DETAILS OF the engagement In the
Trsusvasl tend to discredit the conclu-
sion OF q military journal that General
Botha had ceased to be OF much account
for the present. This remarkable episode
of the war in South Africa directs at
tentiOu to the question of guns as an
impeachment for mobile columns. The
Beers are apparently fighting without
artillery, whereas every one Of the
sixty.seven british columns is supplied
with guns, and these Invariably keep
them back and restrict their operations.

THE DEMOCRATS of Alexandria who
last summer go warmly supported Mr.
Swanson for Governor were treasured
last night that they had made no mis-
take then. and those who opposed him
were made to realize that their oppo-
nent was q foeman worthy OF any
Mp's steel. His speech last night
esbo we'd him to be bold democrat and
q fearless exponent OF democratic prin-
ciples. He did not sulk 10 his tent after
his defeat, but buokled tighter his
democratic armor and has been In the
thickest of the fight during the cam.
paign. His speech also strikingly
illustrates the fact that with him loyalty
to party and devotion to democratic
principles rise superior to every indi-
Vidual consideration and ambition. And
that is the test no less of true manhood
than Of political leadership which puts
honor on its following. Mr. Swanson
is yet a young man aud has q brilliant
future before him and wins friends and
supporters wherever he goes. 10 speak.
ing Of him the Richmond Dispatch says;
"Whstevsr may be the extent OF
democratic victory on Tuesday none
will have contributed more to 1t than
Hon. Claude A. Swanson, the defeated
candidate for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation at the party's hands. He has
done earnest, splendid and aggressive
work, but only such work as was to
have bsen expected of democrat and
q man cast In his mold"

10 the Legislature who are favorable to
the return OF Arthur P. Gorman 10 the

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We, the democrats Of Iowa, in con-
svention assembled, hereby affirm the
principles o1 the democratic national
platform adopted at Kansas City, July
S, 1900, and without surrendering our
convictions or abating our loyalty to
our national politics, we believe this
campaign to be particularly one that
should be confined to state issues.
Resolved, That the fundamental
principle of democracy, equal rights to
all and special privileges to none,' ap-
plies in full force to the subject of taxa
ton. The democratic party believes
that the burdens of taxation should be
born equally by all taxable property. We
pledge our members of the general as
sembly to formulate and urge the adop.
ton Of such law as will compel the
burdens of taxation TO rest upon cor.
porate and individual property alike
without favor to or exemption OF any
interests"
> ssWe demand economy in the admin.
stration of state affairs, the repeal Of
Sthe mulct law, the enactment of a local
option law, the abolition of the office Of
state printer and state binder and the
contracting of supplies for tn estate with
the lowest possible bidder"

The republicans of the state seem to
content themselves with insinuations
against the ability of the democratic
nominee for governor. 1t may be true
that IN what is generally termed "book
learning" Mr.. Phillips may not stand
at the head of the class. He is not
college.bred man, neither is he lawyer,
nor does he make any claim to being a
public speaker, but we wish to say that
che man who has, through his own en-
ergy, industry and ability mounted the
ladder of business until he stands upon
round twice as high, from financial
point Of view, as the governor of the
great state of Iowa, is pretty close to
the head of the class. Mr.. Phillips is a
Weshman, came to American when
seven years ofage, worked in the mines
when boy and was gradually promot-
ed until he is now superintendent Of
the White Breast Fuel company at a
salary far greater than the state OF Iowa
pays its chief executive. A man of that
stamp certainly does not want for busi-
ness ability. Twice Mr.. Phillips was
elected mayor Of Ottumwa and that city
it is said never had a better or more
popular official. Phillips belongs to the
common people and if he should become
governor the laboring class will have a
man i'll the executives char who fully
and completely sympathizes with
them.-Sigourney Review.

The recent opening of the Kiowa
Reservation in Oklahoma, was reported
to be The last chance for free homes.
The Trans Mississippi Congress of this

nouncing that the western homestead

thousand more farms. 1t is true that
much Of these lands is not arabic; but,
where irrigation is possible, such lands,
it is we'll known, yield larger and more

blessed with rain, and thus they present
certain advantages of which the Amer.
