Official Paper of Ftasca County and the Village of Grand Repids. “Pig Sticking” in War. New York World: It is hardly necessary to remark that there was no “pig-sticking” or other form of mur- der of prisoners at Stormberg. ‘The Boers are not sufficiently civilized to make war in that “gentlemanly” fashion. Philadelphia North American: The censored dispatches from English sources are filled with protests against the alleged brutality of the Boers. They are charged with shelling the hospitals, firing on the Red Cross surgeons on ig other acts of barbarity. But when English soi- diers boast of having driven’ their lances through wounded Boers, who were begging. for mercy, we fail to hear any indignant comment from) the English press or people over such shocking exhibiuons of savagery. St.Louis Republic: This kind of talk would be bad enough coming from blood-thirsty Zulus proud of their merciless use of the assegais with which they tansfix their ene- mies, regardless of their piteous ‘“call- ing for mercy.” But from the soldiers ot England, “the missionery nation,” it 1s appafing in its frank confession o| ruthless methods of warfare. ‘The story is one that many may not read with satisfaction by any man proud of | the English blood in his veins. Jt should not be possible as told of a people so brave and fair-minded as| the English are wont to be, Philadelphia Ledger: ‘The London papers publish letters from their regu- lar corgespondents at the scene of the war in South Africa and from Bnitish soldiers who are participating in tle campaign that confirm the allegations ofthe Boers that after the baule of Elandslaagte the Filth British Lancets massacred sixty burghers who had thrown down their arms. writes to the London ‘Times that “most excellent pig-sticking ensued One officer for about ten minutest the bag being about sixty.” A Dragoon corporal says that the Boers cried for quarter, but “we just gave them a dig as they lay.” Another trooper says that the defeated burghers fell-on their knees for mercy, “but we.were not to give them any, and ] can assure you that they got none.” ‘i/his 1s bloodthrsti- ness unworthy of the painted savage. It is a repetition of the slaughter in- flicted upon the wounded Dervishes at Obdurman by the forces of Gen. Kitchener. The excuse offered for the cruelties practiced in the Soudan was that the enemy were so treach- | erous, even when apparently dying, that their killing was « necessity. No such pretex can be put forth in de- fense of the dastardly conduct of the Fifth Lancers, They practiced un- | civilized warefare against a Christian foe, and have earned, for themselves the execration of mankind, W.

Holman has received a quantity of rubber heels to put on ladies’ and gents’ shoes; also soles to put on ladies’ home-made slippers. | Call and see them, and you cannot help but buy them, they are com- forters.
