The Democratic Mule.

ihe bsnipcTAtlc luie.
Eighteen Democratic members of
Che General Assembly held a con-
ference yesterday in this city, and
the newspaper reports added naive.
ly that willard Salisbury also was
present" OF course, no Republi-
can in this city, save one knows
what transpired at that conference.
The one exception is the self-sutfi-
clent chairman of the so-called Re-
publican State Committee Tele-
phonic communication between him
and Chairman salisbury who ALSO
was present" is so close and conf
dental that he no doubt knows all
that happened yesterday, if any
thing happened.
What was agreed upon without
lperadventure was to offer united
Democratic support to the 'Regu-
, lar" Republicansin the organization
of the two houses at Dover. That
us the pending Democratic scheme.
Here is the Delaware Greek offer.
Ing to lead the Democratic mule in
w tne nepuDllcan Troy, pe3llnS all
SORTS of Christmas gifts.
We stop long enough to warn the
Republican members, regardless of
tactio11el idiosyncrasies, against
this offer. The Republicans can
sst together to organize the two
houses, therefore they must get to-
gether. Whoever stands in the
way Of party organization is trai-
Tor to the party and will be nailed
10 the cross as such.

Appeal to NethodiSt4.

Methodist bishops have issued
an appeal to MethOdists i'll all parts
of the world to iuaugurate spir-
itual advance beginning Sunday,
December 28th, and continuing Ger
tainly throughout the three sue
ceeding days, ending with a watch
night service on the last day Of the
current year This month ends the
time set apart for the Twentieth
Century undertaking. The SO, F.
900, 600 fund has been raised, and
American Methodism was never f.
nancially as well anchored It, at
this time. Indeed, Mctholism has
barely held its own i'll numbers.
Now the time for special prayers,
recommended by the bishops is to
be in behalf of the side Of the
Twentieth Century undertaking
that has failed. The bishops re-
commend that these four days at
the end Of the OIL year he followed
in the new year by revival services.
The address is coucurred i'll by
bishops Of the Methodist Church
South. and from ropurtS going back
to them thus far. they beilrNe the

TERSENESS III W prdlng OF ads is
a practice to be cultivated Short
sentences convey Il thought and
impress themselves more quickly
upon the mind than long ones.
Long sentences containing many
useless advcrjs and adiectives often
succeed in hiding what is most do
sired to be brought out. Short,
brief tersa sentences are the trip
hammers Of the English language,
from under which no one who can
read at all can escape.

to the bargain. If he wanted a vote
he had to reside in the country four
teen years and then he might make
application. which had to be signed
by three-fourths of the inhabitants of
his district and receive the assent of
the raad. Even then he was not ad-
mitted to frst-class citizen privileges.
Other grievances too numerous to
mention were ranking the uitlander
bosom.
In 1895 the jameson raid" occurred
"a foolish undertaking to help the
Johannesburg uitlanders in their
struggle. The uitlanders did not rise;
Jameson and his handful of follow
ers were captured by the Beers and
after much parley released.
The Free State had been established
as republic by Great Britain much
against the will of its burghers, who
had even sought and obtained COM
pensation for the withdrawal of the
protecting power of the British They
were not threatened in any way. Even
their alliance with the TransvaaI
should not have led them into the ag-
gressive. The truth is that the old
standing quarrel between Briton and
Boer was bound to be settled by the
arbitrament of the sword The atmos-
phere had to be cleared. The Beers
felt that and were determined. as
President Kruger himself said in 1887,
Ito take their place among the great
nations of the world"
After long parley. the Beers still re-
fusing British terms for the uitlanders
and President Kruger and his burgh-
ers showing every sign of impatience.
President Steyn of the Free State
called out his burghers in arms. Brit
ish re-enforcements kept pouring into
the country and the British army re-
serves were called out.
On Oct. 9. 1899, the Transvaal sent
the British government an ultimatum
for the withdrawal of the British
troops from the borders of the repub-
lie and the withdrawal of the re-en-
forcements. Within forty-eight hours
after this message. the British answer
not suiting the burghers, the Boer
troops invaded British territory and

The Beers rode to war on Oct. 12
1t was estimated by themselves that
between the two republics. the for
eigners and the Cape Colony rebels
there were $4,000 burghers in the field.
The British had chosen to defend Ma
tai and its coal mines from sentimen-
tai reasons. They found out the folly
of their undertaking. Talana hill was
the first battle between the enemies.
The British went at the hill in frontal
charge and took 1t with considerable
loss. The Beers were again defeated
at Elandslaagte, but with increasing
numbers they won strategic victory,
