The Boer ENJOYS have left the coun-
try, disappointed and disheartened.
They deserted their real friends soon
after they landed and went monger-
ing after the strange gods of the Re
publican party and they have had
their reward in neglects and sights.
They will know better next time.

The British government has spent
5000, 00o, 900 in the South African
war, has allowed Russia to get the
control in Persia for which the two
countries have long been contending,
and has risked almost ~incalculable
losses in China, all to make the for
tunes Of a few gold spectators and
satisfy the national THIRST Tor land.
Truly, this is the price that staggers
British humanity!

1t is announced that Governor
Beckham will call an extra session Of
the Kentucky Legislature to modify
the Goebel election law. This is well.
It is not so much a question Of what
the law really is as OF what the people
think it is, and it is quite certain that
the House of Representatives will
throw out Kentucky's vote this fall
(if taken under the Goebel laW)
should 1t be necessary to do so in Or
der to elect Mckinley.

A Natchitoches mob Of white men
went over to Winfield, VIM parish,
after 8 negro who had killed a white
man. The sheriff, G. w. Barley, the
lone Populist in Office in louisiana,
stood off the lynchers and dared
them to attempt to rescue the prisoner
in his charge-and they stood off,
and they were so to l. When it
comes to Law and order a Populist is
always and will shoot the way
