The World-Herald today presents a facsimile of the press cutting of an
article that appeared in the Belfast Northern Whig of April 26, 1900. This
article must be interesting to the many republicans who have so far re
fused to believe that the McKinley administration was partial to Great
Britain. It must not be forgotten t hat It Is admitted that "the great vol
ume of American sentiment is on the side of the Transvaal." Then it Is
said: "WE MIST ADMIT THAT TO STAND BT VS. A8 PRESIDENT
MKINLEYB CABINET UNDOUBTEDLY DOES, NOTWITHSTANDING
AMERICAN BELIEF THAT THE EQUITIES OF THE CONTROVERSY
ARB AGAINST US. FURNISHES PROOF OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY
OF FRIENDSHIP. NOR HAVE WE ANY KIND OF DOUBT THAT, IF
, THE LIFE OF THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION IS TO .BE EX
TENDED. PRESIDENT M KINLEY AND HIS MINISTERS WILL NOT
FAIL, shouid the need for It arUe, TO GIVE EVIDENCE OF THAT
FRIENDSHIP."
Then the British public is warned that If anything favorable to the
Boers should be uttered by the republican convention or by republican lead
ers it will not be significant, for, this British authority predicts "THE RE
PUBLICAN PARTY WILL BE COMPELLED BY THEIR OPPONENTS TO
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS FAVORING THE REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLE IN
GOVERNMENT."
, And yet republican politicians of today boast that theirs is the party
of Abraham Lincoln! Think of it. the party of Abraham Lincoln "COM
PELLED by their opponens to adopt resolutions favoring the REPUBLI
CAN PRINCIPLE in government:"

DEATH OF THE ORANGE FREE STATE REPUBLIC.
04
PEACEFCL BLOEMFONTEIN.
: If Bloernfontein, the capital of tbe ;
: Orange Free State, hadbeen nettled ;
: by Englishmen Inatead of by Dutch- :
: men. It might have been named :
: Sleepy Hollow, from Its position and :
: the quietude It aas to take on. In- :
: stead of teceivlng its name from the
: flowing founain. Nothing hurries
: in Rluemfontcin, not even the sun in
: his course through the fiery mld
: summer heavens. Folk there get up
: early in the morning, do a little
: work, lay off till midday, and quit
: before the middle of the afternoon
: Is reached. There's only one high
; way, and on it nothing can be Been
: that by stretching the language to
: the utmost can be called buntle or
: hustle. The town In like an oaxln
: in the desert. Round about the veldt
; is flat, dull, parched and monoto
nous. An undulating plateau, cur
rounded by low hills, the township
llitelf ia a fertile little garden. In
which nearly everything flourishes
with the least poanlble amount of
trouble. Ita roues aie famous, no are
its vegetables, and Its mealies over
top those of the surrounding coun
try by half a foot.
There are about 7,000 whiten In
Uloemfonteln. and perhaps half that
number of native. The town in
about 4.500 feet above tea level, and
the climate Is soft, balmy and In
vigorating In the extreme.
The Orange Free fitate, which a a
republic braved the sturms of nearly
half a century. Is free no longer. It
has sacrificed its liberty and In all hu
man probability Ita life to the creed
that blood is thicker than water.
The Free Slaters had no quarrel with
the Uritinh. The two peoples had been
on amicable terms for years. The au
tonomy of the mate had been grunted
by the Brltlnh without even a request
upon the part of the Orange River
Boers, and their republic might have
lived on and prospered Indefinitely. But
the Free State Boera responded to the
:ry of kinship Just as the Cape Dutch
jenired to do, and their devotedness hu
st them their country. In all the
history of the civilized world there Is
no other cane in which an entire nation
Has Immolated itself for a caune In
which It had no substantial interest.
It waa In 18ut that the Free State
was organlxed. As in the case of the
Trcnavaal Boers, the euny settlers had
trekked from the Cape Colony, because
the abolition of slavery, had left them
without the labor by which their fatmn
had been maintained. They settled to
:he north of the Orange river, and aoon
Hintracted quarrels with the native
a ho surrounded them. One of these
xlbea was that of the Orlquan, who
were protege of the British crown, and
hen war broke out between these Ha
lves and the Boers, the British sent
in expedition "to restore order." Thl
as accomplished after a brink flgttt
llh the Boers at Zwart Kopjes, and
.hereafter the British maintained a res-
dent commissioner to "preserve the
eace.
In I8t8, however. Governor Sir P.
