FREELAND, PA., JANUARY 8, 1900.
New Light on the Boer.
From the Philadelphia North American.
British civilization might be better !
for the Boer than his own, which is
said to be indifferent to the bathtub, j
hostile to the barber and careless of
painters and fiddlers and writers of j
books. But such as the Boer's civiliza
tion is he likes it well enough to fight
and die for it. It may not be a civiliza- I
tion calculated to evolve a stock market !
by day and grand opera by night, but it
surely does produce men. The Boer's
hat is queer and his boots coarse, but
how he does stand to his gun!
The Boers are no prettier to look at
than were the farmers who immortaliz
ed Bunker Hill, and their love for the
redcoats is no stronger. And the red
coats under Victoria, let us remember,
are engaged in the same liberty-crush
ing business they failed in on this side
of the water under George 111.
We should keep it in mind that most
of the received statements about the
political and commercial and social
shortcomings of the Boers have reached
lis through British channels. Before
Laing's Neck and Majuba Hill mankind
had it on the same English authority
that every Boer was a coward, and
would flee at the sight of a soldier.
That article of British faith had to be
given up, and there has been substitut
ed for the coward the creature who
doesn't tub of a morning, who speaks a
Dutch dialect, who prefers the rude
comfort of his farm to the glittering
joys of the town, and in general is so
un-English as to be without rights.
Should England fail to steal the j
Transvaal as a result of this war, we
may live to hear Mr. Kipling singing of
the brave and rugged man of the veldt,
whose healthy mind rejects the gauds
of a meretricious and decadent culture
and nobly lays hold on the real things
of life—a grand child of nature, content
with little, worshipping his Maker in
the African solitudes and finding his
virtuous heaven here below in the dear
seclusion of his simple home. It all de
pends upon the point of view.
Trustworthy information as to the
real qualities of the Boer is being shot
into the consciousness of the modest
British people, and into that of the
whole world, too. These African farm
ers put so much brains, as well as valor,
into their fighting that it is occurring
to everybody that tke British estimate
of their place in the scale of intelligence
is sorely in need of revision.
Free Traveling Libraries.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The late Pennsylvania legislature 1
passed an act establishing a Free Li- ,
brary commission. The duties of the
commission aro to give advice and
counsel for the better administration of
the free libraries already established;
to assist in the organization of now free
libraries, and to supervise and inspect
such libraries in the school districts of
the commonwealth except in cities of
the first and second class. The act
further provides that "the commission
shall also establish and maintain, out of
such sums as shall come into its hands
by appropriation or otherwise, a system
of traveling libraries as far as possible
throughout tbe commonwealth. No
member of the commission shall receive
any compensation for his services as a
member.''
The provision for what is called free
traveling libraries, if an appropriation
should be made for its proper main
tenance, would no doubt be of the high
est public advantage. As the puople
cannot all bo brought to the books, it is
a wise thought to carry the books to the
people.
What Advertising Doe*.
No business place, no matter how
pleasing its environment nor how gaudy
its decorations, can survive without
patronage. There can be no support
ing income when there] are few sales,
and there can be little selling where ad
vertising is not invoked to bring custom.
By advertising liberally the shrewd
merchant secures patronage, sells free
ly, and not only maintains his business
but is enabled to culargu it.
CONTR AC TION OF CITIKRNOY.
Lome of the Kvll Kcaulta Certain to
I Follow the I'ropoMoil Currency Luu.
If we were to think of political ef
i fects only we would feel like praying
that the proposed currency bill might
! pass and become a law without delay,
and we might add to that prayer the
1 request that it might become a law by
I tbe solid vote of the Republican mem
bership and that no Democratic ballot
would be east in its favor.
There can be no doubt about what
the ultimate results of the passage of
this proposed measure must be. Any
legislation that shortens the supply of
money among the people; that lessens
the circulating currency or that adds
to the difficulties of obtaining a me
dium of exchange, must bring disaster
to business and distress to the people.
These will bring dismay and defeat to
J the party responsible for that legisla
tion. and it is because we hope and
I pray for that defeat that we would, If
i political results alone were looked to.
