like a Frenchman He says these Beers
are descendants of the Dutchmen who
flooded their own country three hundred
years ago to repel foreign inva der, and
we may naturally expect them to blow
up underground mines when another
foreign invader threat tens their capital.
It takes Frenchman indeed to find
any analogy between these two acts.
Flooding. Holland offered obstacles to an
invading force undoubtedly. But how
could the destruction of map or ma

affect the advance of the British on
Pretoria? It could not affect the adj

be simple act of wanton and brutal
vindication and revengeful destruction
of property-nothing. more, nothing less.
The Frenchman put this in very
clear light when he went on to snow
that the stock in these mines was more
largely owned by Frenchmen and other
Europeans than by Englishmen The

The way to avert this act of vandalism
which will have its effect upon the
whole civilized world, is for French, Ger

their protest with Kruger against any
such act as he threatens. It will be

LET BRornEnLY [ LOVE CONTINUE

1t is not long until Virginia will be in
and almost everybody, save the poiiti-
clans, looks forward to that time with
dread. Some have said that there Will
be no excitement this year, but all such
is the business of the politicians TO agi-
tate and to make the campaign as ex-
citing as possible. The stump speakers
will go around and tell the voters that
this will he the most important election
that ever was held, and that if this side
or that side does not win the whole coun-
try Will go to destruction. Virsinians
love political excitement, and it does not
require any very great efforts in Presi-
Dental campaign on the part of the stump
speakers to arouse them. But we do
sincerely hope that there will be no such
bitterness as was manifested in the cam
paign of 1896. There is no occasion for it.
1t Is worse than foolish for the white
people Of Virginia, who are harmonious
people. who think alike upon, most public
questions. who have the good of the State
and the good of the country at heart.
who are patriotic to the core, We say
that it isSworse than foolish for these
virginians to fall out and quarrel and
fight about national politics.
In the campaign Of 1886 men who had

feeling for each other, fell out and
stopped visiting each other and stepped
speaking to each other, and made them
selves dlsagreeable and unhappy, and for
what? Because one of them believed that
the ln;nts Of this country should be
opened to the free coinage of silver at l6
to i, and the other did not. The Etlver
question will not be much discussed this
year, but there will be imperialism and
trusts, and Virginians will differ as to
the policy which the government should
pursue. But let 1t be good natured
difference Of opinion. Let US not have
another campaign of bitterness in Vir-
ginia. Old Virginia friendship is worth
all the ma ional politics from the founda-=
ton Of the Republic until the close of
the campaign Of 1900.

Ing comparisons between the assessor nts
in the country districts and those in the
cities of Virginia we have not meant to
draw odious distinctions AS we said in a
previous article, the taxpayers in the
country are just as honest, man for man,
as the taxpayers IN town. But we have
been trying to show by printing these
comparative statements that the whole
system of taxation in Virginia is out OF
joint, that taxation is very far from be-
ing equal and uniform, and that what is
needed is modefnized system which will
bring about, as far as possible, IN equali-
cation Of the tax burden.
/, We believe that this can only be nc-5
complisfcd by having tax commission
appointed, whose members will study the
whole question and investigate it in all
Its ramifcations. bringing to their aid the
experience of experts in other States, who
have made this question the study Of 4
lifetime. Our complaint against the last!
Legislature is this: A bill was introduced
mission, and another was offered by
Senator Glass to inaugurate the inspec-
ton system. the object of the two bills
taken together, being to give system
of uniform assessments and system Of
uniform collections. But these two meas
ures were voted down, and instead a bill
was passed to create assistants 70 the
commissioners of the revenue, to be paid
an enormous percentage in addition to
the percentage to be collected by the
commissioners Of the revenue, with the
specific command to Investigate the pri-
waite affairs of certain class of tax.
payers, leaving the old slip-shod system
for the State at large to remain in Etatu
tirely new system; what she got was u
measure that will increase the burden of
a few and put them to no end OF annoy
ance, while Tightening the burden OF
none, and making taxation less than ever
equal and uniform. .
On Saturday last the Commissioner of
Valuation for the City of Alexandra.
went to a banker and demanded to know
how much money certain taxpayer
had to his credit in that bank. The
banker refused to give the information,
and SO he was arrested and sent to jail.
This sort of thing will not do in Virginia.
The Court of Appeals will soon pass upon
the law, and the best lawyers in the
State agree that the measure will be pro-
nounced by that court to be unconsEtu-
tional.

