Retreat of the Boers.

The continued retreat of the Boers before farther from base, for he will soon have a new base either at Blomfontein, or one at some point just south of it. The railroad that leads to Pretoria from Capetown is very near Lord Roberts now, and it is a line he will cling to. until he arrives before Pretoria and Johannesberg.
 At present the Boers are very elusive. They slip away to fight another day, but Bloemfontein, the capital of the Free State can not slip away, neither can Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal. Just as the approaches to Bloemfontein are left unpro- tected, so will the approaches to Pretoria be. All phases of the war now point either to surrender or to a seige of Pretoria.
 The current talk as ito intervention is very misleading. Neither the Transvaal nor the Orange Free State was an inde- pendent state. The foreign relations of both were and always have been in the hands of Great Britain, the suzerain. The protecting power the paramount authority, has always been Great Britain. Englands power in the Transvaal and In the Free State was not in some respects unlike her power in Egypt. No nation can well come between a suzerain, a lord paramount, and a rebellious subject. The Allen resolution is harmless, but the idea that intervention can occur in such a case as 1t could be- fetched. Oom Paul and President Steyn will have to deal directly with England, and no other country can help them out of a predicament they should have avoided.

 The new primary election law of Missis- sippl provides for primaries to be held on one day for all officers from governor down to constable.

CRONJE ON ST. HELENA

From the San Francisco Call.
 Great Britain is an artist in exiling. Be- naparte, the King of Delhi, successor to the Moguls, Arabi Pasha and the King of Bur nah have been successively the victims of her policy of punishment by living death. We have been her partner in one small job of that kind in the banishment of Samoan chief for the crime of being pre- ferred by his countrymen for their ruler
 While the punishment of Cronje may never be effected, that it springs up first of all propositions in the English mind, as a proper disposition to make of brave foeman, 1s a revelation of the mean spirit of revenge that goes along with the larce- nous politics of Chamberlain and Rhodes.

Mississippi LeqisIatiOn.

[ After a busy session In which many i'm portant bills were considered, the legisla- lure of the state to the west of us has adjourned without day. It appropriated a million dollars to the public schools of the state; fifty thousand dollars towards a textile school at Starkville, and a million dollars for new capitol.
 Four measures of far-reaching importance were considered and variously disposed of These were:
 l. The anti-lynch biH
 2. An antitrust law.
 g. Uniform textbook bill
 1. A primary election law.
 The vigorous assault made upon mob law by Governor Longno was considered be- yond public sentiment, and the original proposition was trimmed down and modi- fled until nothing was left but a tfeoretl- cal expression. The bill that was passed will not lessen mob violence It may be the entering wedge of an effective meas ure, but more than that it surely is not

In seeking immortals he has wan dored far from the white light of fame. and is lost in the shadows of commonplace mo- tordety.
 Some well-meaning persons found most of them in England refer to the great hearted Walt Whitman as a poet for the sole reason that his rubbish is unintelllgi- ble.
 Matthew Fontaine Maury did a great work in the way of Investigating the physl- special reference to the plateau of the deep extending from America to Europe. Our knowledge of the Gulf stream today is chiefly what he taught but it Is cruel to refer to so excellent and so praiseworthy a man as immortal. Prescott was merely a minor historian, too limited in his powers to have ever dreamed of fame for himself
 Jefferson Davis and Raphael Semmes prefer mot to deal with in t4hIs place, even in my capacity of sincere student of history which is all can claim to be. Neither one of these leaders can have place in my list even should deem it advisable at any time to revise that list, a wholly improbable con- tingency.

 The names of Brigham Young, John Brown and Harriet Beecher Stowe are feeby cried from outer darkness. Having forgotten fame, "F." runs riot with the ghosts of the madly notorious. Young was simply a rebellious and lustful person of low degree. As for John Brown, he was, mon madman. Yet I am mindful that the noblest of American masters of the pen, writing of this creature in the passion and hate of the darkest day of our country declared that he had made ''the gallows glorious as the cross" According to my faith, it is almost blasphemous to quote that language.
