Our past relations with me rembecribers assure us that it,will be promptly complied with. During the year just closed we have aimed to give a paper not only of the highest 4 hiss as regards quality, but one that v on`.d 1-e read by all classes. A gocdly inimber of our subscrtbers have ekes dy renewed their subscr p floes for I be current year. To all these we return our sincere thanks. We would be glad to hear from those who have not yet done so as soon as pos- eines _The amount ta eachindisidual • is email, hut when multiplied by many it amounts to a large sum. We spend time and money to make tt e NEW URA a weekly record of all Iir I 1 -events. We would like to have evety • subscription on aur list paid in ad. • Tame. and I herefore make the simple• . reouest that every subscriber will at once examine bis label on this paper, • which shows thedate up to which the •/subscript ion is paid, and then prompt- -- remit amount to- cover eubecriptionr up to end of 1901, by express or postal order, postal note or registered letter. The pt ice of paper and of printing taaterial of ell kinds has advanced very materially during the oast year, while e--ffrie& Bf•-aribscript ion has remained Collicriiing South Africa Ill '11\ . ea s ,. adiaa'Experience.

The numberof horses used during this campaign will n ver be exeetly knowie elthough the 13ritie rosy know how many have been purchseed and sent into the country, there have behn so many commandeered from the liode,s, Sick horses from plates a few milea kigher up than Eroonstad were always tent for treatment to the veterinary hossiltal in that place. Very often while down* the station 1 vvatcbed them unload anitioals from oars; they had no systeno of paclitng the horses and did not put them in clop enonghe norelternatelyseass is-done-h,ereut - Canada, consequently it was quite a none mon occurrence to see some with broken ' legs and other bad hoof marks on them; all those with broken legs were just hauled out of the cars on to the ptatforra by bitch. ing a couple teams of mules to them, shoot - thorn ininiediately they were got out; erne night while watching there I saw 75 treated in this manner; another day while walking along the street, I saw three very small and poor Free State borne, that had been commandeered, being taken ever to the burial ground, when one of them either became stubborn and would not walk, or else was tired and could not; the man who sheeLtbetairecharge-get off.them ono he NAB. riding and shot the one that stopped, leav. ing it lying in the street. to be hauled away later on. As you travel through the wan- ' try, either by rail or on the road, you see the bleaching carcases of hundreds of dead horses, mules and oxen; sometimes at the sides of the rivers many of them can be seen lying deed along the banks, having gone to dri It and been too weak to get away, so just dropped; the ,effect on the water can be better imagined than des- cribed. ()f the'horses used„ out there, none stoud the rough work better than the west- ern ponies, taken out by the men of the Strathcona Horse, they being more used to roughing it, and also doing better on the grasa grown out there. APgreat many Ar- gentine horses have been used; they are usually dietinguishable by having a white face, most of them bearing this mark. I often got up early and walked flown to the market, which was about a mile and half from our depot; the 'Irate morning I was highly interested in the way it was oonducted-nothing like whet ours is, ex- capt that it is a market. All goods brought in for sale are sold by %Fe market master, who is just like our market clerk; he is as- sisted by.a book keeper to 'keep track of everything sold. Everything is sold by auction, the individuals that brought in the goods selling nothing whatever; a 0012I- rnission ie charged on all goods. In the • . • the same. Our white paper costs us ec per lb. more than it did last year. This venders it all the more netessary that subser ibers pay promptly. Theme are few papets that have A bet- ter or more prompt paying list than the NEW ERA has, and we have no doubt hut t hat, under the exceptien; 1 circumstances we have mentioned, they, will be even more prompt than usual this year. It is Useless, Anyhow. When the Liberals came int o power in 1896, there were but eight Liberals in the Senate, which is cemposed_of 80 imeriebsrs. So great a cluiegehas tak- en place in this body, that at present there are 33 Libetals and 47 Conserve-, , -- • tives, and it only requires a change of 4 five more to give the Liberals.. control , ' ref this bo, The Senate has been en • - obstructionist body so tar as Libera •Pglelation is concerned, but is likely • 'este. • • to be more discreet in future. But we To- • fail to seeany useful purpose whatever which the Senate serves by ,its exist- ence.
