THE AFRICAN WAR.
It was expected last week that the
English tleet would occupy Delagoa
Bay, (on the East coast, and owned by
the Portugese), as recruits, arms, and
munitions for the Boers, forwarded
from Europe by Kruger's agent in
Paris, Dr. Leyds. were being disem
barked thert.
The Boer accounts of the battle at
Ttigela river placed their loss in killed
ami wounded at but thirty. The Boers
withheld their fire until the English
were within ritle range when they open
ed upon the English with both rifles
and artillery, and quickly defeated
ihem. After the battle the Boers ad
vanced to a new position, and fortified
it.
The holiday season was a mockery in
Great Britain, this year. In thousands
of homes there was mourning for dead,
wounded or captured relatives, and in
thousands of more homes there was the
dread of worse slaughter.
The Boer newspapers printed, under
the date of Boer Headquarters. Colenso,
Dec. 15, an account of the defeat of
Gen. Buller, which, in concise, unboast
ing language, confirms the English
version It gives in a few words a vivid
picture of the wasted valor of the
British infantry. "Onr Mauser
fire was so tremendous that they rolled
back like a spent wave, leading ridges
and ridges of dead and dying humanity
behind them. Again they advanced to
the attack and again they fell back,
swelling the heaps cf the dead. The
veldt for miles around was covered
with dead and wounded."
<Jn Christmas day the English army in
and about Ladysmith and the Boer army
around them were in sight of each
other, no firing was done that day, and
they enjoyed Christmas cheer with the
mercury 102 in the shade. Nobody was
food for powder that day and the only
English that ate dinner in Pretoria were
prisoners.
Winston Churchill escaped from Pre
toria, and after many adventures reach
ed the town of Lorenzo Marquee, on Del
agoa bay, and went from there to Dur
ban, and to Buller's camp.
During last week the English cruisers
in Delagoa bay seized three cargoes of
flour shipped from America in ships
flying the English flag; and followed
that by seizing a German steamer hav
ing on board three German officers and
twenty men who intended enlisting in
the Boer armyf The latter vessel was
sent to Durban to be passed upon by
the prize court.
()n ■ Monday, Gen. French with an
English division out flanked the Boers
near Colesburg in Cape Colony, and
captured the town.

(From Oor Own Correspondent.
Hnrrisburg, Jan. 2. —The year that
has just dosed lias been the most mo
mentous ever known in the history of
Pennsylvania politics. It has been a
silent witness of the downfall of one
of the most corrupt political machines
that ever disgraced any state in the
Union. It has likewise witnessed the
foundation laying of a new element in
the old Republican party; a foundation
upon which will be built a magnificent
structure to the glory and honor of the
party.
The perpetuation of Quayism. which
Is synonymous with bossism, will be
impossible in any shape after the pres
ent year. Ex-Senator Quay cannot re
turn to the United States senate. His
own friends concede this. The cor
rupt element of bribers, ballot box
stutters, rej;« at era and all the long
train of heeler.: that have profited by
the control of tne machine will be
swept away. The young man of lte
publitun parentage and heritage will
no longer have to bow the knee to the
machine to obtain tavors and smirch
his own manhood for a political posi
tion.
A GREAT WORK.
The work that lias been accomplish
ed has cost thousands of dollars and
days and nights of toil. The machine
sleeps not, and knowing this those
who undertook to fight it resolved to
not relax vigilance nay or night while
the contest was on.
The principal event of the year was
the failure of Senator Quay to have
himself re-elected to the senate. After
that came the exposure, arrest and
indictment of the bribery conspirators
jn his interest at Harrisburg. The es
cape of Senator Quay in his trial,
through the action of his attorneys
In pleading the statute of limitations,
was another feature of this memorable
year. The appointment of Mr. Quay
to be United States senator by Gov
ernor Stone and his signal failure to
gain admission to the senate was a col
lateral piece of evidence showing the
desperation and failure of the machine.
The attempt to force a machine candi
date on the state ticket against the ad
vice of wise leaders and the subsequent
Withdrawal of the candidate, the expos
ure of a conspiracy to stuff ballot boxes
in Philadelphia, the arrest of the gang
of repeaters, some of them government
employes from Washington, and tlin J
arrest of Representative StlltMl Sal- I
ter, a Quay leader and the deputy cor- j
oner of Philadelphia, for ballot fraud, I
and the further revelation of rotten- j
ness in machine wards In Philadelphia
were a few of the startling political ep- J
Isodes of the past year.
As for the year of 1900 It opens aus
piciously for the enemies of the ma- ,
chine, the foes of boss domination in
Pennsylvania politics. They are or
ganized, aggressive and courageous.
They have perfected an admirable or
ganization, and by the time this letter
reaches its readers the active work of
the next year's campalcn will have be
gun. It is the purpose to establish per
manent working headquarters in Phil
adelphia and keep in constant touch
With every county in the state. I
THE MACHINE S MONEY.
The machine has in the past had
practically unlimited resources. There
was the state treasury, the trreat cor
porations. the army oT officeholders and
others rontrHstio to swell its cor
ruption fund. An orgarizatlon to fight
the machine and it* v. ea'.tta i:r - t have
money, and <• :. eQuently a substantial
fun-! has IN M Ntttd to carry on tfc<L
work >if the a.iti-Qray. anti-zr.achlne
organization. H g»'>'.i a rued into th*»
fight It toes iu to win. It goes into
the combat with no tho.it.ht of defeat,
and to remain to the end
If any reader of these letters during
the past year Las doubted the truti of
any stateiLJUts made concerning the
progress of the fight against the ma
chine or the character of the corrupt
work conducted by the machine he has
had. sinae then, absolute evidence that
what was published then is true now.
These letters early in the year predict
ed the failure of Mr. Quay. They fore
shadowed the bribery conspiracy. They
prophesied the organization of a new,
permanent and triumphant bpdy of
honest Republicans, who would fight
the machine to the bitter end. All these
things have come to pass.
In entering upon a new year the
promise is made that the truth ciui
nothing but the truth will be told
about the £reat political transforma
tion that will go on In Pennsylvania
There is no object in writing false
hoods about men or events. Sooner or
later the truth will become known
and the author branded as a fabricator.
The false prophesies and the boast
ing of the Quay newspapers are known
by all honost men who have read them.
The repeated statements that "Quay
will be elected" and their assertions
that the "Insurgents are on the run"
were all so much vaporing. They will
go on in the same strain during the
present year.
But the truth will prevail, and that
truth is that the machine, corrupt,
merciless and shameless. i« tottering
to Its downfall; that the present year
will see the total elimination of M. S.
Quay from Pennsylvania politics and
the re-establishm#!it of the Republican
party, the party of Lincoln. Grant and
Blaine, in the hearts of the people.
AGUINALOOS wife and sisters were
captured by the 28d infantry at Bontoc,
near Manila, a few days ago.
A ('aril of Thanks.
I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks
to my friends and neighbors for their
kindness and sympathy during the last
sickness of my husband. Albert L. Shra
der.
