A Houston, Texas, mill man has been almost paralyzed by the receipt of an er.qiiiiy from the city of Mexi co for the billion feet ot lumber, more stuff than is to be found today ia all the yards of Texas, Louisiana and Aikansas, equivalent to the out put of three hundred mills for seven months. Iiut the Texas uiu is not to be bluffed. He is making airange ments to negotiate for tho whole order. That fhows two things: The magnitude of the lumber interests of the South and the nerve of the Southern lumberman. Mobile Reg ister. The Texas man can fill the order, and plenty more like i'., in Oregon, if he Kill put up the mills, says the Statesman. Here, in the Cascades and in the Coast range of mountains, are virgin forests that will make lumber by the billion feet and good lumber; belter for mcst purposes than. can be found iu the South. There is bound to be great activity in the Oregon lumber busine;s, and thai in the near future. Its devel opment has only just begun. The big railroads of the East, and other Eastern consumers i f lumber, have scarcely jet leurued of the excellence of quality and the abundance of the supply. They are taking all of it they can get. and they will take more as last as the mills are put up to saw it. the war may bring to the African continent will depend not only on whether the victory goes lo England or to tae Boer allies, but also on w hether the lloers In England's own territory Join, their brethren iu the field. A lirilisU victory, if it comes, will probably wipe out tho inde pendent existence not only of the South African ItepuMic, but of the Orange Fiee Slate. If the Afri kanders of the rest of the continent fiht against England to any import ant extent there will be a strong tempUtton for England, in the gen eral political adjustment at the end of the war, to erect new political and administrative divisions of teriilory. ami to abolish, temporarily at all events, some of the privileges which tho people of that territory now possess. Nobody need look for intervention by any of the other powers unless the war should last longer than any one now looks for, but there is much jealously of and hatred toward Eng land on the continent of Europe, and a long war might incite some coali tion against her. The effect on geueial business which the war may exert will also largely depend on the war's result aiid duration. If Eng land wins, ami wins quickly and the majority of unbiased persons through out the world probably believe she will the effects of the conflict, be yond a temporary flurry on the speculative exchanges nt the outset, and the temporary suspension in the outflow of gold from the Transvaal, are not likely lo be serious.

Neither party to the conflict is as well prepared ss it wants to be, but the unprepsredness is greater on England's side than it is on that of its opponent. Further tlelay would help England and hurt the Transvaal. Double the number of Iiriiish soldiers now in South Africa will be on hand by two or three weeks from this dale. Mani festly the Boers' chances for a suc cessful resistance are better today than they could be when the 20,000 or 30,000 extra tioos arrive from England and its possessions. At the outset in ihe struggle sev eral questions in connection with it will suggest themselves to the world. What will he, the immediate result of the war? Whtt will be its ultimate consequences on the politics of the African continent i How will it effect the attitude of the other great nations toasrd England? I inally, what influence will it have on the world's business condition ? Each of these queries is rather difficult to answer wiih any confidence. ft would aeeru that the vast British empire ought to lie nble to crush lh'; South African K public and the Orange Erie Stale iu a few months at the outside. In the war of 1880-5(1, when the Boers were vidirilfitis, Gladstone, a man of eiice, who was also opposed to the imM-rial idea, was at the head of the Bntisb government, and his truce with ihe Boers after their triumphs i. (Tended a large proportion of his countiymen. The present premier, though also a (rence man, Is an inix-rialist. and in his ministry there is Ihe most pronounced jingo ! whom England has known In any j action came, when he usually did high jHisition since IVliutrstoii and : about the right thing in spite of any Disraeli Colonial Secretary Cham I thing his cabinet adviers rccom berlain.

He the sole survivor of the group of men whom the great war president called j to bis side during the troubled days of civil war. The original Lincoln cabinet con sisted of William H. Seward as sec retary of state, Salmon I Chase as secretary of the treasury, Simon Cam eron as secretary of war, Caleb B. Smith as secretary of the interior, Gideon Welles as secretary of the navy, Montgomery Blair as post master general, and Edward Bites as attorney general. Of these only Seward and Welles remained in the cabinet until the death of Lincoln. Lincoln had three secretaries of Ihe treasury Chase, Eessendcn nnd McCulloch; two secretaries of war Cameron and Edwin M. Stanton; three secretaries of the interior Smith, John 1. Usher and James Harlan; two postmasters general IS'air and Dcnnison, and two attor neys general Bates and J.n. Speed. The cabinet of Lincoln was never harmonious. Seward, Chase, Cam eron and Biles bad been mentioned for the presidency in 1x01, and all of them hoped to gel the nomination in 1804. Chase was esjieciully aggres sive, and during his entire control of the treasury department was woiking to undermine his great thief. There were strained relations between Chase and Lincolo almost from the first, but Lincoln was a broad gauged man, appreciated Chase's splendid work in handling finances, and not till 1 801 did he admit that Chase's usefulness in the cabinet was at an end. Of all the presidents since Jackson, Lincoln depended the least upon his cabinet to fid him in shapiniz the policy of his administration, unless it was Mr. Cleveland. Lincoln was ways at odds wiih his ministers, inn lie nllowcil ct.Ii to r Ins way and always waited until tho lime for with the descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa, calling on Presi dent McKinley to protect them against the aggressions of tho Eng lish. The Philadelphia Times, com menting on this Incident, says: "Tho members o the Holland society are all right in theory, but fo logic of history is against them. They are themselves living examples of the general proposition that when Eng lish and Dutch get in one territory, the English will get on top. The Dutch in New Amsterdam were there by right, and very good people they were. But the hng'isu were loo many for them ami New Yolk be came an Englirli colony. And the Dutch that remained there were better off for the change. Though the situation is not in all respects parallel, there is an obvious analogy in the case of the Boers, except that the latter are by t o means ihe equals of Ihe energetic ancestors of the Holland society, and much less able lo stand in the way of the expansion of English influence." ana l'ttel lticarllns tha llta!
