CONDITIONS OF SURRENDER.

The governments leader, A. J. Bal.
four, announced to an immense crowd
in the House of Commons London, at
2 90 this afternoon, the following
terms of peace in South Africa:
The burgher forces lay down thei
arms and hand over all rifles. guns
and amunitions of war in their pos
session or under their control.
All prisoners are to be brought back
as soon as possible to South Africa
without loss of liberty or property
No action to be taken against prison
ers except where they are guilty of
breaches of the rules of war.
Dutch is to be taught in the schools,
if desired by the parents, and used in
the courts if necessary.
Rifles are allowed for protection.
Military occupation is to be with
drawn so soon as possible and self
government substituted.
There is to be no tax on the Trans
vaal to pay the cost of the war
The sum of three million pounds
sterling (5l5, 900, OOO) is to be provided
for restocking the Boer farms.
Rebels are liable to trial, according
to the law of the colony to which they
belong The rank and file will be
disfranchised for life. The death
penalty will not be inflicted
These terms seem indeed to be gen.
erous and one can hardly wonder that
the Beers accepted them. 1t is one
of the instances when it would seem
wiser to yield than to continue the
old Paul Kruger utters his bitter re-
gretful cry, my God 1t is impos-
sible" as he realizes this is actually
the end of all that has been fought
for; that the sacrifice of human life,
the brave battling for freedom, have
been of no avail
The struggle just closed has been
marked by courage, heroism and sac
rifice on both sides and it is useless
now to discuss the justice or injus-
tice of the demands that led to an APP
peal to arms History may present
things III a light far different from
that in which the events now appear
but i'll the present generation the
causes of the war need now be no
longer considered.
From a military standpoint it has
not been great war, nor has it been
marked by any great decisive battles
that will be chronicled in history as
directly concerned i'll turning the tide,
or instrumental in deciding the final
result, but it has shown that deeds of
daring and sacrifice belong to no one
class Of men alone. The war is now
closed on terms that reveal the con-
querors in a light that reflects only
credit at the present time and the con-
tract entered into at Pretoria will un-
doubtedly be kept to the letter by
both parties. The task undertak en-
by the British will prove alike diff
cult, and one requiring the most deli
cate diplomacy. Much will depend
upon the agents of the government
while loyalty to their sworn allie
glance on the part of those governed,
who are promised in due time that
they themselves shall become the
government, is necessary to future
progress and amicable relations.
The future of the colonies lies in
the hands of both and according to
their action may we forecast hopefully
or not in regard to later develop
ments.

The man ON the stage who does the
trick of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him TO a tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly of mankind is to passively submit
to the fastening OF these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear.

IN ADDISON COUNTY.
Caucuses Swinging Into Mccullough
Column Smooth As Oil. How
"Percy" and the "Heir'
Are Bearing Grief.
Correspondence of the Journal }

Middlebury, June 4.-Here in Adj
olson county, "the open door" of Yer
mont, the local option willie the wisp
is doing no end of phantasamogoric
stunts and making convulsive attempts
to stem the Mccullough tide of senti-
ment while the cohorts of the House
of Proctor cry aloud in their anguish
for that which cometh not their way.
1t is practically all over in Addison
county and those who are up in the
ethics of the game of who's who in
Vermont" tell the writer that unless
a plague should devastate this section
of the State, sparing only those who
do not adhere to the Rev. George
Washington Morrow water cure, -
General Mccullough will distance
the field. The writer, during his
travels throughout the county, finds
that all this is true and that notwith-
standing the local option literature
and the reproductions of "our own
Percy" (born in Vermont) done in
celluloid which are finding such
wide (0 circulation, it is only a ques-
ton of how heavy burden McCul-
Tough has laid upon his opponents
Those with gambling instinct say
that he has put it all over" Proc
tor and that it is up to the Hon. p W.
Clement to quietly back pedal aft
yes, way back and sit down.
The writer learns today upon excel
lent authority, that Percy has been
caught several times recently hum
ming to himself the refrain:
Somewhere the sun is shining,
Somewhere the song birds dwell
| will cease my repining
know they will give me -
While the scion of the house of
Proctor tries to look cheerful as he
whistles:
'They re after me- -
He of boiled shirt, clawhammer
coat and private car fame and he who
is the Lord of Proctor have put up a
good fight but the man behind the
ballot box will swiftly and surely
count them down and out in Addison
county during the coming two weeks
Already one sees the blanched faces
of strong men as preparations are be-
ing made officially to put in motion
the deadly caucus machinery.
All joking aside, Addison county
will swing into the Mccullough col
umn as smoothly as oil.

