tory, Says Consul Stowe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-In report to
the state department dated July 13, Con-
and General Stowe, at Cape Town, con-
tends that. all published statements to the
contrary, in 1900 the United States ex-
ported greater amount of goods to
South Africa than ever before The sta
tistics of 1900, he says, cannot be de-
pended upon, as there is an entire alb
sence of figures from Delagoa bay
British trade, says the consul general,
is enviouS of the vast strides made dur
ing the last four years in the exports of
manufactures and products from the
United States to British colonies and de-
tendencies. If the permission of the
Portuguese government can be obtained
a railway will be built from Delagoa
bay to Johannesburg, which would cheap
en- the carriage of goods to the latter
point over so per cent. Delagoa bay, says
Mr.. Stowe, in a short time, will be
port of great value to the Transvaal, and
Johannesburg probably will reach popu-
Iation of 100000
The consul general quotes Lord Roberts
in regard to the superiority of American
wagons, which the field marshal says are
superior to any other of either Cape or
English manufacture.
AS to the future, Mr.. Stowe says that
$50, 100000 is the estimate of cost for con-
templated railways, S. 100000 for public
works, $15.000,0OO on harbors, 100000 in
electric lines in Natal and $4,000. coo to be
expended in the Transvaal and a pro-
portionate amount in the Orange river
colony.
I'VE must not fail to bid for this
work" says Mr.. Stowe.

Filipino GuerrilIas Get Short shrift

FROM COurtS-MSrtiaI.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The outrages
committed by armed guerrillas and
bandits against innocent Filipinos con.
t1nue to be vigorously dealt with by the
authorities in the Philippines. The
records in about twenty cases were re-
celved at the war department today
They show that the death penalty was
nnleted upon thirteen muIderers by mill
taTy commissions and that five offenders
were sentenced to hard labor of from
nIteen to thirty years. In the case Of
S1mpltcio Geromilla, who was sentenced
to be hanged by a military commission
OF which Lieut.. Col Swigert was presi-
dent, for acting as a leader of an armed
band of insurgents and firing upon and
killing two American soldiers, although
at the time living under the protection of
the military authority, as an amigo. Gen
ChaIee d1sapproved the sentence and
ordered the prisoner liberated. SAYS Gen.
Chaffee in his indorsement -
The finding cannot logically DE sus-
tanned. The killing of the deceased SOL
olers IN an engagement with a regular
detachment of the public enemy is not
murder, out natural consequence in
c1dental to a state of war 1t is not
contended that the accused himself did
the Killing and, as three American SOL
oilers fell in battle, only he shot on the
theory that he was one of a band COM
bined together for the commission of
murder, which theory does not meet the
facts proved. The accused is doubtless
guilty, and could have been convicted of
being a war traitor, in that while living
within the lines of United States occupa-
! ton, he aided and abetted the enemy. but
for this offense he was not tried, and the
reviewing authority may not substitute
one finding for another"

"THoU SHALT NOT STEAL

No prosperity and no glory can save
nation that is rotten at heart. We must
ever keep the core of our national being
sound, and see to it that not only our
citizens in private life, but. above ALL
our statesmen In public life, practice the
ola commonplace virtues which from
time fmmemorial have lain at the root
of all true national well-being.''
These are strong, healthy words. They
were spoken by Vice President Roosevelt
in his address at the opening of the
state fair. They are words, too, which
carry a deep and abiding significance to
the American people. There can be no
enduring corruption in the public life of
the American people as long as the Amer
lean people themselves remain honest
and fair-dealing in their business and
social relations. Water seeks it's level
The level of official morality is that of
the morality of the people themselves
If the people are clean, so will be their
public officials.
Many unjust assaults are daily made
en- the characters of public men, and
more especially on those of men holding
official station. There is a class of news
papers which would convey the idea that
congress is a mart of corruption; that
congressman are no better than Chicago
aldermen in their readiness to prostitute
their official positions. Yet the truth is
that the congress of the United States
is composed of men in nearly all cases
who have won honor and distinction in
their several localities and who repre-
sent high type of public usefulness and
worth.
There has been wondrous advance eff
fected in twenty-five years in the matter

to accept it,
she asked. 1T is the house of God but
