THE FIRST DAY'S FIGHT AT GLENCOE. HEN the account of the first day’s fighting | at Glencoe, near Dundee, given in the dis- patch from Pretoria published in | yesterday, is compared with that given out by the | British it will be seen that the conflict between the on the field was not much greater than ntagoni { that between the reports of the results. The compari- | | son is worth noting. Owing to the isolation of the | Transvaal nearly all the news from the€ war must | British lines of communication, and is therefore lizble to the coloring of British hopes or prejudices. The evidence given in the Pretoria dispatch of ex- aggeration in the reports of the first battle will serve to show to what extent allowance will have to be made for these inevitable misrepresentations. The British reports of the battle were to the effect that a severe and almost a crushing defeat had beea inflicted upon the Boers. It was said: “There was eight hours of continuous heavy firing. * * * The British loss was severe, but that of the Boers was much heavier. * * * The Boers got a re- verse which may possibly, for a time at any rate, check all aggressive action.” After describing the charge up the hill and the capture of the position occupied by the artiliery of the Boers, the British reports went on to sa “As the Boers streamed they found their retreat had been cut off, but they rallied for a while and there was severe firing on both sides. Many of them surrendered. A rough estimate places the British loss at 250 killed and wcunded, and that of the Boers at 80.” was caught hanged himself in remorse. 1 The report from Pretoria giving an account of the The Call | affirmative legislation of Congress to force upon the | | come from British sources or be transmitted by | wildly down the hills, making for the main road, | ! less will work together. The currency question is a party | Senator Allison confirmed the expectations of those | who look to the Republican majority in Congress Upon that point he said: “It is the purpose of the Republican party, which | has constantly sustained our system of sound money | based upon the gold standard, to continue to main- | tain it—all of it, whether silver or paper—at a parity | with and convertible directly or indirectly into gold | at the will of the holder, and it will be maintained in | the future, not by the voice of party, but by the voice | of the American people, and the laws upon our | | statute books upon this subject will be invigorated and strengthened to maintain it and preserve it, and to make it impossible for any Secretary of the Treasury or any President by his own fiat and without positive | people in some hour of temporary depression or of national slumber the depreciated standard of silver money, or place any of our money at a premium or discount.” It is to be noted that Congressman Henderson, who will be the Speaker of the House, in a recent | speech has taken exacfly the ground of Senator Alli- son on both. these issues. “There should be abso- lutely no party politics,” he said, “on the trust ques- tion. The party or person who attempts to make political capital out cf it is neither wise nor fair. The party that does it is controlled by demagogues and the person who does it is a demagogae.” Concern- ing the financial question, he said: “I predict that a | Republican Congress will legislate at the coming | session so as to increase the confidence of the peo- | ple, establish firmly the gold standard of the civil- ized world and let the people know that all their obligations will be discharged on a safe, firm basis.” Admiral Dewey is sharing the penalties as well as receiving the rewards of greatness. Hetty Green now claims him as a relative. She says her grand- | mother was a Storey and one of ‘his female ancestors was a Storey and—but that’s another story. The good people of Nebraska are doomed to even worse torment than that of a blizzard. They are to suffer the devastating progress of another windstorm. Williagp Jennings Bryan is preparing for a town-to- town canvass throughout the State question and | | to assure currency reform at the coming session. | At the end of his first year's service he found himself with half a crown anead. A half-crown is a British silver coin, sometimes called “two-and-six,” and ap- proximates closely to our 0-cent piece. He was happy. The coin did not get an opportunity to burn his pocket—he salted it away. The second year he had a little more money; and finally at the end of five years and his apprenticeship he was the absolute owner ot £10, roughiy speaking 350. But he had | accumulated a whole lot of worldly ex- | perfence, wisdom, and the craft of com- merce. Let it be understood that I am reciting this history as he told it to me himself in the long journey between EI Paso and Washington. When he found himself a | free man with £10 “‘to boot' an irresistible | Qesire to visit his birthplace at Dungan- | non, Ireland, possessed him. He ascer- | tained that it would take nearly one-fifth | of his capital to make the Journei'. He | knew right well that the cost of his sus- | tenance while at Dungannon need not be | taken into account. He left for his native place, being then 17 vears old. He told me at length the delights of his visit. How simpfe and industrious and prudent and patriotic his relatives and their neigh- | bors were; about his visits to the old | church in Dungannon, where the historic convention of the Irish volunteers of 1782 | was held that demanded and won—for a | time—the legislative independence of Ire- and. ‘But what attracted the commercial side of him was the Irish bacon. It goes with- out saying that a cooked pig is best when | he is irish. This is not only a maxim in | trade but of the palate. Making inquiries voung Lipton discovered that the rafters of every Irish farmhouse for miles around were laden with bacon, that there was no market for’it, and consequently no com- mercial value, Lipton, who had concluded to splurge a few shiliings of his “plle” to make an impression on his old neighbors, changed his mind and invested every pen- ny he had in Irish bacon. He carried it back to Glasgow with him in a good- sized box as luggage. He knew well the tastes and character of the principal pa- trons of the establishment where he served his apgrenuceshlp and to these he displayed and sold his Irish bacon. He cleared £10 in this, his first speculation. Fle lost no time in returning to Ireland and securing an option on all the bacoa in the vicinity of Dungannon. Thus he laid the foundation of his fortune. Sir Thomas was given the handle to his name soon after the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. There are two xinds of sirs in Great Britain. One kind is of the baronet class, herednmiy and regarded as semi- aristocratic. he other, called knights, nearly anybody can attain who does any- thing successful. The usual route to this latter honor is fo make a contribution to some charity in which royalty is inter- ested, or to the campaign chest of the party in power. On_the oceasion of the Queen’s Jubilee the giflncess of Wales parented the idea of giving a big feed including pie and un- usual incidentals to the poor of D~ don. She appealed for funds and the re- spons2 was not gratis nor spontane- ous. The scheme was on the verge of col- lapse when Lipton went forw: with a contribution of $125,00.
