The Orange Free state.

This little republic, with a total
population Of less than 100000, has
now become the battlefield of the war
with Great Britain. There are strong
indications that the British policy is
to conciiiate this tiny government and
then fight to 1t finish with President
Kruger. Tae Orange Free State is
iavelved IN the conflict from sympa-
ting and possibly, to some extent,
from ambition in behalf of the Dutch
! race in S3uth Africa. On, the whole
the English Cabinet has always tried
to a9oif q quarrel with the Bloem-
fontein state. England would prob
/ ably as willing now to recognise its
continued autonomy if rs citizens will
lay aewn their arms. Perhaps the
British will do no less in the end if
resistance is continued. An open
door may be assumed for the Orange
Free Staters. But will they enters
A charge OF deserting an ally under
FIRE would be brought against them,
and SO they will continue to fight On
officially, though individual deser-
items may become frequent as the tide
Of war rolls over the thrifty farms.
The foundation Of the Orange Free
Sate was laid in hs24 with the first
srek. British authority was asserted
for a time Al a later period, but Eng
eand voluntarily withdrew in 1853 and
recognized The Independence of she
miniature nation in the Wilderness.
Relations eonbinsed freely until the
Jameson raid. That glibustering in
vasion created sympathy for the
Transvaal and fear of the tusure
among the Free Staters. Relations
with Cape Coieny became strained
and English Influences unwelcsme.
BloemfOntein was fortified and the
study of English in the schools was
reduced. The Grange Free State has
been q prospereHs little government,
and is not likely to be heavily bur
dened as a resak of the war, but it
will suffer from the march of armies,
which is destructive, no matter how
well controlled. England will make
it easy for the Free State to reosde, a
fact already fe-eshadowed in Lord
Roberts dispatches. But the bur
ghers are z stubborn race, and the
allies may stand together until the
last resource falls and the last sbots
are fired.-G lobe Democrat.

THE REAL GOVERNMENT,

Meanwhile the real government goes
on in its own smooth, placid way.
Gov. Taylor looks after the business
that pertains to his Office, doing his
Office, edoing his duty, handicapped
only by the mutiny of partisan prison
officials and a few other wild Goebel-
ties who refuse to recognize his
authority. But a day of reckoning
will come for these, and they will be
begging favos from Gov. Taylor.
Auditor Spencer issues legal warrants
and vouchers as usual, and Treasurer
Day draws checks to pay the same.
The money is IN the bank, and if the
bank refuses to honor the checks the
responsibility rests on them.
The stand taken by the United
States postal authorities was a blow

General has instructed the Postmaster

'W. P. c. Beckham, Governor of
Kentucky" will be delivered to
Cripps, just as they would if "Em-
peror Of China" or liking of Siam"

lite county officials are crawfishing,
