explosives, the greater part
of which was sold to mining companies.
uI, 60
the manufacture OF these explosives comes
from abroad, large portion from Ger
many The consul points out that the
country cannot produce the raw material
necessary for the manufacture of these
commodities. and that the demand for
them in the mines is destined 10 greatly
increase. The yield of gold in 1895 was
SIS. .361, 600 an increase of 500. .131. .000. The
mines give employment TO e,S06 hands,
and their net profits in 1898 were SIS, S5S,
coo. The diamond product of 1898 was
s210 900 against S55500 in 1897
The French Consul points out that.
during 1898. S., ,223 900 of coal were taken
out of the Transvaal coal mines and that
the capacities of the mines are infinitely
beyond the consumption. He says that:
When we shall have built railroads in
Madagascar ii will not be necessary 10
import coal from Europe. as the Transvaal
companies now find it difficult to dispose
of their product
French stockholders in the Transvaal
mines are moving for a combination of
German, Dutch, and French interests.
The foundation of the movement is the be-
lief that if the English are victorious the
cost of the war will be taxed upon the
mines: that if the fortunes of war incline
to the side of the Beers. heavy tax may
be imposed upon outside stockholders,
which acknowledgements wish TO avoid"
The evening times., 1900-02-05

Senator Deboe is quoted in the Wash
ington correspondence of the New York
Tribune" as saying that he does not believe
the shooting of Governor Goebel was pre-
meditated and that he is 'as much in
clined to think that it was done by a
Goebelite, or some personal enemy of Mr..
Goebel as that il was done by one of his
political enemies" +" IF the Senator is cor
rectly reported. we are at loss to under
stand upon what basis of published fact lie
is able to form such an opinion.
II is admitted that for some days rre-
ceding the crime the Executive Building in
Frankfort, a few steps from the State
House, had been gsrrisoned by consider
able number of Taylors supporters from
the mountains of Laurel Clay, whitley,
ana adjacent counties; and that they were
armed with rifles and were conducting
themselves in drunken and riotous man
ner. If, as Senator Deboe is Represented
TO think possible there were "Geebeliies"
in this garrison, it would be rather strange,
TO say the least. and almost equally SO TO
assume that any personal enemies" were
included among the meuntaineers, not one
of whom probably ever saw their victim
before coming 10 Frankfort. Thst there
were personal enemies of Mr.. Goebel in the
building is not doubted, bat they were coz
