not an idle boast.
President Kruger made do idle boast
when be said, after the first blow bad
been s.ruek in the South African war,
tbnt if England should conquer the
Dutch Republicans it would be at a
price that would “stagger humanity.”
Mr. Broderick, Under Secretary for
War, in laying the preliminary esti
C ates before Parliament was forced to
t a |k in an apologetfo wav. He had to
confess that the South African war, the
cost of which at the beginning was
reckoned as only 150,000,000,hadalready
gone beyond 8500,000,000, and whereas
the jolly holiday march on to Pretoria
was to have been accomplished by 20,-
Obi troops in addition to the South
African garrison, no less than 270,000
men have bad to take the field.
Among these the lossos have been ap-
' palling. Under the return "killed or
died of wounds,” there is a list of 11,-
O'.J men. As “wounded,” 13,000 are
reported, while 12,000 more are in hos
pitals in South Africa, ill of typhoid
fever and other diseases.
Then there are 30,000 men who a e
grouped under the head, “returned to
England, sick, wounded, or died on
passage.” In short, some 70,(500 men
killed, wounded or disabled, in order
to give 24,000 Outlanders a five-years’
franchise, instead of a seven years’ !
"Have we not seen the war fever be
fore ?” writes Mr. Graldwin Smith.
“Did we not see it at its height at time
of the Crimean wnr, which is now uni
versally condemned and deplored ?
Even swifter must come the condemna-
tion.of the South African war, with its
sacrifices doubly fearful because need
less.”
England has already paid the price
which Oom Paul mentioned at the be
ginning of hostilities,but this is not all.
She is still paying and doubtless will
continue to do so for months and per
haps years to come if there should be
a genenal rebellion of tbo Dutch in
Cape Colony. The war office in Lon
don is arranging to transport large
bodies of irregular mounted troops to
.South Africa as reforcemonts for Gen
eral Kitehuer, and of course this means
that much more money will be d-ained'
out of the British treasury.
SOUTH AFBICAN SITUATION.
BELLES OF THE CENTURY.
Not since the days of the American
revolution has there been presented so
remarkable a spectacle of the kind as
the fight which the South African
Boers are putting up against Great
Britain.
It seems incredible, with the enor
mous army under the command of Lord
Kitchener, the greatest perhaps which
Great Britain has ever had in the field
that the Burghers would have any
show whatever, and vet with the re
peated successes of Dewet aDd the otb
er Dutch commanders, the feeling is
growing iu some quarters that per
haps after all there is a chance that
the ending of the South African war
may be the same as that of a century
and a quarter ago between England
and her American colonies.
No matter what the result, Dewet
hrs earned for l^imself a high place on
the scroll of f use among the greatest
fighting men of the world. He is the
Stonewall Jackson of South Africa and
higher prai-e can be awarded no gen
era’.
OLD GEORGIA IS A LEADER.
Georgia has led the United States in
textile mill budding during the current
year, with North Carolina a close sec
ond and South Carolina in third place.
The two Carolinas still havo each a
larger number of cloth factories than
Georgia, but the Empire State of the
South is s’eadily forging to the front,
It is not too much to predict that within
the next decade she will equal in num
ber of spindles and looms and amount
of capital invested any of her sisters of
the South, if indeed she does not sur
pass them. Georgia’s liberal laws and
unsurpassed natural advantages cannot
fail to place her in the front rank of the
manufacturing states. Her future is
particularly bright.—Savjinnah News,
It is recorded that of the making of
books there shall be no end. We are
moved to umoud by saying of the mak
ing of books concerning the achieve
ments, and the men aud women con
spicuous in them, of the nineteenth
century there shall be no end.
A book has just issuod from the press
celebrating what ? The virtues of
famous statesmen of the century ? of
writers ? poets ? politicians ? mer
chants ? manufacturers ? lawyers ?
physicians ? clergymen ? yachtsmen ?
train robbers ? Not one of them. But
belles. “Famous Belles of the Nine
teenth Century” is the title of the vol
ume, written by Mrs. Virginia Tatnall
Peacock.
A criticism of the book records that
Mrs. Tatnall has “executed her task
with taste and restraint aud sectional
impartiality,” and also that "her style
is rather pleasantly Southern,’’ what
ever this may mean. We know- people
could talk “Southern," but did not
know before they could write Southern.
Mrs. Tatnall sketches the lives of
Miss Emily Marshall, who was the
beauty of Boston in tho first third of
the century; Harriet Lane, President
Buchanan's niece, who won tho heart
of tho young Prince of Wales; Sallie
Ward, Elizabeth Patterson, Theodosia
Burr, Jessie Benton, Kate Chase, Jen
nie Jeromc(Lady Randolph ChurcBill,)
Mary Victoria Loiter (Baroness Curzon
of Kedleston), etc. .
All the sketches are accompanied by
portraits, and there are more portraits
than sketches.
W hose task will it bo to write of the
‘ Famous Beaux of the Centurv ?”
1 ive out of the nine members of tho
1 sited States supremo court chew to-
baeeo. It is curious to think that nono
°1 the illustrious five could gain en
hance to an A. M. E. Zion conference.
In an address beforo the Y. M. C. A.
iu New York on Monday las*, Bishop
Potter warned his hearers against
tawdriness, especially cheap jewelry,
and then told this anecdote: "A friend
of mine once called on ‘Boss’ Tweed,
and from the floor picked up a diamond
stud as bt£ as one’s thumb. Mr.
Tweed at first dnl not know tbo dia
mond was bis, running his hands over
his white shirt front—the oDly white
thing about him—but finally bo discov
ered the diamond was his in the capac
ity of a snspender bottom” The ap-
positenoss of the warning aud the illus
tration is not exactly apparent. Surely
the Bishop would not advise the good
young men to avoid imitation diamond
suspender buttons by striving to be
come latter-day Tweeds 1

