Mr.. Krtiger adds TO the controversy the inter

plot TO overthrow British rule and make all

and indeed probable that the story is true ana
that Mr.. Kriiger's vehement denial OF 1t Is also
true That is to say, his denial is true so rar
as he and the Transvaal are concerned. 1t does
not appear that any one has ever seriously sus-
pected that venerable "voortrekker' of conspir-
ing to such effect. But his denial can scarcely
be accepted as convincing in the case OF the
Orange State and some of the Afrikanders at
the Cape. Ii has long been matter of undis-
puted record that Mr. ReitZ, formerly President
of the Orange State. declared himself and his
friends 10 he aiming at complete overthrow OF
British authority in South Africa and at the

HOLDING OFT IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The replies OF the Boer leaders TO Lord Kitch-
eners proclamation confirm strongly the opinion
which expressed long ago, namely. that
ex President Steyn OF the Orange River Free
State has been and is the real leader OF the
struggle against the British. and that Il Is
because of him and General De Wet and other
Orange State men that the war is still main
tanned. AT the outset the Transvaal appeared
10 be the leader and the Orange State 10 be
dragged into the war through a fellow feeling
for its bigger neighbOr and by virtue of the
alliance between them. Certainly relations
between the Orange State and Great Britain
were and had long been entirely friendly, and
there was no direct reason for a breach Of the
peace. But it was not long before the influence
Of Mr.. Steyn made itself felt far above that Of
Mr.. Krtiger. When Lord Roberts marched up
10 Pretoria it is an open secret that the Trans
vaalers were ready TO make terms OF peace If
Mr.. Steyn would agree to It. But that resolute
and ambitious chieftain refused to listen to
such talk, kept up the fight in the northern part
Of the Orange State. and presently sent De Wet
down to reinvade Cape Colony. In such cir
cumstances the Transvaal Beers had no option
but 10 continue the war. Good faith and honor
would not permit them 10 abandon their Orange
allies.
Such appears TO be the state OF the case
to-day. Whatever chickering's and msunder
standings there may have been among the Boer
leaders have been disposed of. and perfect con-
fidence and mutual trust exist between those Of
the Orange State and those of the Transvaa
No matter how much the latter may desire to
surrender TO negotiate for peace, they can
not do so while Mr.. steyn and his comrades per-
sist in holding out. But even that Is not the
supreme obstacle. Mr. Steyn and his comrades

PLAIN HINTS TO CITY RULERS.

one of the topics a convention Of American
mayors always approaches with true diplomatic
caution is the relative breakdown in this conn
Try Of the machinery Of municipal government.
Our forms of State and national administration
are admitted TO have borne with admirable ease
the strains to which they have been subjected
through a century OF unexampled progress But
the attempts made at self government in our
larger cities have 10y no means measured up TO
the same gratifying level of excellence. Our
municipal shortcomings have been the one blot
on our record for political capacity and political
Judgment. and il would be only human 10
expect our municipal administrators 10 stretch
as charitable mantle as possible over the
workings of the system with whose failures
they are inevitably more or less identified
1t is interesting. therefore. 10 find a mayor
discussing municipal backslidings with the
frankness displayed al Buffalo the other day
by Mayor Thomas q. Hayes of Baltimore
Mayor Hayes spoke before the same gathering
of city functionaries to which Acting Mayor
Randolph Guggenheimer had so vividly pct-
ured the beauties and benefits Of Tammany rule
in NewYork Mr.. Hsyes's theories. il is need
less TO say. did not entirely fit the situation so
enthusiastically portrayed by Mr. Guggen-
heimer; for one Of the first essentials TO i'm

was that "a mayor must he in fact as we'll as
in theory the directing head; If he consents to
ne controlled by any power behind the throne
his efforts TO improve his city government will
be failure" Such heterodox philosophy. Of
course. could never commend itself 10 Mr. Gug-
genheimer or TO the exalted dignitary he rep
resented at Buffalo; nor is il ever likely 10 be
honored save in the breach by the political
pundits who preach and practise the Higher
Up" doctrine in greater New-York
But Mayor Hayes had other startling though
simple reforms 10 suggest in municipal admins
tration. He strongly advocated the adoption of
business principles by city governments. He
advised that city salaries be cut TO the level OF
those allowed for similar services In non-offical
employments; he advocated the purchase of all
municipal supplies through open competition
the disposal OF public privileges AT public auc
tion and the letting out of city work wherever
poesible by duly supervised contract But the

NEW PL4THOESES.

