way at Chester S. c., was found dead at
the residence of his brother. William II.
Brawley, United States district judge,

Brawley in the library. He was apparent
ly in the best of health, and when one Of
his relatives entered the room ii was
thought he had become unconscious. A
physician was quickly summoned, and he
stated that the man had been dead for
two hours. rheumatism of the heart was
assigned as the canse. Mr.. Brawley was
fifty-five years of age. and was a Confed-
erate veteran.

President Mckinley is bound to let the
common people know that he still consid-
ers himself one of them. He is not
bit ashamed to tie his head up and go to
bed with the grip, just like thousand
dollar clerk in the Patent Office. 1t is
in these little democratic ways of his
that the President so neatly keeps his
hold upon the affection OF the masses.

We are not surprised that the propcsl-

the circumstances it strikes us that a
suggestion so utterly cool naturally
would be met with some degree ct
frigidity. Germany does not yet seem to

Two Rides for a Nickel.

In Berlin the experiment of street car fares
for a price equivalent to quarter OF an Amer
lean dime is now under way. Our thrifty German
friends will rejoice over the reduction in rates.
IL is not unlikely that before many years have
passed the local corporations in New York. Chi
cago. Philadelphia Boston, and other American
cities will be giving two rides for cents at
moderate distances. The number OF miles OF
travel for a nickel has been increased 50 much
that still further concessions from the com
panies may reasonably be looked for in the near
future.

The Invasion of Cape Colony

The startling news that the Boer army
of invasion is almost within striking dis
lance Of Cape Town, and that a junction
of General De Wet with this force is per-
haps probable, presents the South African
situation in new and serious light. 1t
is conceded in England that the appear
ance of respectable column OF burghers
close to the Cape. followed by even the
smallest success over the British would
inevitably lead to an immediate rebellion
of the Cape Dutch, and complicate mat ers
dangerously for the British Government.
The public of the United Kingdom is yet
largely in ignorance of the true condi-
tions. The Government is working des-
perately to conceal the facts, and IS re-
sorting to SUFFERING to cover its move
ments. For example, I has been deter
mined to send heavy re-enforcemerts to
Lord Kitchener; not that he urgently
needs them, the authorities explain, but
that the moral effect of overwhelming
military force on the ground will assist
in the suppression of discomfort and show
the Beers still in the field the hopeless
ness of continuing the struggle
The British people are still putting
some faith in such statements. because
they wish to believe them. but there will
be An end to that rope in the course of
time. Indeed. we may fancy that the
time has already come. When Boer
armies can pour down from the Orange
River and traverse a thousand miles Of
British territory in Cape Colony, threat
ening the coast cities, so that Cape Town
itself has to be put in state of defence
and it's residents turned into soldiers. we
may conclude that things are in a pretty
bad way.
The British answer to all this would be
that Lord Kitchener is encouraging the
Beers to get as far away as possible from
their base of supplies and near the coast
In order to take them suddenly in the rear
and bag them. But they do not need a
base of supplies, since they use his; and
they are advancing not into hostile coun-
try, but into friendly region whose in
habitants are all but ready to Join in
fighting the common race foe. It is rather
sanguinary outlook for Great Britain.

A Complaint.

Cattlemen in the surrounding region complain bitterly about the new town regulation by which their stock straying into town are impounded and their owners put to big bills of expense for their re- lease. They say the cattle are driven into town by the careless ness of owners of town cattle, who when they go out to drive in their own cattle are not careful to sep crate the strange cattle they find with them. Another point is that the ordinance was intended to pro- tect that part of the town which is settled. There are large areas of land within the limits of the town site as surveyed which are not at all injured by the presence of cattle thereupon. It is stated that boys gather up cattle in those and drive them into the pound for the sake of the fees they are paid by the pound master. This is an abuse which should not be tolerated a moment. The whole matter needs revision and the town authorities should take it up and devise some way by which the ordinance can be en- forced without hardship to outside residents with cattle on the range.

The New Fire Plugs.


 Work upon the new hydrants for the water supply of Nogales, ordered by the town board, is progressing rapidly at the foundry and shops of the Arizona & Sonora Manufacturing Co.,, and the first lot will shortly be ready for delivery. The hydrants are to be of a supe- rior pattern and quality, all the stuflng box guides, screws with cross heads, valve caps, and hose connecting nipples, to be made of brass, which will not rust or cor rode, making the fire plugs prac- tcally imperishable, and at the same time much more readily open ed when needed in time of fire, than would be hydrants with these fittings of iron, which would surely  rust and become fast. The hy- drants will stand two feet above the pavements, and from the pave ment to the outlet in each the dis tance will be eighteen inches. The price at which they are contracted -S27.5o for single outlets and $29.5o for double-is two dollars cheaper than they could be brought from the east, and the major part of their cost goes to labor, which puts it right into circulation among our own people.
