Louis Botha. who has cut so
deep a mark in the pages OF his
tory, says A. G. Hales, in the Lon
don NesVS, is only a young man
yet, being about 81 years OF age.
He is a Zine figure Of a man."
standing in the neighborhood Of
six feet in his boots. His face is
handsome. intellectual and deter
mined, his expression kindly and
compassionate. The razor never
touches his face, but his brown
beard is always neatly trimmed,
Tor the young commandant- gen
eral is particular in regard to his
personal appearance in a manly
way, though in no respect foppish.
He is now, and always has been,
an excellent athlete, a good rifle
shot and an excellent horseman,
not given at any time to indoor
pastimes overmuch, though fond
Of quiet game OF whist. He was
born in Natal, OF Dutch parents
and married Miss Emmett, rela
tive of Robert Emmett, the Irish
revolutionist. Young Botha was
educated at Greytown, and though
a good sound commercial scholar,
he gave no evidence in his school
boy DAYS OF what was in him. No
one who knew him then would
have dreamed that before he was
forty years Of age he would be the
foremost soldier of his country.
His folks were moderately well of,
but the adventurous spirit Of the
future general sent him inland
from Natal when a large number
Of Natal and Free State Beers en-
listed under the flag Of General
Lucas Meyer, who was bent upon
making war on a powerful negro
tribe in the neighborhood OF Vry
held. During the fighting young
Botha was his generals right hand
man, displaying even at that early
age a cool, level head and a stout
heart, When the Beers were
firmly settled upon the land Vry-
held was declared a republic, and
Lucas Meyer was elected first
President. But the new republic
lasted only three years, and was
then, by mutual consent. merged
into Transvaal territory, and both
Lucas Meyer and Louis Botha
we're elected members Of the
Volksraad. Louis Botha retained
his seat right up to the time hos
tilities broke out between Great
Britain and the republics under
Mr.. Kruger and Mr.. Steyn.

PROHIBITION wINSG
The Soldiers soIsce Doomed.

The canteen pro vision as first
proposed in the new army bill was
drawn so as to have caused a
great deal oil contention. Instead
Of being a prohibition OF the sale
Of liquor, it provided that no army
officer or soldier shall sell liquor.
The provision is as follows:
THAT no officer or private SOL
dier shall sell Intoxicating drinks
Of any kind, as a bartender or
otherwise, in any army post, or on
any army transport, or in any en-
campment, or tort, or on any
premises used fer military purposes
by the United States; and the Sec
Tetary OF War is hereby directed
to issue such general order as may
be necessary to carry the proVis-
ions Of this section into full force
and effect"
The canteen provision Of the
present Law is as follows:
THAT no officer or private SOL
dier shall be detailed to sell intox-
icating drinks OF any kind, as a
bartender or otherwise, in any post
exchange or cantesn, nor shall
any other pers On be required or
allowed to sell such liquors in any
encampmeut or fort or on any
premises used for military pur-
poses by the United States; and
the Secretary OF War is hereby
directed to issue such general or
der as may be necessary to carry
the provisions OF this section into
full force and effect"
This not being satisfactory to
the Prohibitionists, when the bill
came up for passage last Thursday
Mr.. Little6eld (Rep.), Of Maine,
offered the following ironclad sub
sttute for the whole:
The sale of or dealing in beer, wine,
or any intoxicating liquors by any per-
son in any post, exchange or canteen or
army tranEport or upon any premises
used for military purposes by the United
States is hereby prohibited. The Sec
retary Of War is hereby directed to
carry the provisions OF this section into
full force and effect
A lively fight was made upon
this substitute. It was supported |
by Messrs. Little6eld, Grosvenor, |
Dick and HAY (Va.)-all Repub-
Leans except Mr.. Hay.
It was strongly opposed by |
Messrs. Fitzgerald and Slayden,
Democrats, and Parker and Bar
-holdt, Republicans.
The substitute was passed by a
Washington sentinel., 1900-12-08
Democrats, Attention!


We agree entirely with the Hon.
JOS. Bailey, OF Texas, when he says
that he would not vote one penny
nor one soldier for the purpose Of
keeping up the war in the Philip
pines" Nor should any Democrat
vote for a bill which increases our
standing army at this time when
that army is to be sacrificed in an
unholy war, in a climate detrimen-
tai 70 the health Of every American
soldier, for the purpose OF shoot
ing down liberty in the Orient
Whatever else is left undone,
hurry with the Army BILL" seems
to be the sum and substance OF
what Mr.. Mckinley says to every
prominent Senator and Congress
man who goes to the White House.
The reason he wishes the legis-
lation for the increase of the army
hurried, is that he has received a
hint that the decision of the sup
RENE Court will be against the
eonstitutionality Of the Porto Rico
act, which would mean that the
United States would have to relin-
quish ownership OF the Philip
pines, and would consequently
have no use tor a large standing
army. He wishes to get the big
army provided tor before the court
hands down its decision, and it
will not be surprising if the Attor-
ney General so manipulates the
case as to prevent its conclusion
until the end Of this Congress, as
Mr.. Mckinley might prefer not
having Congress in session should
the decision be adverse. A large
standing army is a menace to the
liberties of our people and to the
republic itself.
ANY Democrat in Congress who
may be temporarily blinded with
promises OF commissions in this
proposed army for his friends, or
who may consider it his duty to
vote the President all the soldiers
he wants, will find out too late his
mistake. He cannot any longer
be possibly considered an expon-
ent Of Democracy. |
Washington sentinel., 1900-12-08
The Sentinel VindicAted,

We commend the accounts else
where given OF the stand taken by
the Democrats upon the beer tax
and canteen questions to the care
ful consideration OF brewers and
the German Press, especially our
colleague of .he Ne7v Teysey Fysis
Zeitnng, to see whether the state
ments we have made regarding the
position OF the Democrats were
