1 C1IILVMUC LITTLE NATION
Every person, whatever may be
his attitude on the general question
in controversy between England and
the Transvaal, must admire the hem
ism oi me uraniie vree maie. mis
diminutive nation of 48,000 square
miles and of 78,000 while inhabi
tants or about the size ot Louisiana
in aiea and Arizona in population
lias determined to make the Trans
vaal's cause its own, and to ally it
self with that country if war comes
with England. It is considerably
smaller than the Transvaal, which
has an area of about 1)D,000 square
miles, and 110,000 white inhabitants
or, approximately, like New Mexi
co in area and Montana, as it was in
1890, in inhabitants. In combina
tion the population and resources of
these two little states are infinitesimal
compared with those of the gigantic
cncm3' which they stand ready to
fight.
Of course the reason why the
Orange Free State goes to the as
sistance of the South African republic
is the community of race and polit
ical interests between them. The
old Hollander and French Huguenot
elements, which constitute the Boers
of the southern part of the African
continent, comprise the larger in
gredient of the inhabitants of the
Free State, as they do of the voting
population of the South African re
public. There is a fear among the
Erec Slate's population that the over
throw of the Transvaal's government
through defeat by England would be
followed by subversion of their o.vn
independence, and that both cotintiies
would be reduced to the status of
Biilish dependencies. Hence they
believe that in assisting President
Kruger's country they are lighting
their own battles. The first shot
wuici is fired on the Transvaal's!
frontier will thus start tbc army of i
the Free State in motion to the aid
of its biethren against what it con
ceives to be the common enemy.
Whatover may be the result of
the war, if It takc3 place, a good 1
share of the world's plaudits will go
to the Ultlo republic to the south of,
tuo Transvaal. Tho Free State as
well as the Transvaal will feci that
its liberty is at stjke, and, as it will
lie on its own ground, and as the
groater part of its male population
between 18 or 20 years of age nr,d'
30 Or flO Will llfl lliwlnr nrma llio ivnr '
if there is a war, will not be ended
in two or .three weeks. Tim fact,
tqp, that the aborigines in both the
Erco State and the South African
republic outnumber the whites several
tie8, and that there Is danger that
tUey nay the against .the whites it
war Ukcs place, aijds to the diffi
culties unci enhances the heroism of
tip plucky little nations. For tho
IfcMifctiag the outtarn part of the
African continent is a decidedly
interesting part of the world.
Jimmy McGraw is a little old
Irishman who lives on a farm near
Hays City, Knnsa9, and he was an
aclor in a thrilling deo.l ofwhtch
many stories have been written. He
was the color bearer in a New Yoik
regiment. In n forward movement
ngainst some Confederate breast
works he got away ahead of the line
with his llg. His colonel shouted:
"Bring that flag back to the line!"
Without stopping, Jimmy yelled over
his shoulder: 'tBring yer d d lino
up to the colors!" And the line
did come to the colors and Jimmy
now wears on his breast a medal
voted him by congress.
EARLY TRAVEL BY RAIL.
Letter or n I.nily Who TimiU Train
When the Locomotive Wan
In Its Infancy.
'1 raveling is now so easy, and used
to be so difficult, that it is hard for us
to realize that the introduction of so
useful an improvement as the "iron
horse"' was not immediately and uni
versally welcomed; but it was not. In
an old family letter arc recorded the
impressions of an early traveler by rail,
after her lirst journey behind a loco
motive. "The speed is very terrifying," she
wrote, "and the clattering and jolting
inconceivably unpleasant. The atmob
phere is Ut cily tlir.n 1 expected; but,
on the ether l.-rd, there is eo much
soot and grime upon everything, even
shortly upen the faces and hands of
tho travelers. Then the appalling
screeches proceeding from the loco
motive engine, which ft gives out on
coming to a stop and at other times are
most distressing and dis'cordatit.
"It is a method of travel with but one
advantage, a raving of time; and with
more disadvantages than can be
enumerated, beginning as they do with
Danger, and concluding with Dirt.
"Uetwcen cities of large population,
whence the necessities of business
force insn to hasten to and fro, and for
the carrying of goods and merchandise,
the railroad is no doubt destined to
fill a use! id position. Iiut that it can
ever be employed for ordinary travel,
after public cmiosity is satisfied, by
individuals of leisure and gocd per
sonal habit.') by gentlemen and gen
tlewomen, in short or even by clean
ly and comfortable people net gently
bred, unLcs in cases of necessity, I can
not believe."
It is easy to sympathize with this
dainty lady's dislike of grime and
noise, but what would she have said
conM she have lived to ride in a par
lor car, dine at a Hying buffet, cr sleep
avtay a journey of ."CO cr 400 miles, se
cluded in a comfortable berth?
