SOUTH AFRICAN WAR ENDED.

The Boer war is a matter of his
tory. 1t has ended as every one
whose mind was not warped by
prejudice. must have foreseen it
would end-in the submission of the
Beers to the authority of Great
Britain. For two years and eight
months the Beers put up a stubborn
and valiant fight, but the final out
come was never in doubt. The truth
is, the two South African republics
fatally miscalculated their own
strength, and underes timated the
strength and resourcefulness of the
foe. 1t were far better for the
Beers if they had surrendered two
years ago, when the backbone of
their military organization was
broken by the defeat and surrender
of Cronje, and the capture of Bloem-
fontein. Ever since that period
they were slowly but surely being
forced to the wall. South Africa
will be more prosperous under the
enlightened rule of Britain. The
Beers will ere long realize that they
can live under the flag of Great
Britain as.peaeefully and more Sc
curely than under the regime that
has ended. with the war. The terms
granted by the victors are very lib
eral to the vanquished. Money will
be supplied the Beers to rebuild
their homes; the leaders will not be
prosecuted; the exiles will be brought
back to their own country, even the
rebels of Cape Colony are not to be
punished with the extreme penalty.
In this latest, most destructive and
costly war in which Britain has en-
gagged for over half a century, not
single victim will be sacrificed
after the close of hostilities for
treason. An idea prevails that the
animosities engendered by the strife,
which have existed for generations,
will initiate against the continuance
of peaceful relations between the two
races. We do not coincide with this
view. Dominated by the more pro-
gressive and numerous race, the
probability of a renewal of the
struggle for supremacy is remote
indeed. The war has settled that
matter, and settled it forever.

GOVERNOR GAGE has publicly an

GOVERNOR GAGE has publicly an
nounced his intention to prosecute
the publishers of the Call, both
criminally and civilly, for libel.
That journal has charged him with
being implicated in alleged frauds at
San Quentin. The alleged wrong
doing at the state prison is strain
ed effort at best. 1t seems like max
ing a mountain of a molehill. 1t is
very doubtful whether anything in
the shape of fraud can be made out
of transactions referred to. But be
that as it may the Call, to crafty
its prejudices against Gage, has
charged the governor with COM
plicity in crookedness. The fair
name of California is smirched, and
held up to public scorn. The gov
ernor has lost no time in announcing
that he will prosecute his defamers.
1t is noticeable that since this de-
termination was made known, the
Call has dropped the state prison
scandal business. 1t has not hailed
the prospect of the ventilation of the
alleged misdoings in the courts with
satisfaction, as journal conscious
of the solid basis of its accusations
would be apt to do, but on the con-
trary, it is dumb. The sole object
of the Call is to kill off Gage as a
candidate for denomination. 1t is
not at all unlikely, however, that it
has overshot the mark, and instead
of injuring his chances, the reckless
charges will have the opposite effect.
The dictation of millionaire news
paper owners will not be tolerated

SCHOOL CENSUS RETURNS.
Table Showing the Number of Children
in the Various Districts for 1901
and 1902.

The returns of the census marshals
for the respective school districts for
1902, as finally approved by the
school superintendent, are published
below, also for comparison the mum Der
of children reported in each district for
the preceding year. The first column
shows the number OF census children
entitled to draw school money. The
second column shows the total number
OF children under II years OF age. Oh
school children there is falling off OF
so, and of all ages under II decrease
of 105. In Jackson there is falling of
of IL census children, and 18 including
those under school age. Suffer Creek
presents falling record also, showing
a loss of 13 school children, and a total

Amador ledger., 1902-06-06
THE SCHOOL CENSUS.

In another column we publish the
school census returns for the cur
rent year in all the school districts
of the county, also the returns for
1901 for the purpose of comparison.
1t will be noticed that there is a
net loss of 80 census children as
compared with last year and clear
loss of 105 children including those
under the age of five years. The
decrease is distributed pretty even
ly through all the townships in
the county. 1t is a somewhat start
ling showing. A loss of over 100
children under II years of age means
decline of population of fully 400
in the county. This represents a
decrease of four per cent. In other
words we have lost on an average
one out of every % persons we had
in Amador county year ago 1t
will also be noticeable that the per-
centage of loss in the juvenile popu-
lation under the school age-or un-
der 5 years-is much heavier than
in children between and II years.
This anomaly may to some extent be
accounted for from the fact that the
marshals in the respective districts
would naturally make a greater
effort to get census children enrolled,
as decline in that respect would
mean a loss of school revenue for
the district. On the other hand, a
decline in the number of children
under 5 years, would not result in
any loss of income. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that this same
argument holds good in reference to
the census of previous years. There
is no reason to believe that the
county has suffered more from this
cause this year than it has in other
years. The same cause would be
likely to produce the same effect.
Assuming that the census returns
for 1902 are as approximately cor
rect as they were for the preceding
year., the conclusion is inevitable
that the birth rate is decreasing,
and that too at an alarming rate.
The mere fact that the census re-
turns shows decline of So children
under . years of age, and so between
5 and IL years, speaks for itself.
1t simply signifies that the number
of children of school age cannot be
reinforced from the ranks of those
under five years. If the number is
to be maintained, the Juvenile popu-
lation necessary to that end must
come from without, and not from
within the county. The school cen
sus ought to be the most accurate
of any official returns of a statistical
character. The marshals are resi-.
dents of the respective districts, an6
are usually well acquainted therein
As a rule the districts are small,
and almost every family is person,
ally known to the marshal. Under
such conditions, the returns ought
to be almost absolutely correct
And it is these considerations that
make the decline, and the anomal-
GUS features we have referred to-
specially significant.

Spring Fever.

Spring fever is another name for
biliousness. 1t is more serious than
most people think. A torpid liver and
inactive bowels mean a poisoned sys-
tenn. If neglected, serious illness may
follow such symptoms. DeWitt's
Little Early Risers remove all danger
by stimulating the liver, opening the
bowels and cleansing out the system of
impurities. Safe pills. Never grippe.

Risers for torpid liver every spring for
