giles and the Boer war. Hiss work Of
100, 900 words will be a distinct addition
to the historical literature of South
merciaIly at least will increase with the
passing years and command more and
more attention from the world at large.
The book will be published simultane-
ously in several languages, at Munich,
London and The Hague, about the middle
of November, says the New York Times
Saturday Review. The rights for all OF
the English speaking countries have been
bought by Fisher Unwin, who, it is said.
is not finding it easy to get an American
publisher at the terms he desires. mat
he will get a publisher before long can
not be doubted, but he may nave 10
modify his terms. In Germany the de-
1nand for the book is said to be large.
The harshness with which Mr.. Kruger
deals with Mr.. Chamberlain is empha-
sized in the German advance notices.
The Saturday Review adds that the chap
tiers on the Jameson raid were pro-
nounced by the readers Of the work to be
particularly interesting, and then says
further:
Undoubtedly Mr. Kruger's book will
find publisher here before long, though
the owner Of the English rights may have
| to lower his price and be content with a.
smaller profit on his investment than he
had counted on getting. There has even
been some talk Of a serial publication
| of the work here, but nothing has been
settled on that point. Before the middle
of November, though, we may expect to
see ample quotations Of such parts OF
Mr.. Krugers narrative as are accounted
| 'newsy' widely circulated in the daily
press
The Munich publisher Of Mr.. kruger's
work will also publish books by De Wet
and Vilioen.

The Wells Forum puts the proposition
plainly before the people Of Faribault
county, which is good for 1000 plurality
for Van SAINT with a full vote cast. Says
the Forum:
THE republicans of this county should
remember that Governor Van SAINT has a
fight on his hands, and should therefore
not fail to go to the polls on election day
and vote. The railroads are making a
hard fight on the governor, and are spend
ing money freely in the northern half of
the state, while in the southern counties
which are solidly republican-no cam
paigning is being done by the democrats
| This has a tendency to cause the repub-
! licans to lose interest in the election, be-
cause they think everything is going their
way, and they may not think it worth
while to go out and vote.'

MINNESOTA POLITICS

Managers of the democratic campaign
are taking shrewd advantage OF the
conditions that endanger republican sue
cess in Minnesota. Off year apathy always
makes trouble, but this year the danger
is doubled by a reaction from the excite-
ment and stress Of the primary eiectlon
campaign. Republicans-tne rank and file
Of then-say they have had enough OF
politics for one season.. The ticket is sure
to be elected, so what IS the use OF vast
ing time doing political work!
Meanwhile the democrats are saving
wood They are saying nothing--in the
strong republican counties There the
democratic policy is the still hunt. Iney
have lulled the republicans into a peaceful
slumber. In the republican counties they
have put up no ticket at all, and have
conceded all the county offices to the re-
publicans. The republican candidates are
on easy street. They had their fight and
spent their money, at the primaries, and
they consider themselves through. What's
the odds to them If only a hundred votes
turn out? One will elect them, with no
opposition, Consequence-nO campaign
contributions and no effective work from
the candidates.
1t is all very comfortable for them, but
how about the state ticket? While repub-
leans are taking it easy in their strong
holds, the democrats are working like
beavers in the doubtful counties, and with
brass bands in the bourbon constituencies.
The democrats will get their vote out.
They have the money to spend this year,
and they are spending it. The report comes
in from every section where there is a
contest, that the democratic managers
seem to have plenty of money, and have
paid workers galore.
The democrats can afford to leave re-
publican counties alone. Even If few
democrats stay at home, they will gain by
light vote. Twenty stay-at-h home votes
to the precinct in Fillmore, Mower, Free
born, Faribault and Goodhue counties
will be serious matter for the repub-
lican ticket.
