Mrs Tracy organized small but
earnest union at Spring Greek with
Mrs. Fannie Whitney as Pres, Mrs
Emma Morgan, Sec, and Mrs. Mary
Munkery as Treas.
With the strong christian sentI-
ment of the community the large
number of bright young people to
lend a hand, much will be accom-
pllshed by this union for they are of
those who not only believe in prohibit
ton, but are willing to sacrifice, work
and If needs be fight for It.
Spring and Plum Greek unions
have beautiful singers who sing not
only with the spirit and understand
but intelligibly to be heard of all
men. With such music no wonder
that many are added to the kingdom
of heaven in their vicinity.
Marvin and other points will be
visited later.
Mrs. Tracy believes in thorough
organization of the county for tenn
perence, and solicits the help and adj
vice of every friend of prohibition to
accomplish this work.
Plans are already being made for a
large and enthusiastic w CT q Co.
convention in the spring at Phillips
burg
The interest ia work for prohibition
has greatly increased during the past
year, and Mrs. Tracy says she hopes
to greatly enlarge the borders of w

ing the coming year.

HIS STRENGTH DEPARTING.

At one time Grover Cleveland wss
the idol of the democratic party, the
same as Mr.. Mckinley is now of the
republican. Today no man of such
prominence has less influence with
the democrats than Mr.. Cleveland.
Up to thirty days ago William Nc
Kinley's every act was accepted as
dogma Of the republican party. To-
day his policies are being rejected by
bis party. If Mr. Mckinley, follow
ing in the foot steps of Mr. Cleveland
attempts to be president in fact as
we'll as IN name, the fate OF Mr..
Cleveland will be his. The Senate,
strongly republican, refuses 10 agree
to treaties made by the president
with South American countries, and
his recommendation that free trade
be- permitted between this country
and Puerto Rico were turned down
instanter.

by side. Even the women are armed
to oppose the advance of the English.
How contemplate the attitude Of
England appears when confronted
with such a people. Is it 8 wonder
that she, is called the "rebber of the
natione,p and that whole Europe re-
joices whenever English troops are
compelled to turn their backs to the
foe2
The motive of the war is solely mer-
cenary. It Is contrary to every prin-
ciple of christianity. England would
not dare to make her preposterous
and outrageous claims upon any but
a weak nation She would not even
make such claims upon a weak nation
if that nation were not in possession
of the richest gold mines of the world.
IF the treatment of English miners
gives England righteous cause to
wage war against the Beers, America
can consistently wage war against
England for her unfair treatment of
miners in Canada. But the world
knows and England herself knows
that the so-called i'll treatment of
English miners is but pretense; the
real motive is to gain possession of
the Transvaal gold fields. Cecil
Rhodes himself declared that the uit-
landers (forelgners) were going into
the war for "practlcGl business" rea-
sons. What this practical business is
everyone can understand. The
Morning Leader, reputable, and re-
liable paper of London declares in
recent issue that the war was forced
by the influential men who serve the
interests of Cecil Rhodes, and that
the object sought as result Of the
war was entirely mereenary. Accord
ing to this London paper the lofty
and patriotic motive of Rhodes and
ais fellow conspirators is 10 secure

therefore the Boer government must
be destroyed by English troops. In
Boer territory the working day for
Kafir miners Is fixed at eight hours

British territory the working day is
fixed at twelve hours a day for seven
DAYS in the week It is this law ae-
cordlng to the Leader which Rhodes
wants changed. The change would
mean an increase OF about eleven
million dollars N dividends during
year. This is the practical business"
for which Rhodes, and mea of his
stamp have brought on this upright
eous war. They did not, however,

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.

During the past few months the at
tention of the whole civilized world
has been directed to the war in South
Africa, war carried on by the might
lest empire the world has ever seen
against two small republics whose
names and existence until lately was
unknown to many. It is not surprls-
ing that such contest should excite
universal interest. The claims of
England are so prepesterous and IN
grounded, the firm stand taken by
the Beers (farmers) against the lead
ing military power of the world was
so unexpected, the defeats inflicted
upon the chosen of England's troops
have been SO humiliat1ng to English
pride that the world has been taken
by surprise. The war has so far been
fall Of surprises. It was thought
that the British troops were we'll nigh
irresistible, but in this war they have
again and again been hurled back
broken and defeated. It was thought
that the Beers were but band of
guerillas unframed in modern meth:
DDS Of warfare, but results have
shown that discipline and tactics are
unexoellsd by any nation. Their hu-
name and christian treatment of Eng
lish prisoners, the respect shown for
public opinion and private rights
have effeetually proven that they
rank among the foremost civilized
nations of the world It was boast
fully claimed by the English that ar
tillery would in short time open the
way to Pretoria, the capital of Trans
vasl, but here another surprise await
ed them. At the battle of Colenso
the Beers dropped shell after she'll in
the English ranks, while the shells of
the English fell short. When Buller
attempted to bring his guns within
range the Beers shot down gunners
and horses, and captured twelve can
non. England is fated to experience
more painful surprises before this
bloody war ends, and whatever the
result of the war is will emerge dis
graced forever.
The war while it can bring to Eng
land only disgrace has gained for the
Beers the admiration and respect of
the world. To every unparalleled
mind it ip evident that they are fight
ing for independence. The spirit an
imating them is the spirit which AMI
mated American patriots in 1776.
While the English are hirellngs the
Beers are fighting without pay. They
are enduring every hardship without
a murmur, they are sacrificing all
that is near and dear to the human
heart to protect their land from the
grasp of the schemlng politician, and
Spectator, a. whose biding England
