England continues her preparations for
war She looks upon the situation in
South Africa as fun OF danger. President
Kruger OF the Transvaal republic has il
in his power apparently TO say whether
there shall be peace or war between Eng
land ana Germany. His reply to the Eng
lish government. acknowledging the re-
ceipt OF the note in which Queen Vic
toria expressed her qualification at his
giving up DR.. Jameson to the British au-
thorities, is very diplomatic. He commits
himself to nothing
What is his policy in respect to the
jameson incident? That is the question
that is now uppermost in many minds in
Europe. What price win he demand from
England for the Jameson invasion of the
TransvaaI republic? VIII he demand that
the charter Of the South African Company
be annulied? VIII he demand compensa-
tion in money or will he demand the alb
solute independence of the TransvaaI re-
public?
He has given no intimation OF his pur-
pose. and 1t is not likely he will until he
Is sure of his ground. The German en-
peror, so it is reported. advises him in
favor Of absolute independence. and to
appeal to Europe to sustain him. If he
should accept that advice Germany would
have to sustain him if England should
refuse to grant the demand.
And there is no doubt she would refuse.
She has the suzerainty of the TransvaaI
BY authority OF a convention signed in
1884 and before she would give that up
she would accept war She cannot af-
ford to give it up. BY doing so she would
run the risk of losing her African possess
sions. She might pay a price to the Trans
vaal republic or she might annul the
charter of the South African Company.
but she would not abandon the hold she
has upon the Transvaal.
President Kruger must make his pur-
pose known soon. If he decides for abso-
lutte independence watch for war clouds.

The letter from the President 10 sena-
tor Canery OF Louisiana. published in
our dispatches yesterday. ought 10 set
at rest the stories that have been so in
dustriously circulated to the effect that
the administration entered into a secret
contract with a New York bond syndicate
to sell 10 the syndicate the Sl0000o010 is
sue Of bonds at a price much below the
market value OF the bonds. and was pre-
vented from carrying out the contract by
the attacks made by a newspaper upon
the administration and the bond syndi-
cate In his letter the President says:
Il am amazed at the intolerance that
leads even excited partisanship 10 adopt
as a basis OF attack. the unfounded ac-
cusations and assertions Of a maliciously
mendacious and sensational newspaper"
II was probably the purpose OF the
newspaper 10 which the President refers
To advertise itself by having it appear
that il defeated scheme to rob the peo-
pie Of millions Of dollars. The President
would not have noticed the publication
If it had not been made the basis Of a
partisan attack upon the administration
by a senator. What the senator's feelings
must be If he is a fair-minded and CON
scientious man on finding out that he has
done the administration a gr6ss injus-
tice can be easily imagined.
The President says that. as a matter
Of fact, no member Of a bond syndicate
has been invited 10 Washington. and that
there has been no effort to make a secret
or public contract for the sale Of the
bonds to syndicate All the members
of the administration have preferred,
ever since # was conceded that another
issue Of bonds would be necessary, to
ask the public TO bid for them.
The amodnt Of falsehood that has been
published in connection with the bond is
sue is simply astounding. Reports that
had no foundation whatever have been
started and then put into print as being
true. It is not to be wondered at that
the President becomes wearied. and is
at times almost disposed to cease his eff
forts to protect the integrity OF the cur
rency. That both he and Secretary Car
Isle have at no time had any other pur-
pose in view In connection with the bond
sale than to do the best that could be
done for the peoples interests does not
admit of doubt. and yet there are influ-
entail men and influential newspapers
that do not hesitate to insinuate that
both are influenced by improper motives,
and that the bond business has not been
of a character to he credited to their in
tegrity. 1t is gratifying that such men
and newspapers do not express the senti-
ments of the great majority of the Amer
lean people.

A day or two ago the Merchants Ma
tional Bank of New York, of which Will
liam p. St. John is president. turned into
whatever kind of money the government
was willing to give him for it.
This act of Banker st. John caused COM
ment in financial circles for two reasons.
One is that the banks of New York are
now holding all the gold they can get
either for the premium 1t is bringing or
for the purchase of bonds, and the other
is that Banker st. John favors the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ra-
ito Of 16 to l. lie is about the only New
York banker who would like to see our
minis opened to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
When asked about his deposit of gold
about the matter-that he had only one
object in view, and that was to help the
government tide over it's difficulties.
Mr. St John shows himself to be
straightforward patriotic man. Unlike
the silverites in the Senate he does
down the threats of the people. as il
were. If the people don't want it they
ought not in his opinion, to be compelled
to accept it by Withholding from the gov
eminent the means to maintain sound
money. According to his view the ma
jority ought to rule, and the present mon
etary standard should be maintained UNI
til the people want it changed. A silver
tie OF that sort compels respect.
The position occupied by Mr.. ST. John
is in striking contrast to that occupied
by the silver senators, who insist upon
forcing the people to accept free silver
coinage whether they want it or not They
cannot convince the people that a de-
based currency would be good thing
for the country, and so they propose to
use the advantage they have to accom-
plish their purpose against the peoples
will We submit that the course pur-
sued by Mr.. St. John is the one that
must command. the approval of fair-mind-
ed men, sa,s}I34

Not Europe, But America.
From New York Maritime Register Qnd

Stripped of all illusions, the real facts
in the case show that other nations hate
England and are anxious for her over
throw, simply because SHE has beaten
them all at the game of commerce. She is
all powerful because of her lead in trade.
And they cannot beat her until they take
her trade away They may buster and
talk of alliance to keep her within bounds,
but all this is talk, and should there be
a fight Europe Will get nothing for il.
The successor of Great Britain in COM
mercial supremacy will be the United
States. This is inevitable and is but the
outcome OF those irreyocable laws that
govern the progress of commerce. 1t is
commerce that will rule the world for
the next hundred years And in this Eu-
rope has no longer the lead.

From the Chicago rimes-HeraId nndo.

The silver schemers in the Senate can
talk to doomsday over their dishonest and
futile bill. The congress of the United
States will not enact one line of it into
law BY an impregnable majority the
House win repect every vicious proposal
of a financial nature. Meanwhile the
President will admit that in calling the
present bond output popular" bond is
sue he merely quoted the terms, as he
adopted the suggested methods. of his
critics; and if the plan fail the failure is
theirs not his. The real purpose of the
free silver plotters being confessed-and
foiled-the country can now proceed with
its legitimate business and pay no further
attention to free silver coinage plots or
plotters.

Presidential candidates are remarkable
for their reticence of speech. Mr.. Reed
is muzzled on the silver question. In this
message Gov. Mckinley is careful to con-
fine himself to state issues, and Gov. Nor
ton of New York is especially guarded in
the same way. All this is creditable to
the discretion of the candidates, but not
particularly so as to their candor or cour-
age When the times called for an ex-

finger than the three aspirants named

A smart convict at Blackwelrs Island
managed to live upon the fat of the land
by playing upon the credulity of the man
ayers of certain charities in a novel man
ner. He was an old man and was thought
to have some property. He did all he could
to impress that upon the visitors who came
from the charitable societies. He would
tell the representative of each society
that he was very sick man. had not
long to live. desired to join the special
branch of religion represented by the
agent, and would upon his death leave
all his property to that particular relig-
ion and charity. The result was that the
old fraud had all the fruits and delica-
cies of the season brought to him every
day He promised requests amounting to
nearly a quarter of a million dollars, to
pay which he would have left not penny
if he had died. He is still in prison, but
since his fraud has been found out. he is
not eating choice fruits and washing them
down with dry wines.
