that condition for several hours. He has

There is one good result which will doubtless follow the munich pal ownership of the electric light plant. Citizens of Conway will pay more attention to the election of our city officers. In the past 1t has been the custom to nominate the officers at an extempore mass meeting, which could easily be packed beforehand and at which for variety of reasons men may not vote their convictions. For tunately in the past we have not suffered from this careless and inn proper method, but have had good officers. This has been largely due to the efforts of few public spirited citizens, as large number of citizens do not attend these meetings at all. But if the city is to buy and control valuable prop erty, we must not leave the selec- ton of officers to mere chance or good luck, as it is highly impor- tant that we have sound, conserva- tive business men at the head of our affairs. Let us have munich pal primary elections.

"After the War. ]"

The San Francisco Chronicle in speaking of this production says, ]" After the War, a stirring play from the pen of MT. Travers-Vale, had it's first production oil the Pa cifc coast last night and its recep- ton was most flattering to both players and author. It has a strong plot skillfully woven and was watched with close attention by the large audience present. Its Southern environments and unique characterizations combined with ingeniously devised mechanical effects and exciting situations
 makes the production genuine
 novelty and its success was assured from the rise of the curtain. Plays of the calibre of After the War will always have a cordial recep- ton on our coast.
 "After the War must not be confounded with many of the
 war play now touring the coun- | try. This is not "war" play but stirring Southern romance. the time being five years after the struggle between the States. MT Travers-Vale, the Australian actor
 author, is surrounded by an efiici-
 ent company and treat can con
 fdently be anticipated at the ope- ra house on Thursday night.

Democracy Will Live.

lust now there is considerable talk about recognizing the Demo- cratic party or forming a new par ty out of all those opposing McKin- lyis1n. It is noticeable that the most of this talk comes from those individuals who have done so much toward defeating the Demo cratic ticket in recent elections and for this reason very little attention will be paid to such men. The majority of these are those who severed their connection with the Democratic party on account ot the free silver plank in 1896. They declare now that in order to ever gain ascendency again the Demo crats must renounce their allegi- ance to free silver and some go as far as to say that we must indorse imperialism in order to catch votes. Whenever this is done the Demo- cratic party will not bereorganized; it will simply go out of existence. The party that Jefferson founded to contest the federalistic idea of centralized government and which has been the highest opponents of Americanism, must never sell its birthright for mess of pottage; must never sacrifice principle for power. Better thousand times that we should be defeated and have a clear conscience than that we should win by renouncing the doctrines of our forefathers.
 Many times before have the en- emies of good government sung the requiem of Democracy; many times have corrupt and scheming politicians gloated over the sup posed corpse of Democracy, but she has always risen up again to fight the battles of freedom. Through the long weary years of reconstruction she lay crushed and bruised under the heel of the car pet-bagger and our people, bereft of her protection, suffered under corrupt and wicked government. But she rose from this conflict strong in the knowledge of right, and twice since the civil war has her power prevailed. No, Dem ocracy is not dead; she will live on to fight the battles of humanity and in her the people will ever find a tower ofstrength.

