Progress ofthe south African War.
De Wet, DeIareY and other
leaders still hold out, though with
diminished forces and lessened ae.
tivity. General De Vets last in.
vasion of Cape Colony seems to
have impaired his physical vigor,
owing to the exhausting nature of
the campaign, with the result that
he has not recently captured any
more British posts. To a certain
extent, il is said, the burghers are
becoming discouraged and volun-
tarilY surrendering. Several com
panies Of Beers nov serve under
British officers against such Of the
guerrilla bands as are thought TO
be too ready to appropriate the
property OF the farmers. These
companies capture and bring in
occasionally patches Of prisoners.
What most encourages the British
is the fact that, owing to the grow
ing feeling among the Beers that
the war is hopeless and the fight
ing ought to cease, less help is
given By non. com 5atants to the
rowing commanders. The local
farmers do not so much as tor
merly act as spies upon the in
vaders, but, on the contrary, not
infreQuently give them information
leading to the capture of men,
arms and stock. The Kahirs, also,
seeing how matters are going, have
plucked up courage to reveal
buried arms and ammunition and
show where cattle are concealed.
With astonishing success the CON
mandoes escape, as a rule, when
attacked, but the policy of depriv
ing the fighters Of supplies by re-
moving all families and supplies
from the rural districts to fortified
posts is gradually wearing out the
patriots. Horses, ammunition and
food having become scarce, not
few lose hope and submit. Now
that winter is coming on the hard
ship OF their position is materially
increased.

Amusements.

Alabama" the we'll known comedy
drama by Augustus Thomas, author OF
Arizona and In Missouri, will be revived
next week by the Lafayette Square
stock company. The play has been
seen here several times in the past
dozen years, hut it has never failed to
draw large audiences. II is Justly con-
sidered Augustus Thomas masterpiece,
and though his later offerings have
attained great success they never quite
reached the standard of his Alabama.
The play is a moving picture OF the
South after the war, the scenes being
laid IN State which suffered much in
that memorable conflict. Old scars are
healed in the course OF the drama, and
Northern lovers come wooing daughters
OF the COnfederacy. There are n1an4>
admirable types Of the South which
Washingtonians koow and can appre-
ciate. There is the gallant Colonel
Moberly, the relic Of the Confederacy;
the stdlwart Col. Preston, the genial
Squire Tucker, the hospitable Widow
Page, and many other pleasing charac-
ters true TO lite, In the leading heroic
role Edwin Arden will have another
opportunity to impress Washington
audiences with his clever work, and he
will probably duplicate the hit he has
scored this week in capt Swift" Mr..
Arden's engagement as leading man OF
the Lafayette company is considered BY
the management most fortunate selec-
ton, and the esteem in which this finished
young actor is held, proves that he is
already one OF the most popular leading
men ever seen in this citv. Miss Minnie
Radcliffe and the other capable players
OF the Lafayette company will appear IN
the production, and William Seymour,
the stage director, will once more
appear with the company. playing the
role OF Col. Moberly.

The decision was handed down
in the case Of the Joseph Schlitz
Brewing Company VS.. the United
States, coming to this court from
the Court OF Claims. The claim
originally was made tor a draw
back on duties paid on hops and
barley, as well as on bottles and
corks used in the manufacture Of
bottled beer to be exported. The
Court OF Claims allowed the first
item oil the claim and denied the
second.
Justice Brown. in handing down
the decision Of the Supreme Court,
said the case turned upon the point
as to whether corks and bottles
are ingredients Of beer. Plainly, |
he Justice said, in passing upon
he case, they were not:

Lieut.. GOV. Caldwell Gets a Boost.

Lieut.. GOV. Caldwell Gets a Boost.
The Rev. P. A. Baker, State
Superintendent Of the Anti Saloon
League of Ohio, has announced
open hostility to the denomination
Of Lieutenant Governor Caldwell
by the Republican State Conven
tion. He declares that the League
can defeat Caldwell il he is nomi-
mated, and be will do so. He
claims to be amply justified in this
opinion by letters he has from all
parts of the State, and by confer
ences with Republican leaders Of
influence in their respective neigh
borhoods. He urges that the op-
position to Mr.. Caldwell has been
greatly strengthened in the last two
years.
Here are some Of the biting
things he reduces to print: "The
decent people of the State have
awakened to the fact that they
elected not a Lieutenant Governor,
but whisky and beer lobbyist,
when they elected Caldwell. His
interests are centered in the liquor
traffic, and he used his position as
President Of the Senate unblush-
ingly to do all in his pow er to ham,
per the fight for temperance legis.
lation. His rooms az the Neil
House were the center OF the
whisky lobby" &c.
There is a great deal more in
the Rev. Mr.. Bakers statements
as vitriolic as this. Well, there
are other voters in Ohio than Anti
Saloon Leaguers. to whom this
denunciation OF Mr.. Caldwell by
the Rev. P. A. Baker will be
strong endorsement. Lieutenant
Governor Caldwell may be con-
graduated on the enemies he has
made.

