o lief hobby is civil service reform, and
we cannot readily put aside the convic-
t.on that the man who gave six of the
most interesting years of his life to the
attempt to make theory accord with
practice in that reform Will not throw
up his hands to the men who once re
garded his efforts with amusement, now
that Providence has placed him in a
position to dictate where once he could
simply recommend.”
SHALL THE RANSOM
BE HANDED OVER?
Subscribers are requested to promptly notify
t*ie business office of late delivery, failure to
o-»rry papers to porches or failure to deliver
with absolute regularity on the part of the car
riers. Such notification Is the only means of
k lowing of the existence of any cause for oom-
pi tint, and will be appreciated accordingly.
SIDELIGHTS ON
THE BOER CAMPAIGN.
Lord Kitchener has quite a problem
on his hands in South Africa to provide
food not only for his 200,000 men but
for the Boer women and children.
A London correspondent gives some
interesting facts on the situation, and
states that the Boers can absolutely cut
off supplies from the British by train
wrecking, but are in many cases deterred
from doing so on account of the danger
of starving their own women and chil
dren in the concentration camps. He
The Pittsburg Leader reports that
Mrs. A. H Clallin. who is one of the
most active workers in missionary inter
ests in Allegheny, is of the opinion that
it is wrong to raise a large sum of ran
som money to release Miss Stone, who
is being held by the Bulgarian bandits
She says: “If we pay a ransom of
$100,000 in this case, how long will it be
before another missionary will be seized
and another ransom demanded? It is
an awfnl fate for Miss Stone, but even
if her death were certain she is prepared
for it and it would be better than to
invite the same end for all onr mission
aries.”
It seems to be a pretty hard-hearted
way to settle this question, to abandon
Miss Stone to her fate. Perhaps it
would be best to pay the rausom
then make it so hot for the villains that
no further attempt along this line would
ever be made.
“The Boers know perfectly well that
a permanent damage to the railway
communication would mean starvation
for their wives and families. They also
know that the inmates of the concentra
tion camps would bo allowed to starve
first, the army afterwards. There have
been many cases daring the last months
of the war when train-wrecking com
mandos, while deliberately destroying
the line in order to secure supplies of
arms and ammunition for themselves
have allowed the supply trains for the
concentration camps to pass unmolested.
In fact, certain sections of the line have
course without official sanction—with
the train-wrecking commaudos. It lies
been an understood condition bet wet n
the drivers and guards and the train-
wreckers, that ak long as certain sup
plies, such as coffee, sugar and flour
were dropped at certain convenient
spots on the line, that particular section
of the line should not be tampered with.
And these burghers have never once
broken faith when the conditions have
been complied with.”

THE NEW SOUTH
IS A MISNOMER-
Ei Got. Hob Taylor does not take
mncli Btock in the "New South" talk.
He says :
"They tell ns now that it is the new
south, bat tho same old blood runs in
the veins of those old veteraus and the
same old spirit heaves their bosoms and
flashes in their eyes; the same old soldiers
who wielded the musket long ago are
nursing their grandchildren on the
knees, and teaching them the same old
lesson of honor and troth, and the same
old love of libet ty. The mocking birds
sing the same old songs in the same old
trees, and the same brooks leap and
langh down the same old hollows. We
till the same old Helds, and drink in the
same old springs and climb among the
same old rocks and fish in the same old
streams. It is the same old sonth and
we are the same old southern people.
There may be skies as blue, bat none
bluer.
There may be hearts as tree, but none
truer.
"It is the same old land of the free
and the same old home of the free and
the same old land of the brave. It is
the same old sooth resurrected from the
dead with the prints of the nails still in
Its hands and the scars of its spears still
In its side.
THE PRESIDENT’S
CIVIL SERVICE VIEWS
There are rumors that Henry Watter-
son is to make the race for governor c f
Kentucky in 1903 and then try to secuie
the democratic presidential nomination
in 1904.
We have no objection to the demo
crats of Kentucky nominating Wafcttr-
son. That is their business, not our?.
But when it comes to a proposition to
nominate him for the presidency, we
e.iter our protest.
Col. Watterson has seen his best days.
He is in our judgment one of the most
erratic men in the country. The dem-
««*» Hn Hotter than select
such a candidate for the presidency.
We have no idea the subject will ever
bo seriously considered, but should it
be, the democrats of the country should
promptly sit down upon it.
Every Exertion a Task
: Every Care a Burden
There is failure of the strength to
do anJ the power to endure; there is
weakness - all ever" that is persistent
and constant.
The vital functions are impaired,
food does not nourish, and the whole
system is r^n down.
A medicine that strengthens the
