report that the government intended
to sell farms belonging to burghers Re-
garding some farms sold In the Orange
River Colony under the proclamation
of Aug. z, 1901, Mr.. Chamberlain prom
ised that the farms bought by the
government would be retransferred to
their former owners.
Gen. Botha criticised the compost
tion of the commission appointed to
allot the grant of S15,000,000 (for the
purpose of assisting burghers and their
families to return to their homes and
for restocking their farms, etc.),- and
objected to national scouts serving as
commissioners, but Mr.. Chamberlain
maintained that the government must
be true to those who supported 1t.
Relative to the transfer to Natal OF
part of the Transvaal, Gen. Botha said
the burghers proposed to trek there
from. He lived there, but he saw no
chance of remaining, the feeling OF the
British in Natal being so strongly anti
Boer. On the subject Of martial law,
Mr. Chamberlain said 1t would not De
continued much longer
The colonial secretary refused TO
recognize as burghers foreigners who
had been naturalized during or just be-
fore the war, saying they had peen
bribed by the resolution of the volks-
raad giving them burghers' rights as q
reward for taking part in conflict In
which they were not concerned.
Gen. Botha concluded with an appeal
for the widows and orphans, and said
he considered an appropriation Of $15,-
100000 was inadequate.
Uses United States as Illustration.
Replying to this, Mr.. Chamberlain
compared great Britain's treatment of
the Beers with the treatment of the
South bv fha North after the Civil war
in America.
II would remind the general" said
Mr.. Chamberlain, "that we have under
taken already more obligations than
have ever before been undertaken un-
der similar circumstances. To take
one case in my time, l recollect very
well the great Civil war In America,
and I appeal to that because that
stands out as a case in which more
than ever before, or, indeed, ever since,
the victor, the conqueror, showed
magnanimous and generous feeling to
the conquered. There was good reason
for this, because they were brothers
of the same race, the same religion, the
same everything. 1t was Civil war,
but even in that case the Northern
side, that is to say, the victorious side,
adopted no provision whatever, either
by grant, pension or by allowance to
the people who
"They gave them their lives and
their liberties" said he, "and after
period of ten years gave them votes,
but did not give them any money
compensation. But we have gone
step beyond that, because we have
contributed, in addition to all our own
enormous expenses, very large sum
to relieve those who are really desti-
tute in our new colonies. We have done
more than, l think, was expected, and
we have done all that we can afford
to do and I think it would be unde-
sirable for the generals to press us any
further in this matter, either now or
in writing"
Mr.. Chamberlain reciprocated the de-
sire expressed by Gen. Botha that they
should all live in peace in future in
South Africa.

A GREAT LIFE.

Even to most enlightened Americans,
Prof. Rudolf Virchow, who passed
away during the past week, was known
chiefly through his advanced political
opinions which found publication on
this side of the ocean from time to
time through the medium of the At
lantic cable. His death, however, has
revealed him to their view as one of
the most extraordinary men produced
in any country or in any age of the
worlds history. He was not alone a
publicist, but he was a scientist of
the most wonderful attainments. He
was not only liberal and democratic to
the verge of radicalism in his views of
public affairs, but he conceived him.
self, at all hazard of fortune and posi-
tion, bound to urge on his fellow men
the justice and wisdom of his political
views.
Prof. Virchow was alone among the
great scientific men of his time, and,
perhaps, of all time, in his active par
ticipation in the affairs of political life.
The convictions which made him
German revolutionist in 184S and 1849,
he adhered to till his death, and no fear
Of royal disapproyal or hope Of royal
favor ever caused him to hesitate in
their expression when he thought the
occasion offered opportunity to serve
his kind. Driven from the University
- - III
views his return to that institution
was one of triumph, and found him still
as outspoken and as radical as ever.
In every line of scientific investiga-
ton and discovery this wonderful man
occupied at his death a leading place
among the greatest minds Of his time.
No subject of human interest escaped
his industry and research. He wrote
voluminously on subjects as widely
separated as public hygiene, criminal
law and political science. He was lead
ing Psychologist, profound archaeol-
ogist, and during his life it was said of
him that "if we should expunge all that
medicine as a science directly and in
directly owes to him, comparatively lit
tie would be left" Royalty had long
decided to cloak, If no more, its dislike
of Prof. Virchow, and the celebration
of his SEVENTEEN and eightieth birth
days were occasions of national rejoic-
ing and Of even international interest.
Few such instances will be found in
history, of genius devoting itself. abso-
lutely without fear and with unfagging
industry, to the benefit of the race,
and achieving so much in SO many diff
ferent directions in the brief period of
single lifetime as is furnished in the
life of this eminent German free
thinker.

