GALLANT STRUGGLE OF THE BOERS.

The sympathies of people themselves free nat urally go out to another people who are trying to shake of the yoke of the oppressor, who struggle against the efforts of strange people to put gyves upsn their wrists. This take it, is the reason that the sympathes of nine enths of the great pan people" of the United States with the Boers in the heroic struggle which they are still making to free themselves frona.tbe British yoke."
 We dc not think that the Boers arc thoroughly grounded in the governmental principles which we call democratic. The system of government that they have enjoyed may be termed rather sort Of paternal ogarchy But it seems to have been adapt cd to their needs and therefore if it suited them it is not for us to condemn it.

SHUTTING UP THE EAST WIND.

LABOR MATTERS DISCUSSED.
and Employees Meet at
Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Sept. 24.-At today's ses-
sion of the national convention of En-
ployers and Employees. Prof. McEvy of
the University of Minnesota discussed
the economic effects of an eight-hour
day. Other speakers were Prof. Clark
and w. d. Winan of Moline, III.
Winan spoke on the question of the
responsibility in labor contracts from
the standpoint of the manufacturer. Il
do not desire to suggest any definite
solution of this labor problem" he said
When both sides come to see the de
STABILITY of mutually of remedy as
well as mutually of agreement in all
contracts by which n party agrees to
furnish employment to the other at a
stipulated wage, and to pay him reg
ularly for it, and the other party
uertakes to render services for a definite
period of time, the innate sense of fair
ness of the American people will devise
and demand some plan by which one
contracting party will be equally bound
with the other. | am convinced that
labor will never possess the dignity that
rightfully belongs to it until it assumes
the responsibility it demands of its m
ployers."

ROUMAMlANS DON'T LIKE NOTE
An Energetic Protest is Urged-Ber-
lin Paper Says Matter Cannot
be Disposed of Thus.

Berlin, Sept. 24.-The Vossiche lei
tung today prints the following from
Bucharest: The official Independence
Roumara, after asserting that the new
law contains no provision not already in
the existing trade law, calls on the
RGumanian press 10 make energetic
protest against foreign interference in
a Roumanian trade law controversy"
Referring to the above the Vossiche
Zeitung remarks: The matter cannot
be- disposed Of so simply. Every other
state can justly object to a foreign
state mixing in its affairs; but Rou-
mania cannot, since its independence
was made, by the Berlin treaty, depend
ent on q series OF conditions, like no
discrimination between religions in de-
terminating the political and social and
trade rights of citizens. Can Rouman-
ian officials seriously assert, in view of
the provision, that nc foreign state
has the right TO trouble itself about
Roumanian internal affairs? The only
question the. could be raised is wheth-
the United States, being a non-signa-
tory, has a formal right to mix in the
affairs of the Roumanian Jews? But
Secretary Hays note was not addressed
to Roumania, but to the signatories of
the Berlin treaty, in order to call the
latter's attention to evils which arise
for the United States from conditions
incompatible with the Berlin treaty.
Let the Roumanian statesmen leave
he powers to protest against Hays
note, provided these want to deny the
United States right to call attention to
paragraph "A Of the treaty. We regard
it as highly probable that the s!gn.tcr-
les VIII exchange views in order to
reach common action. That this ac-
ton will not consist in a simple rejec-
ton Of the American note cannot be
doubted, in view of the obligations
which the powers undertook in the
treaty. The most recently published
regulations for the administration of
the trade law show hat Roumania still
persists in treating the Jews as foreign
ers and not as citizens. For this rea-
son Roumanian officials will not sue
coed in making an impression with the
assertion that the law only contains
provisions existing in other laws
The Berliler Tageblatt rejects the as
sumption that nothing will come of
Secretary Hays protest. This paper
believes that the United States will
continue to push the matter energetic
ally.
Among the hostile criticisms of the
American note is the Neuste Nachrich-
ten, which says: "Roumania should
either remain silent or send a protest to
the United States against lynch law and
the treatment of the Filipinos, lest the
negroes and Fllipinos all emigrate to
Roumanla.'

PANAMA AND COLOMBIA SAFE.

Panama, Sept. 23.-Government SOL
iers who were captured by Gen.
Herrera at Aqua Dulce and
were compelled to join his

ing, arrived here today. They confirm
the report that the whole revolution
airy army has abandoned it's camp near
Chorrera and is retreating towards
Aqua Dulce. 1t is reported that Herrara
has incorporated in hish army all que
rilla bandits he can induce to join him.
The abandonmenta of the Chorrera
camp. it is claimed, dispels all fear of
the interruption of traffic on the rail-
road and renders it impossible for a
battle to occur at Panama or Colon.
Reinforcements of Colombian troops
continue to arrive on the isthmus.
which, it is alleged, undoubtedly caused
