at Kroonstad, but nothing is yet known
OF the result, The majority OF the
military men and civilians here expect
more from the continual presence OF
troops than from the present neg3iIa-
lions, II is pointed out that once be-
fore when hard pressed the Transvaal-
ers showed a desire for peace but this
was promptly overridden by President
Steyn. Nothing IN the present situa-
ton, so far as known, indicates that
President Steyn Is less irreconcilabie
than previously. Indeed, the known
facts seem 10 point to a greater deter
mination 20 continue the struggle.

THE FAITH OF THE FATHERS.

A story variously ascribed, but the
responsibility for which seems likely
to rest with Chairman Babcock, is be-
ing generally circulated in political
circles, and it will probably reach
"Jim" Griggs in due time. Up in a
back county in Pennsylvania, so the
story runs, the Democratic county
committee hit on the plan of sending
local Democratic paper to each
member of a colored community
which had settled in deserted locali-
ty. Great satisfaction was caused to
these negroes by being able to go to
the postofice and demand their"
paper. The postmaster also had con-
siderable amusement over the airs
and hourishes with which some of
the colored citizens demanded their
newspapers. One day little picka-
rinny hardly able to toddle alone, ap-
peared at the postofice.
II wont 'Jim's' paper" she said,
grandly.
The postmaster, who had to lean
over the counter to see the girl at all
brought the paper, and, as he gave it
10 the girl, inquired:
"Is Jim a Democrat 7"
"Yep," disapprovingly, Jim am
a Democrat, sure 'nuff. But me an
Bill amt" There was a brief
pause, and then, by way of explana-
ton, she confdentially added: eyer
see, Mr.. Postmaster, hits this way
Jim amt got religion yet. Wash
tugton Post.
