BEI.DING.

Judge of Probate G. l.. Wilson sends
the BANNER communication of col
umn length regarding this question OF
probate printing but we were unable to
make room for it. He claims he has
been unjustly criticised, that be has
been no more partisan than his prede
cessors. That seems like rather boy
ish excuse. A thing is either right or
wrong and should be defended on those
grounds alone. If Mr. Wilson's prede-
cessors have not done right Mr. Wilson
should have set new standard for
those who might follow him. But re-
garding his predecessors, the BANNER
has only known one, Mr.. Willet, and
Mr.. Willett ordered number Of pro-
bate orders published in its columns
when t was not republican paper. So
from our own experience his statement
does not hold true. As far as his prop
osition is concerned which he asks Mr..
Webster TO agree to with him, the
BANNER has only to say it has no OBJ
jections, although it has no control
over Mr.. Webster's actions. 1t is en-
tirely in accord with our position.
The republicans of Chadwick and
vicinity raised pole at that place
Saturday near E. DORIS store amid
great enthusiasm. Four years ago a
similar event occurred with about %
persons present. On this occasion
there were over a hundred; comment
is unnecessary. Rousing speeches
were made by Frank c. Miller, Will
K. Clute, and Hal II. Smith and much
enthusiasm was noticeable. In the
evening Messrs Miller and Smith had
another big meeting at Orleans Cen
ter, the hall being well filled. Or
leans will be heard from on election
day.

CONCERNING BOOKS.

The Flame of Life III Fuoco), IL trans.
lated from the Italian OF Gabriel Dan
nunzio by kAssandra Vivaria. 1t Is the
first of three volumes announced by the
great Italian writer, which he calls 1.-The
Romances of the PoInegranate.
The work has created q decided sensa-
ton throughout Europe, and has caused
an immense amount of discussion and
criticism. This is partly owing to the
manner in which the author handles his
subject, and still more, perhaps, because
the enemies Of D'Annunzio claim that
the heroine represents a celebrated Italian
actress, and that the author has made
use Of his knowledge OF and intimacy
with her, to create literary sensation.
This he Indignantly denies, and is ap-
parsntly quite willing to refute such
charges in accordance with the duellist' 6
code of honor.
The earlier works of this writer, nota-
bly, The Triumph of Death, have given
D'Annunzio's many readers an idea OF
his literary manner and methods. Sew
eral of his critics have denounced him az
"brutally realistic" and he certainly
doss sacrifice ali else to his art. He draws
from the nude, as 1t were. If necessary to
the fulfilling OF his intent, and finds ii
impossible to clothe his ideals In up-to-
date costumes. he is sensuous to de-
gree, and doubtless many Of his readers
oist, not modern, and must be thus
Judged
The lovers OF his story are Stelio Effrena
the poet and La Foscarina. the great
tragic actress, whom Stelio calls Perdita.
Efrena has written "Persephons, a
wonderful poem, anddesires thas to all
who love him the idea of his person shall
hencerorth be.in dissolubly bound up with
the fruit of the pomegranate, and that
his disciples shall honor him under that
symbol. In the sharpness OF the leaf, In
the flame-color Of the blossom, in the
gem like pulp of the crowned fruit, they
will recognize some OF the qualities Of
his art. "By that leaf, by that flower,
and by that fruit, as II by posthumous
teaching OF their master, their intsllects
viii be led to that flame, sharpness and
enclosed opulsnoe.
The work 10 very fanciful, and very
intense, and opinions will differ as to
whether ID be good or bad art. But In
thsss pages the writer gives as Venice
the Beautiful, the Venice OF our
dreams, Venice cleaning and glowing,
full of charm, Of sentiment, OF poetry and
of romance. II thsre were nothing In the

The attack upon the Hon. Joseph
Cham berlain In the House Of Commons
seems to have been extraordinary for its
rancor and bitterness. The outline which
the dispatches give is meagre, but 1t is
sufficient to show that dec9it and trickery
OF various kinds, ana personal conduct
unbecoming a gentleman were prominent
among the allegations against him. 1t
can be fairly said, however. that the
Liberals are only paying him in his
own cion. His own speeches on the
stump during the recent campaign were
vituperative in the extreme. Everybody
who disagreed with him either about the
justice OF the Boer war or the method in
which 1t was conducted, was stigmatized
as a traitor, and he was never slow in
descending to personalities in case he
though by SO doing he could injure a
political adversary or help himself.

The anti-canteen forces won notable
victory In getting through MIR. Littlefleld'
amendment forbidding the sale OF liquor
on government premises by anyone,
whether soldier or civilian. There can be

ney general can possibly find any ground
on which TO interpret the text differ

want 1t interpreted. If 10 becomes a law

Senator Morgan is a good deal OF
lingo, but he is not lingo enough to want
to go ahead with the Nicaragua canal In

he is afraid that the fear of bringing on
q war with England might make the
people hesitate to begin the building OF

THE SITUATION IN CAPE COLONY.

The Afrikander Congress which Is n
session at Worcester, Cape Colony Is sur
rounded by several thousand British
troops and ten guns are trained upon 1t.
There could be no clearer evidence than
is furnished By these precautions that the
Colony Dutch are in an eruptive state
of mind, They have some troubles OF
their own, but what has chiefly brought
them to their present state OF feeling Is
sympathy with their race In the Trans
vaal and the Orange Free Stats. IL has
existed from the beginning OF the war,
but it seems to have been much intensi-
fed lately, probably by the drastic meas
ures that have been resorted to by the
British to compel the submission of the
Beers and the Free Skaters. or course
congress surrounded by troops and guns
will have to practice good deal OF cir
oumspection Free speech IL hardly pos
sible under such circumstances. Yet the
leaders Of the Congress have said enough
ALREADY to make it clear that the Afri'
handlers are in very bitter state of mind.
Sir Alfred Miner, the governor OF the
colony, is being spoken OF with anything
bnt kindness and appreciation. Miner,
It will he remembered, was the British
agent who conducted the negotiations
with the Transyaal, and the prevailing
feeling among the Dutch all over South
Africa has always been that he conducted
them in a way that was calculated and
intended to exasperate the Beers into
taking no arms. For this reason he Is
cordially hated by the Dutch at the Cape.
A demand will be made for his recall
probably, but OF course It Will not be
needed in England. The Chamberlain
party is in the ascendencv there now,
and Miner Is q man after Mr.. Chamber
lain own heart. The Congress will GER
tainly not 3complish anything in the
way OF modifying the British programme
in south Africa. Lord Salisbury has
Just declared in the House OF Lords that
that Is liked beyond recall, and that no
amount OF protesting will affect it. The
Congress comes from it's possible effect in
stirring up the Dutch in Cape Colony.
Evidently the British are not without
fears on that point, else they would not
have surrounded 1t with troops and guns.
The chances are, however, that there will
be no uprising, not because there is not
disaffection enough, but because OF lack
of favorable opportunity. There are too
many British troops about the colony or
In the neighborhood, and the disaffented
are under too close surveillance. Further
more the Dutch reside chiefly in the rural
sections, and therefore are scattered.
their concentration, which would be es-
sential for An effective uprising, would
he extremely difficult with British troops
stationed at numerous points ready to
move at a moments notice. When the
war began in CapeColony the Dutch might
have rendered very effective help to their
brethren in the Transvaai and Free
State. 1t is now, in all probability, too
late