THE SOUTH’S COAL PRODUCT
Alabama and West Virginia Lead In
Tonnage.
Baltimore, Dec. 28 — In its last issue
of the century The Manufacturer’s ivec*
ord says:
Dealing entirely with one mineral,
coal, F. E. Saward of New York shows
that the United States produce fully 32
per cent of the mineral fuel of the world,
with Great Britain a good second. Ho
shows by tables the progress made by
separate states as bituminous coal pro
ducers, by which Alabanm, for instance,
has riseu since 1870 from seventeenth in
rank, with an output of 11,000 tons,' to
fifth in rank, with an output of 8,o00,
000 tons.
As a matter of fact, of tl*> changes in
the production of coal iu the several
sarts of this country, a most notable one
s that of the growth of output in the
south. On this point Mr. Saward says:
** Tho major portion is from Alabama
and West Virginia, aud therein is the
seat of empire of King Coal in the south.
Wherever is the coal, there is the
wealth of the mineral world. The out
put iu the former state is now so largely
distributed for the manufacture of irou
that the renown thereof is heard
throughout the world, while in the sec-
find, one finds such means of transit
offered that the coal is carried to tho
seaboard and’to the western states to
points on the great lakes, and the sev
eral dualities produced in this, the
mountain state, are feeding the furnaces
of oqr navy at points in the Pacific
ocean and workiug tho looms in facto
ries of Italy aud France. In Tennessee
there is an increased output of coal and
the cannel of Kentucky has found its way
ncross tho Atlantic aud to South Amer
ica.”

SCARCITY OF COAL IN FRANCE
Forewarned,
Forearmed.
The liability to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is in good con-,
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
—fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti
tution so weakened that a simple
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion nnd strong, healthy
nerves.
As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S.
has 110 equal. It is the safest and best
remedy for old people and children
because it contains no minerals, but is
made exclusively of roots and herbs.
No other remedy so thoroughly and
effectually cleanses the blood of im-
purities. Atthe
same time it builds
up the weak nnd de
bilitated, and reno
vates the entire sys
tem. It cures permanently all inannet
of blood and skin troubles.

Alurmed ut ‘lie Short Supply.
Philadelphia, Dec. 29.— F. K. JIcIB-
wain, a member of tho American cham
ber of commerce iu Paris, is now in this
city closing negotiations for the sale
coal to the French government. The
order, he saj-s, may reach 200,000 tons.
Tho immediate necessities, covering
principally railroad supplies, he adds,
require 70,000 tons. Mr. Mclilwniu says
he believes a substantial coal trade be
tween this couutry aud Franco will soon
bo established.
He asserts that tho coal supply of
France is 10,000,000 tons short of tho
demaud. This deficiency was made up
almost entirely by England. The great
iudnstrial establishments are becoming
alarmed, Mr. Mclllwain said, at the
possibility of this supply being cut olf
owing to the scarcity of coal iu Eng
land.
