Heim. i — The public can have little re spect for the Presidential candidate who spent an entire campaign on the stump urging people to vote for himself, and they must have less for one who spent an entire four j years following that failure in asking j to be given a second trial. There is ' a feeling that in a position of this dignity the office should seek the | man, or at least the man is hardly 1 justified in making a five years' per sonal campaign in ids own behalf. —General Puller hns met with utter defeat in his attempt to relieve Ladysinith. Once more the Boers have outgeneraled and outfought him. The capture of Spion Kop, instead of giving the British the key to the situation, gave them merely another another experience of how easily the Boers, with their superior brains, can trap their en emy. Buller has retreated, and is back in his camp beyond the Tugela, leaving, according to Afrikander dispatches, fifteen hundred of his men dead upon the field. England is sunk in dejection and humiliation. The war that was not worth the name, and that was to see a triumphal march through the Transvaal, ending with a Christmas dinner in Pretoria, has seen asuc cession of pride-killing disasters. English prestige is ruined, and the empire is in peril. Since Japan ex posed tin' weakness of huge China the world has had 110 such military surprise. Small wonder that the British people are dismayed and thinking less what they can do to the Boers than of what Russia, Ger many and France may do to them. For the other freebooting nations are quite ready, as opportunity of i fers, to prey upon the British em pire with as good an appetite and as little conscience as the British em pire set out to prey upon the little Dutch republics. Punishment never came upon a people more swiftly and more justly than it has fallen upon the English. The war is a wicked war, waged for the destruction of liberty and the satisfaction of greed. Therefore, at each victory of the Boers, men who love liberty and respect justice have rejoiced. Wherever there is a generous man whose instinct impels him to side with the weak against the strong, there is a friend of the republics whose stalwart citizens in defending their homes and free dom have beaten every English army sent against them and left to 110 Englishman who has fought them arag of reputation. The fall of Ladysmith must fol low Bullers defeat, if the Boers care to have it fall. The situation of the garrison is desperate. Provisions and ammunition is running short and disease is ravaging the army. It may not suit the Boers to take Ladysmith. So far it has proved excellent bait for the British gud geon. It may be that Buller will try again, and so oblige the Boers as he did when he sent Warren up Spion Kop to be riddled. It would be a bold man now who 'should venture to say how the war lin Africa will end. i Toachi-rs' Local Institute nt Soneatown. j Saturday. February 24, 1900. 111 Nature of Child Study; Mr. M. !P.

A very pleasant evening was spent by all. James Cook, while at work in the mines on Monday of last week, slipped and fell beneath a loaded mining car which passed over his j left leg, bruising it and tearing some of the cords loose. He is getting I along nicely at this writing. I Quite a number from this place attended Miss Iloache's dancing re ception at Dushore, on Tuesday evening of Ist a week. The Democrtesa held their caucus in the K. of L. hall Friday evening, and we are safe in saying there was not offices enough togo around. The board of school directors vis ited the schools in this place on Fri day. They found some of them all right while one cr two of them was all wrong.. They also found some of the buildings in bad condition. We think it about time that some one is looking matters up, and we hope the board will do what is right for this place should have one of the best schools in the county for we have the largest number of scholars.
