seven months and 20 days, and has been
won by the British at a cost, which in
the words of "Oom Paul. Kruger, the
Transvaal president, has staggered hui
manity" The official British statistics

The British have taken about 81 1000
Boer prisoners, and of killed and wound
ed on that side there are no reliable

republics. The cost of the war to the
British, according to the chancellor OF
the exchequer in presenting the budget
in April last, has been a little over $685.

I'VE cannot have republican form OF
government in its best estate, nor long
maintain government OF, for and by the
people, unless the Ballots represent 'ntel-
llisencc. and not ignorance, patriotism and
not pre- judice and are uninfiuenced by pow

clared strongly in favor Of amending the
present law establishing high license AID

the nation and make the following declara-
ton upon the vital issues OF the day:
National issues-We demand the i'm
mediate abolition of all tariffs upon trus,
made articles, the most stringent enforce
ment of all existing laws against trusts
monopolies, illegal railroad poos and COM
hinatons, the passage of new and effective
/ laws to supplement the existing statutes oi
this nature and especially prohibiting cor,
porations and trusts. other than banks anC

duties upon the necesSarieS OF life; free
! trade with our insular territories which
we are now attempting to govern as
colonial provinces. and gradual reduction
! in all the tariffs until the revenue is re-
duced to the needs Of an economical ad
ministration of the government. We de
mand the immediate declaration OF tn,
purpose Of the United States to give thu
| Filipinos at an early date complete homo
rule ana entire independence, We demand
an immediate and subs bstantal reduction OF

| treaty or otherwise.
| Out of the 39s votes cast, the Hon. JOIN
! NJ. Mitchell had li6 and the Hon. Henry
Hollis had 25l. Mr. Hollis's nomination was
made unanimous and the convention ad
