FightingFo An Empire.

The contest in South Africa has
passed from an attempt to overrun
the Transysa to fight to maintain
British supremacy in South Africa.
The attempt to seize the land and
possessions of the Beers has endan-
geled the holding of all of South
Africa from the southern border of
the Olaage Free State to Capetown.
The English are in dread of n Dutch
uprising. II this comes, much
larger force than Roberts and Butler
led against Pretoria will be needed to
restore again the prestige of British
authority. So far as the Beers are
concerned they will not be conquered
until the last one is dead or deported.
This war long since ceased to be a
conflict between armies, and became
q series of desperate skirmishes and
guerrilla fighting. Regular warfare
is terrible enough, but this kind of a
conflict is full of horrors. The coun-
try is devastated. Women and chill
dren-the men are all fghting-are
being driven from their homes and
abused.-Rocky Mountain News.

croker's Income Tax

About the time that the constitu-
tiopality Of the income tax was being
argued before the United States Su-
preme court, much was heard in this
country about the soc.alistic and pop
ulistic character of such tax, and it
was noted as an evidence in certain
circles that in enacting such law
Congress had yielded to a clamor
that was seeking to rob every rich
man in the country.
1t is now reasonably certain that
some mistake must have been made
in the matter. There is certain
class of wealthy New Workers who
delight in spending much time
abroad, who have large interests in
England, and who are eternally con
tfsstlng England with their own
country, to the latter's disparage
ment- A few days ago Mr. Richard
Croker Of New York was served with
summons to appear before the proper
tribunal and make answer regarding
his income tax, which is of long exis.
tence there, must be perfectly proper
method of taxation, since it bears the
stamp Of approval of the British gov.
ernment.
What therefore, have the oppo
nents of this system of taxation to
say? Does tax maintained by a
monarchical form of government be-
come a popullstic one when traus-
ported across the Atlantic? If other
English laws and customs gladden.
the hearts of the wealthy classes OF
America, why not also the income
tax2 The simple truth is that the
sooner this form of taxation is put
in force In this country the sooner
will the millionaires and multl-Inil.
lionaires begin to bear their equal
share of the burdens Of government.

CRANE CATCHING SPARROWS.

From The New-Orleans Times Democrat.
Some time ago I had occasion TO observe in
teresting change in the habits and temperament
of a crane which had been picked up in the
swamps of Arkansas. said a gentleman from one
change was startling, too. The crane was placed
in a small park which literally filed with
English sparrows. These pests did not like the
visitor from the lowlands. and they made daily
assaults on the poor bird. The crane pretty
fowl. long. slender pure white. and with the
stately stride of tragedian. The sparrows would
systematically swoop down on the crane in droves.
and the attack fierce and vicious The crane
stood the assaults with indifference for a while,
but finally the fowl from the swamps figured out
method of retaliation. and IL was enectual In
some way the crane learned that sparrow was
pretty sweet morsel. From the time she learned
IL she feasted on sparrows She would slip up
cautiously these pesky twitterers and throw her
yellow heak out like gig. She never missed the
mark She always landed a sparrow and a sim
gular part OF the thing is lat she would swallow
