that in the end deepened his conviction
and changed the course Of possible

The crowd was so large that only n
very few could hear or see what was
going on about the little band then at
the foot of the church steps. 1t was
true-at least it had been up to this
timc-that the Salvation Army in

miners. 1t was true still, but the de

as he saw the face. thought that the

had more than once begged him on her

some one with more than touch of
grim humor.
The fountain was a huge cast iron
basin in the center of the square which
for several years had been used for Il
watering trough. 1t had about four
feet of water in it, supplied from the
pumping of the mines.
The suggestion was jus: suited to the
coarse. rough spirit Of the crowd.
Struggling in the clutch of number
of brawuy hands. the offenders were
dragged up to the basin and flung into
it, As fast as they noundcrcd out drip
ping and cursing. they were thrown in
again. \ great roar of laughter ana
shouts rose from the mob. In the midst
of it all the army marched out of the
square singing:
Come. sinners to the Saviour now;
lie wore the thorn crown on hi, brow
He shed his blood that you might Le
Redeemed TO all eternity.
There was the same uauntlcss look on
the leaders face. NO one could say
that she was disappointed or dishcart-
cncd by the seeming lack of answer To
: her prayer or by the wild confusion all
/ about her. The squad halted out in the
street. and there another group gather"
/ ed about them listening to testimony
/ and prayer and song.
Stuart and the minister hesitGted
where they were for moment not
knowing what to do now, when the
, crowd farthcst away, over by the rail
road tracks, began to run altogether to-
/ ward a smaller crowd coming down the
hill from the Davis mine.

The two struggled over in the dircc'

The PRICE OF WAR.

The articles in some sections of tn,
American press on farm burning in
South Africa are reminders of articles
appearing in the Confederate press
during the Civil War on farm burning
in Georgia.
When farms are burned by military
order 1t is usually because they give
aid and comfort to the enemy They
are arsenals of supply. When the Fed
eral commanders marched through the
South they put the torch to cotton
which the Confederates were exchang
ing for arms-that is, they did so when
the commodity could not be sent north
and standing crops were also fired or
fed to the cavalry horses. Every time
fire occurred the Confederate fighting
strength lost that much. When Sher-
Inan entered Georgia he found himself
in the midst of abundant crops which
the Davis government depended on for
the sustenance Of the armies and the
people. He destroyed what he did not
use and in doing so acted the part of a
soldier who knew his business.
In South Africa the situation is the
same. There are, perhaps, 20, 900 Beers
in the field who are in no sense produc-
crs. They are consumers. They must
have food and their mounts must have
forage. These partisan rangers can
import nothing, as all harbors and ex-
terror domestic markets are held by the
enemy. Hence they rely upon sympa-
thzing Dutch and Boer farmers, from
whom they get grain. beef. fresh
mounts, occasional shelter and much
information without such aid they

REVENUE PRODUCING WORKS.

with reduced revenues and extensive
demands upon the money witch may
be set apart Tor his department, the
task VI the superintendent Of Public
Works viii be no light one. Mr. Boyd
has decided that b. viii give most uf
his time and attention Co those Improve
ments which will result In reyeuuapro
ducing properties while keeping Sll the
public works now In existence In re-
pair.
The strict following out ~ this plan
should give go the Territory IN the next
two years some good roads, better
wharves and needed school and other
buildings There cannot be all that
are needed That Is impossible when
II Is considered that there must be
more than a million dollars of deficit,
II the revenues are not increased ma
terially over past years. The appro-
priations are not mandatory; the money
may or may not be spent, and in con-
sequence the responsibility again is
passed to the Executive, who must as
sumo It.
improvements to the harbors and the
keeping up of the quality Of the roads
will do much to keep hidden the ugly
fact that the Territory was mistreated
in the house Of it's friends. There will
be no scheme of expansion in public
works, as was hoped to follow. Instead
there will be as few men employed as
consistent with the revenues, and these
will have to do principally with the
maintenance of the conditions. 1t Is
only with the strictest economy that
the Territory can get through without
running into debt, but it can be done.
and the Public Works Department will
be largely tesponsible for its doing.

The fact that the Commissioner of
Navigation has posted in consular Of
fees all over the world the announce
ment of the sentences passed by Judge
Estee in the SDdergren case shows how
unusual such sentences are. Generally
the testimony of seamen against Off
GERS carries very little weight. Since
the Sodergren affair, complaints of a
similar nature are multiplying fast and

Remunerative advertising has pretty
nearly vanished, the space going for
anything the charitable will bid. The
decay of the paper shows two things

1t is quite true that the public cannot
expect to buy plumbing goods at retail
for a wholesale price, but the trouble
is that only select few can get the
wholesale rates. The fair prices, it is
said, only exist inside the combine. a
good test of the issue would be for
three or four house-builders to pool and
place a large enough order to warrant
wholesale rates and see whether it is
filled or not. We are quite of the opin-
ion that, even for them, retail prices
would be quoted.
