"FIGHT", SAYS KRUGER.

LONDON, July Elm the course of a
discussion in the House of Commons
relative to the continuance of the war
and the nature of the settlement, Mr.
Brodrick, secretary of state for war,
announced that Gen. Kitchener few
days ago granted permission to Com
mandant-General Botha to send CT
pher message to Mr. Kruger and also
allowed reply to be sent in cipher.
The result of the concession, how
ever, was that Immediately the reply
reached the Boer leaders a prociama-
ton was issued to the burghers declar-
ing that nothing short of independence
would satisfy Mr.. Kruger and that
fighting would continue until that was
accomplished.
1t was absurd to suggest, said Mr..
Brodrlck, In view of that declaration
that the government could now con-
cede terms which it would not have
offered months ago. However long
the war might last and however long
the speeches of members Of the opposi-
ton might encourage the enemy, the
government was determined to see the
war through.
The debate became rather warm and
Mr.. Balfour, the government leader,
applying the term pro-Boer to Sir
Henry -Bannerman, the leader of the
opposition, the latter Indignantly
objected to being called a name
which was intended to be offensive
Mr.. Balfour said he would willing
ly withdraw the term if it was
offensive, but remarked that the Irish
did not object to it; thereupon Mr..
John Redmond denied that he Irish
members were followers of Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman and William
Redmond thanked God that he was not
a Liberal member.
Mr.. Balfour declared that it was not
Europe or America that encouraged
the Beers to hopeless resistance, but
the members of the British Opposition
He implored them to recognize the
great responsibility they were incurr-
ing.

Humbug Tears.

Ga July 4, the Legislature of Porto
Rico unanimously v ted for measures
which will secure by local taxation
enough money TO pay the expenses OF
the colonial government. They also
made provision for the proclamation. on
July 20, OF free trade between Porto Rico
and the Uuited States. Thus the act
OF Congress which provided for such a
contingency and which was TO expire
by its own terms two years from the
date of its passage, will run ou." be-
fore that time.
This is quite an achievement, 1t re-
respectively stamps with a premature
or crocodile character the tears which
were shed when the act was passed.
They were tears for the oppressed un-
oppressed. They we're tears for the
enslaved unensaved. They we're tears
for the injured uninjured. They we're
nonsense, hypocrisy, humbug. Since
they were shed the United States Su-
preme Court has declared that the pro-
visiOnal tariff act is constitutional, and
that is another cause for looking back
upon those humbug tears without re-
spect,
Every one who has tried to trip W
manifest destiny has found that bsC
fall has cost him broken nose. =

DOMESTIC.

WASHINGTON, July CHARLES G.
Dawes, comptroller of the currency,
has resigned his office to take effect
October l next. Mr.. Dawes says he
has resigned because of his intention
to be candidate before the people of
Illinois for the United States Senate.
1t would not be possible for him during
the next year to make canvass for the
Sena aud at the same time admins
ter to his own satisfaction the office he
now holds. He says he is influenced
solely in this action by what seems the
plain properties of the situation.

CANTON, o., July 6.-President and

compsnitd by Secretary Cortelyon, DR..
| Rixey and several attaches of the White
| House.
Mrs. Mckinley shows evidence OF
her recent severe illness in the thin
ness and pallor of her lace, but she
moved from the train without ma
| terial assistance, appeared to be in a
contented ard cheerful state of mind.
She cordially acknowledged the greet
ings of friends and neighbors. The

A Radical Distinction.

This question of consistency is inter-
essing, but if the discussion of it is to
go on, the fundame utal differences be-
tween the two Issues of the treatment
of the Filipinos and the treatment Of
the negroes should not be disre yarded.
In the case of the Filipinos, we have a
large and heterogeneous population,
who are not now American citizens,
and who have not had the training I'M
der free institutions necessary to fit
them to become so. In the case Of the
negroes, we have large body of peo-
pie, born in this country, living under
its institutions, responsible to it's laws,
and constituted citizens by the express
declarations of the Constitution. To
argue that to refuse the rights of citi.
zenship to the Filipinos is the same
thing as to take away the rights of cit.
izenship from the negroes is to reason
from false premises to unsound con-
illusions. Boston Journal.

STEP LADDER TO RICHES.
"a System OF Scientific Handspring
OF the Horses.

If any one wants to know, says the
SUMS Sunday edition, how to make a
million a minute, or less, by betting on
the horse races, he ought to consult a
concern which styles itself Raymond &
Co., and whose offices are on the fifth
floor of the Bennett Building, at 80
Nassau street. If he doesn't know Just
how to do after calling there it won't
be the fault of Mr.. Raymond. All you
have to do is to turn over 800 or more
to RAYMOND and he does the rest.
Once he has your money all you have
to do is to draw dividends from the
profits of Raymond's betting. The
dividends will, of course, depend on the
success of Raymond's "scientific system
OF handicapping," but under that "sys-
tenn" you simply can't lose in the long
run. Just stick to Raymond and you'll
wear diamonds. He's got the greatest
thing in the way of get-rich-quick,
lam F. Miller's Franklin Syndicate,
whose business was rudely interrupted
by the Brooklyn police, whereupon
Miller was sent to State prison.
Just who the firm of Raymond &
Co. Is does not appear. The senior
member is said to be very nice man,
less than 40, with wavy blond hair and
wavy blond mustache. He can be
found at his office, according to the
sign on the door, between the hours of
A. M. and noon. After that, it is
said, he goes to the races.
"Purely scientific handicapping" is
what reputable racing associations have
been looking for ever since there was
racing. If Mr.. Raymond has become
a purely scientific handicapped, he is
simply wasting his time on especial
selections" and Speculative plan No.
l" and the like. He can get more
money than ever he saw in his morning
mail from investors by Offering his
services to racing associations TO do the
official handicapping. He could have
the job for the asking and make
enough in one year to enable him to
retire.

That Celebrated Order.

The general supposition would be
that an important order pertaining to
naval or military or other operations of
the government would be written by,
as we'll as emanate from, the head of a
department. The celebrated order to
Dewey, on the declaration of war
against Spain, had been generally cred
tied to Secretary Long as the head of
the naval department. Who else should
formulate, as well as promulgate, an
order to capture or destroy the Span
ish ships"2
Who wrote Grants famous "uncon-
ditionsl surrender" ultimatum and the
accompanying notice to Gen. Buckner
that acknowledgement to move on
his works immediately"2 Who formu-
lated the celebrated orders that were
issued to the army of the Potamac
during its last-and the only successful
campaign against Lee and Richmond?

Independence as we'll nigh hopeless.
The new Herreshof boat beat the