Mailland declared that in order to keep
.he peace It would be necennary to in-
lex the whole country, and this was
lone. A considerable number of the
Joers, however, took up arm In de-
enne of the liberty which they loved
10 well, and a short, sharp encoufSier
tnsued, which ended In a victory for
he British.
Nevertheless the troubles with the
latlvea continued, and at last the Bru
sh declared war against the Basutos
uid with the Boers defeated them in
he battle of Berea.
Having obtained the submission of
:be chief and made a treaty with him
in the part of the Boern, the British
'esolved to withdraw and leave the Cr
inge river residents to develop their
rountry and fight their own battles
o the bent of their ability. This has
Ken called "a shameful denertlon," and
rertalnly It proved dlnpleaning to very
nany of the Boers, for they sent a dep-
ilation to England to ank for the con-
lned support of the British arms. This
a republic of their own for the year
1H4. with Jonas Philip Hoffman for
president.
The British had do dislike for the
Free Statera There was nothing in
their country that they wanted, and
those Britinhera who lived there auf
fered under none of the disabilities
which had so irritated the outlanders
In Oom Paul's country. All white men
born In the Free State, or resident in It
four years, were entitled to vote, pro
vided they owned 1750 worth of land,
or aid tl HO rent annually, or ponnesaed
$1,600 worth of personal property, or
an Income f 1 1.000 a year. The only
legislative body was a Volkeraad, with
0 members, and residents of foreign
birth were eligible for it. A president
was elected every five years, and wai
ansinted by a legislative council of five
members, Including the government
secretary and the magistrate of the
capital, ex-offlclo, and three membern
appointed by the volknraad. The pren
Ident had no power of veto.
The laws of the land have been codl
fled and were adminlntered by excellent
judges and magistrates. Dutch was
the offMal language of the state, but
there was no bun against the English
language, such aa existed In the Trana
vaal. All burghers between sixteen
and sixty were subject to military duty
and were supplied with guns at cost
price. Training camps were frequently
held. A corps of mounted police, 152
strong, was maintained for the sup
pression of cattle thieving. The laws
governing insolvency, marriage and the
registration of deeds were very strin
gent, and were modeled on those of
Cape Colony. Since 1S83 no liquor li
censes had been granted to persons
living outnlde of towns and the sale of
liquor to negroes has been absolutely
prohibited.
The utmost personal ireedom consist
ent with good governmnt was taught
in the schools and colleges, and wa
permitted In the courts. There wan no
interference with public meetings, such
as the Johannenburgers complained of.
No charges of corruption were ever lev
eled against the government, such as
thone which have been directed against
Kruger's administration. In the Trans
vaal, with a white population of only
245.000, the government collected and
spent more than 120.000,000 a year, of
which nearly .,".,000.000 a year went for
salaries to Boer officials. The Free
State collected only $2,000,000 a year
and apent but $1,900,000, of which only
$250,000 went In salaries.
: WITH A SCOTCH TWANG.
; I
: All through the Orange Free State
: is heard the Scotch twang. This ia i
: particularly noticeable at the capl- :
: lal. Many members of the volks- i
: raad are of Scottish descent, as auch :
: frequently recurring names aa Fra- :
: ser, Macfarlane, Stuart, Masintnsh :
: and Innes abundantly testify. The ;
: talk In the Parliament house ia offl- :
: dally In Dutch, but there ta a braw :
: twang about much 4 f It which aug- :
: gests that It has been acquired on :
: the banks of the Tweed or there- I
: about. :
: The Orange Free State ta cut off ;
: from the ocean on the south by Ba- :
: sutuland and tne vast extent of ;
: country known generally aa the :
: Cape of Good Hope. All Is British, :
; and In the southern part of which :
: is the particular region called Cape :
: Colony. The whole Cape of Good :
: Hope territory la not as large as :
Texaa. Basutoland, in the middle or :
: thp southeast border of the Orange :
: Free State, is equal to Vermont in :
: area. It la a British colony. :
: Along the northwest border of the :
: Orange Free State lies Grlqua Land :
: West, which Is a part of the exten- :
: sive country known as Bechuana- :
: land, all of which Is on the went and :
: north, and la generally caUed British :
: South Africa. :
ir tne rree state should become an
Integral part of the British empire It
will add to It an area of 45,000 square
miles. Including a tract 100 mllea long
and 30 miles wide which In nald to be
the greatest wheat producing country
In the world. For forty yearn, without
the stimulant and saving elements of
modern farming. It has produced crops
of from sixty to eighty bushels an acre.
