BULLER AGAIN WHIPPED
The Beers Administer Another
Defeat

San Francisco, Feb. l0.-Au En-
gland now finds no escape from the
conviction that the third and most
promising attempt to relieve Lady
smith mas resulted in utter and ire
trievable failure.
The aE utterances that come from
officials Of the War Office only assist
in confirming the opinion that the task
of carrying the strong Boer positions
directly north of the Tu@ela river was
too much for the British commander
with the guns at his disposal.
The rough country over which the
heavy ordnance had to be transported
made it an herculean task for the men
and beasts. The effectiveness of the
British fire was not helped by the
hastily prepared positions. At any
rate, further advance was found to L.
improbable at this time and the pubu-
is prepared for further bad news

Porto Rican people in which party
their real friends are to be found.
1t is to be remembered that, except
for the revenue from duties there was
no taxation system in Porto Rico un-
der Spanish rule, and there has not
been time vet to provide one: so that
without a customs tariff, the island
would be destitute of means to meet
the most trivial current expenses. Its
trade to and from other countries
would not be enough, under the Ding.
ley rates, as now applied to all other
nations in full, to afford sufficient
revenue. But it is distinctly planned
in the law itself to devise some suit.
able system of internal taxation for
home purposes that shall be arranged
by the local legislature elected by the
people Of Porto Rico, under the same
statute; and when that shall be done
full free trade will go into operation
between Porto Rico and the rest OF the
United States.
The law also expressly provides than

time enough to bridge over the gap
between treasury without internal
income and the improved conditions
Of the island, and also affording ample
opportunity to test and make COM

United States, as well as its duty, to
care first of all for our own people,
our present population and ,citizels,

reason enough to command the vC.e

TWO M ESSAGES
From the Far Ea.t TO the America,
PEOPLE


From the Far Ea.t TO the American
People.
Hon. John Barrett, former minister
OF the United States to Siam, is now
making speeches in the Republican
campaign. In the opening one in New
York city, he riveted tn eattention of
his immense audience by two messages
which he brought from the far east.
The first of these is from the King OF
Siam, who said:
60 back to the American people
and tell them that l, an Asiatic mon
arch, speaking almost the same lam
guage as the Filipinos, having the
same blood in my veins, and knowing
the hopes and impulses of the people
of Asia-go back and tell them that
welcome America to the Philippines
and the far east, as a great and good
power"
The Siamese monarch is one of the
greatest statesmen of the orient, the
ruler over millions of people, whose
kingdom is as prosperous as is Japan.
American people, the second one
brought by Mr.. Barrett surpasses. it,
because of the mournful interest which
surrounds it. 1t is message from a
Nebraska colonel, but not one like
Colonel Bryan. 1t is from the dead
Colonel Stotsenburg. 1t was his regi-
ment which was on picket duty when
the Filipino outbreak Of February,
1899, occurred. 1t was one Of his men,
a resident of Lincoln, who fired the
break through our lines. Colonel Stot-
senburg led charge against the rebels
and fell mortaly wounded. AS he lay
there, the death dew on his pale brow,
realizing that the end had come, he
said:
Yes, boys, you can tell the Ameri-
can people that |, as colonel in COM
mand, knowing all the incidents, say
that the responsibility for this trouble
does not rest on the American army
nor on the American government; Tell
them that l said with dying breath,
that we were deliberately fired on by
enemies of the United States, and that
there should be no end of the conflict
except their unconditional surrender"
Contrast these words of the dying
Nebraska hero with those of that other
Nebraska colonel, whose military eX-
perience was in camp, and who de-
clares that if he should be elected
president OF the United States, he
would summon congress in extra ses-
sion to offer what would be virtual
surrender to these rebels In arms
against the American government.

AS TO POLYGAMY,

When the Mormon church, in It's
fight for "the twin relic,". polygamy,
contended that congress violated the
constitution by its hostile legislation,
because congress had no right to i'm
pair the safeguards which protect the
civil rights of every citizen, whether
in state or territory, the supreme court
held that the power of congress over
the territories was absolute; that con.
gress could make valid acts of the ter

GERMAN OPINION.
NEW YO9K SThATS ZsITUNG ABAN-
DONS BRYANlSM.


