M'KINLEY PROSPERITY.

The failures for May as compiled
from Dun's Review, number o47, as
compared with sSI last year and o17
in the "calamitous" year of 1896 The
number for May. 1900. is the largest
ever known in that month since the
records have been kept. The records
for the two succee ding months have
been equally significant, as Indicating
the full meaning of the Mckinley
prosperity. President Gray OF the
Federal Steel Trust who certainly has
no motive for misrepresentlng the
facts on that side, said in recent
statement of the iron and stee. indur-
Try: 1.-The demand is not equal to the
production. and the latter should be
curtailed until conditions change"
Production is being curtailtd at a
rate extremely di astrous to the inter
ests of workmen. And this in spite
of the pressure which, it is every
where agreed, is being brought to
bear upon the trust managers by
their friends, Hanna and Mckinley,
to keep their works open if possible
until after the election. The trust
men are good Hanna Republicans
and would be glad to comply with this
campaign request. but there is limit
even to the powers of trust which
has fattened upon the abnormal pro-
fits of a short seasons of artificial
prosperity. The trust men are doing
the best they can, but the truth car
not be concealed that the bottom i:
out of the Mckinley prosperity, ane
the end is near at hand. - Nationa
Democrat.

Nearly every city in the country is
dissatisfied with the census returns

each one that thousands have been
overlooked that should be counted.
The enumerators are now little anx-

new census taken at their own ex.
pense, just to show the carelessness

Mr.. Chamberlain's reply confirmed
tho report Of the invasion Of Zululand,
ind showed the consequences could not
fail to be serious throughout South A.
RIGA, as the alarm and unrest Of the
Zulus was bound to spread to the Natal
natives. The colonial secretary alst

full attitude of the Zulus, as the invasion
Of their country was contrary to a tact

British Public Again Has That Feeling Of
Confidence.
LONDON, Feb. 16.-1ntense satisfac-
ton continues dominant in consequence
of Field Marshal Lord Roberts plan Of
operations in Sorth Africa, as revealed
by the dispatches. There is no further
news Of the British advance into the
Orange Free State, or Of activity at the
Modder river, but feeling of quiet con-
fidence prevails tut the strong hands
Of "Bobs" Bahadur and the hero Of
Khartoum are shaping matters towards
a much needed decisive victory. AS the
St. James Gazette says:
Lord Roberts, with his own line well
guarded and having little reason to fear
only defense which would be deadly,
viz, a counter stroke attacking his long
line as it swings round, will be able to
force the Beers to fight under very un.
favorable conditions, or abandon their
heavy guns and stores.
A special dispatch to The Times from
Chieveley, Natal, dated Tuesday, Feb.
IS, says:
General Lyttleton has succeeded to
the command Of the Second division
during the illness Of General Clery, who
is suffering from blood poisoning. Col.
onel Northcott Of the Rife brigade
temporarily commands the Fourth
division"
The fears regarding Boer attack on
Zululand are somewhat allayed by
special dispatch from Durham which
says that q column of Colonial scouts
after forced march has arrived at
Eshowe, in splendid fighting form.
They were pursued several times during
the march by the Beers but succeeded
in repulsing them.
