the reflection that "the race is not

Notwithstanding an almost
universal sentiment and ex-

THE BOER CONFLICT.
Editor The Conservative:

Editor The Conservative
Though subject somewhat stale
by reason Of it's age and continued
discussion, the conflict between Eng
land and the Beers is still matter If
concern and interest to the general
public, and must so continue while
the result remains undetermined.
The liberties of free people are at
stake, and no one who loves either
freedom or justice can be an indiffer-
ent spectator to the conflict now
being waged in the Transvaal, be-
tween slavery and freedom, avarice
and independence.
There are, of course, two sides to
this, as to every other question, for
neither party to the conflict is with
out fault, but in the main the South
African republics are in the right and
the contention Of Britain indefensible
OH any ground whatsoever.
The territory now sought to be
subiugated has never been a part of
British possession, and it's citizens
owe to her no manner of allegiance
They have an undoubted right to such
Heaven bestowed gifts as liberty and
independence, and no nation may
encroach upon these without taking
upon herself the character of aggres-
sor, and the Office of despoiler. The
wealth of the African mines might
we'll attract the enterprise and incite
the cupidity of the British citizen,
and induce his coming to share in the
fruits of their development, but it
could not transport the British con-
stitution across the seas, nor convey
to her all allegiance which belonged
at home. "Big fish eating little ones"
may do in the sea but not on land.
But vital and dangerous as are
impending issues to the republic, they
are still more so to Britain herself.
She is contending at long range, and
at desperate disadvantage, against q
willy, experienced, brave and deter
mined foe. The cost to her in money
and men is more than any nation is
able long to Withstand without ex-
haustion and ruin. 1t matters little
that the African republic is inferior
in numbers and resources. The

but agree with the unanimous find
ing Of the three admirals who COM
posed the court Of inquiry as to the
loop. 1t seriously marred the
Brooklyn's otherwise excellent record,
being, in fact, the one grave mistake
made by any American ship that day.
Had the Brooklyn turned to the west
ward that is, in the same direction
that the Spanish ships were going, in
stead of in the contrary direction,
she would undoubtedly have been in
more dangerous proximity" to them.
But it would have been more danger
Gus for them as we'll as for her. This
kind of danger must not be too nicely
weighed by those whose trade it is to
dare greatly for the honor of the flag.
Moreover, the danger was certainly
not as great as that which, in the
selfsame moment, menaced Vain
wright's fragile craft as he drove for
ward against the foe. 1t was not in
my Judgment as great as the danger
to which the Texas was exposed by
the turn as actually made. It GER
tainly caused both the Brooklyn and
Texas materially to lose position COM
pared to the fleeing Spanish vessels.
But after the loop had once been
taken, Admiral Schley handled the
Brooklyn manfully and we'll. She
and the Oregon were thenceforth the
headmost of the American vessels,
though the Iowa certainly and SEEM
ingly the Texas also did as much in
hammering to standstill the Wis.,
caya, Oquendo and Teresa, while the
Indiana did all her eastward position
aud crippled machinery permitted.
In the chase of the Colon the Brook
lyn and Oregon share the credit be-
tween them.
"Under such circumstances it
seems to me that the recommenda-
tions of President Mckinley were
eminently proper and that SO far as
Admirals Sampson and Schley were
concerned it would have been unjust
for him to have made other recon-
mendations. Personally feel that in
view of Captain Clark's long voyage
in the Oregon and the condition in
which he brought her to the scene of
service, as we'll as the way in which
he actually managed her before and
during the fight, it would have been
we'll to have given him the same ad
vancement that was given Vain
wright But waving this, it is evi.
dent that Wainwright was entitled
to receive more than any of the other
commanders, and that it was just tc
Admiral Sampson that he should re.
ceive a greater advance in numbers
than Admiral Sch1ev

FOB COUNTY OFFICES.

This will be lively year polit-
icslly in this county, as there will
be large number Of Offices to fill.
For Congress it is understood that
Hon. A. l.. Fritz will ask for the
conferrees Of this county. There
may be others, but we have heard
OF none positively. A State Sena-
tor is also to be chosen, and rumor
is ahoat that Hon. w. T. Greasy
may be in line for that office, though
If he wants to go back to the lower
house Of the Legislature there is
but little doubt that this would be
accorded him.
For Member OF Assembly Hon.
Fred Ikeler will ask for a second
term, according to custom, and
it is possible that there may be
other aspirants for this Office.
For Register and Recorder J. c.
Rutter, Jr. is not likely to have
any opposition, as it is a long es.
eablished custom to give two terms
In this Office.
For Prothonotary there will prob
ably be three candidates. all we'll
known men. John X. Miller, the
present County Superintendent ol
Schools. r. Rush Zarr, Esq, who
has been Deputy Prothonotary for
the past six years, and c. M. Ter
williger, the former clerk Of the
County Commissioners.
A. B. Croop is the only one who
has declared his intention to run
for the Office Of County Treasurer,
and it looks as though he will have
no opposition. He made big run
when candidate before.
1t is believed that William Kricx
baum is contemplating a candidacy
for Associate Judge.
For County Commissioner Will
lam II. Fisher will be candidate
for reelection. He has made a
faithful and competent official,
though he has had many obstacles
to contend with at times. He de.
serves reelection and he ought to
receive it. William Bogart, of
Espy, now one Of the County Audi
tors, is also talked of. He is a
good business man and would fill
the place very acceptably. There
will probably be others.
The contest for District Attorney
will be between c. A. Small, Of
Catawissa, {. X. Weiss and II. X.
Stees, of Bloomsbury.

