Last night's Budsn contains a dig ratch from New Tork concerning the cause of Bright'! disease, under the fictitious date of September 20. though the same dispatch appeared ln the As torlan of the 19th Inst The enterprise of the Budget Is exceeded only by Its freedom from imposture. A proof of the reality of McKlnley prosperity Is found In the fact that PU' jrt sound towns are not at all troubled but ar instead overjoyed at the pros pective dumping upon them of the thou sand stranded gold-sekere which the transport Lawton Is bringing from Nome. This number of able-bodied workmen, the Tacoma News declares, will not be enough to meet present demands in the lumber mills and camps of Pusret sound. The green-eyed, monster is having full swing In Tacoma on account of the census returns, which left that uulet little town far behind the .ex- rotations of its pretentious newspa pers. Their vials of wrath were about emptied upon unhappy Seattle, but now Portland comes In for the dregs. The News asserts that "the greater part" of Portland's growth 's due to the ex pansion of Its city limits, and that with the same boundaries as In 1S90 the population of the metropolis of the Pacific Northwest would be only 71,763. Thes figures are obtained by subtract ing th 1S?0 figures for Albina and East Portland from the . total returns for 1900. Now by subtracting the 1S90 fig ures from those given by the News as representing the real population of the city at present, a difference Is found of 31.3S0, which the News would term the legitimate increase in population. According to the News' arithmetician, this is the 'smaller part of the total In crease of 44,041 inhabitants. THE FUTURE OF THE TRANSVAAL New Tork Tribune. The Transvaal war may now be deemed practically at an end. The fact Is recognized by pro-Boer and pro British alike. Whether it be a good or an evil deed, the deed is done. The Orange River Republic and the so called republic of the Transvaal are no more. And the question arises, what Is to become of them in such a status? To that question current developments are supplying an arswer. It seems al together probable, for one thing, that there will be no repetition of the Great Trek. As a matter of fact, the Great Trek has always been overestimated. It was not a universal exodus, nor even the exodus of a majority of the Boers, but of a minority so small that Its departure was scarcely noteworthy. But even so Inconsiderable an exodus as that Is not now safely to be pre dicted. Even if the Boers wished to go, there is no place to which they could go. They are surrounded by Biltlnh and Portuguese territory, and It Is made perfectly plain that they will not be re ceived Into the latter. Germany does not want th'.m ln her southwest African territory. And as for transporting them to the United States, the idea seems preposterous. For the Boers are neither artisans nor farmers, and are not sufficiently flexible In temperament to adapt themselves to either of those occupations. Nor Is It conceivable that men of the Paul Kruger type could suc cessfully enter Into competition with the cowboys of our Western plains. The proverbial fish out of water would be !n a state of ease compared ,w(,lh the Transvaal H.or in the United State. It 'seems probable," then, that' the v. Boon will chiefly remain In their pres ent home, as the vast majority of their kinsmen remained In Cape Colony at the time of the Great Trek and as the French have remained In Canada under British rule; and aa. Indeed.' they them selves now express a general Intention of doing. That will mean that the two provinces v 111. at least for a long time, remain largely Boer In social and poli tical complexion. Just as the province of Quebec remains French to thli day. The Orange State will for a generation or two remain so ln overwhelming measure. In. the. Transvaal the Out lauders will at once be In the major ity, as they were before the war. But they will, as before, be largely artis ans, tradesmen and others dwelling In the large towns and cities. The Boers are the great landowners and are like ly t-i remain so for many years to come. They cannot be made to part with their land against their will. And as the possession of many acrei will hence forth be their only protection against immediate contact with the English and American civilisation so much dis liked hv them, thev will probably hold on to their land even more stubbornly than before. We may, then, look for no great rush to the provinces, and for no great "boom" In South African colonisation as a result of the war. It is far more likely thit there will be at first, and speedily, a return to the industrial con ditions which prevailed before tbe war, with, however, a correction of the op pressive evils that then prevailed. And there will be a steady, but not rapid growth on those same lines. The mines, freed from the' dynamite monopoly and similar vexations, will be developed more and more, and agriculture and other branches of Industry will grow to supply the needs of the great mining communities. Nor is there cause to fear that this growth will be short lived, that the mines will be worked out and the country abandoned. The formation of the commonwealth of Australia and the celebration of the seml-centennlal anniversary of the state of California are present and potent reminders that such was not the case with them. Af ter fifty years the mines are yet no where near exhaustion, while other and general Industries have been developed which are of greater value than placer or lode. Tbe Transvaal has a climate and a soli which promise for It as hap py a future. It Is capable of being the home of a num9rous and prosper ous people ags after the last trace of yellow metal has disappeared from the Rand. ASSESSMENT NOTICE. RADOLLET. JOHN PAUL.... BADOLI.ET.
