WHAT DEsPERADoEs COULD DO

Many lessons have been drawn from
the late war In South Africa, but the
one that must be considered most
startling is that which Is set forth by
two Boer scouts, in little volume Is
sued by them.
They hold. in brief, that Ave hundred
desperate men, armed with rifles using
the same ammunition as the govern
ment, placed in Colorado. with two ma
chine guns. and led by men knowing
such warfare and country, could cause
the mobilization OF the American army,
form the inhabitants into posses terror

dollars damage in life and railroad
property, and finally. II necessary. es-
cape over one of the borders without
capture, to return when those slower
moving states, with their more limited
resources. pressed them
That is, apparently, exactly what the
Beers did in Africa. and what they
might have been doing yet, had they not
been offered reasonable terms Of peace,
and that is according to the Boer Views
quoted. what could be done In the
United States just as well al In Africa.
Happily there is no need OF fear that
the experiment win ever he put 20 a
test But Il can do no harm to consider
the possibilities. II this is true, II is
perfectly clear that military tyranny
would be unavaillng in this country. II
could not be held together by the forces
that are relied upon In Russia, for in
stance. The strength OF this country
must ever depend on that unity which
il founded In the perfect liberty Of the
various sections and the individuals.
Where 800 determined men can perform
the exploits described by the Boer
scouts, despotism is practically power
less. for there would always be many
times that number ready 10 rally for
the defense OF American institutions,
were they at any time seriously threat
ened
The statement by the Beers directs
the thought to the exploits OF the fellow
Tracy. who now for days has eluded
pursuit and caused intense excitement
over large part OF the northwest
Suppose there were 600 just such men
banded together. No doubt they could
cause countless millions worth Of dam
age to property, and sacrifice many
lives, rendering military operations
against them necessary.

ANOTHER PHILANTBRoPIsT.

AFR. Abraham Simmer, an Iowa mill
lionalre. Is one OF the latest to join the
ranks of prominent American philan-
throplsts He Is said TO be one OF the
wealthiest men In his state, and he has
now concluded to devote his means
to the cause OF the needy and uhfor-
tunate. AS a starter he has given
large sum to help founding a hospital
In Chicago, and another sum to the
Sisters Of Mercy, to be used for the
benefit OF aged people.
Mr. SINNERS views on the proper
disposition OF wealth are sound, and he
states them with considerable force. He

Fremdenblatt, an official organ, Is
quoted as follows
I'VE have had occasion twice In the
last year to tell all persons interested

The theory that the murderer Tracy

he Is insane. Here is case where a
poor excuse Is worse than none at all.
