The Transvaal special war tax Of
two s%hillings and six pence per acre

The Standard has received the fol-

from Koppies dam;
General Mcdonald, with a brigade
of infantry, a regiment OF Lancers and

Boer position at Magersfontein.
"Koppes dam commands the roads

The arrival of General McDonald's

Our Lancers had two brushes with

A CONSOLIDATION

Omaha, Feb. 6.-There is a revival Of
the talk around the Union Pacific head
quarters that a consolidation of the
freight and passenger agencies, of the
Union Pacific. Oregon Short Line and
Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany is a preliminary to the consolida-
ton Of the operating departments of
the three roads. and that in a short
time they will all be under the iuris-
diction of one general manager. and
that the general manager of the Union
Pacific. They we're operated in this
manner before the segregation Of the
roads under the r~eceivership. Men we'll
up in the railroad world express the
opinion the change Is sure to come as
it is expensive retaining so many high
salaried officials.

REMEDY

During the early part of October.
1896. l contracted a bad cold which set
tied on my lungs and was neglected
until I feared that consumption had ap-
peared in an incipient state. I was
constantly coughing and trying to ex-
pei something which l could not. I
became alarmed and after giving the
local doctor a trial bought a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the
result was immediate improvement,
and after I had used three bottles my
lungs were restored to their healthy

A BRIBERY AGAIN.
A Number Of Witness Testified for
the Defense.

Washington, Feb. GA number OF
witnesses were before the senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections in
connection with the investigation Of
the election of w. A. Clark to the SEN
ate from Montana. Among them were
State Senator CulIon, State Represent
alive Mclaughlin, Ben Falk and Harry
Ringwalt. Cullon testified that at a
previous meeting Of the legislature
Marcus Daily told him If Clark was
elected to the senate he should not take
his seat, and that his supporters would
be denounced as bride takers. Nc
Laughlin was put on to impeach the
testimony Of Speaker Stiff of the Mon
tana legislature concerning the sale of
timber lands to Clark just before the
beginning of the session Of the legisla-
ture. He said he had sold his land to
Clark for $24, 900, or much less than its
proper valuation; that he made the sale
through Mr.. Bickford, and that in max
ing 1t he had not discussed the United
States senatorial contest with Bickford.
Ringwalt told Of a conversation which
he had with Mr.. Whiteside before the
meeting of the legislature in which the
latter had told him there was to be a
big sensation in connection with
Clark's senatorial race and that $50, 900
would be spent in it.
During the day a letter from DR..
Bickford. which was opened in Camp
bells office, while in the hands OF Ben
Hill, was put in as evidence. The com-
mittee declined to go into correlative
questions bearing upon the legislative
elections in Montana in 1899.

THEY DON'T LIKE It
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF KEN
lucky LEGISLATURE DON'T
WANT TO BACK DOWN.
Say They Are in the Right and Have
Nothing to Agree Upon-Action Of
Taylor's Representatives at Frank
fort Looked Upon With Contempt
by the London People.

London, KY, Feb. 7.-(Special to The
Republican.)-A joint causus Of the
house and senate representatives was
called off last night after a conference
of the inner circle members. 1t was
concluded that it would be bad policy
to ask governor Taylor to reassert his
intention in the present fight. The ac-
ton of Taylor's representatives at
the Louisville conference is looked up
on with contempt by republican legis-
lators here. One leader said: I'VE do
lot want to be held up to the public
view as a lot of school boys. We would
never have come down here had VIC be-
lieved there would be a surrender at
Frankfort"
Senator Jolly, who was elected presi-
lent pro ten of the senate yesterday,
sent the following message to Governor
Taylor this morning: I'VE don't want
any agreement. We are in the right
and have nothing to agree upon. Mem
bers Of both houses are unanimously
against the agreement" Legislators
are inclined to bolt any agreement that
Taylor may sign. In case Taylor
should back down, it will prooa, bly,
cause a split in the republican RANKS.
The bold front OF the legislature indi-
Gates that a solution may be farther
away than many imagine.

The Great Presidential Cam
noirn nF 1Qn0

The wars of America have, heretofore
settled affairs Of state. Great questions
OF policy, of national motives and
national conclusions have been answered
as soon as the battle smoke cleared away,
and the victor realized his victory. The
war with Spain is unlike its predecessors.
1t has not answered questions, but has
created problems which maynot be soly-
ed lightly. These problems are being
formulated by the political parties, and
before they can be definitely settled at
the ballot box it is necessary that the
people be informed in regard to the
situation. The result of the campaign
of 1900 will make a broad mark upon the
page Of history; it viii doubtless es-
tablish the policy Of the great Republic
of America for a quarter of a century.
It is vastly important, therefore, that
every citizen shall study the situation
through that best Of mediums, a great
newspaper. The most reliable news
paper, the best newspaper, is the Semi
Weekly Republic, which affords a com
prehonsiye view Of the political situation
in all its bearings. Itpubishes the new
news. The Semi Weekly Republic is a
Democratic paper, but it offers to its
readers the news regarding all the pOiti-
