A few days ago, In the interests Of
peace, the Sun commended TO the atten-
ton Of the two bclIigereuts In south
Africa, the following passage In the
message which President Mckinley
had addressed 20 the American Con
gress after hostilitIes had begun:
This government has maintained an
attitude OF neutrality in the unfostnn-
ate contest between Great Britain and
the BOer states OF Africa. We have
remained faithful to the preoept OF
avoiding entangling alliances as TO az
fairs not Of our direct concern. Had
circumstance suggested that the par
ties to the quarrel would have welcam-
ed any kindly expression OF the hope OF
the American people that war might be
avoided, good offices would have been
gladly rendered
This win be timely reading at every
attempt to make capital at Republican
expense out OF this governments sedu.
lous avoidance OF rushing in as med
iator, without invitation or intimation
tuat our oHsF "nulu bt welcome. IN Il
Mr.. Mckinley, so far as was consistent
with the neutrality that he, as Pres
Ident of the United States, was bound
rigidly to observe, expressed the
American aversion to the war and the
longing TO see 1t closed before an AZ
rican republics Independence should
be conquered by European monarchy
even though the latter during the
Spanish war had been friendly to the
United States.

persistent mis-: representation and abus-,

the Federalists were monarchists at
heart, and bent on an alliance with
Great Britain. and jefferson was elect
ed President. They hope to repeat the
operation this year. But the majority
of the people of this country are better
informed now than they were q hun
dred years ago; the means of obtain
ing information are a thousand times
better; there is no such general hatred
and distrust Of Great Britain as there
was century ago; and the propaganda

cratic party into power by stirring up
hatred toward the nation which has

which has now the most friendly spirit

THE KENTUCKY SITUATION.

The political situation in Kentucky
has been very complicated, and has
changed. and is stiil changing. from
day to day. There are certain facts,
however. that may be kept tn mind
which may b. a guide in interpreting
the news as it comes
First-The election for governor and
other state officers was CONDUCTED un-
der the Goebel law, by the provisions
OF which the election judges in every
precinct. instead Of being selected by
their neighborS, were appointed by
three Democratic election commission
ers. The returns sent In by these
Judges were counted by q board Of
three election commissioners, all oS
whom were Democrats md these com
mlssioners counted the nstnrns. and
found that Taylor was elected, and
gave him the certificate; and he was
duly iuauguEate1 as governor. There
can De 10 reasonable doubt that Tsy-
Ior was eicctsd governor.
seeond-Tbe Legislature ne'. and a
contest Was started by GoebsI and
Beckham for the Offices OF governor
and lieutenant governor. The lsstsia-
tive committee c0utaiasd ten Demo
Gratis and one Republican, and their ~
port was strictly PARTISAN. Before Il

About ten years ago a young widow

A curious explanation Of the method
by which longleaf pine seedlings pro-
tect themselves against forest fires Is
given by Clifford Pinchet, forester of
the department Of agriculture. In or
der to strengthen the struggle for
existence of the young tree nature
gives 1t a thickness OF bark not un-
commonly as great as that OF the wood
itself, but the young trees have a
further device for the promotion of
their safety when growing in long
grass. as they almost always do. In
the first four or Ave years of its growth
the longleaf seeding seldom reaches
a height Of more than four or FIVE
inches above the ground. But while
the stem is thus making leIsureIy prog
ress the long needles shoot up and
bend over in a green cascade, which
falls to the ground in a circle about
the Seeding. This barrier of green
needles not only burns with difficulty.
but shades out the grass around the
young stem, and SO prepares a double
fire-resistlng shield about the vitals of
the young tree This is the reason
why fire, which has kept down the
growth of evergreen oaka in parts Of
Florida, for example. has made a pure
forest OF pines in region where oaks
thrive splendidly when they are SO
placed as to be beyond the influence OF
forest fires

Few nt1UI gusts now came from the

by what seemed a flight of small start

had heard was true. The detectives
would not be likely to interfere with his
plans, for he was the only man who real
~ wished to meet the fugitive The pres
cnce of Poole made him uneasy, though
he had never met the man before. Was
it barely possible that he was ON the
same mission on behalf of others? If
what he heard was true there might be
others equally involved with the abscond-
ing manager. But then the spies-how
could the deputy sheriff elude them, and
how could he?
He was turning impatiently away from
the window when his eye caught sight
Of Il struggling file of Cinnamon breast
ing the storm on their way up the hill.
A sudden idea seized him. Perhaps they
were the spies in question. He remem-
bered the drivers story-a sudden flash
of intuition made him now understand
the singular way the file of coolies which
they met had diverted their course after
passing the wagon. They had recognized
the deputy ON the box. Stayl-there was
another Chinaman in the coach; he might
have given them the signal. He glanced
hurriedly aroHnd the room for him; he
was gone. Perhaps he had already join
cd the file he had just seen. His only
hope was to follow them-but how? and
how to do it quietly? The afternoon was
waning, it would be three or four hours
before the down coach would arrive,
from which the driver expected assist
ancc. Now, if ever, was his opportunity.
He made his way through the back
door and found himself among the straw
and chips of the stable yard and wood
She'd. Still uncertain what to do, he me-
chanically passed before the long shed
which served as temporary stalls for the
steamfug wagon horses. At the further
