BRITAIN AND TRANSVAAL.


The announcement Of the British
budget a few days ago by the Chancel.
Tor Of the Exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, has started anew the
discussion Of the South African sltua-
ton. lie stated that the expenditures
for the year had exceeded the receipts
by more than $26O,OOOOOO. and that
there was no prospect Of relief in the
shape Of lightened taxation. on the
contrary additions to the burdens had
to be made. Two pence to the pound
was proposed as an addition to the in.
come tax, An import duty on sugar was
proposed Of a halfpenny a pound. and
d new departure was proposed In the
form OF an imposition Of one shilling a
ton on exported coal-a feature which
Is believed to be OF special interest to
American dealers IN that necessary
article. since the export duty will
handicap British exporters, and enable
others to compete with them in the
continental market
In addition 10 these burdens. It was
proposed to empower the government
10 borrow another $500, 900. 900. thus
drawing stll further on the taxpayers
for interest on that much more national
debt And all on account Of the mill
tary operations in Africa and China.
Naturally the South African field Is
scanned for any signs Of an early ces-
sation OF hosulltles. Lord Kitchener
is evidently doing his best to become
master OF the situation. The mounted
army now operating under him is said
to be the largest ever placed in the field
by any nation. According TO the ac-
counts, the regular cavalry comprise
some 1900 men, and the Colonials
about $1,000. There are 1000 or 5000
regular mounted Infantrymen, and the
imperial yeomanry will eventually reach
total Of over 10000. The artillery
comprises over 1900 men, and has more
than 800 l2-pounder and l5-pounder
guns. Some twenty ammunition col.
umns are appointed to various columns
and are composed Of men drawn from
various sources. including the army

In a blue book recently Issued Sir
Alfred Miner reports the situation In

into small parties and started guer-

costly scale In the month Of March
alone the British lost 673 officers and
men IN Killed and wounded. and $500
were sent home invaded.
The present cost OF the war. he con-
unues Is enormous. An army of 100000
men is being maintained In the field,
and the gaps made by invalid drafts

thousands OF reconcentrados have to be

Sir Edward Malet In his Reminis-
cences writes OF Lincoln, whom he
knew in Washington, In these terms:
"of all the great men have known, he
Is the one who has left on me the I'M
preston Of sterling son Of God" That
has come TO be the view Of posterity
but It is not the view that was always
taken ofhim by his contemporaries. They
appreciated him, but 1t was an 9spreei-
alton of him modified by his peculiar
characteristics. And yet after all 1t was
these characteristics that made him SO
human, that gave him such a fellow
feeling with mankind. 1t Is Lincoln $
universal humanness that has always
drawn men to him.

Mrs. Nation has at least succeeded In
stirring up the ministers OF Kansas
City so that they are now preaching
against the Sunday saloon. When she
was last in Kansas City she was fined
five hundred dollars and ordered not to
return Her only offence was the denun-
citation of saloons, large crowd gath
ering to hear her The justice who i'm
posed this excessive fine was engaged In
intlmidating the lady and nothing else.
Her crusading ways cannot be com
mended. but they are quite as COM
mendable as the extra judicial ways Of
the Kansas City justice who ordered
her never to return to that city.

manded the government tax upon them

were simply orders for merchandise
payable only at the store or other es-
iabushment that issued them. This
was fully explained at the time Ten
per cent levied upon that kind OF paper
was in the nature of a deaih'plow'
which II proved TO be In several IN
stances. At Brigham city, where an
extensive and beneficial cooperative
system was in operation, consisting OF a
large number Of industries under Pres

The case was appealed through the
courts until Il reached the Supreme
Court OF the United States, where the
levy was pronounced unlawful, as the
paper thus taxed was not money and

plain on the whole, psychologists are
apt to assign too remote dates to their
finds. The theory Of evolution and the
conclusions OF biologists favor very
high antiquity. On the other hand
sacred chronology is by no means an
exact science. There are difficulties to
solve, and gaps in the various epoohs
to mi out. In all probability, when the
various sciences are brought to that
state Of perfection that guesswork and
hypothesis can be eliminated ana facts
take their place there win be perfect
harmony between them, 1t is certain
that the inspired writings Of both the
Old and the New world are being Won