sr.LouIs CORRUPTION.

The exposures of bribery and corrup-
ton which were made in Minneapolis
some time ago were generally regarded
as the result of electing as mayor a
man without any real sense Of moral
responsibility in the selection of his
subordinate officials. With such a man
as DR.. Ames at the head of the city
government, the real wonder Is that the
corruption was not shown to be even
far more widespread and degrading.
The case is different in st. Louis.
The revelations in that city indicate
deep-seated and prolonged carnival of
municipal robbery. 1t was no mere
sporadic affair. The politics of st.
Louis have been distinguished by filthy
methods and filthy men for years-so
as to have necessitated, in one case at
least, the open and unsparing denun-
citation by a leading local minister from
his pulpit, of the leading recognized
politician of the city.
st. Louis presents the same situa-
tion as that which has so long prevail

lican politicians and officehoIders in
control have been thoroughly debauch-
ed; but they have been able to secure
the support of majority Of the vot-
ers, doubtless by the same methods
that they secured majorities for their
street railway franchises and other
robber transactions in the council. In
this pursuit both in Philadelphia and
st. Louis, individual Democratic politi-
clans and officeholders have been found
ready to betray at once the public
and the party at the instigation of their
political opponents.
Thoughtful citizens may dismiss the
state of things shown to have existed
in Minneapolis, as mere passing con-
troll of the city government by the
slum elements of society. No such
consolation is available in considering
the situation in either of the larger
cities. Official corruption appears as
a settled condition in st. Louis, as it
is universally recognized as being in
Philadelphia. An oath-bound organi-

THE GOVERNMENT REPORT
Condition of Corn Is 84.3, Against s6.5
a Month Aso-GeneraI Average Con-
dition of Combined Spring and Win
ter Wheat 80, Loss of 2.8 Points.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. 10. -
The monthly report of the statistician
Of the department of agriculture shows
the average condition Of corn on Sept.
l to have been 84.3, as compared with
S6.5 on Aug. 1, 1902; 51.7 on Sept. /.
1901; S0.6 at the corresponding date in
1900, and ten-year average Of 1873.
Except in Kansas and South Dakota,
which report a decline Of IL points and
10 points, respectively. during August,
no material change of condition Is re-
ported from any of the principal corn
states, and except those of the South
and Michigan they again report condi-
ton averages in excess of their re-
spective averages for the last ten
years. Notwithstanding it's marked de-
cline during August, Kansas reports a
condition of 81, or 25 points above it's
ten-year average, while Nebraska and
Missouri exceed their respective ten
year averages by 35 and % points, re-
spectively; Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and
Iowa, by 16, IL, ii and 10 points, re-
spectively, and Pennsylvania, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, by 6, and 3 points,
respectively. The crop, however, Is so
late that throughout the northern por-
ton OF the belt predictions Of more
than an average crop are invariably
made contingent upon the immediate
advent and continuance for some days
of the most favorable conditions of

