SIZE OF THE BOER ARMY.
It would be interesting to know
Jiow many men the two South
African rep ibhcs have under arms,
Bays the Globe-Democrat. The re
mark that they have ambuscaded
England on this point seems to be
true. They have margin enough to
maintain three sieges, shutting up
12,000 or 15,000 British troops. It
takes a large force to surround o
place, but the Boers arc managing
it at Ladysmith, Kimbeile' and
Uafeking. They have routed Gatacre
at Stormberg, halted Methuen sharp
ly at Modder River and not only re
pulsed Buller at the line of the
Tugela, but seized his cannon with
Title fire in the most extraordinary
manner. To do all this and hold a
-firm grip in the sieges implies a large
number of men in the field and well
equipped for all sorts of contingen
cies. The British expected nn enemy
at most of 35,000 or 40,000, and
argued that as the Free State troops
had never been under fire they would
count for no more than average raw
militia. But it turns out that nil the
Transvaal troops are equally effective
with the rille; and the rifle and
"deerstalking tactics" have thus far
teen victorious.
Many Europeans nnd Outlanders
are serving in the Boer ranks. Re
cent dispatches, for instance, have
referred to the losses of the "Scandi
navian command," nnd such bodies
as this the British never reckoned
with. Thousands of Dutch colonists
have joined the Boer armies. The
extent of this disaffection is not yet
defined. A general colonial rising
would compel a speedy retreat of
Methuen, Gatacro and French, and,
possibly, of Buller. The Boers
hoodwinked the British ministry as
to the number of men t'jey could
summon to the field and also in re
gard to their resources in artillery.
At this moment the weakest point in
the Boer (situation is their commis
sariat and other supply departments.
When it comes to men they evidently
have plenty to insure a stiff resistance
for a long period, and perhaps to
take the offensive along certain lines.
RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The announcement of the probabil
ity that no river and harbor bill will be
passed at this session of congress is
a piece of rather discouraging news
for all the Pacific Northwest, and
especially for the Columbia river
region and Portland, The Telegram
says Chairman Hooker, of the river
and harbor committee, is opposed to
the passage of any river nnd harbor
hill, partly because Itu in u tool of
the corporation and syndicates and
lobbyists who are opposing a Nica
ragua canal, and be jthinks a canal
bill would he tacked on a river and
harbor bill, and partly because he
lives in n little New York town, nnd
bns no comprehension of or enre for
the noeds and resources of the great
Pacific West. He was put in his
present position by ex-SpenkerRecd,
for the purpose of preventing n Nica
ragua canal bill or any other bill re
quiring large appropriations for the
West, which Reed cordially hates,
because it did not nominate him for
president. Hundreds of millions
have beon expended on Atlantic
coast harbors, but some of the repre
sentatives from the Atlantic states do
as little as possible, and that grudg
ingly, for this coast. They cither do
not 3'et comprehend that tho com
merce of this coast is soon lo rival in
volume and value that of the At
lantic, or else they are animated by
a petti' sectional jealous' of this
region. Hooker is one of those nar
row, provincial, sectional, little pup
pets,but he ma' not be nblc to control
the committee, and if he docs so at
this session, a large and liberal bill
will be passed at the next session.
There must be n bright set con
nected with the courts of law out in
Jackson county. Norn Etta Cole,
aged 17, was recontfo sent to the
penitentiary from that county, to
serve a sentence of n year. The
offense was horse stealing. She was
nlso convicted of lewd cohabitation,
and it is the understanding that she
was to serve a jail sentence of six
months there nfter expiating her
felony here. Since arriving at the
penitentiary, the girl has been com
mitted to the asylum for the insane
She is idiotic. She is not capable of
committing a crime. Stic has not the
mental or the moral intelligence to
make any act of commission or omis
sion of hers felonious. It is not her
fault, either. It is the fault of society,
in permitting her to be born. Her
father is a drunken and brutish scrub.
He is a low and miserable fellow. The
mother is about the same class. What
can be expected from such a cotubi
nation? And, still further, it is
understood that this idiotic girl is
with child. Salem Statesman.

The nobility of Itussia in each anil
every province, who form a kind of
corporation in the eyes of the govern
ment with a marshal at Its head, arc to
be allowed to establish special hotird
inp houses or lionu'R for those of their
children who attend the middle-class
schools, but quite separate from such
schools.
The government undertakes to pay
the full coat of establishing these in
stitutions, which will come under the
supreme control of the minister of pub
lic instruction, and in which the pu
pils are to receive board, lodging,
clothes, linen, boots, sehoolbooks, pe
cuniary assistance, and, if necessary,
personal help in doing their home les
sons nfter school hours. The govern
ment also engages to pay half the year
ly cost of supporting them. The prefer
ence in accepting boarders as well as
gratuitous maintenance will be given
to the children whose fathers hold any
olllcial post in the corporation of their
class or in thtf zeinstvos, or who have
formerly held such post for not less a
period than nine years. The nobility are
also granted the right of founding
scholarships for their boys in the higher
and intermediary establishments of ed
ucation, for which the government like
wise provides half the necessary funds.
At the same time an annual .sum of lbfi
7o0 roubles will be paid out of the im
perial exchequer for the free educa
tion of 415 boys in two of the new mil
itary cadet schools.
This curious piece of class legislation
will give the landed nobility of Russia
a fnr cheaper education for their chil

the other antiquated social categories
into -which the Russian population in
still divided. Pall Mall Gazette.
