C Ttrisai .vouriFft, Jabtjaby 8, AS A SOLDIER 8SXS IT. When Great Britain began the Transvaal war she thought she had an easy thing to bring to terms the handful of Boers who there con fronted her armies. With her crack eenerals, and 210,000 men she sac ceeded after twelre months of hard work and ftarfal fighting, and loss of life in taking the principal Boer strongholds, and congratulated herself that the war was OTer. Bat it wasn't OTer, and isn't oyer yet'. and there is no indication that it will -be OTer soon unless Great Britain changes her tactics and pla cates the men she has been unable .to subdue. Gen. Kitchener tried the terrorizing plan, determined to follow Weylert reconcentrado bar barity, to hold Boer farmers re sponsible for the attacks on British soldiers, and to burn their homes if they refused to give information and to help hnnt down the Boers . who "sniped" British soldiers; but all this didn't work, for instead of unnerving the brave Boers it filled them with defiance and a determina-' tionto fight to the bitter end. The re sult is invasion of the Cape Colony, a threatened uprising of the Dutch inhabitants (who outnumber the British two to one), martial law, the calling to arms of the loyal in habitants and a call for more troops, a condition as bad or worse than it was wtien Gen. Boiler landed fif teen months ago with the army that was going to make short work of the Boer army, a quick march to Pretoria and take their Christmas dinner there. That's all history now, history of horrid miscalcula tion and fearful blundering, the re sult of overestimating their own prowess and underestimating the foe. Now the dispatches tell us that haying failed in his plan of- terrorixing Gen. Kitchener will try another plan', to conciliate the Boer fighters by making concessions which he would not have made thirty days ago. . . Our experience in the Philippines has been somewhat similar to the experience of Great Britain in South . Africa. She blundered in going to war with the Boers; we blundered in going to war with the Filipinos. The British people were dragged into that war by mercenary schemers, who had designs of their own to ac complish, and the American people were dragged into the 'war with the Filipinos by schemers who had de signs of their own to accomplish. Neither the British nor the Ameri can people were consulted about these wars; if they had been there would hare been no war in South Africa, no war in" the Philippines. . The British people, who are not yet done furnishing men and money to wage war against the Boers, who are now called "guerillas," have been told that the war was oyer, while Kitchener needs more troops, and the American people have been re peatedly told that the war in the Philippines was over, that there were only guerillas to be dealt with now, while Gen. MacArthur reports that he can't manage these guerillas and their sympathizers with less than 65,000 or 70.000 men, for an indefi nite period, that is for a long time to come, how many years neither he nor any one else can say. i Great Britain has had and still has a hard task before her in South Africa, Some of her leading men realize it and feel the necessity of resorting to some other method than brute force and extermination to put an end to the war, but as diffi cult as Great Britain's task is in South Africa, it is not as difficult as our task (if it is to be followed up on the force line,) is in the Philip pines. There are comparatively few Boers. They are not a treach erous people. They -are brare and wily foes, but if they lay down their arms and accept the terms offered them they can be depended upon to keep their agreement. The: Fili pinos are nine or ten millions. Tbey are unreliable, treacherous, pretend friendship and shoot our soldiers in the back. They will make agreements , to break them and will pretend friendship to get a - better chance to attack.' That's the experience of our sol diers jnthe islands, who , have learned ty iontact that the Filipino "amigo" is a myth and the -sFibpino American-hater a solid reality. The' soldiers there are the last men' on earth to believe the stories about the friendly disposition of the masses of the Filipinos.; As an offset - to the reports by the gentlemen who in the effort to- boost the administration . method ofr benevolent assimilation, -reprint the 'masses of the people ;Of the islands as friendly to this counoafnd;American rule we re produce the following extract from . :m letter of fQ&ffiS l Bullard, of Alabama, errin in Ihe Philippines to a .friend in Montgomery." a After ' speaking of soldier life in the Philip- We hare torn in- piece, we' have scattered the armies. pT, AgnlnaMo.' , .