A Great Ranch Enterprise.
ord.

An interesting experiment in con
ducting western ranch will be tried
this winter, says Detroit dispatch to
the Chicago Record. 1t will be tried
in Lower California and Mexico by
Michigan people. Many of the old
rauching methods will be done away
with and in their place strictly novel
aud up-to-d ideas will be put in
operation. The ranch is controlled by
J. Dudley Morton of Pontiac, and his
uncle, T. Morris Flower, who has been
rauching in Lower California for sew
eral years. Mr.. Flower is nephew Of
the late Roswell p. Fowler of New
York, and Mr.. Morton a grand nephew.
The two ranchmen have secured con
troll of 10000 acres of land just across
the border from the state of Califor-
MIA. The property is seventy five miles
from San Diego aud thirty miles from
Ensenada, Mex, the nearest town. 1t
is situated in a valley, almost sur
rounded by mountains, is fertile and
we'll watered. Large quantities of grain
will be raised, 500 acres already hav-
ing been sowed, but the main industry
will be stock raising. In addition to
this the ranch will possess one of the
largest poultry runs west of the Mis-
sissippi river. The most modern in
cubator plant will be installed for this
portion of the enterprise.
Mohave County miner., 1900-11-24

The ranch will be supplied with all
the conveniences possible, A unique
feature of it will be the placing Of sew
eral searchlights on the mountains
overlooking the ranch, thus replacing
the old system of night riding to pre-
vent thieving. The tender of each
light will be armed with a lOng-range
rife and will also be provided with
signal code by which be can fash in
formation to the other light tenders
and any one who may be ont among
the cattle. Each light tender will also
have at hand a telephone connected
with the main ranch, the pushing of
the button ringing an alarm bell. All
parts of the ranch will be provided
with telephone stations and an electric
light plant will be installed at the
ranch, all of the buildings being illu-
minated by electricity.

Evidently the heavy storms of last
spring influenced a great many of the
mines in the Cripple Creek district to
discontinue the use of steam, aud
thereby prevent the risk of being shut
down in the case of a repetition of
such storms as we're experienced in the
district during the latter part Of April
Last. The number of contracts that
are being made for electric current
lead to this conclusion. The Colorado
Electric Power Company, whose gen
Grating station is at Canon City, aud
principal office in this city, is extreme
ly busy installing new hOisting plants,
etc, and the same report is made by
other electrical concerns. Some of the
mines that have recently secured cleo
trio hoisting plants from the Colorado
company are the Little Frank S. Gold
Mining Company. the Hart Gold Min
ing and Leasing Company, the Mercer,
Shell a Fitch lease on the Jack Rab-
/ bit; the O'Hara and Bort lease: Reed

been closed for lighting the Stratton
properties, which in itself j. equal to
the business of good sized village.
One of the most i'm mpOrtant announce
ments that has been made in some time
is that within the next sixty days this
company will have the much-talked of
electric drill in operation throughout
the district. The introduction of this
style Of drill promises to revolutionize
mining operations in the district, for
it il claimed that the new drill will per.
NIT a saving of 80 per cent in running
cost, while maintaining a much higher
degree of efficiency at work. In ad
dition To these considerations, still a
third aud very important one i to be
mentioned-the ease with which the
electrical drill may be transported to
any portion Of mine. Points under
ground where the more cum mbers ONE
machine drill is not able to reach. will
be readily accessible with this new
drill, as the apparatus can be packed
up aud carried by two miners to any
portion of mine. Electricity has GER,
tainly been a boon to the Cripple Creek
district. and has greatly aided in has,
teuing its development.-Denver Rec.
