1t is more and more generally assumed and
freely said that Governor Stephens's aversion
10 calling out State troops for the restoration of
order in st. Louis proceeds from fear that
political injury 10 himself and his party would
result. His reply to urgent appeals has been
that be not convinced of the inability OF
the local authorities TO deal effectively with the
dangerous and disgraceful condition of affairs
in the chief city of the State. Yet every day for
more than month the fact has stared him In
the face that iawlessness was rampant and
Iiotous in st. Louis. and that virtually nothing
being done TO improve the situation.
Acts of violence were committed in the very
first hours Of the strike, and, as was inevitable,
things have gone steadily from bad to worse,
until the whole community is in terror. During
the last few days, in addition TO all the famil-
proceedings Of a reckless unchecked mob,
omen have been subjected TO shameful indig-
ities-suipped. beaten, daubed with paint,
united naked through the streets. The posse
ardily enrolled by the Sheriff has shown itself
TO be a wellDigh worthless agency for the en-
forcement Of the law, and only In the Executive
Office does there seem TO be a shadow OF doubt
remaining that troops are required to restore
peace and order.
II Governor Stephens is afraid whom is he

PAYING TILE WAR Bills.

The South African war is not yet ended. bu:
It is near enough to It's end to make the ques-
ton OF the payment Of its bills pertinent one.
II is a one sided question, relating solely to the
British expenses. The Beers have made no
foreign loans. They have largely paid their
way with gold taken from other mems mines.
There has been the most remarkable example
on record Of one beligerent financing Its mill
tary operations out OF the pockets OF the other.
But Great Britain has had 20 pay her war bills
at the expense of her own treasury, and she will
expect a goodly indemnity for 30 doing. Her
total war bill VIII certainly be as much as
4OO0OO.000 and may be S5oOOoo,ooO. A part
0! that will be borne by herself and her colo
nies, for which she will deem herself repaid by
the acquisition o. territory. But beyond
doubt she will charge a part, probably half,
against her new colonies~-tbe former Boer
States which provoked and began the war
If we estimate the total debt Mt the lower OF
the two figures mentioned and the new colonies
share of it at onehalf there will be S2OO.OOO'eOO

FOR SUMNER HOMADs AND OTHERS

This is the time of year when strong vari-
ance appears In mans domesticity There is
scarcely one home loving that he-we say
"he" generically. meaning man, woman and
child-does not at this desire to forsake
his home. It may be for the summer. II may
be for few weeks. 1t may be for only n day.
1t may be for rest for health, for pleasure for
sightseeing, for new society or for any OF a
dozen other reasons. He may wish to visit the
mountains or the seashore, the lakes or the
springs, the brilliant and crowded resorts of

impulse, and wherever the goal. the Red Gods
calling, and man must answer them.
The substantial universally of this periodical

mer solstice TO the autumnal equinox. invests
with something more than commercial interest
the phenomenal display which is to be seen this
morning in The Tribunes Summer Resort Sup
pleinent Since years ago this paper has been the
established and recognized medium through
which the proprietors OF desirable summer re-
sorts make their accommodations known, IN
which the nomadic multitude seeks information
and direction, and in which all seek news Of all
that is going on, whether of the development Of
new resorts, the progress of old ones or the
varied dongs of the dwellers in them. If

Of the steady growth Of The Tribune in favor

Of the American people in these prosperous
years to crafty their love of summer outings

ing.
The many broad pages Of this mornings
paper which devoted to this seasonable
feature are cordially to be commended to every
reader. They are of course, inva uable to those
who are seeking summer homes, they have
long realized; whether 1t be to lease mansion
or cottage, to engage n suite Of rooms at some
palatial hotel a single room in some simple
farmhouse. The range, the variety, the number
Of the places represented in our columns are
unr1valled and unprecedented; the only limit
and the only uniformity Of them being in the
fact that they are all good and trustworthy.
But even those few who do not expect to mi
crate even for n day, and those who already
have their summer homes selected and secured,
will find these pages scarcely less fascinating
as a contemporaneous picture Of an important
phase Of American life and enterprise and q
graphic record of the Nations social and do

in full at once. The British Government will
issue consols to cover it, and will charge their
interest and gradual amortization against the
colonies. 1t is suggested. moreover, that the
amount be divided into two, each to be collected
in Its own way. For example, $125, ,OOOO 900
might be charged against the general revenues
oc the colonies and the remaining s75,0OO00O
against special classes of taxpayers With the
fine security offered such a loan could probably
he foated at 21a per cent, and certainly at 8
per cent At The latter figure there would be
$0,OO0,000 a year TO pay for interest That
should be easily met by the colonies. The
yearly revenue of the Transvaal has been about
$25,O00,000, of which vast sums have been spent
in military works or corruptly squandered
Moreover, large sources of legitimate revenue
have been neglected or deliberately abandoned
TO favored corporations. In the Orange State
the revenue has been smaller and better admin
istered but the State railroad system is enor
mously profitable, and might easily be made TO
pay SlO0O,000 year net. An honest and pru-
dent administration of the two colonies should
easily be able to meet the interest charges and
more. without laying a penny OF additional
burden upon the people
So much for the general charge of SS,I50,000
against the entire revenues Of the States. The
remaining $2,250OO0 may be charged against all
property owners, whether of mines, farms,
houses, cattle or what not British subjects at

beaten nation, If it retains its sovereignty to
pay an indemnity TO the victor. as France did to
Germany and Turkey to Russia and Greece to

Gated, whatever indemnity the victor may claim
above the value Of the territory acquired must
be levied against the lately belligerent people
