WHAT BECAME OF THE GUNs7
Mystery Surrounds the Dfsappear-
ance of the Beers Heavy Cam
non In South Africa.

Now that the war in South Africa
is nearly over, it would be interesting
to know what became of those cele-
brated 'long toms" and other big
siege guns which made life in the be-
sieged cities of Ladysmith, Kimberley
and Mafeking so uncomfortable for
awhile. These guns seem to have fallen
off the earth. While the Beers were
in command of the railways of the re-
gion it would have been easy enough
for them TO have spirited the guns
away, but in the close of the fights
the British fell upon the retreating
farmers with an energy which cut
them off from the railways near the
besieged cities that had been SO har-
assed by the guns. Now, where are
the guns?
1t is morally certain that all the
big siege gums which kept people awake
nights at Kimberley, Mafeking and
Lacysmith were not carried to where
the remnants of the Boer army are
fighting. Neither at Paardeberg, La
dysmith. Kimberley o Mafeking was
one of these celebrated guns captured.
What has become of them is one of
the problems which Lord Roberts is
trying to figure out. It is not at all
probable that the Beers had a heavier
gun in their siege train than a FIVE
inch piece. That is the caliber of an
ordinary siege gun. That they did have
guns of that caliber, or nearly hat
seems certain from the accounts re-
ceived during the war of the artillery
duels between the British naval -four
point seven" guns and the big siege
guns of the Beers. The fitting" of
these heavy guns seems almost mex
plicable. The British believe that
the Beers have hidden them away
somewhere in the vast territory which
has been fought over and are looking
for them assiduously, but SO far with
out success.
Though the guns of the Creusot
pattern are lighter. it is said, in pro-
portion to their caliber than the older
type they cannot be of much less
weight, and in the old type the wheels
of a siege carriage alone weighed over
$50 pounds. Then there is all the par
aphernalia which goes with a siege
gun, all weighing heavily. To cause
the disappearance Of all this heavy
material so that no trace of it can be
found is a marvellous piece of work.
For awhile Dom" Paul persuaded his
followers that miracles were being
worked for the benefit of the Beers,
but the British never believed in a
special Gsp~ensation for Mr.. Kruger
until they realized that they could not
find the big siege guns. The n
in which they were spirited away was
marvellous. If anyone should see a
Boer walking about with a siege train
in his possession a suitable reward will
be paid by Gen. Roberts, provided the
Boer will tell how he did it.

the law of the land. and to enforce
law is the duty of the American peo-
pie, regardless of party. Opposition
to it now means nothing less than dis
credit to American honor and encour-
agement of resistance to American
effort to restore order and establish
law in legally acquired American ter
ritory-territory acquired by treaty,
the ratification of which Mr.. Bryan
went out of his way to advise.
For my part, I do not intend to
agree, in the face of all evidence to
the contrary, that the American peo-
pie, or even any respectable political
party in America, is capable of max
ing vassals and slaves of the %Filipinos,
or that the American people or any
respectable political party in my coun-
try are aiders or abettors in any
scheme of conquest. I am not apollo
giving for the republican party. The
Philippine policy is not the policy of
the republican party alone; Mr.. Bryan
does that party entirely too much
honor in giving it so much credit.
Yet, on the strength of what has been
done, and well done, and ON what is
about to be done, and ought to have
been done in the Philippines, Mr..
Bryan bases his speech of acceptance,
~contending that the whole thing
means conquest, and that this coun-
try is bent on a deliberate scheme
tending inevitably toward imperial
ism.
Mr.. Bryan ignores such men as Sem
ator Morgan, and pays so little re-
spect to the intelligent public as to
presume that they will join him in
an ~unceasing TRADE against expan-
sion, and that he can denominate as
the paramount" question the effort
of America to restore order in its le-
gally acquired possessions by sup
pressing the most groundless insur-
rection known to history. He says
the democratic platform authorizes
him to make this the paramount
question. Yes, but it must be remem
bered that since 1896 there has been
but one democratic candidate for
president who from the outset has
been making speeches assuming that
this country was OF the high road to
imperialism. The masses were indif-
ferent, and did not take this as a Sc
rious matter. for they knew that the
tendency all over the world. even in
~monarchies, is more liberty for the
people. In u country, where they
ve.e and make our laws and shape
our policy, they are not troubled
about imperialism. So the whole
thing went by default at Kansas
City, and imperialism, the bogy
Matched from the mares nest discov-
cred by Bryan, was put in the plat
form and is now gravely held up by
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-10-05
him as a thing of terror to frighten

