THE story attributed to Senator
Garter, Of Montana, who was over
heard telling it to a friend on q
Washington sleeping car that Mr.
Hannas "piece de resistance for
the Presidential campaign is to be
the purchase or bribery Of every
Democratic and doubtful Republi-
can paper in Che country districts
where the vote is close, possesses
several elements Of probability.
Not the least among these is the
fact that the plutocratic ring Of
which Mr.. Hanna is political mas
ter of ceremonies has for some time
been trying to secure control Of the
metropolitan papers, with SO much
success that Harper's Weekly, the
New York Times and the New York
Sun are already well known to be
included in Pierpont Morgan's
schedule Of assets. There are IN
dications, besides, that if chat same
schedule we're open Tor inspection
the name of many another preten-
tious Journal Of civilization
would be discovered there 1t is q
shrewd scheme, this of gaining con-
troll Of the press and directing its
power to the npbuilding and per
petuation of plutocracy; and Mr.
Hanna, by planning to include the
country papers in such a scheme,
shows that he has lost none Of his
cunning.

Train Wrecker Caught in the Act.

Lafayette, La, Jan. 2O.-Last
night most dastardly and diaboli-
cal attempt was made to wreck
several trains on the Southern
Pacific Railway tracks in the
suburbs of Lafayette, and one Jules
Poinboeuf, a discharged engineer
of the road, has been arrested for
the crime. From the best infor-
nation obtainable it seems that
Poinboeuf worked as engineer for
the railroad for a number of years
and was discharged for some cause,
but was subsequently re-employed
in the workshops at Lafayette. Not
satisfied with his new employment,
he left and engaged his services to
the city as assistant engineer at the
electric power house, situated near
the railway track at the junction Of
the Alexandria branch with the
western division of the road. For
some time past repeated attempts
have been made in this particular
locality to wreck trains by breaking
the switch locks and throwing the
switches at nights. The company
employed detective to ferret out
miscreant, but up to last night no
results rewarded his efforts. Last
night he stationed Henry Giannel-
loni, a watchman in lumber yard
near the power house, and soon
after IL o'clock Poinboeuf was seen
to leave his post in the power house
and walk across the track. The
watchman heard the sharp click of
the lock and saw POinboeuf throw
it away and walk up the track.
Following his man, the watchman
again saw him open and throw
another switch on the western divi-
sion, and in addition remove the
red light which turns to warn in
coming passenger trains from
Texas. The watchman then ad-

THE FEROCIOUS BOERS.

At the beginning of the conflict
between the enlightened English
man and the uncivilized Boer the
British opened the floodgates of
their press bureau upon the enemy,
denouncing them as little if any
better than savages who would set
at naught all the rules of civilized
warfare The burgher was pictured
as prodigy of cruelty and ferocity,
q being in whom natural savagery
was accentuated, and as the one
dangerous, fanatical and colossal
figure that barred the advance of
civilization in South Africa.
An English officer, who is a
prisoner, in a recent letter tells of
the treatment of prisoners of war
by the Beers as follows:
"The government gives us canned
beef, bread, water to drink, and
from time to time lime juice" says
Mr.. Reggie. "Once a week we get
potatoes. We are allowed to buy
whatever we please, and have or
ganized a mess. Our menu is re-
inforced by bacon, porridge, pre-
served vegetables, potted meats,
pickles and tobacco.
When we were taken we had, of
course, only what was on our per-
sons. We had to purchase sponges,
tooth brushes, hair brushes and
combs.
The Transvaal government has
given to each of us an iron bed
stead, with mattress and pillow,
a pajama suit, slippers, flannel
shirts, pocket -handkerchiefs, towels,
socks, etc. We also received ready
made suits, as our khaki uniforms
were too much worn.
We live in large stone building
that is cool and comfortable. We
are annoyed by flies and at night
by mosquitoes. We are guarded
night and day by strong police
force. We are surrounded by iron
palisades. On grass plot in the
rear of the building tents for our
servants have been erected. The
Beers allowed US to bring over ten
of our men to wait upon us. We
rise at 6 80 and indulge in cold
bath. Then we walk around the
building eight times, which makes
a mile. At $3.50 we breakfast on
porridge, bacon, sardines, butter.
jams, tea and coffee. After break
fast we generally read and smoke
until luncheon time, at l o'clock,
when we get beer, bread and butter,
jam and water. At 4:3O we have
tea, and a 7 o'clock dinner. We
then play whist, and go to bed at
$50. The Beers cash our checks
when countersigned by the senior
officer"