London, May 3.-The war Office has re-
ceived the following report from Lord
Roberts under date of Bloemfontein,
May 2:
General Hamilton met with consider
able success and drove the enemy out Of
the strong position which they had taken
up at Houtnek with comparatively small
loss to US. The Beers dispersed in sew
eral directions, mainly to the east and
south, leaving many prisoners in our
hands, including one commandans and
sixteen other wounded men.
General Hamilton is now in camp at
Jacobsrust.
"As the men needed a rest after firing
seven out of the last ten days, ordered
them to halt for the day.
General Brabant's brigade of cavalry
arrived upon the scene in time to afford
valuable assistance by threatening. the
enemy in the rear. During the afternoon
Gen. Ian Hamilton was joined by Gen.
Bruce Hamilton's brigade of infantry
The enemy admit having twelve killed
and forty wounded Among the former
was Lieutenant Gunther, German OFF,
Ger, belonging to the Fifty-f1fth regiment,
and among the latter was MaXimoff, the
Russian commander OF the foreign Ie-
gion. Twenty-one out of fifty-two of the
enemy's casualties occurred among the
members of that legion. Two Frenchmen
were among the killed. General Hamil-
ton speaks in high terms of the good SER
vice performed by the Eighth Hussars
under Colonel CLOVIS and of the regiment
of Lancers which came into General
Broadwood's brigade and assisted in
making the Beers vacate their position.
The final stroke of the enemy's rout was
given by the Gordons and Second COM
panies of the Shropshire light infantry,
who cheered loudly when they get with
in 200 yards of the position. Kitchener. s
horse is also spoken of in terms of
praise" .s~~

RECORD OF COURT MARTIALs.
Controversy Over Conditions Exist
ing at Time of Offense.

Washington, May 3.-The war depart
ment has received from General Otis. at
Manila, the records of the proceedings
OF court martials in the cases of six
commissioned officers. The chief Of
these cases is that of Major George w.
klrkman, 49th Volunteer infantry (Cap-
tain 23rd infantry who was dismissed
! from the service by order Of General
Otis on conviction by court martial Of
gentleman in having misbehaved in ap-
pearing on the streets of Manila in
drunken condition.
The other cases received are those of
First Lieutenant Robert c. Gregg, 49th
volunteer infantry; First Lieutenant
Clayton j. Bailey 9th infantry; First
Lieutenant John J. Foley, 3Oth volun-
teer infantry and First Lieutenant Har-
old Hammond 9Th infantry. These Of
hcers were tried on various charges.
I.ieutenants Gregg and Bailey were con-
victed and sentenced to dismissal and
Lieut9nants Foley and Hammond We're
acquitted. The sentence in each case
was approved by General Otis and was
disposed of without dsmission to the
authorities at Washington. The rec
ords have been sent to the war depart
ment for file and recorded in the Office
of the judge advocate general.
Judge Advocate General Lieber will
make special report in the case Of
Major Kirkman, which report also will
have bearing on the cases of Lieuten-
ants Gregg and Bailey as the same legal
principle is involved in each of them.
Generally stated that involves the right
of General Otis to dismiss the officers
without reference to the president as
commander in chief of the army. 1t Is
admitted that such power Is conferred
on get erals commanding armies in the
field il, time of war but it is contended
that no such condition existed in the
case Of Major Kirkman at the time Of
the oitenses alleged to have been COM
mitted.

EXPERT BUSINESS RENEWAL
Domestic Market Situation Less Fa-
vorable Than Last Week.

New York, May 3.-The Iron Age to-
day says: A notable event of the past
week was the capture by the Phoenix
Bridge company of the contract for the
great bridge over the st. Lawrence
river, Canada, which will require $1,000
tons of steel. This is one of the largest
bridge contracts ever placed. PropOs-
ais are now being invited on the ap-
proaches to the new East river bridge.
NV York. which will take about $4,000
tons OF steel. The bids will be opened
on the 31st instant. In connection with
the important matters the fact may be
noted that heavy quantities of pig iron
for exports are under negotiation. 1t
is asserted that possibly 100, 900 tons may
shortly be covered for foreign shipment
as a result of the negotiations now un-
der way. Sales of finished products
have also been made for export to a
considerable extent during the week.
Prices are now approaching a level
which is offering opportunities for the
renewal of export business on dimensions
which make the movement appear con-
siderable.
The situation of domestic market gen.
orally is a little less favorable than
last week. Prices are yielding under
the strain of the recent unfavorable de-
vlopments and q lower range of values
seems to be assured.
The epidemic of strikes now prevalent
throughout the country. is not calculat-
ed to be reassuring and this situation
must certainly clear up before much i'm
provement can be expected
