IN SCUM AFRICA.

There seems to be a tendency to e
sationaliZe the reports from South
Africa, to pander to the strong pro-Boer
sentiment that is dominant in many
localities. A British victory is mini
mized as to it's ultimate effects on the
situation, while a Boer victory is herald
ed as proof positive that the burghers
are in the ascendancy. The only fair and
impartial way in which conditions on the
dark continent may be analysed, is to
estimate the ultimate effects of the
movements made by the contending par
ties, rather than base conclusions on the
temporary triunphs achieved by either
side. Lord Roberts squirt to Bloemfon-
tein did not settle the issues of the war
in favor of the crown, nor did the cap
ture of five hundred British soldiers by
the Beers confirm Kruger's title to sue
cess. Nor is delay on the part of either
side an evidence Of weakness or discour-
agement.
Like the audience at a prize fight, the
world is impatient when war is in prog
ress for heavy blows to be struck. Mil
lions of men in the peaceful vocations OF
life are acting as self-constituted ref
erees in the South African war. An
uppercut, or a blow on the %iugular, is
duly noted as a preliminary to a final
Knockout, and in this way is the mo-
! mentous struggle between Great Britain
| and the Boer republic measured as the
days roll by.
Back of the physical expressions of the
fight, however. lie the great propelling
forces of the objects to be attained. The
Transvaal has at stake the life of the
Kruger republic, While Great Britain
has thrown into the balance her sover-
eighty in South Africa, and in all likeli.
hood her power in Egypt and the Eas1
Indies. Victories and defeats along the
skirmish lines cannot definitely settl,
such important issues. Before the con
illusions of the war are reached one sid
or the other must be too seriously Grip
pied to make the further prosecution o
the contest impossible. 1t is war to
finish, for the prestige of Great Britain
is at stake, quite as much as is the per
petuity of the Kruger republic.
Under such conditions few hasty or i'll

EXTRAORDINARY SESSION.
T. B. MILLER
Secretary.

Governor Smith has 'given it out cold,
that under no circumstances will he re-
convene the Legislature. This announce
ment, in advance of the necessity for
such action, betrays the servility of his
eNcellency to the influence of the Ana
conda democracy. In no other way
could he have more widely advertised
himself as the plant tool of that faction
of his party.
The refusal of a democratic governor
to convene a democratic legislature in
extraordinary session, to elect a demo-
cratic senator, when the necessity arises,
is a confession of political subserviency
that is disgusting in the extreme. Gov
ernor Smiths announcement that he will
not call the legislature together is based
on III belief that such an action would
result IN the reelection of Senate,
Clark.
Those who do most strenuously insis,

that Mr.. Clark purchased his election at
the regular session of the legislature in
1899, would hardly have the nerve to
claim that such a course of procedure
would be again undertaken should an
extraordinary session of the Legislature
be held. With nothing to fear from the
illegal use of money, so soon after the
action of the senate committee, why
should the DAILY men object to the hold
ing of an extraordinary session?
Is not the fear of Mr.. Clark's re-elec-
ton based upon a belief that a majority
of the joint assembly are loyal to Clark's
interests on general principles, and would
promptly vote for his return to the SEN
ate? Is it not tantamount to a confess
sion that Mr.. Clark's vindication would
not depend upon dollars and cents. but
upon a feeling in the legislative assem-
bly, that a wrong must be repaired?
Rather than permit a senatorial va
caney to exist, to be filled by the repub-
lican legislature in 1901, the DAILY demo-
Gratis ought to insist upon an extraor-
binary session of the legislature. just as
soon as it is definitely settled that the
vacancy actually exists. Were they loyal
to their party they would insist upo this
course, and the fact that they do not
implies the fear that they cannot control
the joint assembly. hence dare not agree
to it's convention.
1t is a pitiable state of affairs when
| democrats who assume to control the
| affairs of their party dare not convene a
| democratic Legislature to fulfill a func-
| ton of statehood. If the defeat of Sen
ator Clark meets with the approval
throughout Montana. which the Ana
conda Standard so persistently claims,
why fear his reelection by the Sixth
legislative assembly convened in extraor-
binary session?

AIMING AT ZERO.

A roulette bank at Monte Carlo starts
generally with from $4,000 to $4,000
agenerally with from $4,000 to $4,000,
according to season., and the bank Is
considered broken when this sun Is
lost.
Very often when the bank has been
broken twice in succession, the play is
stopped at this particular table n the
roulette taken away; proof that the
administration does not believe in the
possibility of pure chance.
1t is either the roulette or the crOupier
that must be out of gear, because after
a certain time, fifteen or thirty min
utes, he sets the disc moving and the
ball rolling with the same swing, so to
say, and the result is that the ball will
fall time after time into the same Sec
ton of the disc.
The consequences of this phenomenon
lave been more than once disastrous
to the bank in years past, hence
croupiers are changed every half hour,
or each thirty coup are made by a
fresh hand.
Some 500 coups are played daily at
each table.
AS a further proof thai the hand can
acquire a certain monotony may be
cited the fact that at the Croupiers'
school, at the Condamine, there is a
daily practice of aiming at zero"
Zero is the bankers chance. says an
English newspaper. winning all other
stakes, except, of course, it's own, and
the single ones which are put zen
prison. tied over until the text coup:
wiser au zero is the croupier's constant
preoccupation.

A QUESTION OF ACCENT.

A Japanese correspondent writes us
with reference to the sketch entitled
Something New About Mochi,'' publish
ed in last nights issue, that the mistake
of two foreigners whose adventures are
recounted therein, was entirely due to a
misplaced accent. Thus mochi. with the
accent on the first syllable. is bird-lime,
whereas mochi, with the accent on the
last syllable. is the celebrated New York
lake. And yet Mr.. Chamberlain declares
there is no accent in Japanese for all
practical purposes. and hat the empha-
sis should be equally distributed. The ex-
perience Of foreign students continually
demonstrates the danger of acting upon
