whatever that might be- As a fact the
statistics of 1899 are the most utterly
worthless stuff that could have been
put forward, the figures were made up
in ignorance and conceit, and it is very
difficult to know if those of 1900 are
any better. It makes one almost asham-

been framed. but in the interest of
the Territory and its self respect it has
to be considered.
Compare the deaths from typhoid
fever in 1899 with those of 1900 and they
run 80 to 1O5. To any one making a
medical study this would be appalling

DE WET.

The latest from South Africa does not
sound very favorable for De Wet. the
Boer raider. Raiding tactics are often
successful for a time they cause
great deal of uneasiness, they res,It
in the destruction of a great deal of
property; but their effect upon the ulti-
mate end of war Is of little if any ad-
vantage to those engaging in this style
of Warfare,
Undoubtedly De Vets raids have
caused an immense amount of uneasi-
ness. His raids have resulted in the
destruction of much property, both
public and privaite, he has kept a
number of troops upon the qui vive,
and he has caused the death of many
men on both sides, and has helped to
destroy or have destroyed in retaliation
many homes And in the end what has
he gained? AS the news comes, he has
gained nothing of a tangible shape, and
his only reason for continuing the
struggle is to gain something tangi-
BILE.
Captain Mahan in his work upon the
influence of sea power upon history
shows very clearly that raids either by
sea or land are of little avail. That
they do immense harm he shows. that
much wrong is done he also shows, but
the influence of raidng upon the gen.
eral events may be put down as prac-
tically nil
/ Stewards cavalry raids during the
war of the rebellion were very brliant.
| but they had no effect whatever upon
the general campaign. The exploits of
/ the Alabama and the few cruisers the
confederacy let loose to play upon COM
merce may have done, and did do dam
age to individuals, but it certainly had
no influence unon the upshot of the war.
The only influence to bring about de-
finite results comes from military or
naval combinations, which strike ire
vocably. All else is but guerrilla and
bandit work.
No doubt such work, in a difficult
country and over a large area can be
carried on for long time, but the end
is always the same the force of law
and order overcomes the force of dis
order, and peace eventually reigns.
