BOER GENERALS WHO WERE
AGAINST WAR.

In q recent interview in London Gen.
Lucas Meyer, one of the Boer gen.
erals who won fame in the South Al
rioan war said: II fought for peace to
the last in the secret session of the
Folksraad when the question of thu
submission to Chamberlain demands
was under consideration. l moved in
favor of submission to them, Gen. De
La Rey seconded and Gen. Botha and
four others voted in favor of it. 1t
was rejected, however, by a majority
of twenty-one who voted in favor of
war. OF these only two have suffered.
OF the seven who voted for peace every
one was either killed or captured or in
the field when peace was declared"
Was not this history repeating it.
self? Is it not practically always the
case that those who are fiercest for
a share of the burdens of war?
These seven prominent Beers who
did what they could to avert war knew
what war meant, and they intended to
do share of the fighting if war were
declared. What was the intention OF
those who voted for war, in fact, in
sisted. against the advice of the gen.
erals, that war should be declared -?
Did they not intend that somebody
else should do the fighting? 1t certain
ly looks so. Gen. Meyer says that only
two of them suffered in consequence
of the war. What were the others
doing while the war was in progress &?
1t is a pretty safe assertion that
those who are the loudest and most
persistent in demanding war, when the
question of peace or war is under dis
oussion, are seldom found in the front
ranks when the battle actually begins
OF course there are exceptions, but
what Gen. Meyer said in regard to the
men who made up the Volksraad, is
true of most men who make their in
1uence felt under similar circum-
stances

Personal.

Herr Most, the anarchist who has
enjoyed an international experience of
prison, sums it up in the epigram, THE
freer the country the worse the Jail
Il was first" he says, imprisoned in
Austria. There L was treated like a
gentleman. In Germany they set me
to work at bookbinding That was
easy. In London they made me pick
oakum. That was very hard. The
hrst time l was imprisoned in America
had to fire furnace. That was

A salesman who has been on a visit
to that island says: IF you reach Ha-

one of them. You must wait for a later
boat or do nothing. The moment you
begin to hurry them they suspect you

The Buffalo Commercial says that
Charles A. Dana once defined news in
this way: IF you see a dog biting a
man don't write it up. But if you see
man biting a dog spare no pains or
money to get the details to the Sun
office" This is a poor paraphrase of
a good story. When Doc" Wood was
night editor of the Sun young report
er asked him: What constitutes
news?" Mr.. Wood considered for a mo-
ment and then replied: Here's an
illustration which will probably give
you correct idea of what / think on
that subject: If you should see a dog
running down Broadway with a tin
can tied to his tail it isn't worth a line.
But if you should see a dog with a
tin can tied to his tail-walking down
Broadway it's worth a column"

THE PRESIDENTS FRIEND.

There is no doubt that Archbishop
Ireland is a good friend of the Presi-
dent and his administration. He is so
firm in his conviction that the policy
the administration adopted in dealing
with the question of the friars in the
Philippines is the right one that the
presumption that he suggested it would
not be a violent one.
AS a matter of fact, however. the
archbishop is right in the position
which he takes. There is nothing on
which to base a charge that the adj
ministration is influenced by anything
but the best of motives in trying to
get rid of the Spanish friars. All of
the testimony goes to show that the
Filipinos don't want them. and the
Filipinos are Catholics Most of them
have been driven away from their
parishes and cannot go back unless
under the protection of the govern
ment.
1t is better for all concerned there
fore that the Spanish friars should
be provided for elsewhere, and that
their places should be filled by frairs
acceptable to the natives. That is the
view that the Pope takes of the mat
ter and that ought to be satisfactory
to the whole Catholic church.
1t probably is to a great majority
of Catholics, but there are some who
insist that the President has mo-
tive in getting rid of the friars which
he has not yet disclosed. They seem
to think that the friars should be put
back in their parishes. and protected
there by an army, if necessary. They
are trying to make it appear that an
assault has been made upon the Cath
Ollie Church, and take the position that
the Church ought to rise up and de-
fend its rights. OF course nothing is
further from the truth. If the Church
were being attacked and its rights
endangered the Pope would be the
first to become aware of it, In fact,
the plan which has been adopted for
getting rid of the friars is the Pope's.
The Archbishop says that those who
are complaining and protesting and
calling upon Catholics to be up and
doing represent nobody but them
selves. No doubt some of them are
honestly mistaken and others are mis-
led ty expressions which nave appear
ed in the public prints. There are
some no doubt who take 4 delight in
utilizing the opportunity to stir up ill
feeling. They have a purpose in view
which they do not disclose. 1t is not
probable. however, that they will ac-
complish their object, whatever it may
be. There are too many strong men
like Archbishop ireland in the Cath
Ollie Church to permit the plan ADOPT
ed for getting rid of the friars to be
defeated.