him as a thing OF terror to brighten
the American people as so many cred
ulous children. Any democrat has a
right to protest against this ense-
less issue being thrust on a great his
toric party as a paramount issue
merely because Mr.. Bryan, at the ex-
pense of the greatest and most glar-
ing personal inconsistency, wishes it
done.
Can it be willfulness in Mr.. Bryan
or is it due to defective reasoning in
him to ignore all evidence and reason
and contend that his country has un-
worthy purposes to make conquest OF
islands and vassals of their people?
In q nightmare of apprehension he
cries out: ST amp not willing that this
nation shall cast aside the omnipotent
weapon of physical warfare!" The
way to find out the truth as to
whether this country is Selling the
weapon of physical warfare in the
Philippines is to ascertain what wit
nesses who have Investigated the
facts and know them say about it.
The most reliable witnesses are the
members of the Philippine commits
sion. That commission was composed
of democrats as well as republicans,
and some of its members were against
expansion. They were all men of
high character, acting under oath
and on honor, and of this war they
said:
"Deplorable as val is, the one in
which we are now engaged was un-
avoidable by us. We were attacked
by a bold, adventurous and enthusi-
astic army. No alternative was left
us except ig~nominious retreat"
This statement is their verdict, and
goes into history as the truth, and

THE GREAT SHAM ISSUE.
ante DOGGY of Impe-
rfaIixm.

Since Mr.. Bryan has been telling
people everywhere that our country
paid $3.50 a head for Filipinos I have
not expected much in the shape of a
solid or candid argument from him.
Only a few days since, in his own
town of Lincoln. he made in a speech
a statement which he had made be-
fore, and which he had had time to
repent of. as follows:
"The republican party, which was
not willing that a black man should
be sold for $1,000, now claims that a
Filipino can be bought for $3.50. The
principle is exactly the same"
That statement of Mr.. Bryan's was
based on the payment of $50, 900 900 to
Spain for the Philippine islands by
the treaty of Paris. He further said:
'This nation had no more right, as a
nation, to claim ownership of s,O00,-
600 Filipinos than one man has a right
to claim ownership of another man."
This argument of his means that SOW
ereignty, or the right to maintain
law and order, carries with it owner
ship of the persons for whom laws
are made and enforced. Hence it fol-
lows, all people subject to government
are slaves. Mr.. Bryan knows that the
treaty of Paris was not a party meas
ure, for it was favored by two-thirds
of the senate. and he admits he ad-
vised its ratification. The policy of
this government in dealing with its
new dependency is the outcome of
the trtaty of Paris. That treaty is

GRAND JURIES ARE USELESS.
A PHILADELPHIA Criminal Court Judge
Regards the System as q Relic
of Past Ages.

In discharging the August grand
jury a few days ago Judge Bergy in
the criminal court made an unusual
address to that body, the tenor of
which was that he believed grand ju-
ries had become obsolete institutions
anG. should be abolished, their powers
reverting TO the judges of the GRIM
inal courts, says the Philadelphia
Times.
As he expressed himself, it is his
belief that such bodies are no longer
any protection to citizens in any way
whatever, and that, in fact, they tend
ed to interfere with the administra-
ton of justice, acting as they do as
censors of the minor criminal judi
ciary.
Taking into consideration the pro-
general against dishonest officials and
inefficient judges, to say hat the ad-
dress created surprise among his hear
ers is putting the matter mildly. He
objected most strenuously to the Sc
crecy surrounding the deliberations Of
grand juries and continued:
IF there was no grand jury the
bills of Indictment could be prepared
by the district attorney and brought
into court and openly tried. The pub
lie could see all that was to be pre-
scented against the accused, and il
the evidence cid not warrant the find
ing of a truebill the presiding judge
would instruct the petit jury to ac-
quit.
1T would put every man charged
with an offense on trial before a jury
in open court, where the public could
see and know what was going on. In
doing this 1 don't see where any in
Justice could be done.
Grand juries are a matter of great
expense not alone in this city, but in
every county in the state. 1t is one
of the relics of the past to which we
have become deeply attached, as is
only natural with all such ancient Gus
toms.
AS before stated, / think it is a
subject which would bear investiga-
ton on the part of those having such
matters in charge. / don't mean any
f~ault-fn6ing with the law, but we may
ask the question whether the social
conditions exist now which require
the service of the grand jury as in
the past-that is, whether the safety
of the citizens demands it."