' hope for the speedy passage of the bill
just as it bus been presented.
That its enactment into law will less
en the amount of money there will be
j to do busines with its warmest advo
cates admit. Is there a man in the
country, no matter how little thought
i he gives to financial affairs, who does
not realize that to lessen the supply of
money is to cripple business, decrease
j values, destroy confidence and insure
I panics? Are these what we want?
And then as to a legal tender. The
i proposed bill makes no provision for
! this. At present greenbacks are the
only legal tender we have excepting
gold. These, under the provisions of
! the law about to be enacted, are to be
I redeemed and retired. When they are
retired how in the name of all that is
fair to business, or just to the people,
are men to pay their debts? When
greenbacks are not to be had the cred
itor will demand gold, and where is
that to come from?
Today, with ail the greenbacks that
are in circulation and all the gold that
is held by individuals and banks, there
is not enough in any community to pay
the one-fourth of the debts within it.
When one-half of this is retired and
the demand is made for gold alone to
liquidate these debts can any one point
to where it can be had without paying
an enormous premium for it?
And it is to make a premium on gold
that the effort to change the currency
laws of the country is now being made
—to enhance its value and benefit the
few who can own and control it. The
real effects of such legislation may not
be felt at once, but they are as sure to
come as the sun is to shine on a cloud
less day or the waters are to continue
to run down hill. When they do come
they will be the beginning of the end of
the party that was responsible for
them. Mark the prediction.—Bellefonte
Watchman.
CURRENT COMMENT.
We have for generations boasted
that this is the land of the free and
the home of the brave, an asylum for
the oppressed of all nations. Now our
rulers deem it desirable to expand, and
we start out to slaughter a simple peo
ple and take their land for our own.
Isn't this a protty picture of Inconsist
ency for a government boasting of its
Christian civilization?
Philadelphia has secured the Repub
lican national convention, and now she
is trying to have the national head
quarters located there. That would be
strictly in accord with the eternal fit
ness of things, especially if Mark Han
na is to be the chief bottle holder, as
seems likely. He would take to the
Philadelphia method of carrying elec
tions as readily as a duck runs to
water. Pie would find It cheaper per
haps. and no more demoralizing than
the wholesale bribery and intimidation
used to pull McKinley through in 1896.
Yes. by all means let Marcus locate
headquarters and hindquarters, too, if
he likes, in Philadelphia, for many of
the Philadelphia fellows who see a
horrid political specter in Matthew
would take kindly to Mark.
In spite of all the paeans sung to the
goddess of prosperity "murder will
out." A few days ago a Washington
dispatch gave tne information that
Secretary Gage had that day received
telegrams from bankers in all parts of
the country, declaring that a financial
panic was impending, and urging him
to take immediate steps to prevent it.
What was the good Mr. Gage to do?
He knows that we have more money
than we need, because he said so; but
he at once decided to buy bonds to the
amount of $25,000,000, so as to get the
money out of his way simply, and also
agreed to send out $50,000,000 of the
, government's money to be deposited in
national banks. Of course the banks
had no use for it, because, according to
Mr. Gage and his golden crew, we have
all the money we need. But it was
perhaps in Mr. Gage's way. and he sent
it out. When such men as Gage talk
about our having more money than we
need and use that as an argument to
deceive the people into favoring the
single gold standard it is a pity that
the fate which befel Ananias and Sap
phira might not have a new illustra
tion. as the old seems to have lost Its
: effect.
Professional military gentlemen are
the vainest lot of human peacocks on
the face of the earth, showing their
self importance in every movement as
they strut about togged out in tinsel
! and feathers. Naturally they are the
greatest braggarts in existence, and
can make the tamest sort of an engage
ment a heroic and terrible contest, a
brilliant attack or a most gallant
charge. When defeated it is always
overwhelming numbers, and the re
treat is simply a withdrawal in splen
did order. General Methuen in send
ing an account of the skirmish at Mod
der river described it as the "bloodiest
battle of the century," and said he was
confronted by at least 8,000 Boers. It
turned out that the Boer force was but
i 500 and the British loss 73 killed and
i about 400 wounded. Perhaps It was
i blue blood that the general had In
1 mind that made things so bloody, for
a little of that in his estimation would
undoubtedly go a long ways. One
would think from Roosevelt's descrip
tion of the Rkirmish at San Juan that
it was like Methuen's, one of the blood
iest engagements of the world's histo
ry, yet it was but a scratch, with little
loss of life, which might have been still
less had somebody with less dress pa
rade courage and more judgment been
1 in Roosevelt's place.
