BoER TACTICS,

The South African dispatches com

Beers before the advancing troops UNI
der the British commanders. The antlci-
pated stand Of the Burghers IN the
Lydenburg district has not materialzad.
Their power Of resistance seems TO be
entirely broken, and complete collapse
Of the war can be only question OF a
brief moment
The present situation renders an artl-
Gle in Golfers Weekly on the Boer war
OF peculiar interest II is written by a
colonel In the Irish Boer brigade and
gives a view OF the Boer army and
methods entirely different from that
which has obtained generally Accord
ing TO him the Beers never submitted

felt inclined TO do so, and left the
ranks when that suited them better.
Their generals exhorted, begged and
threatened but all TO no purpose, except
for a small percentage Of the total num-
Der, which remained faithfully devoted
10 the cause, in adversely az well as
success.
Their tactics were always the same.
When the British advanced they would
bring their artillery TO play upon them,
but as soon as the enemy were within
the range Of their rifles. the artillery

columns were checked by a murdcrous
rife fire The Beers would remain UNI

Looking over the South African war,
this picture OF the Boer tactics appears
TO be a true representation Of Il. And
n So the continued retreats before the
British. even when the world had been
promised the spectacle Of another Their
mopyle, are perfectly clear The writer
IN Golfers Weekly draws the conclu-
sion that sharp shooting with long
range rifles and smokeless powder Is
the most battling mode Of warfare
known to man. The Beers IN the begin

possible out Of their superiority as sharp
shooters, and their marvellous successes
showed what small numbers can do,
thus equipped. BUT the Beers are no
soldiers and their skin with the rife

A REPUBLICAN TRICK.

Mark Hanna's Republican campaign
committee is blowing quite large per-
centage of its Doodle in buying up for
mer Democratic and Populist newspa-
pers in various Western States, in the
hope and expectation that Mckinley
ism will reap some substantial profit.
It's an old and easy game, only requir-
ing cash, but it invariably fails of re-
suits. The people will not be deceived
by this time-worn trick, and no vot-
er's opinion will be changed by the
fact that his hitherto favorlte news
paper has changed its color and sud-
denly advocated new policy. Trust
Doodle accounts for these things, and
the voters we'll know it.
Mark Hanna's Committee can
buy as many newspapers as may
be deemed polite, but they can't
buy the people. The sale of votes
will not be included in the transfers.
American, German, Scandinavian and
other papers are for sale, at price.
but proprietors and readers Will vote
they way they think just the same.
And they don't think much OF imper-
ialism and trusr favoritism.

selves. 1t must be one thing or the

A recent issue Of the Commercial and
Financial Chronicle has an exhaustive
article upon the fire loss of the United
States in the course of which 1t is
stated that in the past twenty-five
years the value of property consumed
amounts to $2,73S, 7S4.216, a sum more
than equal to our national debt. The
present ratio, based on the record Of
the past six months, is about $215, &c.,
600 per year, and the constant tend
ency is to increase this drain upon
the people. Adding the loss of the COM
ing quarter OF a century to that of the
past twenty-five years, we shall have
total of probably six thousand mil
lion dollars, which is FAR and away
beyond reason, and calls for some ade-
quate remedy. Our fire departments
are constantly being added to and
improved, an increased number of men
are employed in the fire-fighting force,
the burden of maintaining a fire de-
partment is a serious one upon every
city, and yet the losses increase right
along, showing a gain over the in
crease in the growth of cities and the
value of property.
The reasons for this are many. One
potent cause is over-insurance. An
other is the fiimsy construction of
the average city edifce Still another
is the large increase in possible causes.
electricity being an example. Take
the case of the city of Boston. In 1881
the number of alarms was 558: in 1890
they were 933; in 1899 they were
1,768. The average annual fire loss of
that city is million and a half. It
ought not to be over one-tenth Of that
sum, and as a matter of fact it is not
over that in such continental cities as
Brussels, Rome, Lyons or Marseilles.
There is something radically wrong
with American cities in this particular,
and the matter is one worthy of care
full study and prompt action. Our own
city of Wheeling is an exceptionally
fortunate one; our nearest neighbor
Pittsburg, is very unfortunate. Our fire
loss the past year has been nominal;
it Pittsburg it has run into the millions
Our people are either exceptionally
careful or our department is excep-
tionally efficient. Perhaps it is a lit
tie of both.

a chocolate ice cream soda with great
relish, went to his lonely home, ate the
dinner which the black handmade had pre-

while, played solitaire, wrote a number
of letters, topped off the evening by
reading twenty-seven pages of somebody
or other on testimony and at o'clock he
was in bed and sound asleep.

of his evenings until his wife and family

BAD AND GOOD NEWS MINGLED.

BAD AND GOOD NEWS MINGLED,
Yesterdays telegram from Minister
Conger, printed this morning, is
mingllng of good and bad news. Our
Minister, for instance, says that "all
connected with the legation of the I'm
tied States are we'll at the present mo-
ment," which is great and good news.
But Mr.. Conger says: Still besieged.
Situation more precarfous. Chinese
government insisting upon our leaving
Picking, which would be certain death"
And he adds: Rifle firing upon us
daily BY IMPERIAL TROOPS"
This indicates the situation. The
American legationers were we'll I'D to
yesterday, but dare not leave the
shelter of the legation Notifications,
and were being daily fired upon by I'm
perial troops. The American colony is
well, but in imminent peril.
These facts surely call for more
earnest action than the American
government has yet shown. 1t is a
time for military activity, and not for
further diplomatic parley. That Mr..
Conger and his staff are still alive is
well-but he and they may not be
alive tomorrow His telegram indi-
Gates the peril. The attacks continue,
and he is short of ammunition and
provisions. Abundant courage" is a
good American quality, but substantial
aid is better. If Mr.. Conger and those
with him are to be saved from death
and torture 1t is high time to get at
the work. Any day may bring to us
the sad tidings that all is over, and
that American officials, soldiers and
civilians have been murdered by fam
asics and Pagans. 1t is high time for
the nation to arouse itself. and vpr the
administration at Washington n act.
There has been enough Of pail ing
