f[DEQAl FOR([5 FALLING BACH
Plans OF the Beers Trouble the Brit
ish Leaders-Free State Capital
is Again Transferred.

London, May 10.-While the
progress of Lord Roberts army
continues apace, there are con-
fiicting indications of the Boer
plans, though all the reports
agree that the federal forces are
falling back. From one source
it is stated that the Free State
capital has been removed from
KrOonstadt TO HeilbrOn. This
would indicate that the Beers
have no firm intention of making
a stand at the former place.
One story from Pretoria des-
cribes British force as travel
ing the Vaal. Rumors that the
Beers are retreating are definite
from BasutOland and vague from
Zand river. Olivier has aban-
dOned Ladybrand and the com
mandoes are also described as
retiring from FickSburg in con-
sequence of rumorS that the Bri-
tish have occupied Senelzal.
These Withdrawals are the direct
result Of Gen. Roberts rapid ad-
vance northward, since the
Beers are compelled to cOncen-
trate all their available forces for
final stand in the Free State.
Gen. Roberts own Judgment is
vindicated in ordering the ad-
vance without assaulting the
/ Dutch positions ut Thaba N'Chu,
and without following the Beers
to Ladybrand. He has cleared
his eastern flank in most effect
i've way without bloOdShed or
loss of time. The Boer positions
at Thaba N'Chu have been found
to be well nigh impregnable. and
Rundles' men have been protect
ed against useless butchery. The
Beers are also reported to be re-
firing from the Zand river to-
ward the Vaal, but it is more
likely that they are choosing the
best possible position Of defense

TRIBUNE is SINCERE AGAIN.

The Chicago Tribune has begun it's
annual war on repu blican measures.
1t is vigorously opposing the ship sub
sidy bill, the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
and the protective tariff which enables
manufacturers to sell their products
abroad cheaper than they will at
home. 1t warns republican congress
men from the west that vote for the
So bsidy bill means defeat for reelec-
ton. But republican congressman
will pay no attention to the Tribune's
admOnitions. They remember it's po.
sition on the Porto Rican job and how
quickly it CHM bed into the band
wagon. The Tribune simply opposes
partisan schemes long before election
time, but always chimes in tone with
party leaders just before election. Its
conscientious opposition to protec-
tive tariff has never altered its devo-
ton to a republican platform at
election time. 1t will give lots of ad-
vice for months to come, but when
1902 rolls around it will favor the
election OF every republican congress-
man who votes for the subsidy scheme
or any other nefarious measure as
long as it is republican.
But the Tribune's present observa-
tions are interesting, although they
do not count for much. For instance
on the ship subsidy bill:
The men who vote for the pending
subsidy bill will not hear the last of
it for many years. Representatives,
especially those from the middle west,
who have been reelected, and who
wish to remain in political life, should
be cautious about committing them
selves to 4 measure which their con-
stituents do not favor. 1t is difficult
to see how the middle west is to be
benefited by this legislation which
eastern shipbuilders and the owners
of ocean greyhounds' are clam oring
for.
The mass of the people are I'M
able to see how this proposed subsidy
legislation is to benefit them, while
they do see how it will benefit a
small but favored class. The com
mon people see that the intention is
to tax them to aid men who already
have large means. The people will
not submit patiently to such an abuse
OF legislative power.
This subsidy bill should not be
thrust to the front at this session. 1t
should be left to the consideration of
the next congress and of new men,
just from the people, and who may
prefer to 60 before their constituents
at the elections of 1902 with better
record than they will make by voting
for a measure which contemplates
taxing the many, who have little
money for -he benefit of q few who
have much"
And yet if Hanna gets his pet
scheme through the Tribune will &C
cept it, and when occasion offers,
champion the author of it, as of old.
