LOYALTY OF BoERs.

The South African adyices indicate
that the Beers have accepted the sit
uatlon there IN good faith, and that
they, II properly treated, viii become
among the most loyal citizens OF Great
Britain. The people place implicit con-
ldence in their leaders and these urge
loyalty toward the new government
General Dewet, IN his speech TO the
Beers at Winberg. recommended them
to be loyal. and reasoned from the
strongest possible motive for loyalty.
He said:
Perhaps Il Is hard for you to hear
this from my mouth, but God has de-
cided thus. | fought until there was
no more hope OF UNFOLDING our cause.
and however II may be, the time has
now come TO lay down our arms. As

To God-fearlng people there can

"Now there Is peace, and although

most unknown IN history. Let Us now
grasp each others hands. for another
great struggle lies before MS for the
spiritual aud social prosperity and well
fare Of our people.
Casting aside all feeling OF bitter

WHY BIRTHS ARE LESS.

Attention has often been called to the
decrease OF the birth rate In France.
but closer investigation OF the subject
leads to the conclusion that this condl-
tIon Is not peculiar to France NJ.
Neymaroh In paper recently read be-
fore the society Of statistics in Paris.
stated that in Germany the birth rate
had decreased per cent in the 20 years
preceding 1895. and in England per-
cent during the same period. lie con-
cludes that the more civilization is de-
yeloped and the more a country pro-
crosses, the more births have a ten
dency TO decrease.
NJ. Neymarch, as quoted in Public
Opinion, finds 4 number OF economic
causes which influence natallty.
Among these are:
"The expense Of living or to be more
exact, the increase In needs. The de-
sire for greater comfort for ones own
aud Tor ones self. One considers the
expenses Of the family with reference
to the revenue or the capital possessed,
what II win cost to raise several child
rem. pay for their instruction. educa-
tlon, maintenance, etc, and what Il
Will cost later to establish them. The
lowering Of the revenues obtained from
capital. A person who formerly could
live happily and at ease on a capital OF
$4,000 producing a revenue OF from
$1,000 to 81 100 per year that Is, to 81
per cent, has today with the same cap
ltal only a revenue Of $3.50 TO 5000.
whereas his taxes, HIS charges, and his
needs have increased The increase In
taxation. Femlnlsm. or the accession
OF the woman TO the work and occupa-
ton formerly reserved to the man"
These and similar causes have left IN
France an entirely childless population
numbering nearly 100000 souls. and
consisting OF women who think less Of
maternity than OF their occupations;
bachelors. widows, widowers, and d.
yorced persons.
The subject is one OF immense i'm
portance TO all civilized nations, II IS
well that the causes OF the declining
birth rate are studied for the right
remedy cannot be found until the caus-
es are known.

The anthracite coal strike is an awful

moral injury. because both sides are
participants In a semi-ciyil war. They
never acquire morality out OF such a
contest. because both parties resort to
tricks and devices to lnjure each other
which are barbarous. and 1t necessarily
renders the contending parties more de.
moralized than when they commenced
