One of the chief reasons why young
America" is bright, is because it tips
the cap to no squire, squireling or other
condesccnding overman. And, in addi-
ton to this, he may find by listening to
the conversation of Uncle Sans sons
and daughters that each and every one
has towering ambition; not one is sat
isiied to stay in n particular class if he
or she can see way of getting higher.
This is corolary to the condition of ma
tnral independence and freedom from
overlordship which Young America en-
joys. He is unaware of it, but it is
none the less a fact.
The British boy is taught great deal
about the greatness of Britannia, the
glory of the Empire, and so on but as an
individual he is born to "a place." and
is expected to keep that place. The cate
chism of the Established Church teaches
him to be contented sin that state of life

Friday witnessed an earnest effort on
tnc part of Mr.. Hopkins, chairman of
the Census Committee, to secure the pas
sage of Il bill making the Census Bureau
permanent affair, but the measure as
reported by Mr.. Hopkins was top heavy
in the way of salaries and not sufficiently
explicit in regard to the retention of
clerks so that the able fight against the
bill, lead by Mr.. Burkett, of Nebraska
was successful and it was recommitted
to the committee. Mr.. Hopkins claimed
that the bill would result in reducing the
expense of the decennial census and
would increase its efficiency. Mr. Bur-
kett objected to the payment to the Di-
rector of the bureau salary of $500
year, when the chiefs of other bureaus
in the government received salaries of
not more than $4,000 or $1,000 per an

sALTAIR MANAGEMENT.

There have been many erroneous ru-
mors about the management OF
Saltair Beach and the railroad connect
ed herewith, known as the Salt Lake
a Los Angeles Railway; but they have
been founded chiefly on mere conjec-
ture The directions Of the beach and
Of the road have not taken any ac-
ton In the matter until today. Par
tlculars OF their meeting and OF their
proceedings will be found in another
part Of this paper
The new manager OF the beach and
superintendent OF the road, Mr. J. +,
Langford, is well and fayorably known
IN this community His business quail
heatlons are generally recognized. He
may not have had much experience in
the sphere wherein he Is called to act,
but his integrity is unquestioned and
his ability is excellent, and he win be
able to call around him such assist
ance as win be necessary In the con-
duct Of all the details Of the work that
lies before him.
Mr. William Mcmillan has the benefit
Of many years Of practical experience
in railroad Affairs, and will bring into
active exercise that experience and his
well known special adaptability for the
double position Of secretary and treas
urer of both departments Mr. Bate
man retires at the end Of this month,
with the respect and confidence Of the
companies and OF all who are acQualnt-
ed with him
1t viii be gratifying TO the lovers Of
temperance and good order TO know
that the proposition to throw the beach
open for a certain period to the sale
OF intoxcants, has been declined, and
hat the original decision rendered
early this year, that no intoxicants Of
any kind or description should be sold
at the beach, viii be strictly adhered to.
Neither on Sunday nor on week days
VIII there be any traffic in those stlnu-
lants.
II does not matter whether the BUSH
ness of the beach and Of the road pays
or not so far as that traffic is con-
cerned. We believe the road and beach
win have a successful season, and that
saltair will maintain its position as the
finest resort OF the kind in the country,
and clear reputation for that peace,
good order and rational pleasure which
should belong to such a place Of recrea-
ton and sanitation.

Men have lately seemed TO think OF
Cecil Rhodes chiefly as an aggressor
against the two Boer states. He was
not, He played for vastly larger stakes,
and won them. His march OF empire

careless of their fate. Indeed, he was
most OF his career the champion OF the
Afrikanders. II was by virtue OF Afrl-

cordial following of the Dutch ana

In Great Britain complained that he was

talk which generations before had led

on the whole, the English treatment
Of the blacks has been better than that

to keep liquor from the blacks and pro-

The mobblng Of King Leopold a

parties The outbreak was preclpitat.
ed by the expulsion from Belgium Of
Spanish Socialists. but II is evident
that the cause OF It Is 10 be found in
the bitter struggle in which the people
is involved. The mobblng Of the mon
arch proves that the passions of the
combatants have been heated up almost
to the point Of danger
A few months ago It was observed
that In Belgium the classes We're rapid
y lining themselves up against one
another on the question OF universal
suffrage; and Il was thought by care
ful observers that violent crisis was
approaching The question was OPEN
ly discussed who holds the control
OF the fighting forces?' Government

was loyal and would not refuse to
obey the officers, The opponents tidl-
culed this assertion, and added that

sary," said lie Peuple, I'VE could show

mean the country win not find a way
to express lis VIII? OF course, the
citizens win no longer express their

way TO the ballot box and returning to

performed. The clericals want a fight.
But so much are We accustomed TO

Tenders Of universal suffrage"
This extract from a paper that repre-
sents the people gives an idea Of the
situation in Belgium Thot the gov
ernment considers 1t serious is clear,
from the fact that the minister Of war
has ordered the militia reserves of
eighteen regiments 20 hold themselves
ready TO Join the colors and that gems
d'aunes are held IN readiness to march
whenever required. But If It is true,
as intlmated, that both soldiers and
militia are strongly In sympathy with
the Socialists, these precautions win
be Of little avail Riots are reported
in several places, II looks as if the

might be- about 10 break out in fury

1900. the war took another turn. KIM
berey was relieved on the 18th OF that
month, and CronIe capitulated on the
eth on the LIST Of March Ladysmith
was relieved, and the British entered
Bloemfontein on the 18th OF the same
month. Mafeking was relieved ON the
18th OF May, and on the SOth OF that
month the victorious troops under the
British commander entered Johannes
burg and Pretoria.
At that time the British had brought
into the field about 100000 men against
the Boer forces, estimated at 10000.
They had lost IN killed, wounded and
Sick about $4,000 men. But the war
was proclaimed practically ended The
Boer forces were scattered and thought
to be without means Of resistance. But
they have kept the field over q months
since then, and performed some Of the
most remarkable feats Of guerilla war
fare.
The long contest has brought is sur
prises and disappointments to both
parties, But We believe when the
wounds are healed and the combatants
can look back upon their experiences
in the field with calmness, they win
respect and esteem one another more
than they have done before. Great
Britain win have learnt that the friend
ship Of the Dutch settlers is worth
something, and these viii perhaps have
come TO the conclusion that the march
Of civilization cannot be resisted with
safety.
The war has many lessons to the out
side world too. IT has shown what
patriotic farmers can 10 for the de-
Tense Of home and liberty though new

the world. II is warning to agres.
siye powers that policy Of coyetOus-
ness Is not safe; II is an object lesson
In patriotism TO the smaller states OF !
the world. The war teaches, above ALL
the fallacy of European mltarism. by
showing that intelligent citizens, taken |
from the field and the shop. when fired
With patriotic enthusiasm, are soon
trained to cross swords with the most
scientific fighters and strategists, and
that Is much needed lesson. The
world needs to learn that the CONVEX
ZION Of entire nations in times of peace
INTO military barracks Is useless, and
therefore, crime against humanity.
From the latest dispatches received
m the subject 1t seems that the early
that peace terms have
,een accepted Is not officially confirm
ID. But negotiations are pending, and
here is little doubt that they will lead
o the result anticipated, provided both
,artles are willing to modify their de-
hands TO some extent. And this is
'robable at present. The Boer COM
handlers are widely scattered and It
VII take time to communicate with
hem But. in all probability, tn
erns offered will be accepte,, and the
'ar ended before long. This, at least,
