South Africa, The objective of the:English army in South Africa is Peetoria, with Bloem- fontein en passant There is where it ..wants to go. It is often said that the •principal object of a, military cam- paign is the array of the enemy, but by moving on these points his army will surely be found there, or at places • on the way, There are railroads lead- . ing to these objective points, and they dictate the line of approach. The Transva,a1 and the Orange Free State are on a high table -land, border- ed on the east and southeast by very Tugged and difficult mountains, which descencl sharply into the low conetry along the sea coast The passes are few, and can be defended with great advantage by the Boers. A line of railroad from the coast at Durban pierces the mountains and leads to Pretoria, by way of Lady- smith. The line traverses Natal, which driers itself like a wedge north- ward into the divide at the pass of Laing's Nek. This line of approach to Pretoria, while ratherdshort, passes for • a long distance through very ruggect country that has many lines of great defensrve Strength. From the southward the great table- land is approached by an open country with long and easy slopes. Along this line there are two railroads, substant- ially parallel, and at a distance apart that will permit two columns to move forward in touch with each other. • This enormously increases the facility and velocity with which a large num- ber of men and war material can be projected towards the objective of the campaign. The line is much longer than that through Natal, but on ac- count of the railroad facilities the in- creased distance is a matter of no great moment. The principal dif6.culty will be the protection of the long line of -communications from raiding parties • of the Boers. But a large array in the Orange Free State will keep most of the Boers busy in front, while, with the armored trains as wrecking trains and plenty of small defensive parties strung along the line, it. should not be a difficult matter to keep it open. The Boers are making great play. They are trying and hoping that the English will make its approach on the Natal line. Their whole movement is a brilliant end daring invitation. At the same time they are striving to oc- • cupy the two strongly defensive lines .in the mountains south of Ladysmith. • Their failure to oyerwbelm and crush General White's army has very Much delayed them, and they, may not get either of these lines. General White has handled himself unusually well. His attack at Elandslaagle, which was • criticised so much at first, was a neces- • sary move to cover the retreat of a, part of his command from Dundee- • an untenable and undesirable position. It is doubtful if the English try to force the Boers out of Natal. Rather will they do everything they can to keep them there. It, is a fatal position for the Boers, because it leaves them uncovered at their weakest point The time is probably near at hand when the grass will not grow under their • feet while they are taking theruselyes out of that locality, leaving small • forces to defend the passes, while they • hasten to the fortifications of Pretoria. The great fightingwill be there, unless ( they have the wisdom to give up the unequal and hopeless task beforehand. There is a strange parallel between • these Boers and the North -American • Indians. When the greatest deposit • of gold the mind of man ever dreamed of was uncovered on the barren Wit- watersand, the chariot of civilization rolled into their country,. Rather than get into the wagon and play their role tor just exactly what they were worth -as people do ia real republics -they have thrown themselves under the wheels, ip s vain hope of stopping the great 0 'cession. 1-, • - Thore are some ehings which one can •Pierceive are destined to take place eaugh the time and manner •E their occurrence are doubtful. uch was a radical elaange in the • overnment of the Transvaal. Every ne foresaw that sooner or later, eacebly or by war, Eregeristn would ave to alter its character. Such, nitre was the opening of Ohiesi. obocly imagined that the isolation of ke Celestial Empire would endure for- eer. It was, and still is, simply a IleStion of how and when it would be .;oken down. Or to take matters that tee not yet grown, actually pressing tore are few who doubb that at some me or other the Dual Monarchy must 11 to pieces ; and in the politics of Far East te is almost an axiomatic rietirity that Russia and japea will we to fight foe the possession of orea. • In the lastemmed instance evea the est self -retained observers, liege long tt an armed cenfiici in the categore things inevitable, leaving only the gene of ite breaking oub to coojectute. even on this point there are those aseett that the Mobaent is now approaching, and that a war between Perth Pickinge, the two powers (,:an hardly be post - polled beyond next spring, In view of these opnoone, winch are not the opinlooe of professional alarmists, there is gravity in the recent rum.oes from the Eastthat the Chinese are leaving Korea in fear of an immediate conflict ; that several thonsand japan- ese have been lauded there,. "disgtused as coolies"; thee Japanese battle -ships now building in England,. as well as some en route for japan, are being hurried along with all possible speed;. and that China and Japan have buried the animosities of the late war, and come together for mutual protection. Desire for revenge eijd an intense consciousness of oatioeal destiny aro the ground work of Japanese hatred for Russia. Few more galling humili- ations have ever been pat upon a coantry than the ejection ofJapan from the Liao-tung Peninsula. The fruits of her victory over China were dashed from her hands. Possibly she did not, intend to retain them permanently; the sting lay in being compelled to give them up at the bidding of anoth- er power. Japan has neither forgot- ten nor forgiven that public slight. The Chinese war was fought to free Korea from the suzerainty of Pelein, and to the independence a Korea Japan stands cormnitted by the simp- lest necessities of her position, Ima- gine Great Britain, with her swarming MdUStrialpdpulation andperpetuals car - city of food, placed where Newfound- land is, near a great agricultural country that cau at once supply her with what she needs and take from her what she manufactures, and you have a not exaggerated picture of the Japanese attitude towards Korea. A hostile power in possession of Korea would menace Japan's very existence, and hardly less certainly jeopardize the autonomy of China. Both coun- tries have a zommoo interest in keep- ing it free. Russia, on the other hand, intends its absorption-. It is the next and most obvious step in her expan- sion, and she has already collected in Manchuria a large, if somewhat irreg- ular, force, and placed it along the Yalu River. More Reserves Called put The Transvaal situation in view of recent occurrences and the latest news from Methuen is deemed to be critical. The War Office promulgated an order Monday calling out a further portion of the army reserve. The corrected list of the total casualties at Madder River Tuesday is as follows: killed 76, wounded 394, missing 7. Everything, but farmers' produce, is • advancing in price. The present is surely not a farmers' government " ' Rev. H. Kennedy, assistant pastor of the Methodist Church at Shedden, recently accepted the invitation to be- come pastor of Eaton, Mich. Thos. D.

General Gatacre appreciates Irish- men. Before leaving for the transvaal he said: "I am lucky in having five of my regiment Irish, for the knot that five Irish regiments cannot units rn ust be a difficult one.

Morrison, of McKillop, in a letter, "I gathered 24,000 dozens of eggs, and the previous season 25,000 dozen. I gathered from 100 farmers. and about half of these gave to other gatherers as well its to me, and there were six others who went over the sante route as I did. From the =ono t of money that I paid, therefore, judge that ab least $4,800 must beveabeen paid to these 100 farmers for their eggs this season.

As 1 said before, there are six others gath- ering on the same territory, and, sup- posing I gob half the ego, that would mean that $4,800 had been paid to 100 farmers, which means about $64,000 worth of eggs sold by the farmers of IVIcKillop alone.
