WILLIAM MKIXLEY,
Of Ohio.
For Vice-President
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
Of New York.
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.
