 As he dreams at his desk, half dozing. Tbe woodpeckers dance their rigadoon Up the side of q new-leaved oak, And the blueiay gaudily dressed buffoon-- With his harsh laugh screams his joke. Oh The school terms closing days are
 slow,
 And the lessons a boy is saying Mean naught to him. He can only know. While imprisoned there and depressed with
 woe, That waiting for him in the brooklet's flow The slim speckled trout are a-playing. You'll neer keep boys wild thoughts, l
 trow,
 Within the bounds of a book, While under the bank where the alders
 grow
 There's a place for his line and hook. Oh! What is so long as a day in June, When the schools last term Is ending, When the great Summer choir Is all in tune From the birds high notes to the Insects
 croon, While the boy yearns all through the after To follow his thoughts far vending?

ALI OR NOTHING.

The irreconcilables are putting in their best licks. ''Iniquity," "infamy "
 'aristocracy," ''oligarchy," are some of the winged words they are letting loose in their strenuous efforts to nullify the work of the Constitutional Convention which they were so eager to have call- ed. They seem to think they know what they are about, and perhaps they do, but it would be painful indeed if after having defeated their Convention they should find the people of the State unwilling to give them another to play with. They reject with scorn and con- tumely the bird in the hand, and act as if there would surely be more birds for them whenever they might choose to go hunting. They probably call the feel ing that animates them "the coura ge of their convictions" but some of the ir reverent are coarsely describing it as gall" The whole or none is their mo- ble and comprehensive motto, and how damaged their feelings would be if they should get none.

Great Britain in the war with the Boers because they had been led to believe that British subjects in the Dutch re- publics were denied the rights to which they were netitled under free govern ment. Another significant fact was the cooperation with the Boers of many 'Afrikanders" whose names indicated that they were of British descent. They made common cause with the Dutch be- cause they thought Great Britain was denying the Boers the right to govern the republics in accordance with their theories of self-g government. It is not necessary to consider now the question which was right-the Canadians and Australians who supported Great Brit ain or the colonials of British descent | who fought with the Boers. It is plain, | however, that the colonials who aided | Great Britain thought they were fight l ing for more liberal treatment of Brit ish subjects in the Boer republics, whatever may have been the actual purpose of the imperial government They were not fighting, it is certain, for crown government for Englishmen in South Africa.
 The British Government will be con- fronted with serious difficulties in the reconstruction of South Africa. If, in order to keep the Boers down, 1t must also deprive English colonists of self government, it may antagonize an ele- ment without whose support South Africa will not remain a British posses sion. The fact that there are many 'loyalists' of English descent in the Orange River and Transvaal colonies may therefore assure elf-government to the Boers at much earlier period than was expected, for Englishmen in the colonies are as determined to have representative institutions as the men of Dutch descent. It is interesting to learn from communications printed in London newspapers that English colon ists in South Africa are not ardent ad- vocates of the enfranchisement of the natives. Some of them, indeed, are as bitterly opposed as the Boers to confer- ring the right to vote upon the blacks. The native problem in South Africa is serious one. In Cape Colony Natal, the Transvaal and Orange River colon- ies there are about 3000000 blacks and less than 900OO0 whites. Some of the negroes in Cape Colony and Natal are allowed to vote, subject to property and educational qualifications but the great mass of them are disfranchised In the past both the Boers and the British have waged bloody was with the blacks. It is not inconcelvable, in the opinion of those familiar with conditions in South Africa, that there will be race conflicts in the future Sun.

ENGLIsHMEN FOR SELFlGOVERN-
 MENT.


 A correspondent of the London Stand ard who has lived for years in the Brit | ish colonies in South Africa asserts in most positive terms that King Edwards 5 subjects of British descent in the Or ange River and Transvaal colonies will not submit to an indefinite period of military administration or crown col
 ony" government. That is not only an interesting point, but one of vital im- portance. The Standards correspondent assumes that Englishmen in the Orange River and Transvaal colonies will nec- essarily have the same form of govern ment as the Boers during the recon- struction period. That period, in his opinion, must be brief, for reasons which he states with great frankness
 In the British colonies, according to this plain spoken Englishman, men of British descent demand self government of the fullest and freest kind They will not tolerate interference from London, but insist upon managing their affairs in their own way. This spirit of inde- pendence has been manifested in the most aggressive manner in Australia. The colonsts do not desire to break away altogether from imperial author- ity. They are willing to maintain and even strengthen the bond of union with the "nother country" as long as their interests are identified with those of Great Britain. But the London authori- ties must not impose restrictions upon the colonies in matters of purely local concern. Englishmen accustomed to representative institutions and self government will not be satisfied with any abridgement of their rights and privileges. Perhaps patriotic British subjects in the former Boer republics might submit cheerfully to military ad- ministration or crown colony" govern ment until order is restored and the Boers have adjusted themselves to the new conditions. As soon as this is &C., complished, however there must be a restoration of self-government, other wise colonials of British descent will make trouble for the imperial authori- ties.
 This seems to be a sensible view. The point which the Standards correspond ent emhasizes may, indeed, have vital bearing upon the reconstruction policy of the British Government in South Africa. It is a significant fact that the colonies which responded most prompt 1 ly and generously to the mother coun- | try's" appeal for assistance were those ] which enjoy the largest measure of self | For all practical purposes and Canada are independent | of the British crown.

SOME X 4 NS.4S POLITICS.

An interesting illustration of the predicament in which the fusion forces in Kansas find themselves this year is presented in the situation in Smith county. There the Democratic and Populist county conventions met the other day and nominated the same ticket half being Populist and the other half Democratic. In the Populist con- vention delegate demanded to know the name which the ticket would bear on the official ballot He was assured by the politicians who had engineered the deal that it would be called the Peoples party ticket. By a curious coincidence a delegate in the Demo- cratic convention made the same de- mand at almost the same moment. He was assured by the politicians that the ticket would be called Democratic, and then both conventions adjourned, The explanation given by a local paper is that the politicians who fixed up the fusion deal wanted to keep the ques- ton of name in the background for the time being, as row would surely