The decision of the Senate commit

next session, is a great disappoint-
ment to the friends of the bill, which
Senator Penrose said that not only
was the measure endorsed in advance
by the national platform but he be-
lieved its passage would meet the APP
prevail of eastern business men.
" Eastern capital is constantly seek
ing opportunities for investment
where the security is good and the
rate of interest reasonably profitable,
said the Senator. Past experience
has demonstrated that there are no
better opportunities for investment
than in the newly created States
Under State laws the security is bet
ter and the rapid advancement which
follows admission to statehood results
in large demand for capital For
that reason the passage of the bill,
whenever it comes, will meet with

Frank stockton and Poetry.

Frank Stockton never could write a
successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told good sto-
ry on himself. In his youth In con-
junction with his brother John he
wrote many poems with which he af-
ficted the editors of various Canadian
periodicals. The effusions always
came back. The editor of one maya
zine was an especial target of the
Stocktons, but as none of their poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the. conclusion that the editor had
no conception of good poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted up
and dispatched to him an ode, little
known, by. Milton. Within two days
they received cfSck and a letter Of
thanks. Il came to the conclusion that
that editor knew poetry when he saw
it after ALL" Mr.. Stockton used to say,
'tand gave up trying to write t."-Phil.

SECONDHAND STORES.
Modern Houses vastly D1Aeren4
From the Old Time Junkshops.

MOde1n HOUAes Vast1y D13eRen1
From the Old Time Junkshops.
One Of the curious aspects Of mod
ern business conditions !, said philo-
sophie business man, lis the growth OF
what we call the second hand business.
There are more secondhand houses
now than ever before, and attribute.
it to the changes in style which are
constantly taking place in all things
which enter into the social life. When
one speaks of secondhand store,
there are many persons who will think
simply OF secondhand furniture, bu-
reaus, Wardrobes, tables, beds and
things of that, sort But the business
has become so sextensiye that one may
find almost anything in either the use
full or the ornamental line in these
places.
am not speaking of the curio
shops either, where you can find any
thing from an antiquated penny to the.
rarest and most elaborate thing in an
artistic way, old pictures and new
ones, old books, old anything you may
call for have in mind the, regular
secondhand houses which do a COM
plete and Up to date secondhand bust
ness. Go into one of these places and
see for yourself the changes which
have been wrought in the business.
Time was when one of these places
was a junkshop merely. a sort of old
furniture hospital or almshouse, a
place for chairs with broken arms and
tables with broken legs and beds with
SCARED heads and old clocks with
broken faces and missing hands and
all that sort of thing. But the conu-
tons are different now. You see, peo-
pie want to keep up with the process
sion. Styles are always changing. "A
new kind of furniture comes in. The
furniture on hand is good as new, but
one must have the new thing, this new,
magnificent kind Of s1deboard or this
new colored bedroom suit or this latest
thing in something else. The old stuff
Is sold and the new kind bought.
'oThis is one reason, and the main rea-
son, for the growth of the secondhand
business. OF course the change has
not affected merely furniture and
household goods. 1t has applied to all
the utilities and all the ornaments, and
hence a vast variety of things may be
found in the secondhand store"-New
Orleans T1mes-Democrat
