The EngUslx people, along
with the queen Evidently, are
sick of the Boer war.
Btar-Xng lish War.
Monday morning's dailies, under date
of the 25th, said that the British dead
left on the battlefield the day before
numbered 1,500. It is believed at Lon
don that I this includes the wounded.
The Boers also claim that 1502 of the
flngliah troops surrendered at Spionkop.
From London, January 28, Gen. But
ler's dispatch to the war office 'states
that Spionkop was abandoned for lack
of water, inability to bring artillery there,
and the heavy Boer fire.
Gen. Buller, in a dispatch dated the
27th, gives details of withdrawal of force
to the south of the Tugela.
He says it was done without the loss
of a man or a pound of stores, and adds
this remarkable paragraph:
"The fact that the force could with
draw from actual touch in some cases
the lines were less than 1,000 yards apart
with the enemy in the manner it did is
I think sufficient evidence of the morals
of the troops, and that we were permit
ted to withdraw our cumbrous ox and
mule transports across the river, eighty
five yards broad, with twenty-foot banks
and a very swift current unmolested is I
think proof that the enemy has been
taught to respect our soldiers' fighting
powers."
We see no good reason why the postal
service of country, taken as a unit, could
not be made self-sustaining, at least, or
bring in something of a revenue. There
has for years been great necessity for
reform in the line of -what are called
public documents. Millions of dollars
could be saved by justly decreasing the
number of things printed by the govern
ment, and the price paid for their trans
mission. It is very safe to say that not
one ten thousandth part of the books
and pamphlets printed is read, and why
should the unprofitable and unfair cus
tom be kept up? There are other ways
of economy in public service than by
abolishing what is useful, at the call of
those who would enjoy a monopoly in
consequence. Let the government be
called upon to exercise only such func
tions as cannot be performed by the
individual, and that without fear or
favor. Everything should be done in
the interest of the public welfare. The
conscience of the nation is reflected, at
its best, in the life of its most eminent
citizens; those who are called to do the
business of the nation in various lines
will do well if they comply strictly with
the statutes which prescribe the func
tions and the limits of their official life.
Senator Stewart of Nevada, although
what is called a silverite, is not opposed
to the government, whether or no. The
other day, when one of the senators was
talking about the "unauthorized war,'
Senator Stewart said:
"The legislation increasing the regu
lar army to oo,uuu and autnonzing a
volunteer force of 35,000 men and three
regiments to be organized in the Philip
pines was for the express purpose of
prosecuting the war and of suppressing
the insurrection in the islands. The
war, under the authority of Congress,
has been carried on for about eleven
months, until it is too late to inquire
how the United States became involved
in it. If the inquiry had been made in
February last it might have been perti
nent, but now, after my country has
been engaged in war under the authori
ty of the legislative and executive
branches of this government, and after
thousands of precious lives have been
sacrificed and millions expended under
the authority of the war-making power,
it is my country's war, and the origin or
motive of the war cannot now be ques
tioned. The lives sacrificed and the
money expended in a war authorized by
Congress should preclude any effort on
part of patriotic citizens to prove that
the war was wicked in its origin."
The London Daily Mail says: "The
richest and what was hitherto considered
the most powerful nation in the world
stands today in the humiliating position
of seeing its armies beaten back with
heavy losses at the hands of two email
states. Our ambassadors abroad suffer
ignominy, knowing that Dr. Leyds has
during the past week been received at
semi-official entertainments not only in
Paris, but in Berlin. One would have
thought that Dr. Leyds' reception by
foreign governments was already suffi
ciently suggestive. One would have
thought the time had oomewhen some
attempt should be made to mobilize the
fleet and the remaining land forces in
order that the world may know that,
while bearing our sufferings calmly, we
have no intention of subsiding into a
second or a third-rate power by allowing
foreign intervention of any kind."
Mrs. Henbt C. Mosheb, wife of the
president of the Cresent iron works of
Springfield, Missouri, has organized a
novel society, the purpose of which is to
check harmful gossip. The pledge taken
by each member is that no evil word shall
ever be spoken of any woman. The
society starts out with a large member
ship. There will be no dues and no for
mal proceedings at any of the meetings.
If they are reasonably successful in this
first venture, is it intended that men
shall, after a while, be included in the
list? Or, is it supposed to be an utter
possibility to prevent evil words being
spoken of any man? Will not this
organization suggest a counter one by
the men, in whieh no evil word is ever to
be spoken of any man? Why not? But
why limit the evil word, and why not
say of any man or woman?
Taw tendency of the times is to use
the postofioe and Um freight train for
the carry ingof packages, rather than the
express aarries, because of the eaormity
of prices of the Utter. When flour is
very high in price, people will use more
corn meal, potatoes, etc sad thus
endeavor to make the situation, kind of
saktadjusting.
TnQuuMp, Illinois, police, in a run
ning fire Sataraaj night, killed two
toughs who had on them burglar tools,
skeleton keys, dynamite stacks and
nitro-glycerine. The third man was!

A movement is on foot to have con
gress pass a law admitting parcels of
merchandise to the mail at a very low
rate of postage. Among the arguments
used is the fact that in Great Britain the
postage on parcels is six oenta for the
first pound and two cents for each addi
tional pound up to eleven pounds, which
is the limit, thus making the coat of
sending an eleven pound package thirty-
six oenta. The postal service of the
United States has a deficit now of
$9,000,000 a year for operating expenses,
and that deficit would be two or three
times larger if such a law was enacted,
and the people would pay the shortage.
It is a scheme of the big department
stores of the larger cities to ruin the
trade of the country merchants. So
says the Lawrence, Kansas, World.
Representatives Burkett and Stark
of Nebraska called on Admiral Dewey
Wednesday and invited him to visit
Beatrice, Neb., next Fourth of July, on
the occasion of the Chautauqua meet
ing. The Nebraska members were most
courteously received by the admiral,
who assured them that it would afford
him great pleasure to accept their invi
tation. All additional details will be
settled by correspondence and personal
conferences between the members and
the admiral.. The admiral spoke in ad
miring terms of the record made in the
war by the Nebraska and western regi
ments and expressed a warm desire to
make the trip.
