The two great branches of the English
speaking race can find food for chasten-
ing thought in the fact that neither of
them won any of the recent awards
made under the will of the late Alfred
b. Nobel, the Swedish inventor. 1t will
be recalled that Nobel set aside a large
sum, the interest on which was to be
divided and awarded each year to those
men or women who during the previous
twelve-month had contributed most to
benefit mankind. The prizes are open to
the world and include works in litera-
ture, chemistry, medicine, physics, and
works of peace. An impartial tribunal
is provided to make the awards. SwitZ-
erland. France and Germany carried off
the 1901 prizes of $40 900 each, there be-
ing six in all There seems to be little
doubt that the United States and Eng
land lead the world in material progress ;
but when all is said and done, it will
be found that the underlying motive is
anything but "the benefit of mankind"
Their goal is the almighty dollar and the
pound sterling.

A private letter written from Cape
Town by Rudyard Kipling is quoted by
the London Times, in which the lingo
poet says:
Our only fear is the old one-that England
at the eleventh hour will declare amnesty Tor
the colonial rebels. So far as one can ludge
from the almost uncomfortable levity or
Rosebery and Campbell Bannerman, the
Liberal party is quite prepared to give that
amnesty.
KIpling has studied history to poor
purpose if his "only fear" for South
Africa is that British craftsmanship will
fail to s'make treason OdiOus" by whole
sale hangings, imprisonments and con-
fiscations. The Stuart adherents were
thus treated, and the spectre of a
Jacobin rising haunted England for
nearly a century. Ireland might have
been reconciled to union with Great
Britain long ago but for the awful Penal
Code and the policy of mo amnesty to
rebels.
1t is from Lincoln and Grant, and that
wonderful page of American history
which tells how the most formidable
civil war in all history had its wounds
healed within the lifetime of the men
who fought it, that British statesmen
may best learn how to make rea
and lasting peace in South Africa.

The official reports from Washington
give the number of business combina-
tions know as ''trusts" at 1873, with total
capitalization of over three and half
billion dollars. One half of the number
were organized between Jan. l, 1899,
and June 80, 1900. The total wages
paid is given at 100000, OOO,-almost as
much as the government receives from
custom duties. The number of plants
controlled by the trusts is 2l03, and of
this number about eight per cent are
kept idle, thus throwing out of employ
ment a large number of men who under
independent control would be kept at

A Burlington hOrseman tells an Even
ing News reporter that the work of the
Humane society officers in that city the
past year has raised the commercial
value of all horses in the city fully ten
per cent. 1t ought not to be necessary
to appeal to the pocket-books of horse
owners to induce them to treat their
dumb friends with kindness and consid-
Grafton; but it is not unreasonable to
suppose that where ill-usage is common
the horse market for all classes of the
animal should be depressed. For i'll
usage shows want of appreciation of
the real value of the horse, both as an
assistant and as a market commodity,
and where such a lack of appreciation
prevails to any large extent in com
munity there cannot be a good market.
And this suggests the interest that every
humane horseowner should take In the
enforcement of the state laws. Such an
interest may be self-interest, but in its
effect it will add much to the moral tone
of neighborhood in teaching kindness
to those that cannot defend themselves
against inhuman treatment.

Still higher prices have to be quoted on

outside markets are up to Ia cents from
last week. The make increases very SLOWLY
in all dairy sections, and most OF it is OF
ordinary quality, not averaging so good as
last year. The range Of prices, therefore, Is
unusually wide and the market is difficult
to quote. Trade here, although showing some
increase, is not up to exception, and buy
ers are slow to pay the full values which
the general conditions require.
There were few fancy lots from

held at 25a to 20 cents, but not enough

No explanation can palliate, no ex-
cuse condone the horrors of the con-
centraton camps in South Africa. The
suffering which England is infiicting
upon the helpless Boer women and
children will remain an indelible blot
upon the British escutcheon. In six
months 12,44l deaths have occurred In
the concentration camps, 10,ll3 victims
being children. The death rate per 1000
per aunum for children In September
was 1873, October 572, November 469.
Earlier in the season when the death
rate was 1873 per 1000 per annum Field
Marshall Sir Neville Chamberlain stated
in the Manchester Guardian that the
figures implied that 10 women and
children died in the camps as compared
to one who would have died IN London,
and in August, when the death rate rose
to 2l3, he declared that it was greater
than that of the worst week In the Bonn
bay plague, and since then the percent
age has more than doubled. The war