That is the situation as a soldier sees it, at the end of two years of "benevolent assimilation" with powder and shot; that iff the situ ation as a majority of the Ameri can people see it, and as the war managers in Washington begin to acknowledge it when they ask for an army of 65,000 or 70,000 men for an "indefinate" time. paying in is owar COIN. The Philadelphia Press is a Re publican organ, and an advocate and defender of the doctrine of tariff protection, for protection only, re versing the Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only, with anch incidental protection as that kind of a tariff would give, which would be ample. In discussing the action of Russia in reference to the importa tion of German meats it says: "Some of Germany's chickens, so to speak, are coming home to roost On of these relates to the uujust diacrimi nwtion against American meats on tne pretense of their unwholesomeuets Qermanv prohibited the importation of American pork and certain othrr American products on alleged hy gienic grounds. Now Russia has pro hibited the importation of German meats under the same pretense. 'This has aroused the anger of the Germans and a petition has been in circulation in Germany, addressed to the Department of Interior at Berlin, calling attention to the commercial treaty with Busaia, which, .it is as sorted, has beep violated by the pro hibition by Itt&siajof the importation of Germ ah mean. The petition, in part, savs: If article 1510 of the Rus sian tariff act wholly forbids the im purt of German preparations of swine nsh we look upon this as an evasion of the commercial treaty with Ger many. The rear that trichinosis might be introduced through the importa tion of German sausage is deprived of any foundation by reason of the legal precriptiocr and the scientifically executed tnehninse inspection.' Tn National Zeituna and the Vom eitche Zeitung concede that the probi Diuon usued oy tne uerman U-overn-aient against the importation of Amer ican meats has given a weapon to Bus sis and the other foreign countries by which they can nullify the effects of Germany to promote the export of German meats. In regard to the argu ment that Russia ignores the German inspection for tnchii se the Brunswick Landea Zeituna notes that Russia may appeal to tne fact that Germany does not recognise the American meat in spection, although the Americans sa sert that these are thoroughly trust worthy. "This German organ of coarse goes on to assert that German inspection is mucn oener teas 'American, and Tal bot J. Albert, the American consul at Brunswick, in his report on the sub- jret, seems to concede thst such is the fact. But it is not true in the slightest degree. American inspection, as has een conceded by Germans who came to this couDtry to investigate it, is as thorough as thst of the German Gov era ment. Russia has fullyftas good reason far excluding Germln meats as Germany has for excludfug Ameri can meats Germany stars! this un' just course on a disbone& pretence. and it is now getting whatltt deserves pay in its own coin." I This is "chickens coo&ng home to roost," and it was also "chickens coming home to roost" when we put up the high tariff-wall to exclude German products from this country. We did not, it is true, resort to the subterfuge of guarding the people's health; &&, potecting them against infected meats; it was even a poorer exonse ; than that protecting their pockets, i The German agrarians 8imply ,took advantage of this prece dent to pay us back in our own coin, as-the j Russians are now paying the Germans. These - chickens always do come home to roost, and the na tion, which starts out to play the hog will run . up. with a good many rooters before it gets through with the hog game. - Like "Allen G.

To have resigned, as was urged upon him, so that he mi ight be appointed .would have been such a scandalous proceeding that no man with a particle of self-respect or the faintest sense of decency couid have entertained it for a moment. And therefore we never thought that such a proposition would be seriously entertained. There are some depths to which even the most grasping office-seekers, or most unscrupulous politicians, cannot descend. It may have been a narrow escape, perhaps the result of the protests that went up against, it, but whatever the cause, the State is to be congratu lated on escaping that culminating infamy. 00K NOTICES.

Exclus'on from Germany of American pork always met with approbation in certain commercial circles of the Kaiser's realm, but now that Russia, by official decree, has prohibited the importation of German pig meat into the Czar's dominions, the German sausage makers are wondering, between alternate fits of fear and ' rage, why the idea was ever suggested. Philadelphia Press, Hep. Naturally enough, the steamship subsidy mongers regard with great jealously the f 60,000,000 River and Harbor bill. In their dread of this rival, with its enormous prospective drain upon the Treasury, they say that more than half of it is mere subsidy. This is yjry likely: but it constitutes' no argument fo tbe Hanna-Krye bill, which is all subsidy spoil. The logic of the situation is that the- Subsidy bill should be defeated and tbe River and Harbor bill cut down to reason able proportions. Philadelphia Re cord, Dem. N Rlgst to Ugliness.

