General Botha and MT. Shuts took the field together in Pretoria, and had an enthusiastic welcome from an enor- nous gathering. The people filled the Opera House and stood in hundreds in the street outside. No resolution was nut. but there was no doubt whatever about the whole e-hearted support given to them by their audience. Mir. Fischer addressed his constituents at Bethle- hem and added thus a fourth Prime Minister to the orators of the week. Here there was another unanimous vote of confidence. In addition to these gatherings. innumerable smaller meetings in support of the Constitu- tion were held in every quarter of the country. Practically every delegate must have rendered an account of his stewardship at the convention by this time. and large number of private members have obtained 8 mandate from their constituents to vote for the Act of Union when 1t comes before Parliament
 The net result of all this activity Is very parpable weakening of the op- position, whose diversity of view is, perhaps. the best testimony to the real success of the convention. MT. Hof- meyers demonstration in Cape Town did not meet with any response from the other branches of the bond. which at one time would have answered his call as one man. On the contrary.

Omaha Paper Makes Announcement
 He Has Gained Control.
 omaha Special to Chicago Record
 Herald.
 The Bee of Sunday morning will an nounce unqualifiedly that E. H. Harri- man Is in control of the New York Central. In making thIs announce ment, which is in confirmation of ru- mors which have been current since the resignation of President Newman, The Bee will say:
 "The fact that Hartman has gained possession of this powerful factor fin the railroad world is conveyed to Oma- ha through channels of information from New York whose reliability cam not be questioned.
 When the resignation of William H. Newman as president of the New York Central lines was announced ru- mors were strong Hartman had se- cured control, and sInce that time these rumors have been verified. In the first place Hartman told ". C. Brown, then vice president. that he was to be president of the New York Central and had several conferences with Mir. Brown before he was elected
 Tt is also known by Omaha men that MT. Hartman for the last two months has been acting as chairman of the executive committee of the Gen. tral and that no move has been made without his sanction. This Is no idle gossip but comes direct from those who are in a position to know, for they have been getting their orders from Mir. Harriman."

Roosevelt and TiIIman.


 We do not know what "evidence" President Roosevelt may have against Senator Tillman, but we will not be- lieve it until we see 1t that he has cargbt the South CaroIinfan with the goods' as he is said to have boasted. AS matter of fact. the first statement of his alleged connection with the ore rnn land frauds was made by MT. TIL man himself in his denunciation of what he called this swindle on,d not m btns tns done this had he been in any sense a silent partner of the people who were organizing this deal and we look with confidence to his ability to clear him self of any criminal charge the Presi- dent has made or can make against just censure attend the true event"
 We do not think that Mir. Tlllman has always followed tae straight path in his dealings with those who have been opposed to him in politics; we know that he has brought many wholly tions against better men than himself in this State; we do not think that he will ever forgive himself for the tyran- nv with which he has exercised his po- litical domination of South Carolina; hut. much as we have differed from we have regretted and condemned his course in times past. we are not ready 10 believe that he Is guilty as charged in the Presidents indictment of him. and wish for him a safe and speedy de- liverance.

 A rich St. Louis merchant has given up work at sixty-flve to devote his undivided attention to golf He mas heroically accepted the alternative which confronts all true golfers ana sacrificed business to sport Yet why call that a sacrifice which provides conRenial occupation and assures longer lease of life through the ar- rest of physical decay? Golf tones up the nerves, broadens the sympathles and refines manners, nor permits them to become harsh. It Is at once a game and a philosophy. But the best use os golf Is as an antidote to the nattonnI disease of strenuousness. It Is only within the present generation that the nation has learned how to relax, how to play. Where twenty years ago were business men to be seen waton- ing the clock and catching early after" noon trains to the suburbs? The re cent anniversary celebration oy tne pioneer golf club in the United states was an event Of more than transient interest. It was the commemofeIion of a social revolution. particular distinction will attach to the st; Louis merchant who has proclaimed himself the first to abandon business TOT tne game. He has made the grand va- nunciation. He has set q proud sS- ample.