Information for Brewers.
Stamps Must be Perforated.


]. w. Yerkes, Commissioner OF
the Internal Revenue, addressed
last Wednesday a circular letter to
the collectors OF internal revenue
and others concerning the cancel
lation of internal revenue stamps.
He prescribes that on and after the
first day Of July next all stamps
used for denoting the tax upon
iermented liquors shall be can.
celed bY perforations to be made
in the form oil the name Of the
person, firm, or corporation by
whom such liquors were made, or
some suitable abbreviation thereof,
or Of the initial letters of the name,
and the date when cancelled, which
date may be indicated by numer-
ais, if preferred, signifYing the
number Of the month in the calen-
dar, the day of the month, and the
last two figures OF the number Of
the current year, as for example:
5, Z, OF, meaning May ?, 1901.
Such cancellation, according to
this rule, shall be in lieu OF the
method oil cancellation heretofore
required.
This order was issued mainly for
the purpose OF doing away, il pos
sible, with the washing and reuse
oil revenue stamps.
1t will be recalled that while the
War RevCnue bill was under dis
cussion last winter an amendment
was adopted intended to authorize
the cancellation of beer stamps by
perforation instead Of by stamping
or imprinting as at present.
Through mistake the amendment
was drafted and passed in a form
which made cancellation by per-
foration and imprinting necessary, |
in other words. would have |
doubled the labor required in the
work 10 every brewer.
The Editor Of the SENTINEL de-
tected the error and called the at
tention OF the Internal Revenue
Department to it. The Acting
Commissioner, Mr.. Williams, was
not aware Of the form in which the
had passed the House,
and expressed his thanks to US for
he information. When the bill
reached the Senate the correction
was made leaving it to the dis
;retion Of the Department as to
he method to be employed. We
Ilso called the attention OF the Off
.ers Of the United States Brewers
Association to the matter so that
he Trustees could take whatever
Iction was necessary. Now after
thorough examination OF both
Methods OF cancellation the
Commissioner has concluded that
he interests OF the Government
nd the wishes OF The brewers
'ould be best met b. the adoption
t the sytem ofperloration and has
'sued his order accordingly.
The Editor OF the SENTINEL is
leased to refer to his connection
ith this matter as an illustration
the benefit the SENTINEL has
cen to brewers and the Internal
.evenue Department also.

in so far as it means an acknowl-
edgment that conditions-indus.
trial, financial and commercial
demand a change Of policy, pre-
sages an upheaval which may pos
sibly bring about a temporary
suspension Of party alignments.
This much is certain.
To say that acquiescence in Nc
Kinley's programme involves the
disruption Of the Democratic party
or forces that party forever to fol-
low the path trod by the President
is not fairly stating the case. While
the President has planted the flag
in the Philippines and may even
be considered not aVerse to doing
so elsewhere, acceptance Of ac.
complshed facts and adoption of
measures to make the best Of what
we may consider a bad Job, is not
committing any one to a support
OF such things elsewhere and
should not be construed in the
light OF abandonment OF Demo-
cratic principles.
We are in the Philippines
whether we are there to stay will
depend on circumstances material
rather than political. If the out
come Of our venture is CONNER
cial success the Philippines will
remain United States territory az
long as there is a United States.
II that venture ends in commercial
failure the Philippines will remain
United States territory just so long
as it would take US to drop the
familiar hot potato.
Their acquisition, il is now ad |
mitted, was a Uatter OF military
necessity. Politics had nothing to
do with it. They have cost us
millions, and we will have to spend
more millions until we have
brought about a condition OF
affairs which will permit US to allow
their people to govern themselves
at their own expense. Any assist
ance given our Government TO
hasten this day will not rebound
10 a party's advantage. 1t will,
however, to our peoples. 1t is
our duty-everyone's duty-to
'ender it. If trade follows our
Efforts, so much the better. Our
