THIS IS THE TINE.

The Aspen Democrat is new
morning paper at the famous silver
mining camp in Pitkin county. In
its initial number the editor tells
why the new venture is inflicted
upon the public, and then proceeds
to outline its policy, from which
we take the following extract:
while the Aspen Democrat will
advocate the wise policy Of the
coalition of the reform forces in
opposing the republican party, it
is. and will at all times continue to
be, democratic in politics. The
democratic, populist and silver res
publican parties are allied in the
noblest cause that can enlist human
energy and they are now marshall
ing their forces for one Of the
greatest struggles ever made in de-
fense of the republic against the
encroachments of the empire. If
there was ever a time when indi>
vidual ambition should be subordi>
mated to the triumph Of principle,
this year-Iooo is that time.
THE country is to be congratu>
lated upon the clearness with
which the issues are drawn be-
tween the democratic and republi-
can parties. If "a voter desires to
initiate England by furnishing
business for a large standing army
on the other side of the globe, all
he has to do is to read two plat
forms recently promulgated and
he knows what to do. If he be>
iieves in the doctrines OF Washing
ton, Jefferson and Monroe. that
the western hemisphere furnishes
US enough space in which to ex>

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1900-02-05

Henry Clews, in discussing the South
African situation, reaches a conclusion
that forces itself upon thoughtful men
everywhere when he says:
The British army seems to lack gener-
alship adapted to grapple with the Beers
and their mountain region fortified po-
sitions, which appear to be almost I'M
pregnabIe. The Beers have shown them
selves to be bold and fierce fighters, good
rifle shooters, and to possess lots OF en-
durance, besides which they have not
failed to take advantage Of the interval
between the Jameson raid and b pres
ent period to prepare for the emergency;
whereas, the British up to the commence
snent of the war simply did nothing IN
preparation for it, hence their present
disadvantage and apparent lack OF STRAIT
egical ~generaIship. OF course there can
be no doubt of the result in the end, be-
cause the British have the money, they
have the men,, and they have the pluck
too: but it does appear to me that the
generals are not quite up to the mark.
What the British will have to do, | am
inclined to think, to keep their army
abreast of the times will be to take their
leaders from the ranks and let merit
have full scope. People of noble birth
are not calculated to make the best com.
manders on tine battlefield. a major

Grant, who rank, in my opinion, as the
greatest generals that ever lived.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1900-02-05

The New York Tribune observes:
Amid all the tumult and the shouting
about American sympathy with the
Boer republics" it is we'll to listen to one
clear, sane voice, the voice of an earnest
friend of the Beers and probably the most
weighty and effective critic of the con-
duct of the British Government. "Nei-
ther the principles of 1889 no those OF
the Declaration of Independence find re-
cognition "among the Beers" That is
the testimony of MI. James Bryce, than

fess to know no better authority.

The New York Tribune Almanac for
1900 preserves the record for accuracy,
which this excellent work has always
enjoyed. Making no haste to get out On
the market first, and thus avoiding the
errors and omissions of some other alma
macs, the Tribune has nevertheless put
forth its almanac for 1900 promptly, and
has given the public a document on
which people can rely. A useful feature,
besides all the political, financial, and
other statistics of the year just past, is
found in the reviews of the Wars in the
Transvaal and the Philippines, the Peace
Treaty, the Army Beef scandal, the
Samoan troubles, the Alaskan boundary
matter, the Venezuelan arbitration, the
Mazet Committee investigation in New