Beneficent Trusts.
The theory that trusts reduce the
cost of the necessaries of life and are,
therefore, beneficial in their nature,
was sweetly presented in some re
cent public remarks by New Jer
sey's Governor, Foster M. Voorhees,
not long ago. Since the date of the
Governor's remarks the trusts have
got in some of their beneficent work,
and with results that may partly be
summarized in these advances in
prices:
Dressmakers' supplies, 15 to 25 per
cent.
Envelopes, 40 per cent.
Enameled ware. 50 per cent.
Builders' hardware, 45 per cent.
Iron beds, 35 to 65 per cent.
Brooms. 40 to 50 per cent.
Copper wire, 100 per cent.
Chairs, 25 to 33'j per cent.
Furniture, 25 per cent.
Flour, 30 cents a barrel.
Glassware, 20 per cent.
Iron, 100 per cent.
Knit wool, $1 to $1.50 per dozen.
Plumbers' supplies, 30 to 60 per
cent.
Shoes, 10 to 20 per cent.
Rubber, large advances.
Common soap, 25 cents a box.
Spool cotton, 8 to 25 per cent.
Salt, 10 to 15 per cent.
Stoves. 25 to 33 1-3 per cent.
Teas. 10 to 15 cents a pound.
Tinware, 100 to 500 per cent.
Wall paper, 25 to 80 per cent.
These prices are taken from written
reports of authorized agents of the
trusts, and they represent in most
part a purely arbitray advance. The
advantages claimed for the trusts are
the elemination of useless plants, the
reduction of the expense of office sal
aries, economy in labor and fuel and
in buying apd selling, etc. These eco
nomical advantages should work a re
duction of prices tor the consumer,
but insatiate monopoly has pocketed
all the profits accruing therefrom, and
besides advanced prices to tbe utmost
limit of extortion.
It is certainly time for New Jersey's
Governor, Foster M. Voorhees, to over
haul his true catechism and make
some new notes on the subject of the
trust as a beneficial institution that re
duces the cost of the necessaries of
life. —Newark Daily Advertiser.
Control Grain.
Testimony taken for the Congres
sional Industrial Commission in Chi
cago recently threw a flood of light
upon the free silver craze, the fury
against railroads and corporations
generally, and all the other phases of
political eccentricity among the farm
ers of the west and northwest during
the past ten years.
In the most favorable condition the
most of these years would have been
hard because of short crops and small
prices. But. as the testimony showed,
the conditions were made intolerable
by these facts:
That five men have been meeting,
and still meet, in Chicago every morn
ing and decide what the farmer shall
be paid for his grain; that this pur
pose is to maintain the profits of
transporters and dealers in grain, no
matter how low market prices may
go; that, as these men represent and
control all the means by which grain
is sent from the farms to the market,
their decision has been and Is final.
Among these who testified to this
state of farmer servitude was Charles
Counselman, one of the five men who
constitute the Executive Committee
of the "combine."
lowa, through its intelligent railway
legislation, aided by competition, has
been to an extent free from this dom
ination. In spite of hard times lowa
stood firm for sound money and con
servatism. But in general these five
dictators have been goading on the
farmers to unreasoning fury and to
eager reaching after any remedy that
seeins to hold out the faintest pros
pect of relief.
The point is: So long as the grain
trust exists so long will a recurrence
of political lunacy depend only upon a
return of short crops and low market
prices.—N. Y. World.
A Hollow Mockery.
