The .Mother of sufrrage" Dead.

Mrs. Esther Morris, known as the
mother of woman's suffrage in Wyo-
ming, died in Cheyenne Wednesday.
The adoption of the equal suffrage
eudment in Wyoming was largely
due to her efforts, and she was the first
woman justice of the peace. In that
capacity she once sent her husband to
iail on a charge of drunkenness.

Little Progress In Peace Negotiations BE
tween British and Beers.


tween British and Beers.
Owing to the great distance separat-
ing the members of the Transvaal mis-
sion at Kroonstad from Mr.. Steyn, the
former president of the Orange Free
State, and General Delarey, the nego-
tiations between the Boer leaders in
South Africa looking to the conclusion
of the war, make little progress. 1t is
expected, however, that Mr.. Schalk-
burger and his colleagues on the mis-
sion will shortly leave here for more
convenient center from which to con-
duct the negotiations.
A meeting of the johannesburg
cham ber of mines, the first since the
beginning of the war, has been held
The president of the chamber said in
IN address that it was greatly due tc
General Botha that much wanton de-
struction had been avoided, as he had
held the commandapt Of the town per-

of any property which might occur
| The president also said it was highly
| probable that by next July half the
mining industry would be in operation
and that before many months full
working would be resumed.

Beers Net Asking for Peace.

London. Jan. 25.-The Daily News

at The Hague, whom it claims to
have been very accurate, the follow
ing dispatch taken from privute ad-
vices:
News from South Africa has
reached military circles here that the
power CT the Beers over Capa Colony
is increasing daily, that the rebellion
is constantly spreading and that the
colonists are joining the Beers in
steadily increasing numbers. The
executions of Commandant Lotter
and Commandant scbeepers have
had the result of deciding the loyal
lists to ioir the Beers, whose position
is persistently reported to be more
favorable than ever"
The same private advices assert
that the British suffered dozen de-
feats from September to November,
1901, of which no mention is made
in Lord Kitchner's reports.

Hog Meat High

Edge6eld Adve tiser.
O1e of our exchanges remarked q
few weeks since that hog meat was
so high that it made one almost wish
that he wss Jew. And corn is go
high that we wish We did not enjoy
corn dodger. It is great pity that
cotton is not good to eat, but il it
were people would quit growing the
staple and produce something that
they could not eat. It seems that
farmers would rather raise cotton at
6 and Z cents and pay IL cents for
bacon, 81 a bushel for corn and 81
and SIS per barrel for -four, than to
raise such at home. The cry of
"hard times" will be heard so long
as farming is conducted in this un-
business manner. Farmer friend,
raise your supplies at home, and
grow cotton as your money crop and
then you will change your tune from
hard times" to ''home, sweet home"

40 Years in Rsce;vers' Hands.

It is noteworthy that among the
railroads sold under foreclosure pro-
ceedings in 1901 was one-the Blue
Ridge-which had been in the hands
of receivers for over forty years. The
Railway Age recalls that it was com
menced in 1855, was intended to run
from Anderson Court House, in north
western South Carolina, across cor
ner of Georgia, and through North
Carolina to Knoxville, Tenn, dis
tance of only about 130 miles by air
line, but considerably more over the
difficult mountain route that was in
vol7ed. Its construction would have
completed a direct line from Charles
ton TO the west, and hence that city
and the State of South Carolina took
the chief financial burden of its con-
struction, subscribing for S2,lOO,OOO
of the stock. Thirty-four miles Of
track were completed in 1859 from
Anderson to Walballs, and at that
point the road has ever since termi-
mated, with the walls of the Blue
Ridge mountains discouraging fur
ther progress. Some tunneling and
rock work was done beyond, but in
1861 all work was suspended, after
about 100000 had been spent, for
lack of the 100000 more needed
to complete it. In the consultations
and combinations of subsequent
years the Blue Ridge railroad was
left alone and has long heen operated
under q receiver.

They Are Ours Now.

All the preliminary steps for the
purchase and sale of the Danish
West Indies have been taken and it
now remains only for the Senate Of
the United States to ratify the agree
ment and the payment of about S.
100000 by this government to that
of Denmark when these sea kissed
island and their inky colored inhabi-
tants will become the property Of
Uncle Sam. It is significant fact
that in this sale the wishes of the
people of those islands we're not con-
suited in the matter at all by either
government, but were put upon the
block and sold as so many slaves.
Yet we believe that it is the proud
boast of American civilization that,
by the grace of the Republican party,
the shackles of slavery have been
burst asunder and the hidious insti-
tuition abolished from our shores.
But this recent barter in human souls
overshadows the "proud boast" and
unmasks the claim of the Republi-
can party to be founded only upon
hvpocracy and deceit.

move it to tears and laughter, to
thrill it with emotion, to make it
hang breathlessly upon the lips Of
the speaker, and then, as one man,
to rise in wild acclaim, is given TO
but few men. This marvellous mas
terry over the human heart was ex-

beyond all question his wonderful
power as an orator Those who
heard him as he drew a rapid pic.

were thrilled by his touching and
beautiful tribute to the self sacri-
