tressed by a nuisance near his nome
in Washington, and they had hit upon
the same way of preparing to prevent
it's recurrence, neither noticing what
the other had done, and their col
leagues being Indifferent to the whole
subject. In like manner there are
three separate enactments calling for
an annual report in detail of expenses
on account of the National geological
Park, while five others for a report
by the Secretary Of Agriculture-no
specification his investigation of the
adulteration of foods, drugs, and llq-
uors, with full particulars of his ex-
periments. Now and then there Will
be two or more enactment5 which COW
er the same subject, but one in more
detail than the other For instance,
the Postmaster General is required, by
two separate laws, to report annually
1.-THE facts and his recommendations on
claims of Postmasters for losses by
fire, burglary, &c, exceeding the sum
of 2,0O0'f; while one requires him to
report annually Gin each particular
case" the result Of his investigation of
claims of Postmasters for the loss of
money order funds, postal funds, post
age stamps, &C., resulting from burg
larry, fire, &c"
1t will be seen, therefore, that in the
very exercise of it's precautions to in
sure the fulfllmert of the laws it en-
acts, Congress is as careless as the
officers it undertakes to discipline.
But the multiplicity Of reports, and the
reports upon reports, no matter wheth-
er any one reads them or not, all go |
to swell the document list, and make
fiat copy" for faithful constituents in |
the Government Printing Office. And |
without such privileges, pray what
would half the Nations lawmakers
find to their taste in public life?--

OFFICERS OF THE BoER ARMY.

| OFFICERS OF THE BOER ARMY.
That the strategy and tactics of the
Beers have been admirable is acknowl-
edged on all sides; that they are the
result of foreign guidance is open to
question. Surely it is better to admit
that we were mistaken in our estimate
of the fighting qualities of the Boer
than to take from him one jot Of the
credit due to- him as a soldier. In his
own peculiar methods of warfare he Is
unsurpassed, and 1t is these, not the
rules of science manuals or the parade
ground, which have bafiled our gene
rails.
Not so long ago the armchair critic
was describing the Beers as poor, in
significant "rabble of farmers" de-
soription which betrayed depth ofNig-
norance as ridiculous as 1t was inexcus-
able. The Boer is a born soldier the
product of over a century's constant
warfare against the natives His the.
DRY may be all wrong; but, as he Is an
apt pupil in the school of experience,
he recks little Of that. So admirably
does he adapt his methods to cirsum-
stances that it amounts to positive gem
ius. Many of them have been borrowed
from the Kaffirs others are the result
of the nature Of the country, but as
we have suffered from them in previ-
Gus war, it might have been supposed
that a repetition was impossible. To
ascribe Boer successes to the military
ability of foreigners casts a reflection
on our officers which they do not de-
serve-Army and Navy Gazette.

\ Good Fish story,

The following from the Republic is
about the best fish story that has
wandered down this way during the
season:
There IS a wonderful fish in Alaska.
which, when dried, is used as IL candle.
the Alaskan inserts the tail of the
dried fish in "a crack of his rough
wooden table and lights its nose. The
fish burns with Il bright and steady
fame Of about three candle power.
giving a clear white light and coDsid-
cradle heat. A fairly large fish will
burn about three hours. The fish is
very fat and its vertebrate are formed
largely of phosphorus thus the fat Is
ta!low and the vertebrate the wick of
this curious candle. If necessary it
can be eaten afterwards, being nicely
smoked.

FLORI SAYS ITS \ LIE.
An Effort of the Opposition to Create
a Prejudice Against II Isepun-
Iican Candidate.

A Fulton dispatch says: Hon Joseph
Flory arrived here at $40. His bust
ness was to meet with the officials of
of the Chicago and Alton Railroad.
which meeting had been called by the
people of Fulton to see if better train
service could not be obtained on the
south branch of the Chicago and
Alton road.
Mr.. Flory was asked if it was true
that he worked in the Wabash yards.
taking a striking switchman's place in
St. Louis in 1889. as had been charged
by Mr.. Geo. Wagner. He said he
did not work in the Wabash yards in
hat city. but was "a conductor on the
road at that time and did such work
as was necessary when he made his
runs into the yards. He denounced
the report as IA campaign lie. got up
by Mr.. Wagner to injure his stand
ing among the railroad mel of Mis-
sCuri. He was met here by a large
number of leading Republicans of the
county, who gave him assurances of
thair hearty support in the coming
election.

time bring considerable revenue
into the treasury of the state. In
that state no person can be served
with liquor at either hotel or
saloon without first taking out a
license which costs SIS per year
and has to be shown upevery time
that a purchase is made. The law
also requires that every six months
a complete list of those holding
license shall be published.

TEE President and Secretary of
the Treasury Gage credit Bryan
with possessing extraordinary
power when they claim that he
would be able to change the money
base while strictly obeying the
letter of their boosted gold stan
dard law. In view of the fact that
silver was demonetized in 1878
and both political parties demand
ed a return bimetallism in their
platforms for twenty years there
after and bimetallism was never
secured, Mr.. Bryan must be an
extraordinary man if he can do
away with the gold standard while
strictly obeying the law as it
exists and receiving no assistance
frow Congress. M. Mckinley, is
not your position little absurd?

THERE is strife for supremacy
in the Pennsylvania coal regions
between the miners and the coal
barons. There are $4,000 out on
strike and half starved men and
their families give answer to the
cry of tho republican party of full
dinner pals and prosperity. The
miners grivances have been of
long standing: For years the
average wages has been less than
so cents a day. While trusts have
forced miners to pay an increase
from Is to As per cent for food and
clothing the wage scale has re-
NAMED the same. The miner was
compelled to pay 1915 per key
for powder, which cost the coal
trust S1.00 key. The miner was
forced to dig 1850 pounds of coal
for ton, and was also compelled
to purchase his supplies at COM
pany store at trust prices.

THEN AND NOW.

The republican campaign text
book for 1892, (pages ISL to 1897,
gives the following as the position
of the republican party at that
time on hequestion of bimetalism
"Nine-tenths of the people are bimetal-
lists. They want both money metals used
because they believe that both are need
ed to sustain the worlds commerce. The
republican party honestly and intelli-
gently answers their wishes. President
Harrison is bimetalist, as his official
papers and speeches show. The republi-
can platform declares for bimetalism and
in that respect faithfully represents the
course of the party. The republican
policy seeks broader tary basis.
The world scommerce expands SO rapidly
the volume of paper currency and of
various credit substitutes for money,
which must be supported by the specie
basis, has become 80 vast-that scarcely
any can be found to deny that commerce
and industry would be safer If the entire
stock of $3,711.845,0O0 gold and $3,929,
$1,000 silver in the world (see estimate
of Director of the Mint Leech, Table A }
could be freely employed as foundation
instead of only part of that amount.
Al matters stand in the great commercial
nations of the world, the credit system
and the commercial exchanges now rest
upon the stock of gold as the only basis.
A bimetallic system would render the
commerce and industry of these nations
safer and more healthy. Serious losses
and great risks are incurred through the
constant disturbance Of exchanges be-
tween gold-usine and silver-using coun-
tries. Even in Great Britain, where gold
monometalism is worshiped as it is no.
where else, the greatest statesmen and
the most powerful boards of trade are at
Their wits end to discover some way of
escaping the frightful losses IN commerce
with the east which have this very year
involved great banks and firms in ruin
The money plank of the rep
publican party adopted at Phila-
delphia July FL, 1900 states:
"We declare our steadfast opposition
to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. We renew our allegiance to the
principle Of the gold standard"
