One week ? 15 One month 50 One year v . 0 00 3I0NDAY - - OCTOBER 9, ISft) 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?
