JAT SOUTH AFRICA.
England, in her hour of sorrow,
centers all hope on General Sir Red--vers
Buller, who commands all the
British forces in South Africa, and
directs the attempted advance of
three armies. The army under Gen
eral Methuen has suffered withering
losses at Modder river, and having
"been fought to a standstill, is going
into entrenchments. Gen. Gatacre'a
army has been shot to pieces at Storm
berg. Buller, who is somewhere be
tween Pietermaritzberg and Lady
smith, is personally directing the
movement for the relief of that town
and General White's besieged forces.
Four lines of railwav run from the
coast of South Africa into the in
terior. One runs from Cape Town
a second from rort .bltzabetu cn
JLlgoa bay, and a third from Durban
These all start in the British posses
sions of Cape Colony and Natal, and
the three British columns have been
advancing along them. The fourth
railway starts from Delagoa bay, in
Tortusucse East Africa, and is not
available for the British forces.
The British forces under Methuen
and Gatacre having been blocked in
their attempted advance along two
of the three available lines of com
munication with the interior, it be
comes of tremendous importance that
Buller drive an opening along the
third line into Lndysmilb. But he
must do more. He must, in addition
to his task of relieving Lndysmilb,
inflict a crushingdefeat on the Boer
forces, else England will be in a bad
plight in boulu Africa for man'
months to come. Ladysmilh is, at
the junction of the two branches of
railway, one running north and
northeast to Johannesburg and Pre
toria, and the other running nest to
a trunk line traversing the Orange
Free State from norlh to south, and
continuing into the Transvaal. The
former, afler leaving Ladysmitb, en
ters the Transvaal through Laing's
27ek, near Mojuba bill, the scene of
the British repulse ,in 1881, The
latter enters the Orange Free State
through Van Keenan's pass. Unless
the Boers confronting Buller's army
are subjected to a crushing defeat,
they will readily fall back on these
two passes and impede indefinitely
the advance of the British forces into
the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State.
It is possible that the outcome of
Bailer's plan of campaign will piove
that the results justified tho severe
losses suffered by Methuen and
Gatacre. Buller may have directed
these generals to engage the Boer
forces before them at till hnzurds,
with a view to preventing tie Boers
from detaching portions of their
forces boforc these generals and con
centrating them around Ludysmitb,
or possibly in the expectation that a
determined onslaught by Methuen
and Gatacre would forco the Boers
to hurry rcinforccmonts in that di
rection, and thus tnako possible the
speedy relief of Lndysmlth, and an
ensier advance into the Transvaal
and the Orange Free Stato.
If Buller could accomplish these
ends, the British could hope to gain
command of the net work of rail
roads in tho Transvaal and the
Orange Free State, and could nd
vancc at will oe Prcloria, Johannes
burg, Bloemfontcin or Kiinberley.
They would encounter severe re
sistance, but they would be m a
position to make feints Drst in one
direction and then another, and by
keeping the Boers guessing, would
compel them to scatter their forces.
M URDEIiER ROSSER.
Some months ago a Tennessee
soldier named Rosser iuexcusab.'y
killed a man in a bar-room brawl in
San Francisco. Partly because ho
was a soldier and partly because the
San Francisco courts are instruments
of injustice and wrong, he was ac
quitted, on no reasonable theory of
defense whatever. Set at liberty
and transferred to New York, and
being dulj inflamed with liquor and
possessed of the notion that be was
not amenable to the law, ho shot and
mortally wounded nnothcr victim,
again without reasonable excuse.
luc defense will be tuat be was
temporarily insane. If he gets clear
this time, and kills a third man, the
law would be doing him an injustice
to punish him, for it will have twice
said to him, in effect: ''Get drunk
and kill; slay and spare not; 3'ou are
a soldier, an officer, and are above
the law; it won't punish you." The
San Francisco court and jury that let
this murderer go scot free arc really
the murderers of the New York
victim. If they bad done their plain
duty by the murderer, he would
have been where he could kill no
other man. Telegram.
Itiibbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eves eunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and fiides, no appetite gradually grow
ing weaker clay by day. Threo physi
cians had given me up. Fortunately, a
friend advised 'Electric Bitters'; and to
my great joy and surprise, the firEt
bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. I knur,- tliny eared
my life, nnd robbed the grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try them.
