trellked from Cape Colci " to
country "bcyond the Naal.' There
amid untold hardships, they cstao

There for more than thirty year;
they lived free from English inter

rope, 4 large part of them being
from the British Isles. These arc
the Iitlaudcrs. In the interest OF
these people arose the first quarrel,
and the charge and repulsc at Maiu-
ha Hill ended it. Then followed the
raid planned 10y the would-bc rob-
bcr, Cecil Rhodes, which raid came
tc nauEht and WAS diSowncd by the
British government, but its moving
spirit has never lost caste with his
home government
Now the Ui,laniHrs demand the
ballot which is equal to dcnauiing
the control of the government. But
most prcsulnptuous OF all, they de-
nand the right to vote in the Traus-
vaal and to retain their allcyiauce
to Great Britain at the same time;
and the English government up
holds them in this claim, What
American State would give the BAL
lot TO large floating population of
foreigners, who, while demanding
it, would propose still to retain al
lcglancc to their own Countryo Not
one would do it. Not one could af-
ford to do it. The Bocrs refused
to grant such privilege TO the Uit-
landerS, and the BOcrS did the only
thing they could do in the matter
and still preserve the independence
OF their State. Further, as 10
State can, consistently with it's own
safety, grant the ballot to voters
holding allegiance to foreign
power, so, for much the same rea-
son, none can afford to pay for
schools taught exclusively in for
elgn language. III many parts Of
our country there are German,
Swedish and Norwegian schools,
where the children arc taught in
the language Of their fathers, but
III no case are these schools public,
and we would think it indeed pre-
Sumptuous for Germany, for i'll
stance, to demand free German
schools i'll the city of Chicago for
the children of German born pa
rents.
Another demand made by the
Cltlanders and supported by the
English was that the tax on mines
and mining material be reduced.
This tax, they insist, is extortion-
ate. But it has been pointed out
that this tax is really less in the
Iransvaal than the tax OH similar
and materials in several |
OF the British colonial dependencies. !
Notwithstanding the lack of suf-
ilclent grounds, the English gov
gradually forced the Bocrs
to take a position which made a
between the two inevitable.
SO now the war ison. The bravery,
skill and humanity Of the soldiers
ot the Transvaal have called forth
cheers of admiration from all the
civilized world. The sharp defeats
by the gallant English
'rmles OH their attempted advance
INTO the encmy's country have Sur
orlsed and shocked those English
who but three months ago

Elevator Education.

perience which rather inclines me TO the
belief that the elevator boys of that town
ought to establish a spelling fund for gen.
eral and individual benefit. I was in a
building occupied by publishers and the
elevator had a disk over each gate with a
hand point to the different numbers on it
showing where the cage was at any given
time. The characters on the disk were

Could Not BE Fooled.

Miss Elizabeth Alden Curtis, the talent
ed niece of United States Attorney Cen
eral Griggs, and one of the latest versl-
fers of the Rubaiyat has a penchant for
scientific pursuits, and takes great pleas
ure in mountain climbing, forest-search-
ing and geologizing, says the Philadelphia
Post.
Last summer, while rusticatingtat Lake
George, she went walking with a. party of
friends, chiefly college men and women,
and came across some of the beautifu
minerals which abound in that district.
They picked out a number of specimens
which they carried back to the hotel. Here
they exhibited their trea -trove to the
other guests, more especially a piece of
rose quartz in which were many flakes
of plumbago. Miss Curtis, after explain
ing, left the veranda, giving the quartz
to a benevolent-looking, specialized old
lady She had scarcely departed when
the latter, who had been scratching the
specimen with her scissors, broke out:
THAT girl is either fooling us or else
she is crazy. PlumbaSo indeed! 1t Is
nothing but an old stone with some black
pencil lead in it!''

POLITICs AND THE P0CKET.

After all, mans politics has a close
relation to his pocket, if we are to Judge
from the position of some very prominent
men on public questions. In so conserva-
tive a newspaper as the Evening Post of
New York the following statement ap-
peared in connection with some of its
comments on the Hanna-Payne shipping
bill: Whatever position the Democratic
party may take on other questions in the
approaching campaign, it win be opposed
TO this bill. Its candidate for Vice Presi-
dent in the last campaign, Mr.. Arthur
Sewall has virtually declared his inten-
zion to support the Republican nominees
this year, because the Republicans favor
the subsidy bill and the Democrats do
not
Mr.. Sewall is a shipbuilder and he
wants the subsidy bill. Therefore he be
comes Republican, for the time being at
least. Notwithstanding the fact that he
was honored by the Democratic party in
the last presidential campaign with the
nomination for Vice President 1t would
not be a difficult matter to point other
conspicuous instances in which men of
prominence have taken their politics from
their pocketbooks. When great moral
question or a question involving the rights
and liberties of the people disturbs a ma
ton, principles have a dominating influ-
ence in determining mans politics. but
under ordinary conditions, with a very
large portion of the people the pocketbook
has more influence in deciding the way a
man shall vote than principle.
1t was Gen. Hancock who said that the
tariff was a local issue, and he was
thought by many of his critics TO have a
very vague idea of the tariff question. AS q
matter of fact, however there was great
deal of truth in what he said. People want
free trade where it is for their interest
TO have it and they want protection where
they think protective tariff is essential
to their prosperity. The number who are
free-traders or protectionists from princi-
pal is, in all probability, comparatively
small.
If Mr.. Sewall were not a shipbuilder,
and in favor of the Hanna-Payne subsidy
bill, he would get the credit of going over
to the Republican party from principal,
but 1t is probable that under the circum-
stances it win be said that he is drawn
in that direction by his pecuniary inter
ests In other words, he takes his poll
tics from his pocketboOk

LAYTON mt Ell Canex.