Extract from Testimony of Hon NJ L. Lockwood
President American Anti Trust League before

"Mr. Chairman, | hope | am not
asking too much when | ask mem
bers of this commission. when Won
have time, to read these forty three
pages. giving history of Mr..
Rice's efforts to do business over
these American railways. Every
fact herein stated is substantiated
by sworn evidence before the
courts, before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, before the in
vestigating committee, both state
and national, and when you have
read this record Of crime, when you
have seen how the equal rights of
the American citizen have been de-
stroyed, it will make every drop of
American blood in your veins boil
with Indignation; and | would
suggest, and | think it is proper,
that when John d. Rockefeller ap-
pears before you that you ask him
if the railway companies had treat
ed him as they treated George Rice,
whether he thinks he could have
succeeded in business. 1t does not
seem possible that in this govern
ment, whose corners stone is based
upon the doctrine of the equal
rights of man, that such wrongs
could be perpetrated; and yet this
great government, through its
commissions and its courts, seems
powerless to stop the wrongs which
/ have enumerated.
What is the remedy? The con
troll of the public highways is the
most important duty of the govern
ment. Mr.. Chairman, give me the
control of the highway over which
the products of your labor must go
to market, and let me fix the charg
es, and | can make you my slave.
The eleven billions of capital com
bined in the railways of the repub-
lie, organized as they are under
joint traffic and passenger associ-
ations, in which they have throttled
the law of competition, and have
constituted one gigantic Railway
Trust, controlling the highways Of
the people, debating who shall and
who shall not do the business of
the country, condemning this man
to poverty and that man to riches.
These eleven billions of capital

When the Beers Whipped the British on
Majuba Hill.

tory we have forgotten until some
disturbance brings out the details
bearing upon great events. In
thousands of journals and news
papers it has been asserted over
and over again in the past several
years that the idea of a South
African Empire. holding somewhat
the same relations as Canada to
Great Britain, was originated, sug-
gested and formulated by Cecil
Rhodes and Joseph Chamberlain.
As a matter OF fact, the credit be-
longs to Lord Carnarvan, who,
after seeing the effects of the con-
federation act in Canada, sugges-
gested that all the European settle
ments of South Africa be united
under similar confederate govern
ment. The scheme was adopted,
and the British agents in South
Africa simply went ahead to an
mex things in their own peculiar
way 1t was not until April, 1877,
that the Transvaal was nominally
added to the British Throne. In
order to make the annexation more
valid, excuses were found and wars
were started to sustain them. The
cost was a great many millions of
dollars and a number Of good En-
glish lives. The natives were
moved down, and the whole des-
perate business made sad chapters
in African history. The Beers,
who had fled to escape British ag
gression at last made their stand.
The open troubles began in 1880.
In December, 1880, the South
African Republic was proclaimed,
with Kruger as President, Joubert
Commandant- General, Jorrison At
torney-General, and Box acting
State Secretary. PretOrius joined
Kruger and Joubert in the direc-
ton of affairs. The English lost
heavily during the war. 1t as
tonished them beyond measure that
they were defeated by such small
numbers Of the Beers. They made
a final stand on the Majuba Noun
tain, which commanded the Beers
position, but this did not dismay
the hardy Dutch, who on February
27, 1881, carried the place by
storm, killed SO, including the
British Commander, Sir George
Pomeroy Colley, and disabled and
1873. Sir Frederick Rob
erts-the present Roberts in com
mand-was appointed Commander
in General, and $1,000 troops were
sent to South Africa from all parts
Of the British Empire. But before
hey arrived an armistice had been
arranged and gradually peace was
reached. 1t is a fact in history,
however, that after the conclusion
If the preliminary settlement,
while the Beers departed to their
farms, the British not only did not
decrease their forces, but made
open preparations for the renewal
If the war. In that contest Europe,
outside Of great Britain, was prac-
ically one in sympathy with the
Beers, and leading men in the
Continental countries signed pc
itions pleading that the Transvaal
)e recognized as an independent
State. With the effects of the de-
eats and the insistence of the SEN
iment of the world, Great Britain
rave in. No one has ever said a
word against the bravery Of the
Beers in that wonderful fight on
Majuba Hill, and it is one Of the
distinct defeats that befell the
English in all their long expert
,nces in war.
