The Valor of CrOnje.

The splendid courage OF Gen. Cronje COM
mands the admiration of the world Seven
thousand Dutch farmers have held nearly 5o,-
600 British soldiers with sixty cannon at Bay
for week. The Beers fighting for their homes,
fer their own government, for liberty as our
foretathers with less reason fought the British
in 1776, have, by their sublime valor, aroused
the sympathy of the world. For four months
the Beers have been fighting successful battles
in British territory. These two small republics
without trained army have shown the world
that they are as people willing to die for their
rights. England, as matter Of national pride,
deems it to be her duty to caush these republics
and make them subjects Of the crown. Over
200, 900 British soldiers, led by her best gener
ais, are on duty in South Africa. Many believed
that after the fall of Kimberly the Beers would
surrender. No evidence has been offered by
these heroic farmers that they contemplate CIV
ingup the contest. They may have TO do so, but
it seems to us that they will make resistance
from the capital of the Orange Free State, Mag
ersfontein, to Pretoria, the capital of the Trans
vaal, as will the forces on the east aud around
Ladysmith to Pretoria, before the final surren-
der which will be the most heroic the world has
ever seen. The cost to the British will be many
thousanes of lives. And when the territory is
conquered it will have to be kept in subsection
by a standing army.
History gives no instance OF more unjust
war than this attempt Of England to subjugate
the Beers That the result may ultimately be
the establishment of great republic, including
all the territory from Pretoria to Cape Colony,
il seems to us ought to be the wish of every
lover of fgovernment,--T Topeka Daily

AN old friend writes: at is much easier to
do right than wrong; and then you don't have
to keep explaining all the time" What pity
somebody hadn't told Mckinley that. Poor
old Mac is constantly having to explain In
the first place, he said he was opposed to the
Porto Rician tariff scheme; but the trusts want
ed it, and they told Mac his position didn't suit
them, and he must change, so he changed, and
insisted that the tariff was just what the Porto
Ricians needed. He would collect whole lot
of tariff money, and pay it out for the benefit
OF the island The measure came up in con-
gress, and was discussed there. The papers
all over the country then discussed it, and the
people took it up and discussed it, This all
around discussion disclosed the fact that the
trusts we're back OF the whole scheme Then
there was howl, loud and long, in which
many prominent Republicans (among them
Benjamin Harrison) took a decided stand
agasnit the scheme Mac stood by his friends
the trusts, as long as possible, but when he
found that he was OH the unpopular side, he
tried to crawfsh and threw the whole blame on
congress. This has made lot of congressman
mad, and there is likely to be some music in
the air. Ir is predicted now that the senate
will defeat the measure. But poor old Fisliworm
Mckinley! What sorry position he occupies.

The new bill now before the Legisla-
ture proposing to become a new school
law abolishes the taking of the school
census and bases the taxation and ap-
portionment up on the attendance of
the children at school. AS the attend.
ance is greater in the cities and towns
than in the country districts where
many children work upon farms in the
spring and fall tits clearly to be seen
that the law will be a detriment to the
rural districts. The country schools
have to be kept open all the school year
at the same expense while the income
will be less, if the names of those who
do not attend are not counted.

Gloucester County Board of Agricul-
ture.
The Gloucester County Board of
Agriculture held al interesting session
at Mullica Hill Monday afternoon the
attendance being the largest in a num-
Der of years.
William Carter gave an exhaustive
report Of the meeting Of the State Board
of Agriculture showing the high stand
ard of Gloucester county in the matter
of produce shipping.
The Legislative Committee made a
report on the proposed legislative enact.
ments affecting the farmer, particularly
the new school law and the bill against
the d%ehorning of cattle, which will
meet with vigorous opposition. The
Legislative Committee was increased
to assist in caring for the interest of
Gloucester county in the halls of legis-
lation.
There was a general discussion Of the
question as whether sulphur was good
for the potato scab. Some liked it's ap.
plication, while others had but little
faith in its value as a scab preventive;
but the general sense of the meeting
was that it was beneficial. 1.-THE
-
Wife's Share in the Farm W0rko
brought fourth a variety of opinions.
Mrs. Lidie Hoffman thought the wife
ought not to do outside work, such as
milking. She said it was a wife's duty
to make home attractive, be a good
cook and be Of good temper. Beulah
Gardiner thought poultry raising a
share for those who liked it.
The question, docs It Pay a Farm
er Living Near a Good Home Market
to Cart His Produce to Philadelphia? ~
brought out the experience Of several
Of the farmers. Some of the farmers
said they did not know much about
home markets, as they hauled most Of
their truck to The city. Theodore
Brown believed the home market was
all right if the money for sales could be
obtained.

departed this life on March 6, 1897.
Hopes are crushed and a heart is bleeding
Drear the fireSide now and lone,
She the best loved and dearest
Far avaytO heaven has flown.
Long, long I will miss you Lille
Long days for you will weep
And through many nights of sorrow
Memory will her vigil keep.
Oft / will wander to the church yard,
.Tenderly I shall nurse the flowers
There besides my loved ones grave
IShaN pass many, many hours.
Looking to the skies above me
Wondering il it shall be long
Ere the word comes to take me
To the place where my dear one has gone.
