Retreat OF the Beers,

The retreat of the Beers from Natal
when the enemy's combined forces
came too close to the Boer positions
seems to have been a contingency thai
had been foreseen and arranged for by
the Transvaal army. 1t is likely thai
the Boer forces will concentrate at
some northern point for a second stand
if they succeed in averting a decisive
conflict with the British, who are press
ing them on the retreat. The campaign,
so far, has been one of obstruction up
on the part of the Beers. While they
punished the British terribly, the Beers
failed to capture either garrison upon
which their efforts have been concen-
trated. and in abandoning their posi-
tons in Natal can be said to have sur
rendered all the advantages heretofore
gained. Their campaign of obstruction
may be repeated in another region, but
in the end the enemy will march into
Pretoria. Germany is evidently not 60
ing to lift a hand to save the Transvaal
government, and no other country in
Europe has an interest in the matter.

A Sure Thinu' in Kentucky.

Editor Watterson of Kentucky, hay
ing drawn the Louisville & Nashville
Railway Company into a controversy
with regard to the Kentucky campaign
the railway management has given tc
the press a letter which Colonel Wat
terson wrote to the general manager OF
the road while trying to scare the com
pany into supporting Goebel before the
election. One sentence of the letter
shows what a sure-thing gam was
fixed up for the people of Kentucky.
Waeterson wrote: 1.-The Democratic
state ticket just nominated will surely
be elected. Under the operation of the
Goebel law the result is not left to
chance"
The Courier-Journal denounced the
Goebel law as Infamous, when it was
passed, but when the author of the
became a candidate for gov
ernor Watterson and his paper not only
stood in for the election Of Goebel, but
the editor wrote to the railway mana
Sci W assure nlHl IndI II was lfnpOS-
sible to be defeated under that law.
Watterson and Goebel knew that it was
barely possible that the opposition
might poll the most votes if the schemes
to control the election machinery did
work out satisfactorily enough to
overcome a popular protest against the
nominee, but the law provided further
measures in leaving the result to a
state election board to consider, and if
this board should not resort to trick
cry, then the legislature could have the
last say. AS Goebel was a senator and
had a combination in that body, he was
sure of winning. Colonel Watterson
the case very clearly. But the
railway people had been the especial
object of attack from Goebel, and they
voted and worked for the election of
Taylor.

Republican Until 1906.

If every United States senator cho.
sen between now and March 4, 1906
should be a Democrat, then the Demo.
cratic party might have a majority, ant
not until then, in the senate, and go il
for repeating the Dingley tariff law
n when the financial bill has become
a law it is bound to stand until 1906
anyway, unless the senators who voted
for it change their ideas and vote for a
repeal of the law, or die and give place
to a free silver majority. Unless every
senator chosen between this date and
March 4. 1906. be a free silver man, the
financial law will remain for six years.
Therefore, the election of a free silver
candidate for president this year could
not alter the operation of the gold
standard law. The president cannot
evade a law 50 plain as the act which
congress will pass.

Santa Fe the Place.

The Albuquerque Commercial Club
held a meeting this week and passed
resolutions asking Delegate Perea to
urge the establishment of a military
post at that city. The scheme is a good
one, but when the matter has been
urged sufficiently to attract the atten-
ton of the wal department to the ad-
visibility of keeping more troops in the
southwest it car easily be seen hat the
old post here may be re~-established
more cheaply, and the buildings owned
by the government utilized. Some re-
pairing would be necessary, but that is
a small matter to the government. Of
course, Albuquerque is only anxious to
have a post somewhere at an accessi-
BILE point in the territory, and would not
be unhappy if the soldiers were quar-
tered at the capital.

Some Americans Hard 10 Understand

In a speech before a club in New York
recently a member of President Me-
Kfnley's cabinet, Attorney General
Griggs said: "It is hard to understand
why the presence of our flag anywhere
on the face of the globe should give Of
Tense to some Americans, especially
when all the rest Of the world seems
content about it. The truth is hat the
world perceives, and has perceived
sooner than some of our own people.
that the United States of America has
become a great world power, not by
any special process Of election or choice.
but by growth, development and an ex-
tension of her domain of territory, as
well as of trade, into regions where we
must encounter the rivalries and at the
same time shall claim our share of the
privileges that pertain to the dominant
powers in administering the affairs of
the orient" AS the speaker said. II Ia
hard to understand why there is oppo-
sitiOn, but it is of little use to assign
motives for the opposition of those who
are sincere and not Influenced by polit-
ical desires. What will be, will be. The
die Is cast, and the Philippine country
cannot be permitted to go wrong, as 1t
would IL abandoned.

The Army Canteen.

The army canteen question will not
down. A few days ago President Lillian
Stevens, of the Woman's Nationa'
Christian Temperance Union, called
upon President Mckinley with a com
mittee and asked him to abolish the
canteen. The president informed her
that he had twice referred the matter
to the attorney general of the United
States. and had twice been informed of
the legality of the canteen, and that this
decision must be accepted and abided
by until congress should take action.
The government would certainly see
that canteens We're not maintained if
congress opposed them. the president
said. The committee submitted several
hundred letters addressed to him upon
this subject, and stated that Is, 900 petit
tons from churches and societies are
in circulation, asking that the canteens
be suppressed.