The Wiliamantic Comm Journal tells
this story:
Billy Jackson of Williamantic, who
went to Cuba with the Twelfth Regulars,
was in the division commanded by Gen.
Lawton at the taking of FL Caney. Gen
Lawton was looked upon as one of the
officers who by their bravery and other
good qualities won the affections of the
men.
''At Ell Caney, when the men were lying
down in the tall grass, with a storm of
Spanish bullets sweeping overhead, each
man wishing every spear of grass was
rock or tree, Gen. Lawton came looping
down the line on his big white horse, his
white sombrero Tapping in the breeze,
and smoking cigar He ,ollied the boys
lying in the grass, saying Don't you
care, boys; those Spaniards can't shoot
to hit anything. They are a lot of muffs'
Just then a bullet knocked the cigar
from Lawton's lips, while another struck
his horse in the flank.
Hang en- said Lawton, they have
spoiled my cigar. But I've cigars to burn
And he took from his pocket another
weed and calmly lighted it."

MIR. CARNEGIE TAKING A REST.

1t is announced in the newspapers that
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has gone to Florida
for a few weeks rest. If all the stories
which are appearing in the public prints
about the monster lawsuit that his late
manager, Mr.. Prick, and others are abou,
to begin against him are true, he will
need all the strength he can accumulate
in many weeks in the balmy climate of
Florida to fight it.
It is alleged that Mr. Frick wants some
thing like 21,OO0. 600 for his interest in
the Carnegie Steel Works. If the courts
should award him that much. and all Of
the other partners, who, it is understood,
intend 10 join him in the suit should be
as fortunate. there would not be very
much left for Mr.. Carnegie after set
Ting with them. 1t is the understanding
mat Mr.. Carnegie owns a little more than
one-half OF the capital stock of the plant.
The balance of the stock is owned by Mr..
Prick, Mr.. Phipps and about a dozen
others, Mr.. Phipps' interest being even
larger than that of Mr.. Frick.
There is an agreement in writing that
when partner withdraws ne shall ac-
cept for his stock its book value. 1t is
stated that the book value of Mr. Fricks
stock is 100000. Mr.. Carnegie, If re,
ports are TO be credited offered him that
sum, but he declined to receive 1t on the
ground that his interest was worth a
great deal more. 1t seems that when ne
wanted to buy Mr.. Carnegie's interest
some time ago he paid $1,000, 600 for an OPP
ton. After the option expired, he having
failed to carry his Plans TO success, Mr..
Carnegie is quoted as having said that he
would not take less than 1885,. 1000 600 for
the property. 1t is on this basis that Mr..
Frick is now asking for $2l 100000
1t would seem as If the agreement %
accept the book value of his stock would
be a bar to his recovering the amount he
claims. IL Is pointed out, however, THAI

4 MILITARY ExrERTss VIEW.

In our London dispatches yesterday
Charles Williams, an alleged military ex-
pert was quoted as follows. on the situa-
ton in South Africa: after all this in
terval our fine, big army. instead Of being
free to maneuver in the field, is tied by
the left leg to Kimberley in order to please
Cecil Rhodes, and by the right leg to Lady
smith in order to please Joseph Chamber
lain. Yet neither town has even the
smallest military value
Has this military expert such a standing
in London as to make his opinion of value?
If he has, and the presumption is in his
favor since the papers are quoting him
It is certainly time that the great British
public was being heard from. If thou
sands of British soldiers are being sacrifice
ed, and the British government is being
put to a vast expense, simply TO please
two men-Joseph Chamberlain and Cecil
Rhodes-there is ground for despairing of
the British empire.
Expert Williams may be right in the
opinion that neither Ladysmith nor Kim
berey is of Importance from a military
point of view, but he is probably wrong in
asserting that the efforts to relive them
are continued simply for the purpose of
pleasing the two men he names. The eff
forts to relieve these place are based, in
all probability on other reasons. Gems.
Roberts and Kitchener would hardly con-
duct a great military undertaking on lines
likely TO please Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr..
Rhodes rather than on those which APP
peared to promise success.
1t is admitted that it is not apparent
why the efforts 10 relieve Ladysmith and
Kimberley have been continued so long
when an invasion Of the territory of the
Beers promised so much better results.
1t is probable that the reasons
win be forthcoming in the near future.
1t is to be presumed that there are some
things in the South African situation vita
which military critics in London and this
country are not familiar. If there are no
such things, and the situation is as the
experts understands 1t to be, the time is
coming soon when Gen. Lord Roberts will
have some questions put to him which he
will find rather difficult to answer