Fighting Joe" Wheeler is RESPONSE
BILE for a most characteristic bit in
Miss Rives' new novel, Hearts Cour-
ageous," which is one of the bis pop
ular sellers of this season.
The auburn haired Southern girl and
the grizzled little veteran, who has
been a long and close friend of hers,
sat dining together at the Waldorf one
evening a few months ago. The Cen
eral was telling stories of the humor-
GUS side of the Cuban campaign.
"One of my colored hostlers," he said,
"unwittingly got under fire on the day
of the San Juan fight and asked him
how he liked it. 'Tain't de cannOns an
sech what fiustercates me-, ha said:

in "Whar-iz-iz-yo'? r-iz-iz-yo'? ?"

Miss Rives clapped her hands. ''Oh,"
she cried. May l use that? I've got
a negro body-servant in my new book

the quantity humorous character of
Hearts Courageous" was given one of
his most quoted sayings.

Fear of Waste Won Her.

The Scotch are. perhaps. the thrift
est of people. This habit of economy
does not forsake them even in pros
perity. says the Detroit Free Press.
My wife's mother" said one of the
story-tellers at the club, was a dear
old Scotch lady, with many lOvable
eccentricities. At table she was very
anxious that the 'bairnies' should have
all the good things they desired, and
she was equally anxious that nothing
should be wasted. Often she would
deny herself unnecessarily, with the
idea of letting some one else secure a
choice bit.
Let me give you this, mother
would say, offering some delicacy.
Ma. na,' she would reply, give
il to the bairnies.
But, mother would insist
they've had plenty. and. besides, if you
don't take it it will surely be wasted. >
Then the dear woman would receive
it with a clear conscience "

Sage. Morgan And Coal.

coal strike began. Russell Sage and
j. Pierpont Morgan were riding down
to business on an elevated train, says
the New York Times. The conversa-
ton naturally turned TO the coal
strike. chances of the output, prices
coal would bring, etc.
Mr.. Sage was telling of their good
luck in procuring a lot at a moderate
cost per ton. Mr.. Morgan bantered
him about the quality, claiming he did
not get the real article at the price
he mentioned.
"Oh, yes" said Mr.. Sage, that coal
is all right; the real article. 1 know
it, for each piece is stamped 'Lehigh.' /"
That's good one" answered the
arbiter of finance; but I'm a think

sage of Lawrence Beach good nat
uredly on the shoulder, I'm a think

else will get, instead of being stamp

piece will be stamped D high

And so Joan of Arc is not to be raised
to sainthood after all; at least, not
yet awhile. The Sacred College at
Rome has decided against the claims
of the heroine, on five grounds, as fol-
lows: That Joan of Arc culpably at
tackled Paris on religious feast day.
while the city was celebrating the birth
of the mother OF Jesus: that her cap
ture disproved her claim to having a
heaven-ordered mission; that her at
tempted evasion shows that MARTYR
dom was suffered unwillingly; that she
lacked in heroism when she signed an
abjuration of alleged errors, and that
according to her own admissions. il is
doubtful whether She died a virgin.
The French people are considerably
wrought up over the decision, especial
ly since they had come to regard the
beatification as certain.

A Washington dispatch says that
the chaplains of the army are displeas-
ted to wear gold braid and stripes un-
der the new order adopting olive drab
as the standard uniform. The authori-
ties hold that the chaplains are non-
combatants, and therefore should not
wear the insignia of the fighting off
GERS. On their part the chaplains hold
that they rank with captains, and that
if they are not permitted to wear the
insignia of officers of their rank they
will be degraded.