The selfish and criminal policy of
imperialism cares no more for the val
uable American lives which it is sacri
ficing in the Philippines than for the
money of American taxpayers which
it is spending in the effort to crush out
the liberties of the Filipinos. The
price which we have already paid for
that policy is a costly and a bloody
one and the horror and the burden of
it are slowly but surely making itself
felt throughout the length and breadth
<>i lie' country. The Philippine war,
in fuct, is beginning to come home to
many thousands of persons, and to
give practical point and application to
the abstract arguments against it. It
hue been most truthfully said that the
killing of a hundred Filipinos could
not make up for the loss ol' one such
life as that of the brave and dashing
Major John A. Logan, who fell in the
charge at San Jacinto a few days ago.
The regret which is excited by his
death is intensified by the reflection
that his life was sacrificed not only
needlessly, but willfully, by the policy
which has forced the country into a
war of criminal aggression.—Balti-
more Sun.
Hanna Urged to Stay.
Senator Hanna's friends in Wash
ington are responsible for a story to
the effect th.it, white the powerful Re
publican boss personally wants to re
tire from the leadership of the Na
tional Committee, he will not consent
to step down and out in the face of a
hostile demonstration by ids political
enemies. President McKinley is said
to be opposed to the Senator's retire
ment. He believes that the public
would view it as an evidence of weak
ness. He is reported to have person
ally urged the Senator to retain the
place and is confident that his request
will he honored by a favorable declar
ation from Mr. Hanna when the com
mittee holds its next meeting in
Washington in December. —Washing-
ton Spec. Chicago Chronicle.
The cost of the war with Spain and

The enormous cost in life and treas

ing the Philippine Islands will be an
outlay for which there will never be

of America.
STARVING RUSSIANS.
Fight Death With Sleep During the
Long Winters.
From the districts of Popow and of
Pskow comes the news that the pov
erty-stricken peasants of those blight
ed provinces are again alone to begin
their annual struggle with death by
starvation. It is not a new condition
for these unfortunates to face. For
years the crops have been insufficient
, to keep alive the men and women who
| spend their lives in the sowing and
the reaping. Each winter finds many
I victims of starvation, but adds also
| to the experience of these thousands
whose one and only object is to solve
i the problem of keeping body and'soul
: together.
Their only solution of the problem
was found in the example of the low
est orders of animal—hibernation;
and now when the sun begins to fall
the peasants seek forgetfulness of
hunger in the Loska or "winter sleep."
j In the villages and hamlets of those
I districts the men and women and even
little children are busy digging and
I piling up great heaps of peat. The
j little grain left is being ground and
luiked into hard loaves of coarse
I bread, and these loaves are hoarded
I like gold, for they are all that stand
i between the peasants and death be-
I tween now and the spring.
| Around the great oven that stands
I in the center of each poor hut the low
I wooden cots of the family are ar
ranged. The fires are started. There
is almost no ventilation in the huts,
j and that is part of the campaign
against death. The members of the
! family will go down to the winter's
; sleep" and soon lose consciousness.
| One alone of the family will guard—
ito feed the fire. The vigil is a terrible
! one. Around him lie those most dear
jto him. struggling against death.
i Hour after hour the peat —nature's
only gift to these unfortunates is piled
jon the fire. The atmosphere is stif
ling. The sleepers lie in a stupor—
more dead than alive—but at least un
conscious to the awful pangs of hun
-1 ger. But hunger at last manifests it
self. Once each day the sleepers
rouse from their stupor, a crust of the
bread for each is taken from the
board, soaked in water and munched.
The guard is changed, and again the
sleepers crawl back to their cots.
And so day after day, night after
night, the long fight against starva
| tion is kept up—until, at last, the
spring comes, and with it new life and
! new hope.—Correspondent New York
i Journal.
BOERS INHUMAN.
So Writes One Mrs. Rapley of the
Transvaal People.
Mrs. Adrian Rapley, writing jn the
Sketch of a visit to the Transvaal in
| 1891 dwells on the marked incivility
: of the Boers to English travelers. She
j says it was a rare occurrence to re
| ceive even the courtsgy of an answer
while 'trekking" it through the coun
try districts, and it trua almost impos
' sible to obtain food other than that
they carried with them in their ox
carts On one occasion she was even
i refused a drink of water at a farm
j house.
i "If you want water you should bring
it with you," said the farmer. "We
don't encourage- foreigners."
