BOERs.

Late dispatches bring the news OF
another big battle between the
Beers and the British, which occurred
South of Brandfort on Monday, and
in which the British were again de-
feated, losing 600 killed and wound
ed and 900 prisoners being taken.
This is the third crushing defeat the
English have sustained within a week,
in the first of which five full com.
panies of the British soldiers we're
driven like sheep into the Boer cor.
raj and marched off as prisoners.
A war correspondent thus describes
the scene: 1.-The Beers in Colonel
Broadwood's rear drove his force into
the party at the drift exactly as par
tridges are driven to a gun. At the
drift, as each wagon descended the
hollow, il was shown by the Beers
which way to drive, so as not to
block the convoy. When The guns
arrived the trap was all clear again
for their reception"

THE PHILIPPINE FARCE.

AT last General Otis has been re-
lieyed of the command in the Phil
ippines, and be will sail for home
about the first of May, being sue
ceeded by General Macarthur.
If, as is quite probable. the IN
structions under which General Otis
has been acting were to do nothing
and consume as much time as pos
sible in accomplishing it, he should
be welcomed by the Administration
with the judgment wei done, good
and faithful servant" for certainly
no man could have done less in an
equal length Of time.
That the Philippine war is q farce
must be apparent to all who have
given the matter any attention, and
the thought must suggest itself that
the whole affair is simply a scheme
to provide employment for several
thousand men, and incidentally to
open a market at good prices for
manufactured articles and food prod
ucts, thus aiding in showing an ap-
parent prosperity" until after the
next election.
1t is an expensive expedient to be
sure, but the American people are
slow to anger. and generally enjoy
being humbugged.

WHEN EASTER CONES.

II seems that some people are ques-
tioning the date OF Easter in this Cen
turial year, when everything seems to
be askew. The prsyer-book says that
Easter ia the Sunday following the
first full moon after March 81, and
that, if the full moon is on a Sunday.
then Easter is the Sunday following.
This year, says the Boston Post, the
moon is first at its full after March q,
just after l O'Clock on Sunday morn
ing, April Is, and consequently it is
commended that Easter can not be the
18th, but the 22d of April. However,
the full moon referred to in the prayer
book is not the actual full moon. but
a fictitious and statutory full moon,
sometimes called the ecclesiastical full
moon. Some fictitious moon is nee
essary, otherwise Easter might have
to be kept on different Sundays in
different parts Of the world.

permit the use Of unoccupied lands
TO all persons, and that the granting
of special permits to designated par
ties would be an injustice to other
American citizens who might at some
future time desire to share in their
use. 1t is refreshing to note at this
time that there is one public officer
who recognizes the rights Of the
people, and has the courage to point
out those rights to the law-making
power.

There is bitter feeling, and il is not

il appears that the first reports regard

The latter gave a picnic a few days
after the schools were closed and
thirty-two OF the forty-ive scholars in

Districts.

The Work of Taking the Census
Begins June l, and Ends
ON June 30.

Supervisor OF the Census Earl w.
fremont furnishes us with the follow
ing list of persons selected and approx
ed for the position of Census Enumer-
ator for the coming census, showing
the district and postoffice address to
which each is assigned.
Mr.. fremont informs US that In the
selection of enumerators each and
every application was given careful
attention in order to secure those who
were not only qualified and thoroughly
acquainted with the district to which
their application applied, but whose
selection would be satisfactory to the
people as well.
The vacant districts in southern
Esmeralda and Nye counties will be
supplied at an early date, thus making
the list complete.
Commissions will be issued at once,
and necessary instructions given to
the several enumerators herein nam
ed, in order that they may be thorough,
ly prepared to enter upon their duties
on June /.
Thirty days is the time allowed for
the taking Of the census and enumer-
ators are allowed So per day for each
day of ten hours actually engaged in
field work. All districts with the ex-
ception OF Carson. Virginia City, Gold
Hill and Reno are per diem districts.
These latter are per capita districts,
and the enumerators therein receive
three cents for each name entered,
and five cents for each death reported,
occurring during the census year
Travelling expenses considered, the
aggregate compensation of enumer
ators in the per capita districts will
equal that OF those in the per diem
districts.