william j. BRYAN, aud Therefore the
Leading German Daily of New York
Abandons His Cause.
Below is given an editorial article
from the New York Staats Zeitung,
the leading German daily of the me-
tropolis, and the one which has been
welded to Bryan's silly delusion of
imperialism" 1t will be seen that as
a Gold Democrat in principle and con-
viction the Staats-Zeitung is now hon
orably and sensibly consistent in re-
peating in this campaign is opposition
to the silver candidate in 1896:
THE Democratic candidate has
forced the silver question into the fore
ground again and thus has Teawaken-
ed the fear that his election would
carry with it terrible consequences for
the nation. No man yet has been
elected president because he possessed
striking, brilliant qualities. The peo-
pie demand rightly that the candidate
shall have certain sterling traits Of
character and a solid element of con-
servatism in him, SO that one can look
to his administration with canfdenco
and, above all, with calm security. The
prospect that he might win such faith
has been considerably diminished by
Bryan by his revival of the silver
question.
I'VE have declared from the first
that this year the silver swindle and
Imperialism cannot be beaten simul-
taneously and that the voter must
make up his mind clearly which of the
two evils must be done for first and
which might wait. We had hoped that
the silver question would play no role;
we still stick to our belief that it is
disposed of and requires no further
consideration; and we feel sure that
it is less this question than doubt Of
Bryan's trustworthiness which h2s
brought 1t forward again and so hurt
the Democratic candidate; but the ia
remains that the old alarm is aroused
again"

every year, the tctal Number OF pen-
sioners is now about round 1,00O,c 600
CT $4,000 increase under Mckinley ane

LEFT upon the rolls.
The psnslcn payments last yeai
were over soO,OOo,OOO more than. in

years under President Hayes-fscts
taat show the growth of the pension
benefaction. The total pension pay
rlents since 1866 will exceed s2.40O,-
100000. an amount without parallel in
the worlds history.
In addition to all that has been done
the present Republican congress enact
ed three important amendments to the
pension laws That of April IS, 1900,
provides pensions for the Spanish
war, even though the benefciaries
may have been southern soldiers, thus
practically confirming in the laws the
truth that the Union is at last fully
reunited. The act of April 23, 1900,
makes ample additional provision for
pensioners of the war with Mexico.
The act of May 8, 1900, known as 1.-The
Grand Army BILL" makes even more
liberal the great Republican law of
June 27, 1890, and is expected to add
thousands to the pension rolls. Sec
tion third of this act, upon the recon-
mendation of Commissioner Evans,
approved both by Secretary of the In
terror Hitchcock and President Nc
Kinley, is alone expected to add to the
benefits of soldiers widows about
S3,50O,0O0 every year, and to include
in its generosity $4,000 to 10000
widows of our soldiers.
Upon these records the Republican
party rightfully rests it's claim upon
the generosity and support of every
soldier with particle of gratitude in
his heart, and every friend of such
soldier, particularly when considered
in contrast with what the Democratic
party when in power has done for the
soldiers, and it's continued obstruction
to every endeavor to secure full JUS
tice from the United States for Its
defenders

upon his action at once, and raising
the gun to his shoulder fired at the

the snakes head fell to the ground.
The boy was badly frightened, and

State Treasurer Herriott proposed a
new scheme of railway assessment
taking the net earnings and capitalize
ing them at s per cent to produce the
assessed valuation. This would have
given a total valuation of s4s.5 500 900
This plan was objected 10 because it
did not deduct from The net earnings
the taxes paid by the companies. an ex-
pense item in 1899 of Bal 424.134 Apply
ing Mr.. Herriott's rule after deducting
the taxes from net earnings it would
have reduced the total assessment to

assessment. The council thought il Was

upon one years earnings. They
say that il this basis should be adopted

The Final Figures.

Des Moines, March 24-The executive
council yesterday concluded the assess
ment of railway property in the state.
The computations are not quite com
plete, but the aggregate assessment is
increased about 81, 800, 0OO Last year it
was s44633. Gel and this year it will be
something over S46,0O0,000. This increase
is caused by the 600 miles of new lines
built in Iowa during the past year. The
lines wera assessed at an average of
about $500 mile. Those not complet-
ed but where some work had been done
are assessed a 81 900 a mile and the sec
rotary of the council is looking for more
of these lines that have not been report
ed which will increase the total assess
ment. On the old lines there have been
reductions OH branches of the Rock Is
land and c., b. & @. and some other
small lines amounting to $750000. The
main line of the Northwestern has been
increased $3.50 a mile and other increas-
es in old lines have been made aggre-
eating about 100000.
The following table gives the as
sessment for this year as made up by
the council yesterday. The number of
miles of every road in the state and the
assessed valuation fixed by the council
per mile is given in the table that fol-
lows:
