The Boer Revolt in south Africa

The proclamation Of martial law 10
the Union of South Africa leaves no
room for doubt that the Government
takes the news Of revolt of Beers
against Its authority seriously. 1t Is
significant that the meetings called to
sympathlze with England and pledge
aid to her in the war have not always
been harmonious. While the loyal
Beers have been In the majority aud
with their British friends have carried
the necessary resolutions, hostile
feeling has cropped out and some
times It was difficult TO conduct the
meetings in an orderly manner.
On one occasion recently General
CHRISTIAN DE WET was not allowed a
hearing by the loyal element, and the
port that he would take the field for
the Government, he did not approve Of
a campaign against the Germans in
Southwest Africa.
Whether General DE WET has any
idea Of sharing the fortunes Of Colonel
MARrTz's rebellious command may be
doubted. DE WET is, or until recently
he was, Minister of Agriculture, aud
outwardly a loyalist. A man of few
words and weighty in council. he is
not likely to forswear any obligation
he enters into. On the other hand, he
has never shown any marked enthusi-
asm for British rule. 1t was accepted
philosophically by him. His influence
with the Beers, It should be noted, IS
not as great as that of General LouIs
BoTIIA, the Premier, and of General J..
$. SHUTS, the able and vigorous Minis.
ter of Defence. The loyalty OF these
men cannot be under suspicion for a
moment. 1t may be assumed that the
majority OF the Beers in South Africa
will stand by the Government.

A certain progress in political under

Cuban Congress who after twenty-four
hours of sulking finally announced that

count of a decision of the Supreme
Court which displeased them. They
made the discovery overnight that q
revolution Is undesirable at the present

COLUMBUS. Ohio, October IL.
THE Sun has not said that the Re-
publican platform in Ohio declared for
prohibition. The plank dealing with the
liquor question was cleverly drawn to
secure the good will of the liquor in
terests. At the same time the Repubi-
can candidate for Governor, Represen-
tatlve Frank Il. Willis, has come OUT
for prohibition. He announces that ne
will vote for a prohibitory amendment
in November. He condemns what IS
called the "home rule" amendment as
"a backward step in temperance legis-
lation" and as "a dangerous measure"
The home rule" amendment, which has
the support of the Democrats, aims to
repeal the county local option law and
provides that no law shall be passed to
prohibit the sale. furnishing or giving
away of intoxicating liquors "through-
out the State at large" Both Governor
Cox, who is up for reelection. and Log

reply. Fire Marshal John +. Prial, a
man Of long experience In fire matters
has also assured me that there could be

for the simple reason that the truck which
accompanied the first engine to arrive
would have made short work of the gates

inspection OF the gates leading to the

the paint had been scratched, showing
that no attempt TO force them had been
made. although they could have easily
been opened with bar such M is carried
