The recent appointment Of a stenos
rapher at $1,000 a year, as authorized
by the house committee on accounts
recalls the fact that there are now
three stenographers employed by the
lower branch of congress who draw as
much money for salary as members OF
the house or senate. In what other
country does a member OF the highest
legislative body and shorthand
writer draw the same pay? 1t is ad.
mitted that while congress Is in session
these stenographers, at $100 a week,
have a great deal of work to do, but for
a portion of each year they have moth
ing to do. The committee report au.
thorizing the third high-priced stenog-
rapher says: During the present ses-
sion of congress the demand upon the
two stenographers has been greater
than usual. On many days six com
mittees required their services. 1t is
becoming more and more the custom to
report the proceedings of committees

then taken has proved of great value in

other things:
What may, what can, we colonial
Africanders do in this sorrowful timer
Join in the work of warfare with the
weapons? The law and our duty az
British subjects forbid this, even
should other circumstances not oppose
such course of action.
But what neither the law nor the
duty Of the subject forbids, and what,
moreover. agrees in every respect with
all principles of religion and human
ity, is the offering of help to the
wounded. to the widows and the
orphans"
In the name of the Africander bond =
on behalf of the citizens of the South
African republic and their noble ally,
the Orange Free State, l appeal to all
Americans to show their sympathy
with the brave people who are now.

that they are, and all that they hope

forefathers in 1776 and 1912. THERE