This treatment was the same in the
Orange Free State,
i "Women need be very brave, and
full of pluck and energy," she writes,
j "to stand the roughings of a South
African life. No woman knows what
it moans until she has tried it; and by
'roughing' I don't mean only having
to put up with bad servants, but I
mean having to live where one cannot
get servants for any money, and hav
ing to put up with the shocking way
one is treated by one's fellow farmers,
the Boers.
"Until England shows her strength
we can never expect anything but in
civility and malicious treatment from
that race. Therefore a war, I am sure,
will prove a blessing among the Eng
lish people all over SouthdAfrlca. For
myself. I do not mind, for I shall never
settle there for many months togeth
er; but I feel very greatly for the peo
ple who are struggling to make their
way in the world .and are prevented
from doing so by this selfish, inhuman
race."
Romeo Was Saved.
Mr. Edward Vernon had long had an
ambition to play Romeo, and when the
opportunity did occur, it must be con
fessed that he scored fair success.
The play had traveled smoothly
along to the scene where "Romeo" is
lying dead. Just, as "Juliet" bent
over him in the wild paroxysm of her
despair, before taking her own life,
the object of her passion felt a pre
monitory tingling in his nose.
A sneeze was coming, as sure as he
lived. Suddenly there overspread his
features an expression more agonized
than the stage death struggle had ever
left.
"Teddy, what is the matter?" whis
pered the dying "Juliet," in real alarm.
"I'm going to sneeze," gasped the
j miserable "Romeo."
I "No, you're not, my boy," answered
the determined young woman, setting
I her teeth together. She grasped the
nasal appendage of her lover and gave
it such an unmerciful tweak that he
came near coming to life on the split.
But he didn't sneeze, and his reputa
tion was saved.
An Every Day Pudding.
, An excellent every day pudding may
: be made with a cupful of fruit juice
as a foundation. Bring to the boiling
point one cupful of water and one cup
ful of fruit juice. Dissolve three
tablespoonfuls of cornstarch in a lit
tle cold water, stir into the boiling
sirup and cook ten minutes. Add one
half saltspoon of salt and sugar to
make of the sweetness required. The
quantity, of course, depends upon the
: tartness of the fruit used. Beat the
whites of three eggs until foamy, but
not too stiff, and stir into the pudding.
Turn into a mold and set in a cool
place to harden. Serve cold with a
boiled custard made from the yolks of
the eggs.
What Eggs Are Used For.
Calico print works use 40,000,000
dozen eggs per year, wine clarifiers
use 10,000.000 dozen, the photograph
ers and other industries use many
millions, and these demands inciease
more rapidly than table demands.
A Unique Violin.
A unique violin has been made by a
Missouri man. The back is of cherry
from a table more than a century old,
which formerly belonged to the How
ard-Payne College. In the centre of
the back are inserted twenty-one
pieces of wood from the Holy Land,
one being from a grapevine that grew
in the Garden of Gethsemane. Around
the margin are set in a row small
pieces of wood, diamond-shaped, gath
ered from all over the civilized world.
In one end of the back is inserted a
horseshoe made of castor wood, and
in the other end is the image of a rab
bit carved in cherry. There are in all
over one hundred and fifty pieces of
of wood, and the only tools used in
the manufacture of the Instrument
were a pocket-knife and a half-inch
chisel. —New York Tribune.
Feed Their Soldiers Well.
The British soldier is the best-fed In
dividual of his class" in Europe. He re
ceives for his daily rations 10 ounces
of bread. 12 ounces of meat. 2 ounce
of rice, 8 ounces of dried vegetables
10 ounces of potatoes, and once
week he receives two ounces of sal:
four ounces of co*ee and nine ounces
nf sugar.
This Takes Courage.
I tell you, Burkhart is a man who
has nerve."
"How has he ever proved it? He
has never gone to war or rescued any
body from drowning, has he?"
"No, I guess not. but he isn't afraid
to stay right in the house and face
his wife when she reads the news
from the summer resorts in the Sun
day papers."-—Chicago Times-Herald.
