The Boers are still pushing on in
to Cape Colony, notwithstanding the
persistent efforts of Lord Kitchener
to slop them. The last reported
movement was into territory not be

The adjourned session ot the Re
publican county convention will be

The medical authorities of Santia
go, Cuba, report that there has not
been a ease of yellow fever reported
there since Dec. 1899 The sanitary

There has not been a year before

France and Turkey have parted
company and the present prospects |
are that they will chaw one anothers
neck. Turkoy has appealed to Prus
sia to mediate between them, but
the Kaiser’s reply was to “pay up
and keep out of trouble.” There
seems to he good prospects for an
other show for the Missouri mule.
“The fellow that Rocks the boat,”
got it in the neck at Hancock, M. I>.
last week. He was a young man
from Penna., by the name of Rine
hart, and was on pleasure bent on
the broad Potomac. The lunatic
could non resist the damphoolishness
that pervaded his entire carcass but
had to rock the boat, which contain
ed ladies, just to scare them of
course. One young lady was thrown
out and drowsed, and a coroners
jury has placed an indictment, after
his name upon the court records, of
“murder in the first degree.” May
they make it stick. Tis’ hard on
his relatives, hut when there is a
fool in the family the quicker the
i Lord takes him the better.
The municipal and great private
improvements now underway in New
York city, according to the Scien
tific American, would aggregate
nearly $700,000,000. Three im
mense bridges now more or loss un
der way across the East river and
which are municipal affairs, will cost
$20,000,000 each and one across the
Nor!b river, now under •ontempla
tion, will cost $i>0,0C0,003 and is a
railroad structure. The three first
will have a span of 1,500 ft. each
and are highways for the general
public and street railway. The lat
ter will be one of the wonders of the
age, and has a sp n of 8,100 ft- and
will bring the western systems of
railroads into the city, instead oi
having to transfer all passengers and
freight across the river as at piesent.
The commercial and industrial acti
vity in the United States during the
past half decade surpasses the wild
est hopes of the boomer. The ques
tion is how long will it continue and
what will the end be like.
Hartley is back in the pen and
Governor Savage has said by his ac
tions that the parole was a mistake
Generally speaking we have no ceu
sure for the governor, yet while we
believe that evil doers should be
punished we can t help thinking
that Hartley has received a suflitien
cy, provided he reimbursed the state
to the last farthing. Four years in
penitentiary garb, to a cultured man,
means many living deaths, while the
stigma that would follow him through
the balance of his years even lie was
free, could but add torture to his
declining life. We are poor seekers
after revenge, and when justice is
meetedout the world should he con
tent. Bartley, now, is a sacrifice
upon the aiiar of politics, and his
hurried return to a prison home vir
tually compelled by the action of the
Republican convention, is more the
result of an inordinate desire upon
ihe part of some would be leaders to
crush the future ambitions of Gco
ernor Savage than to extend punish
uient for a crime sufficiently expiat
ed if the money was returned. “Yen
gence is mine" sayeth the Lord.
