After season Of silence in regard to
the Transvasl war, that conflict was
again brought to the minds Of the public
by sensational news from that quarter.
A Boer general, Delarey, attacked a
detachment Of English by surprise, in
fcting defeat with a loss OF 200 men.
The same grist Of news contains an ac.
count Of Boer invasion Of Cape Colony,
which was checked with difficulty. The
elusive style Of warfare which the Beers
pursue is one full OF difficulty to the
British, who seem to be able to accom-
plish little against it. Meanwhile the
war drags on indefinitely, constantly
making huge drains on the Engirh
excheQuer.

A civil government has been arranged
for the Philippine islands. 1t differs
little, save in name, from the military
system and lie under the supervision OF
the secretary OF war. A few years OF
uuobstructed American rule in the
islands will accomplish wonders and
the Filipinos themselves will be- dii-
ierent people, The Filipinos are very
bright and quick, but, being Of Malay
extraction are none too trustworthy.
They are eager to learn and there is a
great demand for teachers. They learn
the English language with remarkable
celebrity. The capture and subsequent
pacific attitude of Aguinaldo seems to
have had all the effect that was
prophesied.

found favor with a large percentage ol

The proposition is to close the business
houses at seven O'Clock each evening
except Saturdays, Ample notice and
advertisement is to be given previous to
the change, II adopted, so that no one
will be inconyenenced thereby. THIS
change is greatly needed by overworked

There ls some talk afoat Of third
term for Mckinley, but it is only talk
and will amount to nothing The limit
of two terms for man as president Is
too deeply grounded in tradition and
precedent to be readily set aside.
Washington himself get the example of
declining the third term, and others have
followed the precedent. The particular
congressman, Grosvener, who is advo
eating a third term for Mckinley, says
that il was fear Of defeat that impelled
Washington to decline the third term.
This idea has not been extensively adver-
tised hitherto, There is no evidence
that Mckinley himself desires third
term, the advancement Of the idea being
confined TO few Of his admirers.
