MONDAY SEPTEMBER Z. 1399. THE BCER ARMY.

L1‘ eneral J oubert, the Commander in Chief of the Boer forces, who is also the Vice President of the Trans- vaal, is credited with the statement ghagin the event of war he will have 50,000 armed men to command. This statement is absurd on its face. But it is to be observed that he claims only about 20,000 of these are to be furnished by the Transvaal, a less number by the Orange Flee State, and the reu ainder from the British Provinces of Cape Colony and Natal

The entire Dutch population of British and Dutch South Africa does not exceed 400,000 men, women and children. The Dutch population of the Transvaal and Oraitzgc State alone does not exceed 150,000 souls. It is upon these that General Joubert must depend-a population not more than 50 per cent in excess of that of Prince Edward Island. But the limited Dutch population referred to can furnish an unusually large proportion of fighting men. Old men and boys of sixteen will hold places in the ranks side by side with the stronger men of middle age. And it is to be observed that the Boers are expert riflemen and horsemen, and that all, or nearly all of them will be mounted warriors.

These men have proved in the past- that they possess great endurance and dogged courage. They devoutly be- lieve in the justice of their cause. They will fight on the defensive, as men who fight for their homes and firesides. They are confident that having defeated British forces in the war of lS8l-2 they can do so again. They will be led bv the same General J oubert who met the British at Ma- juba Hill, where the BLB!‘ loss was so trifling and the British loss so crush- hing. Every Boer child is familiar with the story of the victory for which their devout pare its still return thanks to the God of Battles.

Their version of the battle of

hlajuba Hill is this, in substance: i General Colley took his 600 men to the top of this small and precipitous hi ll and exultingly challenged us. "Come up here, you beggars!” In broad day- light 150 picked Boer volunteers climb- ed irom terrace to terrace, dodging be- hind bowlders. and gained the top after five hours’ climb with the loss oi only one man.

At a range of thirty yards these brave men began a deadly fire from be- hind the rocks, and when a second party gained the summit and threatened

to flank the English a wild panic spread among the latter.

General Colley and many other ofli- cers were killed, and the survivors fled in confusiomdropping and rolling down

Ibo hill. pursued by a storm of bullets that seldom missed.

When the casualties were counted it was found that the Boers had killed 92 Englishmen. wounded 134. and cap- tured 59. The loss on the Boer side was one killed and five Wounded.

After all it was a small afiair as a battle, but great in its results,because when Britain made peace after this defeat and gave the Transvaal its in- dependence the Boers naturally con- ‘cluded. that they were conceded to be

invincible. This impression still pre- vails in the Boer mind and will oper- ate as an inspiration to them when

Yesterday at the Liberal conven- tion held in Eldon Mr. David P. Irving was unanimously chosen as a candidate to contest the Belfast District, made vacant by the resigna- tion 0f Hon. H. C. McDonald. Irving is a prosperous farmer resident at Vernon River. This nomination, following the appointment of Hon. D. A. McKinnon as Attorney Generaf, must awaken considerable political interest in the Belfast and Murray Harbor Districts. Local politics had been rather dull for some time past, but are likely to be more brisk for some time to come.

Tomorrow,Tuesday October 3, the first of the great Anglo-American yacht races of the year will take place‘ The second race is set for Saturday October 7. Other races will follow on successive Thursday's and’ Saturdays until one boat has won three times. All races will start and finish at Sanday Hook light-ship The course in each case will cover 30 miles. The first race will be l5 miles to wind- ward or leeward and return. The set 0nd race will be ovl-r an equal sided triangle of ten miles to a side. Tliere- after the course will be succesively first straight and then triangular un- till either the Shamrock or the Col- umbia is declared the winner.

Tae Mazet commitee now investiga- ting the afiairs of New York has put on the witness stand a number of the elected judges and asked them to tell how much they paid for their positions. Four of the judges stated that they had paid $10,000 each to Tammany, while five others admitted having paid $5,000 each, and one other $1500. As to the propriety of these payments there was a. difference of opinion. Five judges thought thly

In the interesting interview with Mr. W. S. Stewart, Q. C., a report of

which appears rlsewhere in this issue, '

it will be noted that he appears con fident of victory for the Conserva- tives of Manitoba at the coming prov- incial election. Mr. Stewart being himself an active Conservative may have met some sanguine supporters of that party on his trip and formed his opinions from those he heard ex- pressed by them. Premier Green- way has not lost hope, however, and for a good wbile past he has proved to be a hard man to beat.

Whatever Ingersoll might think of Moses the sanitary section of the scientific world continues to hold the ancient lawgiver in high estimation. The yBritish Sanitary Congress met recently at Southampton, on which occasion Sir William Preece, the Pre- sident», said that “Moses despised dust, and would have approved of our modern dust destroyers. Leviticr s, was a treatise {on hygiene by the greatestsanitary engineer the world had ever known,one who taught‘ that the first principles of health lay in pure air, pure water, pure food, pure soil, pure dwellings, and he

body. These were necessary sanitary conditions as laid dcwn in the Mosaic code, and they are the sanitary con- ditions of the present era.”
