 BOOM IN TOBACCO BUYING LOCALLY.
 Four representatives of the Ameri- can Tobacco Go. appeared in town, last week, and three days bought about 1900 cases of tobacco, paying from 13 to 18c pound. J. Stuart Halpine, Carl Schoverling and Nicholas Staub have all bought numerous crops. The advantage of selling to local packers is that the tobacco will be put up in New Milford, giving employment to many men. The chances are that local buy CTS will pay as much, if not more, than outside companies, who will ship it away. The good prices paid means much to the prosperity of the place, and good winter is looked forward to.

MaeterIInck,s Flne Prose.

As an example of Maeterllnck's prose style. the following extract from his paper on Rome in the Fortnight ly Review is well worth reading:
 '"The beauty of earth. except for some spots that our sordid industries have ravaged, has altered but little since the days Of Augustus and Per icles. The sea Is infinite still. still in- violate. The forest. the plain, the har- vest. the villages. rivers and streams, :he mountains, the dawn and the even ing, stars and sky, vary as these all may according to climate and latitude, offer us still the same spectacles Of grandeur and tenderness, the same soft, profound harmonies, the same fairy-like scenes of changing complex ity, that they showed to the Athenian citizens and the people of Rome. Ma ture remains more or less as it was; and. besides. we have grown more sen- sitive. and today can admire more freely. But when we turn to the beauty special to man, the beauty that Is his own immediate aim, We find that, owing perhaps to our too great wealth or excessive application, to the scattering of our efforts, lack of con- centration. or to the want of certain goal and an incOntestable starting point. we appear to have lost almost all that the ancients had been able to establish and make their own. In all that regards purely human aesthetics In what concerns our body. our ges- lures. our clothes. the objects we live with, our houses and gardens, our monuments, even our landscapes, we are groping so timidly. we display such confusion and inexperience, that one might truly believe our occupation of this planet to date from yesterday

The Boer Transformatlon.

A recent item of news strikingly in- dicates the completeness of the trans formation which has been effected in South Africa. In one way and anoth- CT the progress of the change has been noted from time to time. At first we were told the Boers would never ac- quiesce in the terms of peace, but would maintain for years to come a guerilla warfare. But, in fact, they promptly and Loyalty accepted the terms of peace. Then we were as sured that they would not remain there under the British flag, but would emigrate in a mass and leave the land tenantless. But scarcely a corporaPs guard of them left the country to stay. Finally, we were assured that certain conspicuous leaders would never con- done the conquest of their land But one by one they did condone it, or at least aequiesced in it, and became British subjects.
 Now comes this latest bit of news, to the effect that MT. Steyn, the former president of the Orange Free State, is about to take the oath of allegiance to the British crown. That will complete the transformation scene. It is true, Paul Kruger never retook that oath. Gle did take it once, years ago, when he became an officeholder under the queen.) But MT. Steyn's taking it will be fully as significant; for Mr. Steyn out-Krugered Kruger in his opposition to British rule. It was believed to have been him who was Kruger's evil genius, who led Kruger into the war, and who was above all men respon- sible for the war and its results. How ever that may be. he was certainly one of the most uneompromising and defiant of all the Boer leaders, and the one who was last to admit that the Boers were beaten In the field. If he swears allegiance to King Edward, there can be no reason why any other Boer should hold back.
 Sentiment aside. the Boers realize
Arizona republican., 1904-10-22

that this Is the only sensible and prac- tical thing to do. Resistance would be vain. Refusal to take the oath would do them no good and would do England no harm. Moreover. they now see that in material things they are much better of than under the old system. The land is more pros porous and is better governed. and the most opinionated Copper of them all finds that he has just as much per sonal liberty as he had under the rule of Uncle Paul" On grounds of senti- ment, they may still regret the Brit ish conquest; but, after all, the Boers are more practical than sentimental As MT. Steyn says: ''The thing Is done and cannot be undone." So they are going to make the best of it. and the outlook is that the best will be very good indeed.

nark Smith Must Take ills Own
 TIedlciue,


 In former years Mark Smith has ap- pealed to the people of Arizona to dis regard party lines and vote for him to protect their own interests. No man has preached more eloqueptly than he on the unwisdom of voting for party against the public interest.
 He cannot consistently complain that, this year. the voters. remembering his advice of the past. are considering their own welfare instead of his per- sonal ambitions.
 One of the occasions when Mir. Smith asked most positively for nOn-partisan support was when he was trying to de- feat the bill creating the court of pri- vate land claims. He made the peo- pie believe, as he doubtless believed himself that the creation of the court would be followed by the confirmation of numerous fraudulent land grants.
 The republicans of Maricopa county. for example. believed that he was right. and they gave him the enormous majority of 1.OO6. They were patri- otic. and they thought they were vot- ing for the public good.
 Two years later. Mr. Smith had be- come convinced that the court of pri- vate land claims would be good thing. and he came before the people advocating the bill. Again he received a large majority. The people cared nothing about his turning hip-hop on the question-they wished to protect their homes.
 He tries now to obscure the facts by making the clumsy explanation that what he opposed was land commits sion." whereas he finally fell into line for a land court" As a matter of fact the bill. during all the time 1t was pending was the same in all essential features; 1t called for a tribunal. ap- pointed by the president. before whom the question of the disputed grants could be tried. Being a politician. Mir Smith is ashamed to confess that he was mistaken at any time. and tries to kick up a dust. instead.
 If he were less of a politician he would know that the people care very little as to whether he has been con- sIstent in the past; they expect poli- ticians to be shifty. It does fatigue in- telligent voters. however. to hear the appeals of Mir. Smith for their support on partisan grounds when he himself