The rent of the country la compara
tively arid, and suitable for little else
than gralng. The farms number 10.4ffS.
with a total of 30.000,000 acres, of, which
at the last census. In 1890, only 250,000
acrea were cultivated. In the name
year there were 248.887 homes In the
state. 276.073 oxen, 619,000 other beantn
of burden, C.400.000 aheep, 858.000 goats
and 1,41 ostriches In captivity.
The production of diamonds In 1890
was valued at $1,100,000. In 1897 the
production had about doubled. Gar
nets, coal and gold are also found. The
Imports of 1897 were fl.23l.69D, and the
exports $1,792,242.
In 1889, at a time when the relation
of the Free Slate with the British gov
ernment were mont amicable, a cun
toma union was entered Into with the
Cape Colony, and the Cape government
agreed to build a railroad through the
Free State at Its own enxpenne and
rink, and that the freight tariff should
be mutually agreeable. Half the profit
were to go to the republic for neven
ara refused, however, so they formed i years, and the republic had the option
of taking over the road at a stated
sum permlle. This road was opened In
15192, and for several years profits of
$800,000 annually were divided, owing
largely to the traffic to and from the
Rand. The gross profits for the year
1897 were $2,500,000. Payment for new
lines, additional works, etc, amounted
to $1,500,000, leaving a balance on Jan
uary 1. 1898, of nearly fl.000,000. The
railway lines are 366 miles In length
and coat $12,500,000. All theae road .
were taken over by the state govern
ment In 1898. There are also In the
Free State 1,862 miles of telegraph, line,
with 2,700 mllen of wire, and all these
the British will take.
Previous to the unhappy war which
will probably transform a flourishing
republic Into a mere crown colony, the
Orange Free State' occupied an Ideal
position. There was no freer country
anywhere. There was no country
where the government was more ab
"Here,' nald President Steyn In hl
Inaugural speech "Here we have the
Free State, Inhabited by a people who
have shown themselves capable of cop
ing with all the difficulties which an -unexpected
change In their history cre
ateda people In whom Ilea the mak
ing of a great nation. Here we have
rained the banner of republicanism, anl
will continue to uphold It, From all
quarters strangers are coming to un.
Is It not a glorioua task to Incorporate
these strangers with us and amalga
mate them in one republican people?"
And thin wa no empty theory, for
the Free State wan accomplishing that
very thing. While Kruger at Pretoria
was making taws for the protection cf
his countrymen Steyn and his prede
cessors admlnintered the government In
such a way as to make the foreign bom
burgher love their adopted country aw
well, or better, than the one they hail
left. The British born burghers did not
prove the traitors that Oom Paul al
ways feared they wouid be to hla coun
try, and when Stewart Cumberland de
scribed Bloernfontein a few years ago
he did so Indignantly, denouncing the
inhabitants because they regarded It
an the mont desirable spot on earth.
and declaring In a passion that the
Britlnh residents were no longer Brlt
lnh. "Anti-British Britishers," he called
them.
So with the Interior British devoted to -,
the country and the exterior British
quite friendly to it, there seemed to the
outsider no cloud upon the Free State's
horion. Then came the growth of the
"forward party." the enthusiasm for
the Transvaal caune, and at last the
war.
So the history of the Free State was
char ged, and the end of the republic
came to pass.

while standing at the switchboard and
b If ting the lodes from one of the large
Jynamos to another, preparatory to
tartlng a new muchine needed to meet

tall. Thirteen hundred volts passed
through hla body.
Farnsworth In decsrlblng his experi
ence said: "The Instant 1 caught the
lire wires I could feel my rauacles con
tract like whipcords, and a quivering
sensation pssaed through me. Of course
was unconscious almost ss quick aa a
flash, 'and fell to the floor.
'fortunately for me, Frederick Mur-
mann, (he assistant engineer, was para
log the place juat aa the accident oc
curred, and ran in and shut off the
current. , He says 1 was lying on the
our, and had ceared to breathe. Blood
wss running nut of my nostrils and
ears, and my cheat wss distended so
for that he snd the physician that wa
raited had lo put their knees upon it
anl puah It back to the nstursl place.
In my opinion I owe my life to my
prompt discovery after the accident,
if am quite certain I would hare been
dead If srtlnclal respiration had mil
hipn resorted to at once. It Wss while
thin respiration wan going on that 1
became conncloun. My body was cold,
and for a few minutes I didn't feel any
sensation. .Then my hands began to
burn and my head to pain me where It
had been brulned."
"Do you think that an execution In
Sing Hlng prison could produce a much
greater pain than the shock you re
ceived?" Farnsworth waa anked.
"I would not like to say positively
