OPPOSED TO THE GRBEHBACKS.
It is quite apparent from the pro
ceedings of the Bankers' meeting,
held last week in Milwaukee, that a
strong effort will be made to retire
the greenbacks. In his address
Secretary Gage laid particular stress
on this and doubtless the majority
of the bankers present agreed with
him. It is easy to understand why
the bankers should favor it, because
the proposition is to substitute na
tional bank -notes for the retired
greenbacks, thus giving the banks
control of all tke paper currency in
the country, with the exception of the
gold and silver certificates.
As a business proposition it is
doubtless a very good one for the
banks. But it is not so apparent
why those who are not identi
fied with the banks should
desire it. There are now outstanding
about $346,000,000 of greenbacks.
They are in every" respect the
equal of either gold or silver, and
in ordinary business transactions
are preferred to either. They are
to all intents and purposes gold or
silver certificates because when pre
sented at the Treasury they may be
exchanged for either. Another
thing about them is that the volume
cannot be reduced except by re
demption, or by being locked up.
But if they are redeemed it can be
only by exchanging them for gold
in the Treasury, or for some other
kind of money if taken by banks,
so that whether redeemed or ex
changed for speculative or other
purposes some other kind of money
goes into circulation in place of
them.
As far as their use as currency
goes they have stood the test and
held their own with both gold and
silver. Their standing as money in
the full sense has never been ques
tioned. They buy as much of any
commodity as gold or silver; they
pay debts and taxes-as well as gold
or silver; may be presented at a TJ.
S. Treasury and be exchanged for
gold or silver and therefore the
people of the country consider
them just as good for all purposes
of business as coin of either kind,
and have not asked and do not
want them retired. They are based
on the credit of the Government,
and while the patriotism of the peo
ple sustains the Government and
its credit the greenback will always
keep abreast of the best money in
the world.
Why, then, should a currency
like this be retired and give way to
other kinds of notes, the volume of
which could be controlled by cor
porations whose interests would be
best subserved by a limited rather
than a liberal volume of currency?

HARD TO WIPE OUT.

The' more Great Britain sees of
the war with the Boers the more per
plexed she becomes and the more
she realizes that the end is not yet
in sight, notwithstanding all the re
ports to the contrary. She has now
in the field 200,000 troops with' 450
big guns, and yet she is about to
send 29,000 more men to help those
200,000 to fight the plucky rem
nants of the Boer armies.
The British war managers do not
seem to have ever known the num
ber of fighters the Boers had in the
field and do not now know the num
ber they have and that is one of the
puzzles that perplexes them. As
bearing upon this the following
which we clip from the Baltimore
Sun, condensed from an article in
the Edinburg Scotsman, will be in
teresting:
"The Edinburgh Scotsman pub
lishes a table of the Boer casualties, or
losses, since July 1 last, as reported by
General Kitchener, not including
those of the sanginary fights at ltala
and Prospect The total of killed,
wounded, prisoners and voluntary
surrenders, as given, 6,316, or, if ltala
and Prospect be included, 6,846. The
aggregate of killed in the three
months was 785; wounded, 671; pris
oners, 3,945; voluntary surrenders,
1,445. Previous to July t, in the first
six months of the present year, there
were reported killed 525; wounded,
290: prisoners, 3,538; voluntary sur
renders, 1,319. The total for the nine
months ended September 30 is 12.518.
Deducting wounded, who presumably
remained uncap tured, the total dimin
ution of the Boer fighting force in
that period was 11,857. As some eight
or ten thousand are supposed to be
still in arms, the fighting force must
have exceeded somewhat the ordinary
estimates. Commonly the military
age is supposed to embrace only the
years netween is ana 45, out among
the Boers there is no recognized limit,
boys of 15 and old men of 75 being
found among the prisoners taken. To
be added also are the foreign recruits
and the Dutch recruits from Cape
Colony and Natal, estimated to exceed
14,000. If to this figure be added the
number commonly said to have been
of "military age" in 1899, the number
of fighters below and above the mili
tary age and the number reaching the
fighting age since 1899 a erand total
of 85,000 is obtained for the aggregate
Boer fighting force first and last
"What has become of this aggre
gate if the present number of Boers in
the field be estimated at not .over 10,
000? As already shown. General
Kitchener claims a diminution of 11,
857 in the last nine months of the war.
The number of prisoners taken in the
previous 15 months was about 30,000.
There were besides some 3,000 volun
tary surrenders, some 1,500 killed,
some 3,000 who died of camp diseases,
besides the 1,000 taken by the Portu
guese to Lisbon. The number perma
nently disabled by wounds and acci
dents can hardly hare been less than
500. These items account for but 59. -
857 Boer fighters out of the esti
mated aggregate of 85,000. There
is accordingly still a margin
of 25,143 men and boys upon
which the Boer leaders may draw, if
the above estimates are approximately
correct to say nothing of future re
cruits from Cane Colon v and Earniw
It is possible that the total available
Boer strength has been exaggerated
and that their losses from battle, acci
dent and disease have been under
estimated, but in any case it seems
probable that the patriot army is con
siderably larger than the British sup
pose. The recent attacks on British
detachments were made at points
hundreds of miles apart and by bodies
said to be 1,500 to 2,000 strong a fact
inconsistent with the idea that only a
few small bands now hold the field."

