MINES SHOULD SHARE COST?
Must Help Britain to Pay for the War
Against the Beers.

Commenting on Sir Michael Hicks
Beach's pessimistic statements in pre-
senting the budget in the house Of
| commons, the London Chronicle says:
'The only hopeful statement in hts
speech was that the end of the war
might come sooner than other mem
bers expected, and he himself in a
hypothesis put it at a distance of three
or four months. AS to the possibility
of making South Africa bear some of
the enormous financial burden which
we have incurred on its behalf he
practically gave UP the prospect in de-
spair. The Orange Colony, he said,
could pay us nothing, the Transvaal
could pay nothing apart from the
mines, and the mines, even when they
began working again, would show a
deficit for at least two years after the
end of the war.
eve do not deny that it is serious,
but as we have to face the situation 1t
is no good making it out blacker than
it really is. AS Sir Alfred Miner
says, the events of the last six or
seven months will involve a longer
period Of recuperation, especially for
agriculture, than anyone could have
anticipated when the war began.
Still, he goes on, the economic con-
sequences Of the war, though grave,
do not appear by any means appalling.
The loss of crops and stock is the
most serious matter, and either by
gift or loan the loss will have to be
made good Lefore any revival of farm
life becomes possible. We certainly
cannot look for a revenue from farm
ers for very long time to come.
But Sir Alfred says that both Rand
and Kimberly are unchanged, and
when the mines are once set going
again it will not take long to get them
into working order. That is, there
fore, a point on which both of the
chief speakers last night were unduly
hopeless. Whatever Mr.. J. B. Robin
son may say, the country must see to
it that the mines bear large share If
the wars burden. Within the 10I
years before the outbreak of the war
the value of the production Oh the
Rand alone had risen from nearly |
s5,000,0O0 in 1888 to sSO,O00,000 in
1898, and even in the disturbed nine
months of 1899, before the war actual
" began, the output was 100000 900
We take the figures from carefully
written article in this months
Quarterly Review on the settlement Of
South Africa
IF Sir Alfred Miner is right in
asserting that the mines could be re
opened with very little delay, are we
to suppose that this immense income
is to escape scot free? In the two

Doing Good Work.

A dispatch from Jackson, Miss,
says: ''The state agricultural and
mechanical college is now enjoying
the most prosperous year in its
history. More that 500 students have
attended this session, the largest
number since the college was organic
ed. The students are doing good
work in all the departments, and per-
feet order prevails among them.
The horticultural, agricultural, me-
chanical and dairy departments were
never so successful and prosperous as
this year. The board of trustees
during the year has added another
dormitory for The students, also built
a splendid system OF waterworks and
an asterian well 1000 feet deep, there
by providing an abundant supply of
water and insuring good health for
the boys. The textile building is
nearing completion and will be in
practical operation by commencement
in June next. The legislature Of 1900
appropriated $40, 700 for the establish
ment Of this splendid feature of our
college, and this sum has been greatly
augmented by the generosity of north
ern and eastern manufacturers. A
sum aggregating $4,000 has been
given and the end is not yet, as the
donations continue to flow in. The
building proper is model Of beauty

HOW JACKSON GOT HIS IL. D.
Mckinley Not the First President to
Meet Opposition at Harvard.

mSSl T1dFvaFC.
William Mckinley is not the first
president to be struck by a squall at
the mention of an honorary degree
from Harvard university. Andrew
Jackson preceded him in this expert
ence by about IS years, and the OPP
position to comforting academic hon
ors upon "the hero of New Orleans"
reads curiously like those now urged
against Mr.. Mckinley. However, Gen
eral Jackson got his degree June &c,
names of no more presidents of the
United States were entered in the
Harvard catalogue until Ulysses S.
Grant was made an IL D. in 1872.
In President Jackson's case the cir
cumstances were somewhat peculiar.
With one exception, Harvard had SINH
larly hOnOred every preceding presi-
dent, so that the degree of LII. ID. had
come to be regarded as customary
and habitual courtesy to be extended
to every president of the United
States who complimented the college
with a visit. The one exception was
James Madison, who, after the en-
barge and war of 1912, could find a
variety of summer resorts more com
Portable and congenial than Massa-
chusetts.
Jackson himself would scarcely
have been persona grata to the Yam
KEGS but for one fortunate and timely
exhibition of his hickory quality of
backbone. To the joyous admiration
Of the north, he had just given South
Carolina nullifiers a smart lesson in
the federalist doctrine concerning the
constitution and he was swinging
around the circle of the Middle and
New England states, enjoying the
popular adulation so dear to his re-
publican-democratic heart and so un-
precedenteo in the north
While on mis- way to Boston, Presi-
dent Jackson was assaulted by a
cashiered naval lieutenant at Annapo-
lis, and at New York he barely es-
capped going down with a broken
bridge and Secretary Cass' wig, so
that his triumphal progress did not
lack for exciting advertisement.
Moreover, his degree was awarded
'out of course Harvard commence
ment was held the last Wednesday of
August at that period, and Jackson
reached Boston early in June. But
no sooner had he arrived at the Hub
than the Harvard authorities invited
him to the college, and the corporation
and board of overseers held special
meetings and voted him what they es-
teemed the usual and obligatory de-
nounced as irregular and Illegal, and
the degree was described as worthless
and Of no effect-Boston Herald.