We shall probably now see whether
or not it is possible to build up a strong
white Republican party in the South.
The Republican State Executive Com
mittee of Alabama has adopted a res
olution providing that only those
shall be recognized or permitted to par
tIcipate in the state and county con-
ventions and be at meetings who are
duly qualified voters under the new
constitution" of the state. The new
constitution. as is very we'll known.
practically eliminates the black vote;
thus the way is made clear for Re
publican party in Alabama without
the black incubus. However. we do
not believe the white Republican party
IN that state viii ever amount 10 any
thing more than an organization TO
gobbie the federal appointments.

INCREASE IN IMMIGRATION.

There is a steadily increasing immi-
grafton from Europe, and the class of
immigrants is not as desirable as il
the year ending June 30, 1902 the num-
her of immigrants was 64S,743 For the
year ending June 80, 1901 the number
was 4s7, 9lS. The percentage of increase
was therefore was SO. The percent
age of increase over 1900 was 45, over
1889. POS and over 1898. 2S3. These per-
centages show that the immigration
last year was enormous in comparison
with other nearby years.
OF the immigrants admitted into the
country the last fiscal year, over 2S
per cent. of those over II years of age
could not read or write their own Ian
guage, and over 20 per cent. of the
entire number were from Austria-Hun-
gary, Italy and Russia. The percent
age of immigrants coming from the
United Kingdom, France, Germany and
Scandinavia was less than 81. There
vas a distinct increase in the immi-
grafton from Eastern Europe and a
falling off in that from Western Eu-
rope. The total Hebrew immigration
VAS less during the last fiscal year
than it was the year before-it being
in 1902 81. 6SS and in 1901, 5S,09S.
1t is worthy of notice that the aver
age amount of money brought by i'm
migrants of all races was very small,
being only about SIS each. When the
fact is taken into account that many
of the immigrants brought very con-
siderable sums it becomes apparent
that the great majority did not have
enough when they landed to furnish
them with food and lodging for more
than a week or two. How desperately
poor they must have been in their own
country to take the chance of better
ing their condition by migrating to
this!
1t is not at all strange that so large
percentage of them remain in the
cities, where they hope to get employ
ment at once. or go to the coal fields
and accept almost any wages they can
get. 1t is claimed that it has been the
policy of the coal barons to bring this
cheap labor from the poverty stricken
sections of Europe and use it to break
down wages in the coal fields. AS
matter of fact the great majority of
the strikers in the anthracite coal sec
ton are from Eastern Europe. Many
Of them cannot read and write. have
not become citizens, and do not intend
to and doubtless the great majority
have no understanding of or regard
for Republican institutions.
1t is doubtful if the South would be
greatly benefited by immigrants of
this sort. and therefore there is not
much reason to regret that the num-
Der that seeks Southern states is
small. According to the statistics only
13 per cent. of the total of the immi-
grafton of the last fiscal year sought
homes in states south of the Potomac
and the Ohio rivers and west of the
Mississippi river, and of the 10 per
cent. only small part settled in the
South Atlantic states.

BENEFITTED ny THE INJUNCTION

The beef packers and the railroads of
the West are having lively fight over
the question of rates. 1t seems that
prior to the injunction against the
meat trust-the injunction that was
issued on the application of the gov
ernment-the meat packers made the
transportation rates for all products
of the packing houses and for live stock
transported to the stock yards. AS
soon as the injunction was issued the
railroads took the question of rates
into their own hands. At last they
thought they were going to have the
satisfaction of saying what they would
charge for transporting the products
of the packing houses. The high
priced men employed by the packing
houses to control the rate situation
were alarmed to find they could make
no impression upon the railroads. The
roads stood firm against all assaults
upon them.
1t is said, however, that there is now
an indication of a break. All the pack
ing houses want is for one of the great
roads running out of Chicago to break
away from the other roads and accept
their terms. With one road TO work
with they can control the others. Be-
fore the other roads would permit one
road to have the bulk of the business
they would come to the terms of the
packers.
No doubt one of the ways the pack
ers have of making their business
profitable is to compel the railroads to
give them lower rates than other ship
pers pay. That the packers have been
able to get reduced rates ought to be
considered pretty good evidence of the
existence of a meat trust. 1t shows
that they have been acting together.
And, if they act in harmony in one
matter, why not in others? 1t will not
surprise the public if the government
secures sufficient evidence to prove the
existence of a meat trust.