In proportion to population Gotham has
fair supply of theatres in comparison with the
other celebrated cities of the world. But this
capital IS rich and fond of amusement
that it might reasonably be expected TO afford
liberal support to more than one additional
playhouse in these days, provided the new
temples of dramatic art were wisely planned
and sagaciously managed. And along the march
of progress in Broadway three new Thespian
mansions will soon be appealing for public pat
ronage. This generation of New-Yorkers and OF
visitors to New-YOrk demands insstenty
wide variety of entertainment 1t may not be
always emphatic and forcible in requiring the
best of plays, the best of acting. and nothing Of
lower standard But the nation and the
metropolis are so big, so populous and so afflu-
ent that they will support several new theatres
on Manhattan Island within a few seasons.
Below Fourteenth-st. the masks of true
tragedy and true comedy are known no longer,
although clowning and horseplay may be seen
in beer gardens. The Star Theatre and Niblo's
Garden and all the Oldtime homes OF acting
have disappeared or have been abandoned. The
uptown rush has carried actors and actresses
with 1t. But new stages will be set up ere long
in the crowded quarters of this northward jour
neying city.

municipal appontees without exception should

exertion of political influence. In Baltimore
after his election. Mayor Hayes explained, the
politicians indorsed men for all departmental
heads, but was careful not to appoint one so
''indorsed''; and though this raised howl from
the politicians he has never seen any reason TO
swerve from that independent course.
Mayor Hayes's remarks may have startled
some OF his easygoing associates who, like Mr..
Guggenheimer. think we live in a sufficiently
golden municipal age. But they have both
refreshing candor and a serious value. which,
we hope were not wholly lost on the five hun
dred city rulers gathered at Buffalo.

OUTLOOK FOR THE RAILWAYS

From the top point in June prices of railroad
securities there began severe reaction started
by preparations for the steel strike and acceI-
Grated by drouth in corn growing regions After
the average of the sixty most active railways
had fallen about SIS and manipulation was at its
height, The Tribune earnestly advised invest
not 10 sacrifice their holdings. 1t was
demonstrated that while prices had fallen
actual values were not impaired, and with the
passing OF the scare there would come a re-
sumption of quotations conforming TO the better
condition of railroad properties, abundance of
funds seeking investment and general pros
perity of the nation. Within six weeks the
average has risen to the position held the night
before the Chicago contingent ralded the mar
ket reports of injury 10 corn, and with the
rapid reopenng of idle steel mills there is every
indication that the best prices OF the year will
be surpassed
Exact statistics of the long strides made by
the railroads during recent years given in
the report of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission just issued. Although these figures
are brought up only to June 80 1900. there Is
an immense amount Of encouragement In the
comparison of increased net income during the
last five years of which returns are available
while. despite the increase in bond issue for
extension ana Improvement or property, there
is practically gain in interest charges, since
high rate debts have been refunded at much
better terms owing 10 the easy money market.
This has resulted in great gain in the amount
of dividends distributed TO shareholders and
the percentage of capital stock receiving inter
est has risen in five years from less than 30 to
over As per cent. while the amount so paid to
stockholders about S140O0O,0O0 In 1900,
against SS5 900 in 1895. 1t is we'll known
that present conditions are still better, as more
bonds have been refunded at lower rate and
many stocks added TO the list Of dividend pay
ers.
So far as tonnage is concerned the loss of
corn is not vital factor. Only small per-
centage of the crop ever leaves the county in
which IL is grown, and the supplementary
fodder products. such alfalfa and kaffir corn,
have been enormous, assuring fat live stock

marketed High prices for corn have almost
stopped the export movement, but the tendency
is toward a more rational level and interior
recejDts continue in excess OF last years, so
that the roads as yet have lost little except on
freights TO the coast. Meanwhile the foreign
demand for wheat is broadening, and unprece-
dented shipments this year assure the railroads
Of a heavier tonnage of this grain to the sea-
board than ever before. At the South there is
still hope of at least as large a cotton crop as

manufacturing having expanded so that agri-
cultural conditions have less weight than here

Coal carrying roads were never so actively en-
gagged as now, the shares of the anthracite
properties having taken the lead in the stock
market and this product is becoming FACTOR
of some account in the export trade. Despite
the great increase in number of cars ana loco
motives in use. the movement of merchandise is
retarded by freight blockades, shippers contlnu-
ally complaining of late deliveries. The con-
sodation of numerous properties and COM
munity of interest in others give the benefits
of wise management for mutual good and con-
sequent economies in operation In nation
where domestic industrial conditions are almost
uniformly prosperous, and foreign commerce
has expanded until a position of International
supremacy has been attained, the railways
must necessarily share largely in the success.
An indication of no small Importance is the
gradual disappearance from the market of many
stocks formerly active, and the transfer of
speculative attention TO the low priced issues.

VACATION TINE.

The glad vacation time Is when
The bug crawls down your neck
And chattering misses think that men
Must answer every beck.
You row the boats and push the swings
And far on picnics roam.
And eat innumerabe things
You would not touch at home.
With breakfast done, for lunch you wait;
And then when lunch is through
For dinner time, with patience great.
You start TO wait anew
And, be IL in the mountains far,
Or by the billowy shore,
How gloriously glad you are
To get to work once more!
