This is another proof that the Beers had resolved on war, no matter what efforts England made for peace. Eng- land is fighting a war forced on het, by a people that had been preparing for the struggle for years. - - An Ottawa correspnaulent writes ;- Among the members; who may volute tarily retire at the elose of the present parhatuent. is 3/e.

This is 'Mr. Race, editor of tbe Mitchell Recorder. That he is an able man will not he dieputed. even by his opponents, and that be has strong claims on the party is equally true. No doubt South Perth has manyable nen in its borders, lint in our opinion we know of no one wha would represent it more ably or ef- ficiently than the gentlemen whotn we have named. - - RecentlyPostmaeter-General Mule& i sought to ncrease the revenue of his department by imposing postage on newspepers, but it would not he diffi- eult for him to find other means to the same end. One would he the reunite. ion or abolishment of the franking privilege now enjoyed beamembers of Parliament, which everybody knows, is flagrantly abused. It is employee, for Instance, to assist all kinds of schemes for private profit. Sir Rich- ard Cartwright recently violated the franking privilege by sending out 80,- 000 pamphlets, thus cheating the rev- enue of $8,000 postage. The im- posing of postage on newspapers to in- crease revenue is admittedly as yet a moot question,bu t, here is an irregular - Rya° use a lad terunregarding whicb there can be no difference of opinion. Here is a leak, the stopping of which, while touching the private pocket of a few persons who could well stand the deprivation, would imposeno vicarious burden by taxing legitimate industry in order to choke off those revenue beats, who continually use the mails as a means of distributing advertising matter. + = x nexeeptional legislation, is somewhat \ Even England, tbe boasted home of der the thutub of monopolists. Only twenty sturdy Britons voted against a bill giving a monopoly to the pres- ent, wretched telephone company of London for 12 years. To be sure, the term is short, but the telephone sys- tem installed in London is not up-to- date ' - it is a heart breaking, old-fash- ionedservice, possibly the worst in the world. It is not expected that the monopolists will try very hard to im- prove the system, as monopolists are not, built on that plan. All this goes to prove that John Bull in Parliament is a stubborn old Conservative, who likes the old things best- even bad tele- phones. J. G. Eyres, of Woodville, President of the Victoria Telephone Company, which controls an independent system with headquarters at Woodville and with extensions reaching out to towns in the immediate neighborhood, is ne• - gotiating for either amalgamation or the making of a working arrangement • with the Dodge Telephone Company, whenever it undertakes operations in that quarter of the country.

NERR 111CONITIONEY: Ir and ALL HIS ARMY are now PRISONEAS.• London, Feb. 27.—The War Office has received the following despatch from Lord Roberts :– Paardeberg, Feb 27, T 45 a.m.-- General Cronje and all his forces capitulated unconditionally at daylight, and he is now a prisoner in my camp. I hope that Her Majesty's Government will con- sider this event satisfactory, oc- curring as it does on the anniver- sary of Majuba. THE lI0ERNLMIiERED 4000. London, Feb. 27, 4.38 p. m.— The Secretary of State for War, the Marquis of Lansdowne, an- nounced this afternoon that the prisoners captured with Gen. Cronje numbered about .4,000. Gen. Cronje will be sent to Cape Town. HOW IT WAS vexE. 5.02 p. m — The War Office has received •the following des- patch from Lord Roberts "Paardeberg, eleven o'clock, Tuesday morning.—From infor- mation furnished to me daily by the Intelligence Department, it became apparent that Gen. Cron- je's force was becoming more de- pressed, and that the discontent of the troops and the dis- cord among the leaders were rap- idly increasing. This feeling was doubtless accentuated by the dis appointment caused when the Boer reinforcements, which tried to relieve Gen. Cronje, were de- feated by our troops on Feb. 23. "I resolved therefore to bring pressure to bear on the enemy. Each night the trenches were pushed forward towards the ene. mys laager, so as to graduallY contract his position, and at the same time I bombarded it heavily with artillery, which was yester- day materially aided by the ar- rival of four six-inch howitzers, which I had ordered up from De Aar. "In carrying out these measures a captive balloon gave great ser- vices by keeping us informed of the dispositions and movements of'the enemy. OANO.DIAN'S SPLENDID WORK. At 3 a. no to -day a most dashing advance was made by the Canadian Regiment and some Engineers. sup- ported by the First Gordon Highland- ers and Second Shropshires, resulting in our gaining a, point some six, hun- dred yonle nearer the enemy and within eighty rolls of his trenches when our men entrenched themselves and maintained their position till morning. A gallant deed worthy of our Coloiiiel comrades, and which I am glad to say was attended by com- paratively slight loss. This apparently clinched tuatters,for at daylight to -day n letter signed by Um. esoltie, in which he stated that he surrendered uncouditionally, was brought to our outposts under a. flag of traca In reply I told Gen. Crone that be must present, himself at my vamp and that his force must come out of their Jaeger after laying down their arms. CRONJE IN ROBERTS' CAMP.

James Smith. These counterfoils svill each contain same number, and one will be laid up- on the cable, so that the candidates' agents may all see what number it bears. This will be done when the bal- lot is handed to the voter. When the marked ballot is returned to the re- turning officer he will remove the other counterfoil, and lay it on the table, to show that the numbers corresponds -and that the ballot itself is no other than the one given to the voter a moment before. This should prove an effectual bar against the substitution of ballots by parties who have received bribes. There would be no way to trace the ballot when it went into the box or in- terfere with its secrecy, The cross may be placed anywhere within the spaces occupied by the name. and the probability is that the ballots will be printed on security paper. that cannot possibly be duplicated.
