we're lost in yesterdays explosion az

that a strong force of British will be

has the following from Ladysmith,
dated Saturday, March Sd:
THE Beers conducted their retreat
in most mastery fashion, without the
loss of single wagon or an OK. Only
a few small companies have fallen into
our hands. In point of fact, we were
able TO make only feeble efforts to in
terfere with their retirement.

A MUCH-NEEDED WARNING

1t Is not inOpportune at this time to
issue a warning to the st. Paul Street
Railway company-to warn that corpora
ton that If it persists In the policy
which it has pursued since it secured
possession of the street railway system
of this city, it will not be very long be-
fore a strong prejudice inimical to its
interests will be created in the public
mind.
The policy which this company has
thought proper to adopt and which its
officials have Systematically followed has
abounded in instances of sharp practice
toward the city. The city railway Off
Gals have deemed it good policy to Sc
cure everything in the way of favors
from the city, to take every advantage
possible and to give nothing or the least
possible concession in return.
No thinking citizen denies that the
service given by the company is a great
Improvement over the service in exist
ence before 1t assumed control. and
they are willing to make allowances
for accidents to the plant and even to
excuse, to a certain extent, the in
adequacy of the car service on certain
days and at certain times of the day
giving the company credit for good
faith in a desire to make the service
as satisfactory as possible. There is
no unreasonable desire in the public mind
at the present time, but this friendly
attitude may not continue if the agrees
sive grab-all policy of the company Is
continued much longer
The people of st. Paul are long-suffer-
ing, but they are not children, They
remember how time and time again the
company has avoided the performance of
certain things which 1t solemnly CON
which it sought. They remember GER
tain entertainments upon the public
rights Of which the company has been
guilty, and unless such things and acts
cease and the company makes ample
amends, a sad day of reckoning will sure
ly come when the public, driven by the
remembrance of duties disregarded by
the company, things done which 1t
ought not to have done and things left
undone which it ought to have done, will
inevitably assume a hostile attitude to
the street railway company and exact
severe penalty.
The company is exceedingly vulnerable
to attack from many different points
which will not be here mentioned, but
of which it is fully cognlzant, and in its
own interests the G o b urges the COM
pany and its controlling officials to re-
form their policy, to act as if this com
munity was an aggregation of reason
Ing beings and not crowd of suckers
to be brow-beaten and domineered over,
and easy victims of a "strong-arm" cor
poration.

You may say, however" continued
Mr.. Towne, that I expect to be nonin-

port at present for the nomination than
any other man, although in some sections
of the East there seems to be objection