Condition of Wheat.
The average condition at harvest of
winter and spring wheat combined was
so, against S2.S last year; 69.6 in 1900,
and ten-year average Of 1873.
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois
report Is, IS, Is and 21 points, and
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska
and Missouri 20, "a, 25 and "a points,
respectively, above their ten-year av-
erages. The condition in Minnesota
differs only 1 point from the states
ten-year average, while Pennsylvania
and California report points below
the ten-year average; Iowa IL points
below, and Kansas with a condition of
40. % points below the ten-year av-
erage Of the state. The average condi-
ton of oats when harvested was 81 2,
against 72.1 last year; S2.9 in 1900,
and ten-year average Of 1917. While
correspondents report the harvesting
OF an exceptionally large crop Of oats,
there are indications that the crop will
be very deficient in point of quality.
OF the ten states having 1000 900
acres or upward in oats, Iowa alone re-
ports a condition comparing unfavor-
ably with the ten-year average; Min
nesota reports 95, it's highest since
1895, and IL points above It's ten-year
average; Nebraska, SO, it's highest
since 1897, and 20 points above It's ten
year average.

APPOINT THE ELECTION JUDGES.

If the two branches of the city coun-
Gil should not agree within some rea-
sonable time on the selection of judges
and other election officials, 1t may be-
come necessary for one or more Of the
existing candidates for Office to apply
to the courts to compel them to dis
charge that duty. There Is no intelli-
gent reason why they should not agree,
and there is really no intelligent ex-
cuse for their failure.
The honest execution Of the election
is not involved in the manner Of select
ing the judges, nor In their personality
or politics. There is really no ques-
ton involved in the present contro-
versy except one of how a certain
measure of political patronage shall
be dispensed, and by whom. The al
derman of given ward should not
have more control over the selection
than the assemblyman chosen from the
section of the city which includes that
particular ward. The plan of handing
over the appointments absolutely to
the city organizations Of the three
leading political parties, giving the
council no power save a purely minis
terial one in the matter, which was in
operation some time ago, is the true
one. 1t leaves little chance for favor

WYOMING PEOPLE WANT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10.-The

petition from large number of peo-
pie In Lander and vicinity, in Fremont

largest fire in the history of the gen
era! land office occurred on this tract,
and Is still raging.

the question. II the tract Is reserved

HAD TO FIGHT FOR It
Endorsement of Roosevelt
For Second Term by Ala
bama Republicans.
(By the Associated Press.)

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 1.-THE Re-
publicans of Alabama today nominated
the following ticket:
GOVERNOR. A. w. Smith, of Birming-
ham.
Lieutenant Governor-Charles P. Lane.
of Huntsville.
Attorney General-W. H. Armbrocht.
of Mobile.
Secretary of State--J. H. Carter, of
Cullman.
Auditor-T. B. McNair, of Marshall
county.
Treasurer-H. Lee Brown, of Conuef
county.
Superintendent of Education-J. c.
Fonville, of Crenshaw county.
Commissioner of Agricultural. B.
Morton, of Fayette.
j. A. W. Smith, the nominee for Gov
ernor, is a son of the late Hon. V. H.
Smith, who was Republican Governor of
Alabama during the reconstruction period
and is a prominent lawyer of this city.
The platform as adopted reaffirms the
Philadelphia platform; favors the or
ganiZation flabor for it's legitimate
protection and the enactment of laws for
the peaceable and fair settlement by ar
bitration of disagreements as they may
jarise between organized capital and Ia
Dor; favors child labor legislation relating
to work in cotton mills; condemns "the
spirit which seeks to arouse prejudice
of the people against the railroads" and
advocates the enactment of laws so reg
ulating the railroads as to adequately
protect the interests of the people, but
is opposed to any drastic measures.
The platform then endorses the wis
dom of the Dingley Tariff law" and
urges continuance of that policy. Re-
publican legislation to build an inter-
oceanic canal is approved. The bravery
and heroism of our soldiers and sailors
in the Philippines are applauded. and
the attacks of the Democratic party on
them are condemned. The platform then
expresses confidence in the admnistra-
tion of President Roosevelt, and says:
I'VE exercise our faith in his thorough
ly American and patriotic ideas, and we
believe that his leadership establishes
confidence both in the success of the Re-
publican principles and the continued
prosperity and progress of the country.
and we therefore favor his denomination
to the great office he fills with patriotism
and ability"

of District Attorney for North Alabama.
