Hinton to the Milwaukee Protestant home for the aged. Why the Tax Is Retained. The republican party will not repeal the special stamp taxe9 which are .so odious and the Bource of so much in convenience simply because it desires to collect as much money as possible between now and the end of the presi dential campaign in order that, it may boast of the enormouB surplus that has been acquired during McKinley's ad ministration.—Atlanta Journal. Here are some of the catchy sayings indulged in during the closing hours of the Federation of Woman's clubBat Milwaukee: The federation spoke of "leaving a mesBage of sympathy for all who have wrought with sorrow-laden hearts of "gratitude to those who have been burden-bearers for the the workers to "all yoke-fellows every where ourc ongratulations for what has been accomplished a "greeting, of good cheer for today and a prophecy of good hope for tomorrow.'.'. Some of the ^Tammany leaders 'got mixed Up in the ice business in New York City, and the democratic "'papers attacked them so fiercely that it issafetosay that they will not cut '"much ice politically for many years to come. That' is the way to treat offi cials who UBB their public offices to pro mote the interests of private corpor ations. Now if the republican news papers of Des Moines would lnvestl gate the connection between some of Iowa's state officials and certain prl vate corporations, and call upon those ... who are improperly using their public positions, to either resign their schemes or their offices, they would be doing for the people of Iowa what the democratic press has done for the people of New York. The constitutional amendment of fered by the republicans for the control of trusts, near the closing days of the recent session of congress, was the poorest political play attempted by the trust party since the commencement of the reign of Hanna. It never had a sincere supporter, and the attempted trick fell ilat. The foibwlhg frank commcnt we extract from a recent editorial inthe Dubuque Globs Journal The Sioux City Tribune reproduces with enthusiasm the New York Sun's statement that the republicans offered the anti-trust amendment with no hope or desire of passing it. This is undoubtedly correct. The amendment had no merit and it is inconceivable that it expressed the honest judgment of the intelligent and experienced men who compose the republican majority in the popular branch of congress. Not War But Uurder in the Phihp pines, Edmund D. Buss, now serving with company H. Forty-fifth infantry in the Philippines, wrote a letter to a friend'in Aurora, 111., in which he says the sol diers enjoy Bhootlng the natives and have order? to take no prisoners. He writea under date_ of_-P«scao,' Luzon,1 jfprll 15, asfollows: k" We leave tonight with oneplatoonfor Pomplona, where there is a band of about thirty-five insurgents, and by to morrow night there will be thirty-five niggers less. The boys would rather shoot a nigger than eat a meal. Our orders are to take no prisoners, and you know what that means—If one gets on his kneeB to you, pull a pistol and put a bullet in his black head or line a svuad up and make the nigger run. He don't get more than fifty yards away when ne is more of a bole than a grugru, by which name they are known here." It seems almost incredible that such terrible and brutal destruction of hu man life could be ordered or tolerated by America^ commanders, and yet, such work is not taking place, why are newspaper correspondents prohibited from telegraphing the news? Why the Apartment House Mwuger Had a Case of the Bines* The manager of the apartment hotiBe, a well fed, well featured, well dressed man, was standing in the main door way of his establishment, which, by the way, is owned by an out of town capitalist, who is not the most generous provider in the world and insists upon the fiat being conducted upon the most economical lines. The manager was not happy, however fair he may have ap peared to the eye, and he heaved along drawn sigh as a friend approached and greeted him. "What's wrong?" inquired the new comer. "Oh, we've all got our troubles I was the vague and lugubrious reply. "You oughtn't to have any." "But I have, just the same." "What, for instanco?" "Well, I'm worried sick because haven't got an elevator boy." "There shouldn't be any difficulty in removing that .trouble, I should say. "There is. I've tried 40 and can* get one to suit." "You must be very haTd to please. •'It isn't that," sighed the manager. "I'm all right, but it's this way: The old man insists on having the -elevator boy wear a uniform, and he furnishes It. Uniforms cost money, and when the last boy retired he left a brand new uniform, and the old man won't get another. That's the rub. I can find plenty of boys of sufficient intelligence, ample experience, industrious habits, good moral character and fine address, but I'll be darned if I can get one that the uniform will fit, and there you have it: Now what the dickens am I to dot Ain't that enough trouble for any one man?"—Washington Star.

They have all retired about twenty-six miles to the northwest. I find our casualties were more than I first thought. They were one officer wounded and two men killed and thirteen wounded." London, June 11.—General Sir For estier-Walker wires to the war office from Cape Town June 10 as follows: "Information received from natives early yesterday reports the enemy in three colmuns near Honing spruit. The railway has been almost completely destroyed between America and Roode val."

SURRENDER NEGOTIATION'S Which-Failed Because General llothn De clined Gen. Uullor'i Terms. London. June 11.—A belated dis patch from Mount Prospect, via New castle, Natal, dated Thursday, June 7, throws light on the armistice agreed upon between the British and the Boers recently. It appears that Gener al Buller met General Christian Botha June 2, at O'Nell's farm, between U111 guela and Mnjubn, and summoned Botha to surrender. General Botha said he was not empowered to accede to the demand. General Buller replied: "Very well." and turned to go away, when General Botha pressed him to make a proposal. Genera) fuller said he bad no pro ifosar to irii ":e, but pointed out that the Boers were surrounded and referred to the uselessness of shedding unneces sary blood. Whatde you want us to do?" asked -General Botha beseechingly. "Retrun to your farms, leave your big- guns, and await Lord Roberts' de cision," replied General Buller. The federal commandant said he would refer the question to the burgh ers. General Buller then acceded to his (General Botha's) appeal for an armlsticeuntil daybreak, June 0, show ing that the Boer reports of General Buller having requested an armistice to have been incorrect. The dispatch adds that the federals arc understood to have twenty-three guns in position, but it Is doubtful if they can remove them. Their only line of retreat Is in the direction of Lydenbuig. London, June 11.—The following re port from Gcucral Buller has been is sued by the war office: "Headquarters in Natal Juno 11.— The force concentrated on the Klip river at its junction with the Gaus vlel last night. We anticipated at that defile a force of the enemy about 3,000 strong, who had, 1 think, intended to occupy It, but retired as soon as our heavy guns were very smartly brought into action by Major May of the Royal artillery and Captain Jones of the royal navy. The South African Light horse and Second cavalry bri gades wore smartly engaged while cov ering our left frout. Our casualties are about six killed and seven wound ed."