The beerjhat made
Milwaukee famous
You drink some beers that cause bilious headache. Perhaps
you think that all beers do.
The cause of biliousness is the lack of age too much haste
to put the beer on the market. To ferment beer thoroughly
requires a process of months. Without it the fermentation takes
place in your stomach. That is the cause of biliousness.
Hurried beer is unhealthful. Schlitz beer is kept for months
in refrigerating rooms with a capacity of 265,000 barrels kept
almost at freezing point until it is well fermented. Schlitz beer is
never marketed until thoroughly aged.

The cheers for Roosevelt

We must solve the negro
question for ourselves. To begin
with, it was folly to expect assist
ance in this matter from Washing

in power. To iiy into fits, now that
this baseless expectation has failed,
is to add weakness to weakness.
Serve notice on Mr. Roosevelt that
his influence with the white men of
the South is forever gone. Then
let him alone. That is thecourse
for. the South to ' pursue in the

The war has entered upon its third
year. In that time England has sent
into South Africa about 325,000

From that view, even though
it be expressed by the Chief Magis
trate of the nation, Americans of
the Southern States promptly and
emphatically dissent. The negro is
not the social equal of the white
man. Social equality between the
white race and the black race has
never existed and never will exist.
The trnth of that statement is writ
ten in letters of living light in the
records of the human race. It is the
decision of the ages; and Mr. Roose
velt might as well attempt to rub
the 8 tar 8 out of the firmament as to
erase that conviction from the heart
and brain of the American people.
New Orleans Times-Democrat,

nunouc aonot at tne pres

possible to forecast his intentions

body knows what he will do next.
The great commercial interests of
the country fear radicalism of any

cotton crop in the county, as a whole
is large or small, it sejems to be certsin
that several farmers will make the
best crop in years. 1 The tobacco

