problems with which as a nation we are
now confronted. Our Industrial life has
become so complex, its rate OF movement 50
very rapid, and specialization and differ
entfation so intense that we find ourselves
race TO face with conditions that were
practically unknown in this Nation half a
century ago. The power of the forces OF EVIL
has been greatly increased, and it is neces-
sary for our self preservation that We
should similarly strengthen the forces for
good. We are all of US bound TO work to-

thing. but each of us can do something.
and II We work together the aggregate CT
these something's will be very consider

There are. of course, a thousand diff

and each man must choose as his tastes
and his powers bid him, If he is TO do the
Dest or which he is capable But all the
kinds of work must be carried along on
certain definite lines If good is 20 come.
All the work must be attempted as on the

FIGHT FOR STATEHOOD.
ArixOna's Governor Will BE on the
Ground When Congress Meets.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Gov. Nathan o.
Murphy, of Arizona. is at the Holland
House, and will go to Washington Tues
day to continue his efforts TO have that
Territory admitted as a State. 1--WE have
a hard fight on our hands" he said to-
day, but we purpose keping II up until
success crowns our efforts. Our people want
self-government. and the advantages of
statehood. Freedom is the underlying senti-
ment which urges us on. We believe Ii
entirely wrong for a people to be taxed,
directly or indirectly, without representa-
ton. We are tired of territorial vassalage.

DISPATCHES FROM THE FRONT.
They Show Serious Condition All
Along the Line-Cape Dutch Quiet.

LONDON, Dec. o1.-A dispatch from Car
narvon. dated yesterday, reports that the
Beers who have been threatening that
point were driven off and are being pursued.
'It is evident" says belated message
from Krugersdorp. dated Dec. %, that the
Boer commissariat, In the direction of the
Magaliesburg. is well supplied, and that
until the country between here and the
Magaliesburg is properly cleared of Beers
they will continue to concentrate there, the
ground being particularly adapted to their
methods of warfare
The Beers admit that i'm their fight with
General Clements at Nooitgedacht they lost
130 men.
cannot ask the colonies officially to send
troops" says Durham dispatch dated Dec.
%, ''but he desires 1t to be known in Austria
liza and Canada that Australians and
Canadians arriving in Natal will be eligible
for immediate enlistment in the irregular
corps, which is proceeding to johannesburg
for five months service"
To emphasize Lord Kitchener's covert ad-
mission that no progress is being made
against the invasion of Cape Colony, a cor
respondent at Burghersdorp, wiring Satur-
day, reports as follows: 1.-TWO fresh COM
mandos entering the colony. One has
already crossed near Knaapdaar and the
arrival of another is momentarily expected
in the Steynsburg district. The Beers are
said to have two or three horses each,
though in bad condition. They have no
guns or transports, but are supplied with
Lee-Metford rifles and ammunition Can
tured Beers say that the intention of these
commandos is TO roam about and wait until
General De Wet appears on the scene"
All dispatches arriving in London agree
that the Cape Dutch show no inclination
to rise, but on the contrary appear to be
tired of the war and desirous of peace
Many refuse to supply the Beers with food
and are willing to give information to the
British regarding Boer movements.
Details of the Greyiingstadt affair show
that while Colvilles column was pursuing
the Beers a second force of 400 of the
enemy vas seen moving toward the camr
where the British transport was inspanned
The small British force made a pIucky
stand until reinforcements arrived with
artillery, and after a severe fight the
Beers were defeated. The British losses
altogether were nine killed and sixty-three
wounded and missing. The Beers are said
to have lost thirty-one killed
