Poor old Queen Victoria! In
her declining days she is having
more than her share of trouble.
She has been a good queen-as
queens go-and we believe has
tried to steer the people into bet
ter ways. But uneasy lies the
head that wears a CROWN" and
we very much believe that before
the frosted head of Queen Vic
toria is laid away in it's
last resting place it's fading
eyes will see the downfall
of boasted English power, a
scattering of those elements oil
strength that have made Brit
ain great. Her colonial system
will be her undoing. Already
the vast majority of her citizen
ship are deploring the course ol
self-aggrandizement that has
plunged the land into devastat-
ing war; already her people are
crying out against spending mil.
lions of dollars to depress one o
her dependencies while hundred
of thousands of people in an
other dependency are dying o
starvation. And yet, there ar
in this grand republic of the Unit
ed States, men who are planning
and scheming to place this coun
try in the same position. The,
are not the common people, no
1.-THE producers; but the specula

Governor Roosevelt made a
bad break when he declared in a
public speech that all Democrats
were towards, lawless and cor
rupt. OF course, the Governor
knows better than this, and it
was only his tongue that ran
away with him, but his words
are likely to prove as great a
curse to him as Burchard's fam

ONLY A FARMER, AND NOTHING
MORE.

The following tribute to the
farming class was delivered by
Hon. Webster Davis in an ad-
dress before the State Conven-
tions at Fort Scott. 1t is a
truthful and merited tribute to
that class of our citizenship
which is every day being more
universally recognized as the
mainstay of the Republic.
"Not long ago in the capital OF
our republic I took occasion to
tell of the heroism and chivalry
OF the fighting Boer, when a Brit
ish sympathizer remarked %, he
is onl, a farmer and nothing
more Then I thought of the
men who in the long ago planted
the first germs of civilization in
South Africa, whose fathers fol
lowed William the Silent when he
wrested liberty from the hand of
the Spanish tyrant, and 1 re-
membered they were only farmers
and nothing more. And who
was it that fought the wild
beasts and the still wilder saw
ages of that mysterious land in
order to lay the foundation of
two splendid republics, for the
happiness of their posterity. 1t
was only farmers and nothing
more.
"Ah yes, it was only a farmer
and nothing more, who climbed
the steep sides of the Majuba hill
to drive from it's summit the SOL
diers OF British tyranny and op-
preston, and who at Bronkhurst
Spruit, and Laing's Mex, fought
like chivalrous knights OF old for
liberty, Justice and equality.
''It was only farmer and
nothing more who at Spion's
Kop performed deeds of valor
unsurpassed in the annals war,
who, leaping like a panther from
boulder to boulder, ascended
that hill amid a fearful storm ol
leaden hail, and covered it's sum
NIT with wounded and dying
British, and hurled the survivors
back across the Tugela river.

nothing more who in the EN-
bankments of Modder river will
but 5000 comrades, with only
four cannon and two Maxims
for six days held in check th'
flower of the British army con

mand of the greatest general o
the British empire, with 100 o
the greatest cannon to be fount
in all the world, but finally yield
