An Expensive War.

London, Nov. 9.-In addition to be-
Jog confronted with the still unsubdued
Boer war in South Africa, the Govern
ment, il seems likely, will have TO face
me antagonism OF the capitalists Oh
whose account, according to the libeT-
ais, the war was mainly waged
rhe war was certainly Instituted by
capital who expected to derive b
handsome prof. from il, out when they
last year urged the Government 10 the
course which resulted 10 the Boer ulll-
matum it was expected that the cost Of
the war would be less than $4,000, 900.
Now when the Government is threat
ened with a bill for about 5000, COG, 600
az the cost of the war, the Sonlh Air
can mine owners are beginning TO ss:ert
that the whole OF the cost must be bornt
by the British taxpayers. Robinson
one OF the most prom nent Of the South
African mice owners, declared yester
day that If il taxed the mines the Gov.
eminent would stir up feeling of AMI
mostly which would prove most dan
gerous to the imperial interests. Those
behind the scenes say that this is resll,
threat 90 the part of the capitalists
uot 10 resume work. and not to resettlt
the mining regions if ny tax is imposed
upon them. In that event the Govern
ment would have to care Tor the thOus-
iDds of starving Outlsnders who are

At Lincoln. Neb., yesterday, Mr..
William J. Bryan made the following
statement 10 regard to the election:
"The result was surprise to me,
and the magnitude OF the republican
victory was a surprise to our opponents
as we'll as TO hose who voted our ticket.
II is impossible to anslyZs the returns
until they are more complete, ou',
speakiog generally, we seemed TO nave

lost in the smaller cities and the couutry.
The republicans we're able 10 secure
tickets or passes for ell OF their voters
who were away from home. and this
afforded them considerable advantage
1--WE have no way of knowing at THIS
time how much money was spent 10 the
purchase of votes and in colonization.
Rut while these would account for
some of the republican gains. they
could not account for widepresd In
creases 10 the republican vott. The
prosperity argument was probably the
most potent one used by the republi-
cans. They compared conditions with
the panic times OF 1913 toes, and this
argument had weight with those who
did not stop to consider the reasons for
the cnauge.

couraged. The fight must 20 on.
am sure that the republican DO icies