The Chicago Platform.

The much repudiated silver plank
of the Chicago platform by Wall
street democratic millionaires has
been assigned as the cause OF
Bryan's defeat, both in the Cam
paigns OF 1896 and 1900.
Now since the defeat Of Perry
Belmont for Congress in one of the
Wall street Democratic strongholds
and who is a pronounced single
standard gold monometalist; and as
the Bclmonts could neither endorse
the Chicago platform nor support
Bryan, we must conclude that there
is something more Objectionable to
the American voters than the Chi
cago platform.
II would be interesting to know
how the Belmont aud Bryan votes
compare in the Belmont Congress
sional district; or which was most
repudiated, Organism or Belmont
ism. 1t can scarcely be claimed
that dissensions and factional fights
were the cause Of the Belmont

Former Presisenfs wise~ will Not rrsss
the Matter.

Mrs. Benjamin Harrison. in
whose interest the matter Of S5,-
900 pension has been agitated at
Washington on the ground that she
is the widow of an ex-President,
has notified her friends that she
does not care TO have the matter
PRESSED, and no further effort will
be made in that direction. When
the subject of pension was first
suggested, she said she would &C
cept it as a tribute OF respect to her
husband, but she would not make
any personal effort to obtain it, for
she was not in need, and there was
no probability that she ever would
be.
Later, when reports were cifcu-
lated that Russell Harrison was op-
posing the pension, Mrs. Harrison
notified her friends at Washington
that they might use their own
judgment in pressing the matter
upon Congress. The denial Of
Russell Harrison was accepted as
true, and that, it is said caused
her interest in the matter to flag.
Since then she has heard that there
would be opposition to such a PEN
sion in the House and perhaps in
the Senate, and this caused her to
request her friends to cease their
efforts.

HOW TO KILL MONOPOLY.
Remove Special Privileges and Trusts Can
not Long Exist.

The effort Of the protectionists to
show that the tariff does not breed
or aid trusts because there are trusts
in free trade England has been dis
proved by the showing made that
nearly all the combinations to con
troll any particular industry in that
country have been unsuccessful
there and have either retired from
the field or are practically bankrupt.
The reason for this is evident
when it is considered that the mark
cts of England are open to the man.
ufactuers Of the whole world, and a
trust or monopoly cannot long exist
where competition is free or unless
it has some privilege or advantage
that gives it opportunity to become
monopoly. 1t may be that the
laws have allowed the trust to be-
come the owners of all the raw
material or all the mines from
which the monopoly gets its supply,
as in the case of the anthracite coal
trust, which is not protected by the
tariff, nor does it need to be, for it
has no foreign competition to dis
pute the home market with it,
there being practically no other de-
posit of that kind of coal than what
is controlled by the trust. This
trust is protected by law in another
way. 1t owns or controls all the
transportation, through the fran
chises granted by the state to the
railroads, and dictates the rates, so
that no rival can compete with it.
With the steel trust it is different.
Everything that it produces is pro-
tected by the tariff at so high a rate
that il excludes all foreign products.
1t also owns the greater part of the
mines from which the ore that can
be the most economically mined
and smelted is produced. 1t also
owns or controls the transportation
OF the great lakes, through its side
partner, the ship trust. and has al
ready commenced to add to this by
buying up the ocean freight carriers.
So that, in addition to the monopoly
which the tariff gives it in the
United States and which it knows
will be removed when the people
thoroughly understand the ques-
ton, the trust is preparing TO hold
a monopoly Of raw material and Of
transportation for it and for its sur.
plus production which must be sold
beyond seas.
If other trusts or monopolies are
investigated, it will be found that
protection by law, either in the
form of tariff, franchises or the CON
troll of raw mateyial, is what allows
1t to be monopoly. Remove the
special privilege, and the trust can
not long exist; competition will
soon make it find its level. That
is the reason trusts are not finding
congenial soil in free trade England
and are rampant in protected Ger
many.-Ee.