crops have been made in this section
and because of the general shortage
prices are much above those of previ
ous years. Common tobacco this sea
son almost sold for what the better
grades brought previously. A great
increase in acreage next year will send
prices to the old stage.
A LITTLE KNOWN ART'
'the 'I'otirco FUTorer Haa Short
Hours and Oram BUT Far.
, "A high grade position of which but
little is kEown," except to the trades,"
observed a prominent tobacco manu
facturer to a Washington Star reporter,
"Is what Is known as the 'flavorer,' the
man who is responsible for the flavor
of all the grades of goods made and
who sees to it. that the flavor is kept
the same year in and year out, it mat
ters not where the tobacco that goes in
them conies from or the conditions un
der which it has grown. Of course to
bacco manufacturers endeavor to use
the same kind of tobacco all the time,
but circumstances at times render this
impossible. -
"As an illustration, our company had
bought up and stored away enough to
bacco to make up all our brands of
smoking tobacco and cigarettes for the
year, when all of a sudden our store
houses were destroyed by fire, and our
stock went out of existence. There
was no more tobacco of that particular
grade to be bought, and we were driv
en into new fields. The tobacco being
raised on a different soil and being
slightly different as far as seed and
stem were concerned, the flavor was
also different. Smokers, and chewers
as well, insist on the same flavor all
the time.
"Here Is where the flavorer comes in.
By bis art and skill he can make to
bacco that grows on low lands taste
and smell the same as that grown on
high lands, lie can make tobacco
grown during a dry season take the
same flavor as that grown during the
rainy season. Tobaccos grown at dif
ferent ends of the same state or in dif
ferent states are by his treatment the
same, as far as the consumer is con
cerned. He draws big money; but,
though he comes high, as the traveling
show companies say, 'we must have
them.'
"As may be imagined, there are not
many who are competent to do the
work; and as a result they range in
salaries all the way from $8 to $10 per
day of about one hour's actual work.
They are employed, however, but about
nine months in each year."

MAGIC AMULETS.
fhoneht to Bring: Good Lnclc to
Their Chinese Owner.
It is the desire of every Chinaman's
heart to possess a pair of magic brace
lets. Arm rings or bracelets are
thought a great deal of in the Celestial
empire, the custom of wearing them
having been handed down from time
immemorial. Usually made of jade
stone, the Chinese arm ring of today
is of one Invariable shape. It looks
like a large martingale.
The Chinese word for jade is ngook
seu and for jade arm ring or bracelet
ngook-ak. The custom In China is to
place the bracelet on a young man's
arm Jqst before the hand stops grow
ing. A tight fit is usually secured, and
once placed the amulet arm ring is
worn throughout life. At dea'th, If the
bracelet has proved a lucky one and
if there is a son whom it will fit, the
bones in the old man's band are bro
ken and the bracelet removed.
Many are the marvelous tales told
by the Chinese of the wonderful quali
ties these amulets possess. There Is a
tradition that a certain Chinese em
peror who was stricken with paraly
sis wore upon his forearm a magic
bracelet, wbioh kept life in that mem
ber for many months and allowed him
to make known his desires and decrees
by writing. At last, when death
claimed the emperor, something even
more wonderful took place. Dead three

A Cruel (Nme Played In the Campi
of Canadian Lumbermen.
So full of peril is the lumberman's
life that even his sports and games
must be spiced with danger or they
will pall upon his taste. On the long
winter nights a cruel game called
"Jack, where be ye?" is frequently
played.
The middle of the largest room In the
camp is cleared. Two men are secure
ly blindfolded and, having previously
drawn lots for the first whack, they
kneel on the floor. In his right hand
each man holds a stout leather strap,
in his left another leather strap, or a
rope is held by the end, either close to
the floor or, in some camps, actually
on it The latter strap, being kept
taut by the combatants, guarantees a
uniform distance between them. They
are quite near enough to hurt each
other severely, which not infrequently
happens,
Now, the man who has been lucky
enough to draw the first call shouts,
"Jack, where be ye?" to which his op
ponent must immediately answer,
"Here I be." Then the first man
strikes 'at the place where he imagine's
his adversary to be with the heavy
leather strap. If he hits his man, he
is entitled to another blow may call
out again, "Jack, where be ye?" and
the other must answer, "Here I be."
This is continued till the first man
misses, when' he must take his turn
at being struck.
The others form a ring around the
two combatants, bets are made, and
each faction encourages and applauds
its chosen man. There are regular
rounds, and the game is usually kept
up until one or the other has had
enough or perhaps till one is carried
off the scene wounded. Hard heads
can stand hard knocks, and volunteers
for the sport are numerous. At the
beginning there is generally no malice.
A hard blow is struck it is expected
it is the game. But it occasionally
happens that the game develops into
a fierce duel. Pearson's.

"This is generally done by placing them
