Ex- Governor William J. Stone, vice. chalrman of the Democratic National committee, h@s been i'll, but neither his Illness nor anything else has changed his firm mind. He thinks "bimetalism' is still an issue, and he doesn't think that any reorganization of the Demo- cratic party is necessary. Moreover, he thinks Brother Bryan is the most prominent man in the Democratic party to-day.
 Here's consistency, and richness too MT. Stone is no repudiator and he isn't affected by passing breezes, or cyclones. He is a man after Bryan's own heart, and if worst comes to worst they can still give a world of change an i'm pressive illustration of steady and un- swerving adherence to principle and principles.

IRRIT4 TING IRRIG ATING.

Irrigation without water isn't very
 in irrigation enterprises in western Kansas have discovered. Those enter
 prises looked good when they were
 started, but unfortunately for them the
 people of Colorado took all the water of the Arkansas river before it could
 reach the ditches of western Kansas
 This absorption hasn't been tamely submitted to- and the fight over it isn't | yet ended. Recently there has been increased activity in the matter. The irrigation companies of eastern Colo rado have held a meeting to arrange for contesting the proposed suit of Kan sas against Colorado to prevent the lat ter State from taking all the water out representative from the agricultural de- partment are on the committee that was put in charge of the Colorado forces To encourage the Attorney General of Kansas a mass meeting of the Arkansas Valley Protective Associ- ation has been called to meet at Wichita September 12. Evidence and statistics will be gathered by this association for the assistance of the State. All coun- ties of southwestern Kansas and north ern Oklahoma are expected to join In the contest The State has appropri- ated $2,50O, and this sum will be in creased by subscription to meet the ex- Dense.
 The prospect for the Kansas side of the controversy isn't considered very cheering, and therefore the Connecticut and other investors in the Kansas ditches are not likely to have wealth suddenly and violently thrust upon them. When there isn't even water enough in an irrigation scheme to give excuse for watering the stock the out look cannot be said to be good.

 4 SMALLLK DRINK BILL.

The drink bill of the United Kingdom has pointed many a moral and added to the impressiveness of many tenn perance lecture. It Is always enor- nous, but the fact that it has not been as big as usual for the first six months of the current year is giving encourage ment to the friends of temperance. It appears that for the first half of the current year the quantity of beer re- tained for home consumption in the United Kingdom was 16,903,9 300 barrels, as compared with 17,293,400 barrels in the corresponding period of 1900 and +, ,444, TOO barrels for the first half of 1899 While the arsenic scare might possibly account for some of the falling off in the consumption of beer, it certainly could not account for the falling off in the consumption of spirits, which also showed a decline when compared with 1900. The, consumption of homemade spirits for the six months ending June 30 amounted to 17,594,179 gallons, Of this amount 12,046,247 was credited to England, 3,534,652 to Scotland and g., 013,2S0 to Ireland. In the first six months of 1900 the consumption of spir- its in the United Kingdom was 1S,O92,- S5S gallons, and each one of the three principal divisions of the United King dom shows a decrease this year when compared with the returns for the first six months of 1900.
 As 1t is impossible to tell why this decrease has happened it may be that the friends of temperance have no real reason for joy because it has happened. Perhaps the people of the United King dom haven't been able to buy what beer and spirits they wanted.

| THE BOER GENERAL DE LA REY The following letter in regard to the
 Boer General De ia Key recently ap. peared in the Cape Times. the Cape | Town loyalist newspaper:
 I notice in your issue of Wednesday | last statement made in the House of | Commons to the effect that Lord Kitch- | ener was forwarding sworn dispositions | to Deneral De la Key regarding the
 shooting of British wounded, l do not
 know the details of the Vlakfontein nf- fair, but I feel perfectly sure that if you knew General De la Key, and was
 acquainted with his character you would be satisfied that he would never countenance such q thing. The follow ing Is an extract from a description of General De la Key published by Captain
 Thom, R. A. M. C., who made his ac-
 quaintance when prisoner in the
 hand of the Boers at Lihtenburg.
 He Is much respected by the Boers, and is just in his dealings with Kafirs. Many of the field comets before the war were empowered to collect taxes from the Kafirs. When Kafir was unable to pay, an OK of the value of aS to 910 was seized and sold by auction. The tax, amounting to 5s, per- haps, was paid out of this, and the re- mainder, as a rule, found it's way into the field comets pocket De Ia Key, however, seized something of about equal value to the tax owed and any balance from the sale was handed back to the Kafflr Frequently he would pay the debt himself"
 We'll, sir, do not know hom Captain Thom heard of the above, but can de- clare the statement to be quite true, as l have lived near De la Key for the last fifteen years. When Captain Thom, Captain Simpson, Quartermaster Dal- las, and about fifty or sixty sick and wounded men were released by General De la Key, he gave Captain Thom a photo of himself and wife, both of whom signed the photos, which photos were, together with the extract have quoted above, published In the Sketch of September 26, 1900, copy of which, now in my possession, was found in a camp after the English had cleared It also contains a photo of Col Roberts. Second Lincolns, who had shortly be- fore been taken prisoner by General De la Key at Moselikatze Nek. But to re- sume. When the released men were about to start away, General De Ia Key came to me and said that if I could spare my ambulance wagons to take some of the wounded as fer as Rooigrond, he would be glad If I would do SO as the English were short of con veyances. This I did, as did also MT. Graham who was in charge of another ambulance section. General De la Key further returned to the three officers mentioned above the horses which had been taken from them. Now, is it likely that such man would couptenance the shooting of wounded men? If such thing occurred and De la Key finds it out, should not like to stand in the shoes of the man who did 1t.
 When I was in charge of De la Keys ambulance, my orders were to do every thing that was possible for the English wounded. It was also part of my duty to examine the prisoners, and to relieve those who were suffering, even though it were only from sore feet. De la Key had a habit of visiting the prisoners

NOT 4 CEKT.4 INT r.

Many who believe in troubling trou- ble before it troubles them have been worrying about the very cold winter which they feel sure is to come after the very hot summer. That they may be worrying unnecessarily is shown by Dr. Fassig in the Weather Review, who gives the result of an investigation of the records from 1917 to the present time. He says that neither exception ally warm summers nor exceptionally cold summers have any influence on the weather of the winters that follow them; that in fact there is no regular alienation or period in atmospheric temperatures. Each season, therefore, 1t may be said, makes its own weather, and because the present summer has been extremely hot there is not the slightest scientific reason for believing that the coming winter will be unusu- ally cold.
 Good. It is wiser to wait until we see what next winter is before being much disturbed by it. Perhaps it will be tempered to shorn lambs.

The probability is that at no time did he feel his loss more than at the time those uresrepresent; mna is never more lonely than when in q great crowd, and a popular man is usually the least joyous during a great ovation in his honor"
