SO 2-16-showing q loss between the
two dates of practically Is cents on
each dollar of English bonds. If we
calculate the English National debt at
five billion dollars-and this SUN we
believe is under rather than over the
true amount-it will be- seer that the
holders of these bonds have lost m
thing like eight hundred millions of
money. When there is added to this
great sum the billion dollars that have
been expended during the progress of
the war, and the damage to property
in South Africa, both private and pub
lie, it begins to look as if President
Kruger knew what he was talking
about when he said that the price
England would have to pay for the two
little Republics would stagger human
ity. The English taxpayer and bond
holder have already been staggered.
The killing of a few thousand women
and children does not count in this age
of Christian civilization and human
progress. No one cares about that.
and the killing of some thousands of
soldiers may be regarded as a good
radiance of bad rubbish; but the loss
of SO much money is horrible.

furnished by the State. Then we per-

GENERAL KITCHENER demands a re-
Enforcement of twenty-five thousand
seasoned mounted men and the power
to shoot or hang any man In South
Africa that displeases him, without
the form OF a trial. Sir Herbert is a
very modest cut-throat. He ought to
be satisfied with the murder of two
thousand Boer children per month.
Perhaps his appetite for blood grows
with what it feeds upon. 1t is now in
order for some devil in the garb of a
preacher to arise and thank God for
the work the British are doing in South
Africa. We are disinclined to de-
scend to the level OF Sam Jones, but we
are strongly tempted to say that hell
is full of preachers of that kind, and
we would utter no lie if We did.

Pearls of Purity.

Gems from the Rev. Sam P. Jones
lecture at Pennington, with common
taries thereon:
every time the Republicans act the
rascal the Democrats act the fool"
A good many people think that Bro.
Jones acts the fool in order to success
fully ''pull" the rascals.
'tIf the Democratic party dom come
back to good old Jeffersonian princl-
Piles they're done for 100 years."
Will Bro. Jones kindly tell US what
good old Je%ffersonian principles areP
Are they the same as those of Mark
Hanna? How much does Brother Jones
get IN the side from his ~plutocratic
friends for his political workP
s'Between the low cut ball dress and
the high cut bicycle dress I'm getting
uneasy for the result"
There is no occasion for anxiety,
Brother Jones; you need not look.
"Modesty and purity are the two
props of womanhood. Knock either
one out and she falls"
Is this intended as a warning to the
modest and pure to keep away from
the lectures of the Reverend Sam Z.
Jones?
When he.conducted the service for
laying the cornerstone of the Southern
Methodist Church al Pennington, did
the choir sing .'There'll be a hot time
in the old town tonight" The mem
bers of that church should take up that
corner stone, scour it with soap and
sand, and bury it decently.
When the Fool-Killer comes around
Brother Jones will be in no especial
danger, but the parties who contributed
that two hundred dollars an hour for
his way of talking will have to hide
out.

BRADSTREET'S issues a warning note
this week in regard to unsatisfactory
financial conditions in Germany. A
great many large banks have, in years
past, loaned largely upon real estate,
but the causes operating there to de-
plete the rural population and build
up the cities have caused a decline 10
the value of real estate. The result is
that banks cannot realize upon their
securities; they cannot get their o
ey back, and a business CONFUSION that
reaches to every department of trade
Is In progress. German ~financiers are
of opinion that If the devastating wal
In South Africa could be brought to a
close and the eighty million dollars of
gold that the T~ransvaal mines annually
poured into the lap of Europe before
the breaking out of hostilities could be
once more thrown into circulation, it
would go far to relieve the financial
pressure in the German Empire. As a
consequence of this demand for an in
creased money supply. the nations of
Central Europe are growing almost as
weary of that long-drawn-out contest
as the English taxpayer. In other
words, Germany is suffering from too
much Gold Standard. 1t is a little sim
gular that the contention of the Dem
ocratic party in 1896, .'that the guam
tity of money of final account in actual
circulation fixes the level of prices''-l
then so much derided-should now be
accepted by leading ~inauciers on both
sides of the Atlantic as automatic.
They admit that the advocates of rotten
money. as they contemptuously termed
the champions of bimetalism. were
right and are right to-day; but they
believe the fool people will never find
1t out. Ii we should obtain free coin
age OF silver prices would double be-
fore the expiration of Mr.. Roosevelt's
term, and the increase of our rural
population would be very great.

TN HEART OF THE CATSKILLS
MANY MOST ATTRACTIVE PLACES FOR SUMNER SOJOURN
IN THE MOUNTAINS.


Months would be required to visit and describe
all the beautiful places where people from the
c,ties find rest and recreatit In the Catskis. The
mountains and their foothills cover nearly all of
the County OF Greene. much of Ulster a little of
Delaware nearly half OF Schoharie and a corner OF
Albany County. The highest ranges and ridges
however. lie in Greene and Ulster counties and the
eastern edge of Delaware and II their vicinity the
more favored summer resorts lie. Most Of them
are easily reached from New-York by all rail
tourney by combination Of Hudson River
steamboat and railway travel, may be pre-
ferred, and even the most remote accessible
from e railway station by stages. One unusual
feature of mountain region noticeable in the
Catslulls is good roads A well built and smooth
drive from almost any point OF interest to all
others IN the immediate vicinity is nearly always
found. The number OF natural ponds and noun
tain streams is large, and there picturesque
rapids and falls in almost every part OF noun
tains. Deep gorges and precipitous mountain sides
IN many places add grandeur to the scene, while a
pastoral quiet prevails everywhere.
