It was reported in yesterdays dis
patches that patriotic feeling is all
aflame in England, and that the fever
heat Of the people has never been
higher for the maintenance of Eng
lands rights. It is all about the Transs
vaal matter, and that is what puzzles
Americans. We cannot fully understand
and we have failed to find anyone who
claims to understand, why, if Jameson
was a filibuster; If Chamberlain spoke
the truth when he assured Kruger
that England was not responsible for
jameson or his men and would stand
true to the compact of 1884; if he spoke
the truth when he declared that Krue-
ger had the right to deal with Jameson
as he liked; if he voiced English SEN
timent when he said that England did
not wish to absorb the Transvaal State
and had no designs upon its independ-
ence-why all this pother? What is it
that so stirs English blood? What is
it that makes Englishmen so ready to
fly to arms and then to South Africa to
do something or other dreadful? It is
ali very puzzling over on this side of the
water. The nearest we can come to
an explanation of the matter is that
the English believe their brethren in
johannesburg demanded only what
was human right in insistence upon
recognition in the political government,
a voice in its affairs and the right of
representation in the tax levying and
revenue raising body; that the Beers
in denying these things to Englishmen
willing to become Transvaal citizens,
and adjudging guilty Of treason those
aliens who presented such demands
and plotted TO make them effective,
even to declaring a revolution, have
gone beyond the bounds of justice and
should not therefore be permitted to
carry into execution their arbitrary
DEGREES Finally that the Emperor of
Germany in expressing sympathy with
Kruger and approving his policy has
given the latter courage to do what
he and his counselors would not have
dared to undertake otherwise, and
therefore Germany has fiagrantly in
suited England and English1nen. New
ertheless, we cannot wholly accommo-
date this explanation to the excitement
and patriotic outbursts just now re-
ported from England.

The fanatics in and cut of San Fran
cleo, who are doing their utmost to
wreck the transcontinental road by in
sisting upon policy concerning the
railroad debt that is simply impossible
of accomplishment without grave in
jury to the State and every interest in
it. appear to be utterly blind to the fact
that the greatest sufferers, if their
scheme should be carried out, would be
the commerce of California and the peo-
pie of the State generally. 1t is simply
impossible to effect the radical changes
these fanatics demand, and not visit
upon the industries and business of the
people irreparable injury. There would
be an unsettling of securities, a. wrench
ing of industrial conditions, an upturn-
ing of commercial interests, from which
the State would not recover in years.

Says the Los Angeles Express" =:
"The French debt, which exceeds $4,-
|000000,000. is entirely held at home and
largely by the peasantry. Why should
not the United States be able to borrow
money in the same way from her peo-
ple?"
Why not, indeed? The people of
France sat in rows all night, night after
night at the street corners, waiting op-
portunity to subscribe, and the loan was
subscribed for twice over. We do not
need to do that; all Americans have to
do is to put in their bids, await the
award and be ready with the money.

threat of vengeance. If Americans
have been guilty of plotting against the
Government of Transvaal they must
take the consequences of failure man
fully. Our Government WILL say the

within it's power to succor the prisoners,
but no one must expect it to threaten
Kruger. or make the madcap attempt
of our people in Transvaal excuse for
coercing the Government of that re-

Precisely as was to have been ex-
pected, the Czar of Russia has given
out that he agrees with Germany in the
Transvaal matter, and that he will
stand by the Emperor, and looks to see
the United States take similar posi-
ton. This negatives the story of the
Anglo Russo Franco alliance. But the
Czar is mistaken in thinking that this
Government will meddle in the Trans
vaal controversy. The American policy
is to keep hands out of any European
or African ENHANCEMENT.

NOTE AND COMMENT !.


The Brown -Overman-Davidson scan
dal-mill having suspended grinding for
a while, what will poor San Francisco
do now for a cud of sweet and salacious
consolation? 1t cannot be many days
before the sensational press will un-
earth some new nasty story for the
delectation of the people.
1t is officially announced-that is, a
London paper pledges itself that the
announcement is by authority-that
England will put its case before the
United States Commission regarding
the Venezuelan boundary. Not, of
course. in a formal way or by reeogni-
ton of the right of the commission,
but if that body proposes to define a
Venezuelan line, England will, by max
ing its case public, aid to that end,
and will consent when the line is in
dicated to submit it's correctness to ar
bitration. That looks very much as If
we are about to enter upon the begin
ming of the end of the Venezuelan diff
ficulty. But assuredly there win not be
any withdrawal of the Monroe doc
trine from the advanced position it
has now been given.

THE FREE COINAGE CLAIMS.

'The Philadelphia American" seems TO per-
ceive that the method adopted by the silver
extremists in Congress tends to stop all argu-
ment on the merits OF their effort to make Pro
lection depend on free coinage. IL there Is fur
Their argument ii Is not for them, but for the
removal Of errors from the minds Of those they
might mislead The claim set up. that bimetal-
ism and Protection are inseparable. involves
at the start the assumption that thing Is true
which in the Judgment Of the commercial world
Is not true-namely, that free coinage Of silver
is or can bring about bimetasm. On the con-
trary, In the Judgment Of the commercial world
II means silver monometallism, the expulsion Of
gold from monetary use In the country opening
its minis to silver. and the degradation Of It's
paper currency TO the level Of paper redeem
able only IN sllvcr-that is. at the rate Of about
80 cents on the dollar in the worlds money.
Silver monometallism and Protection are not
inseparable. but In the belief of The Tribune
are necessarily and irreconclaby hostile The
arguments offered in favor OF the theory suffice
to prove this For, first, 1t is asserted that prices
are dependent on the quantity Of money in
circulation as compared with the work done by
money which is theory completely ex-
ploded by modern economic study and by mod
ern practical experience that 1t scarcely needs

has proved that prices fall although the crcu-
