THE nRrTIsH IN PREroRIA.


The entrance Of Lord Roberts into Pre-
Africa. There may be some more fight
ing of the guerilla sort, but 1t would be
folly for the Beers to keep up war of
that kind. They would be the chief
losers. They own about all of the prop
erty in the country, outside of the towns
and the mines. and by adopting the
guerilla style of warfare they would sac
rifice everything The wisest thing for
them TO do. is to accept the situation and
make the best of ID.
They have not lost everything. The
British will, Of course, deprive them of
their independence. Lord Salisbury said
as much in a recent speech, but they will
have large amount of local independence
and legislative autonomy. They will still
be in a position to manage their own af-
fairs pretty much as they please, in most
matters. Those not closely connected
with official life will hardly feel the
changes that will be made in the gov
eminent. The Beers will probably be put
on a footing with other British colonists
in the matter of the mana cement of their
public affairs. In other words, they will
have as much liberty as have the Cana
dams or the Australians. OF course, II
there should be a large British immigra-
ton, the immigrants might dominate the
state, though that is hardly probable, be-
cause the immigrants would settle in only
one of the districts, namely, the mining
district Before the war began il was
estimated THAI the number of foreigners
in the Trausvaal was 1907 900 and the num-
Der of Beers 125,OOO.
The line between the Beers and the i'm
migrants will, in all probability. be very
clearly drawn. The great majority of
the immigrants, or outlanders, are Brit
ish, and between them and the Dutch
there is strong race prejudice. One of
the most difficult problems with which
the British government will have to deal
is this race prejudice. 1t will take years
to get rid of 1t. II will show itself in
business and social matters, and will re-
tard the growth of the colony. Still,
under the right sort of management its
bad effects can be neutralized TO very
large extent.
The FIVE or six South African states
will form q sort of Dutch empire in South
Africa under British rule. A British vice.
roy will doubtless govern it, but the diff
ferent states will have their own local
governments. Cape Colony is governed
by the Dutch Inhabitants, and the Orange
Free State will doubtless be. The Brit
ish are in the majority in Natal and Rho
dcsia OF course, there will be talk
about keeping up the fight, but what is
the use of people which cannot put into
the field more than about 10000 soldiers
talking about keeping up the fight
against a Power like Great Britain?
Keeping up the fight simply means a still
greater loss of life and property for the
people of the Transvaal. Unless there
were a prospect of ultimately achieving
independence, the Boer leaders would be
condemned by the civilized world If they
should counsel their people to continue
the war. And there does not seem TO be
any prospect of achieving independence.

A NATTER of BRAINS.

In an article in the Journal of New
York, ex-senator ingalls, takes the posi-
ton that a poor mans chance for get
ting ahead in the world is just as good
now as it was fifty years ago-in fact, is
somewhat better, If he can adapt him
self to the changed conditions of society.
Mr.. ingalls, calls attention to the fact
that fifty years ago most of the very
rich men who have since figured before
the public and the men who have won
fame in any walk OF life were poor boys
or men without means and unknown. He
says that he had the same chance that
Jay Gould had, or Rockefeller or Hunt
ingdon or Carnegie or a dozen others he
might name, but instead of seeking
wealth, he went West to help build up
the country If he had had the brains,
he thinks he might now be among the
plutocrats. In his opinion, getting
ahead in the world is mere matter of
brains. Those who have the ability will
succeed and those who have not will have
20 be the hewers of wood and drawers
of water.
Some men have ability to do one thing
and some another. The great majority
have ability to play only small part in
the worlds affairs, and hence their win
nings, either of money or fame. are small.
But men who are famous or rich are no
happier than those who fill very modest
places in life. Hence, the poor man has
not so much reason 20 envy the rich
one, after all.
But the main point of the ex-Senator's
article is that the poor mans chance for
getting everything The world has to of
fer is just as great now as 1t was ffty
years ago. If a man fails to get ahead,
1t is because he lacks brains. He has,
therefore. no reason TO find fault with
anybody for his failure 10 become plu-
tocrat, noted scientist or great states
man.

The Singer Piano
of Chicago, Ill.

This SINGER PIANO is sold by many
of the leading dealers in the United
States, such as VIM Steinert Sons Co..
who have the largest establishments in
Boston, New Haven and Providence. Also
the SINGER PIANO is sold by VIM.
Knabe Co., having the leading houses in
Boston, Baltimore, Washington and New
York city. There are a large number OF
leading houses handling SINGER PIANO,
too numerous to mention.

the best pianos in the market, or it would
not be sold by these leading houses.

finer than most pianos, and about one-half
the price of other instruments.

