The war in South Africa has now
entered its third year, with peace still
not in sight. 1t may be that hostilities
will continue another twelve months.
or they may be drawn out TWO years
more. The spirit of the Boer leaders is
apparently unbroken, Notwithstanding
their severe losses. and their recent
successes may have the effect of slim
ulating their courage for the conflict.
Mr.. Kruger continues to assert that it
is to be a fight to the bitter end, and
his generals in the field are echoing his
words.
1t has been a very remarkable war
in more ways than one, and an ex-
tremely costly one to Great Britain.
At the beginning Of hostilities the to-
tai population of the South African
Republic and the Orange Free State
was, in round numbers, 100000 souls.
Since the war began Great Britain
has sent to South Africa 325,000 SOL
diers-more than one British soldier
for every man, woman and child of
the Dutch burgher population. Against

the field at the high-water mark of
their strength about 10000 men. AS a
consequence of the war the British
forces had on Sept. is been depleted,
from all causes, by 100000 men. This
includes all casualties, all captures,
and troops invalided home. In addition
there had been a withdrawal of some
$4,000 other troops, leaving the total
British force in South Africa at the
beginning of the third year of the war
in the neighborhood of 100000 men.
Against these the Beers had in the
field, as nearly as can be estimated
not over II, 900 men. More than halt
of the original number of Boer SOL
diers, or about $4,000 have been cap
tured and are now held prisoners by
the British. In addition there are some
1877, 900 Boer women and children in the
refugee camps. The condition of these
refugees, or "reconcentrados," is so
depIorable that there have been pro-
tests from all parts of the civilized
world respecting it.
six months or so ago the British
chancellor of the exchequer announced
in the House of Commons that the war
in South Africa had cost Great Britain
s755, 100000. Since that time there has
been very little if any reduction of ex-
penses, so that the probabilities are
the two years of war have cost Great
Britain not less than $1,000, 100000. That
is approximately three times the cost
of the Crimean war. And the prodl-
gious figures must go on growing for
months to come. The cost Of war has
become so enormous and wars conse-
quences so disastrous to at least one
and maybe both of the parties to it,
that civilized nations should bend their
energies towards finding a substitute
for armed conflict in the settlement OF
their differences.

Afraid of the "AIligator."

He was evidently from the country,
this little old German, and as his eyes
rested on the elevator, undoubtedly for
the first time. his sense of the ridicu-
lous was touched, says the New York
Post.
For a few minutes he stood in Won
derment and then, laughing softly to
himself, he stopped the first person he
CHANGED to see, who happened to be
the janitor, and fired this at him: wat

pie oop der stairs stooden still?'
"Oh, that's the elevator" was the
answer.

Josh Wink in Baltimore American.
There are days when every single
thing you try to do goes wrong;
You cannot even twist your necktie
right;
You cannot get your hair to part ex-
actly as it should
Your breakfast will not coax an ap-
petite;
Every finger that you have seems to
be made into a thumb;
Your brain cannot be brought
around to think,
And everything YOU try to do goes just
the other way
And then you stick your pastebrush
in the ink!
There are days that come to all of us
when matters take a twist;
The very morning paper makes us
mad:
We do not like the way the sun comes
sinking from the east:
We vow our lucks the worst we
ever had;
The man we want to pleasantly i'm
press does not appear
Instead there comes some one from
whom we shrink;
And, taken altogether, life is such a
hollow thing
'Tis then you stick the pastebrush in
the ink!
Now, that's the fiercest climax to ali
these unlucky things;
1t coaXes all our swear words to the
front
TO jab the blasted inkwell with the
idiotc brush
VIII make a man arrange a swearing
stunt.
And then it is the jingles fail to Jingle
as they should.
And pointless jokes are all that one
can think.
OF all unlucky days, the hoodoo settles
on the one
That sees us stick the pastebrush in
the ink!

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Hartford Comm Times (Den)
says: THE army canteen should be
restored by Congress next winter and
probably it will be. 1t should not be
possible for the bigotry which calls to-
tai abstinence temperance, and which
willingly consents to see the health of
our soldiers diminished in order that
theories condemned by the medical
profession may be enforced as army
regulations. to override the sober com
mon sense of the American people. BY
permitting a certain liberty in the use
of beer and light wines the army can
teen helps to discourage the use OF in
toxicating liquors. 1t is an admirable
moral agency. and it is greatly to be
regretted that the senators and MEM
bers of Congress did not have the
courage to stand by what they knew
to be truth and the right last winter"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
(Ind) discussing the Boer war, con-
cludes IF the Salisbury ministry
can endure another year of failure in
bringing about a triumphant peace,
present signs are misleading. A cabi-
net reconstruction would be the wars
last ditch. and II failure still ensued
in South Africa the hour would then
arrive for some Rockingham to make
peace, acknowledging the political in
dependence of Afrikanderdom. The
next year promises to be one of the
most critical in the empires history"
The Cincinnati Enquirer Dem)
says 1.-THE Hon. Joseph w. Bailey of
Texas, has expressed the opinion that
the Hon. Arthur 2. German would
make an excellent Democratic candi
date for President in 1904. He would
also make an excellent President. Mr..
Bailey has ripened with a few years
in public life, and he does not speak at
random"

Jersey are now offering TO bet / TO .
that they win elect the governor next

No woman will ever admit she was

Nevada is looking forward to a par
ticularly lively campaign for the sue
censorship to Senator John P. Jones.
The campaign will be opened shortly.
The election will occur next year. Rep
resentative Newlands is a candidate
for the seat, and Jones wants to go
back again. Both Newlands and Jones
are rich, very rich, and each has the
reputation of being a free spender to
achieve his political ends. Senator
Stewart, also, is a rich man, and it is
expected that he and his barrel will
be in evidence during the campaign
Stewart has not yet taken sides as be-
tween Jones and Newlands. He is
looking out for his own seat, and Will
do whatever may be necessary towards
keeping solid with the majority. One
of the charges that Newlands brings
against Jones is that he has not been
a bona fide resident of Nevada during
the last eighteen years, and never Wis
it's the state except just prior to the
elections At all events there is go
ing to be something doing" in Ne
vada politics this winter and next
spring, and the political workers of the
state are looking forward to flush

Feeding. by absorption is one of the
latest scientific fads. According to a
prospectus of the innovation, the food
is to be prepared into a sort of plaster
and stuck on the body in the place
where it will do the most good; thus
nourishment will be absorbed into the
system. In practice the scheme would
be boon to the quick lunch man. He
could run over to the nearest plaster
counter, grab a milk and-apple- pie
plaster, clap it on the back of his
neck and be back to business again
in half the time it requires to absorb
the food by the old process. But we
doubt if the new idea will ever obtain
for dinner parties, with long and elab
crate menus. A matron in full dress
after attending a plaster dinner would
present too much the appearance of an
animated bill board.
