Why We Refused Arbitration.
With such damning evidence as to
thejreal objects Of those who promoted
the war It will be easily understood
why Mr.. Chamberlain to please the
millionaires, refused the repeated Of
fers of President Kruger to submit any
matters in dispute to Arbitration. We
had: a very weak case, and a body of
arbitcators would speedily have found
that out. Away, then. with the delu-
sions that this war is waged in order
to open up new territory to- British
Colonists. The capitalists, who bought
up or hired the press both in South
Africa and in England to clamor for
war. are largely Jews and foreigners.
The cry which they raised about the
Outlanders' grievances, the arming of
the Beers, a Dutch conspiracy, etc,
were mere pretexts to deceive you.
The enormous sums which they made
out of the Rhodesian Diamond mines
emboldened them in their efforts to be-
come absolute masters Of the Trans
vaal gold mines also. They have all
along wanted war to double their pro-
fits by cheap forced native labor.
This is now proved out of the mouths
of the capitalists themselves. And for
this despicable object the British peo.
pie, have to pay untold millions, and
British blood already is, poured out
like water on South African soil! :
How the Beers Hate the War;, !
The Rev. Reginald Collins one of our
army chaplains, who was engaged for
three days burying our dead within the
Boer lines, says:
The Beers, great numbers of them,
as they inspected the CHASTITY. pile of
our dead, cried Good God, what a.
sight! 'sI wish politicians could see
their handy work. We hate this war;
1T is not our war; it is a war Of the
millionaires! What enmity have we
with these poor fellows?' Would that
Chamberlain, Rhodes, and the million
aires could see these graves!' we hate
all war; we want to go back to our,
homes and farms, to SOW our seed and
reap our fields Good God, when will
it end?' ;.
And these are the men who, we are
told, desire to drive the British out of
South Africa! How can any sane man

It is really amusingtto note the atti-

proposition to increase the wages Of
the city firemen $500 per month. If we
mistake not, we think we can remem-
ber occasions before election day when
the candidates for alderman visited
the, firehalls. gave the boys the glad
hand and assured them that If elected
they would be the ..1addies" friends.
But, oh; what a change. Only three or
four have declared their intention Of
supporting the proposition. What has

election? Can it be possible that the

Alderman Ne1f, who by the way, has

suggested to aid the city employees for
the last year, is now working on plan
to increase the firemen's wages. He
suggests that $4,000 be taken from the
general fund and appropriated to, the
fire department fund for the purpose of
increasing the salaries Of that depart
ment. The committee on finance at the
last meeting OF the council reported
adversely to the proposition, claiming
that the city cannot / afford it. OF
course we do not object to seeing every

A number of wool growers have
leased from the Union Pacific Land
company nearly a million acres Of
land in Colorado, which will be
used as a winter range for sheep
grazing. This is the largest trans
action of the kind which has been
made in this country.
Messrs. Ryan Bros. and the men
who get their cattle make a prac-
tice of bedding the cars literally
with native hay, about four bales to
the car. The cattle eat good deal
of tho hay and go through in fine
shape. 1t costs about three dollars
car but is a good investment.
Last month 2,017 head of cattle
were imported from Mexico through
the port of Nogales and the sub port
of Bisbee, as against 685 at Ell Paso
and so at San Diego, Calf. The
bulk of the cattle entered were

The Only Ostrich Farm.

A. Y. Pearson, Black Hills, Oak,
capitalist, now has a monopoly of
the ostrich industry in the United
States and will soon move all his
birds to Arizona. Mr.. Pearson says,
in recent interview, that he has
purchased about 800 ostriches, which
are, with the exception of about 100
birds, in the circuses and geological
gardens, all that are to be found in
the United States. Phoenix has been
chosen for the breeding farm, where
several acres of pasture land sowed
to alfalfa have been purchased.
Pearson will increase the ostrich
flock by means of the incubator,
and he will feed the chicks on a
straight diet of alfalfa, upon which
they thrive. The birds will be pas
tnred the same as horses. Pearson
states that he has expended about
$l00,0O0 on his purchases, and that
he will probably realize $50 year
from each matured ostrich. He will
have the benefit of the 50 cent tariff
on feathers and the Cape Town ex-
port tariff of $500 bird.