PIANO and save a good deal of money on
your purchase. Same guarantee is ex-
tended for the SINGER PIANO as any Of
the leading pianos of the day, and a sat-
isfactory price will be given to all on ap-

George Ticknor, the historian OF Span

ness in case in which Mr.. Choate was
engaged, and, being seated by the emil

notes which he had made of the evidence.

ed him of two autograph letters in his
possession-one- of Manuel the Great of
Portugal dated 1912 and the other of
Gonsalvo de Cordova, the great captain,
written few years earlier. (Any one
who has glanced over these remarkable
specimens of chirography will marvel
that 1t was possible to make out a sylla-
BILE of such illegible scrawls)
These letters" Mr.. Ticknor assured
Mr.. Choate, "were written $50 years ago.
and they strongly resemble your notes
of the present trial" Choate instantly re-

new island possessions. AS compared
with two years ago, it will be seen that
the Republicans have suffered a loss OF
approximately 5000 votes.

recommended that the affected cereals be

from smut, which is also very heavy. may

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune Dem) says:
This country has learned, by long and
sad experience, the Inevitable tendency
of partisan system in the distribution
of governmental patronage. That system
is no less reprehensible under a state or
municipal than under federal adminis-
tration. Where there is only one party
that can be said 10 exert any real power
or influence in politics, there are likely 10
be two or more factions. all claiming the
name of the dominant party. In such a
locality the majority faction. controls APP
pointments, in the city or in the state,
as the case may be. and asserts its SUI
perior claim 10 consideration where fed
eral appointments are concerned. All this
leads to conflicts and confuslons which
tend more and more to disgust honest
and earnest men with the whole business
of politics, and to relegate the direction
of pubic interests and the maintenance
OF popular rights to dangerous class"
/ The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) says:
( Prosperity is a good thing, but the Han
mas and the Grosvenors and that style
of superficial politicians will not be per-
mitted to run the presidential campaign
of this year on the cry of prosperity
alone Every sensible person knows that
he is not indebted to William Mckinley
TOT any measure OF SOOu times winch
the country is now enjoying; and he
knows. further that trusts. imperialism
and fraud are dominant questions before
the people"

1864 the Democratio-party adopted a peace
platform and then nominated a general
for President. This year 1t is suggested
that the ticket be Bryan and Mcclellan.
the Latter the son Of the General. But
Mr.. Bryan is opposed to a standing army,
and Mr.. Mcclellan, true to his name, adj

BRYAN TALKS OF
HIS OAT FARM
With Senator Wellington Opens
Campaign in Maryland.
SPOKE FROM CAR PLATFORM
Wellington Tells Why He Turned Democratic
Greeted With a Volume Of Kisses
TO Which He Made Sharp
Reiort.

CUMBERLAND. Md. Sept 1.-THE
opening Of the Democratic campaign
for the states OF Maryland and West
Virginia at this place tonight was rem
dered memorable by the appearance on
the platform OF the Democratic nation
al standard bearer Hon. William ].
Bryan, and United States Senator Geo.
Wellington, who was aiected as a Re-
publican.
Both these distinguished gentlemen
were In good voice and S9th spoke with
their accustomed force. welIlngton's
speech marked his formal renunclation
Of party ties on account OF the is
sues growing out OF the war with Spain.
He had for this reason prepared a
speech with care and he read It from
typewriter manuscript. Bryan spoke
without notes.
The journey OF the presidential can
didate across the state was not devoid
Of labor for him. for though he left
the train but once on the journey. he
made a number OF brief addresses from
the rear platform. During the day
Bryan's attention was called to an ex-
tract from a New York Republican
newspaper saying that Bryan had made
more money out OF the oatcrop raised
on his farm this season than the en-
tire farm had cost him. putting the
result at s1.4OO on 100 acres Of land.
Commenting upon this statement Bry-
an said:
'The entire farm contains only thir-
ty acres and cost me nearly $4,000. al
though the land is not worth that
much today. Instead Of having 100
acres in oats, had only acres in
cats, and the oats have not yet been
threshed. They will hardly yield 40
bushels to the acre"
Senator Wellington made the first
speech Of the evening. He was listen
ed to with interest and was frequently
applauded, although at times there were
very pronouneed Kisses. The Maryland
senator lost no time in declaring his
opposition to the present administration
and his determination to support Mr..
Bryan.
He had taken this position, he said,
because Of his views upon the Spanish
war and its consequences and because
Of his opposition to imperialism.
AT the mention OF the probability of
Bryan's election. the misses which had
for time been growing in volume be-
came ferocious. The senator stopped
in his speech and said:
Did you ever hear that there were
three things that hiss now and then?
The first is a serpent, the second
goose and the third a fool" This sally
brought out roar Of applause which
was followed by still larger volume
Of Kisses.

STRANGE MILITARY ORDER.
French Colonel Declares Suicides are
Deserters.

NEW YORK. Sept. A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says:
A curious order Of the day has been
issued by Colonel ClamOrgan Of the
Second regiment OF marines. It runs as
follows:
"A soldier OF the regiment committed
suicide some days ago at Kerhum. A
sergeant committed suicide this morn
ing in the barracks.
1T is better that their names should
not be mentioned. These two deaths
are source Of profound regret as
would be the desertion or crime OF
comrade.
Suicide for a soldier is desertion.
II Is a flight toward a country from
which nobody returns.
Suicide is crime. 1t Is the aban-
donment OF ones post and flight before
the enemy.
For this reason II is painful but a
Just custom that all military honors
are not rendered TO suicides.
A soldier who believes in God and
who loves his country would have no
temptation to commit suicide. Let us
therefore be true believers and patriots
in order that a noble hope may sustain
us during life and that all Of US sons
OF France and soldiers first Of all may
know how to keep our blood for the
defence of the fatherland."