When a man wishes a fence around bis yard or field, he doesn't build It; he plants it, and It grows too. First he cuts a great bundle of pinon twigs, then he scratches a little trench where he wants his fence to run, and finally he sticks in the twigs in a row a few Inches apart. The soil of Cuba Is so rich and tbe weather Is so warm and moist that directly the twigs take root, throw out branches and leaves, and presently there is a dense hedge of plnon trees inclosing the field. And there are no nails to drop out here or boards to fall down and let In the cat tle, and the fence Is good for 100 years. Nor la that the most curious thing that one may see In Cuba. What would you think of a camp table that grew? While the American soldiers were camped back at Santiago tbey made great numbers of little tables by driv ing forked sticks in the ground for legs and using a top of boards. Of course the legs took root, and some of these tables are now nicely shaded by leafy branches, and in two or three .rears four nice trees will be growing There, and no one will- ever dream that they were once table legs. Another curious thing: At Guantanamo an old tin can was fastened around tbe branch of a big Cuban laurel tree some four or five feet from Its leafy end. It was packed full of earth, and Americans, wondered what could be tbe purpose or it "That's simple enough,'' said tbe Cu ban householder. "In a few weeks roots will grow In the earth Inside the tin can. Then we can cut off the limb Just back of the can, stick It In tbe ground, take away the can, and it will grow Into a tree." Plant a cauliflower' plant in Cuba, and Instead of spreading out In a big, fat head, like a cabbage. It spindles up for all tbe world like a sunflower, three or four feet high, with big, rank leaves and a little flower at tbe top that you never could recognize as a cauliflower. New York Sun. ' Geatlamaalr Coal Plelcers. A factory inspector Is thus quoted In the Philadelphia fiecord: "Many are the strange sights I see, and one of the strangest was not long ago at Cramps' shipyard. There was an enormous pile of soft coal, and a crowd of cultur ed looking men were going over it and selecting certain lumps. It amazed me to see these fellows, with their high collars, eyeglasses and pointed beards. picking coal In that way, and I de manded an explanation. 1 was told that the coal was being gone over and tne very best of It was being selected for use In the trial trip of a new man-of-war Wise and talented men were choosing the coal, because It was to be used in the trial of a new warship, the contract for which called for a certain speed. Success depended largely on the quality of the fuel, and so It Is no wonder, after all, that there was such a picking over of tbe coal heap by tbe well dressed experts, wbo did not In tend to take anaSchances of failure.'' How Boer Spies Are Treated. . Gunner Alfred Beadnall of the field artillery. In a letter from Orange River, South Africa, says: "The most painful thing 1 have seen was a Dutch spy wbo was caught try ing to poison some horses. He was tried and sentenced to be shot, and the poor fellow was made to march and dig his own grave, and when he had finished it be stood over it. Then 12 soldiers marched out, and each man bad to pick up a rifle out of a group of 12. There were six of these loaded and six unloaded, so none of them knew who shot him. And the poor chap never said a word. It was all over In a few minutes. I shall be thankful when we get Into barracks If ever we do so as we shall have a .bed to sleep on. It will be quite a change from sleeping on the hard, bare ground and only your topcoat to cover you from the wind and rain." Old Ooromlaao. The Chicago Tribune says: "Geroni too, the Apache chief. In capturing whom the late General Lawton won fame as an Indian fighter, still lives at Fort Sill, I. T. Ever since he laid down bis tomahawk, 13 years ago, in obedi ence to the fearless Lawton the old chief has been a prisoner of war. Im mediately after their capture Geronlmo id his band of warriors were taken .east, bnt the climate did not agree with them, and many died. Then they were removed to Alabama, finally re turning to the land of the setting sun In 1894.

"this of fer is not for live ones. Tbey must be dead. I must have the coroner's certificate that the man was a foot pad or a'safeblower and that he has been planted under six feet of cold sod before the reward will be paid. The only way to stop this flourishing indus try is to kill off a few bad men. If s the footpads hide that I will pay $100 for, not a live robber's. vWe have too many of them now."
