THE SOUTH AFRICAN PROBLEM.

Whether or not Germany interferes WIN
Great Britain's operations in South Africa, the
situation in shat quarter Of the globe is unques-
tionably critical No mere local issue is in
yolyed. Throughout the vast region from the
Cane TO tn, Zambesi uncertainty and unrest
prevail. Color looks suspciously upon color
and race upon race All the elements OF uni
yersal conflict are at hand. A single untoward
act or even an indiscreet word may SET 'hat
conflict to raging, not only at Pretoria and Jo-
hannesburg, but at Cape Town and DurDan' ana
at Kimberley and Buluwayo.
The origin Of the trouble is in the Transvaal
and in the German anti-Brtish intrigues which
have been carried on there In the last few years.
The German Emperor has ii in mind to gam
pCsscssion of the Transvaal, partly because OF
its enormous wealth, partly In the hope OF Ell
fccting junction between 1t and Damaraland
and thus forming transcontincntal empire,
and partly for the sake Of spiting Great Britain.
The Roers were therefore encouraged to OPP
press the British colonists and deny them civil
rights. That led to the trouble of year and
a half ago eliminating in the Jameson raid,
rs q result Of which enmity was aroused be-
tween the Transvaal and Great Britain. Nor
was that the only i'll result The old race an
tagonsm between Dutch ard English, which
had long been forgotten. was revived through
out all South Africa. For years the progressive
and intelligent Dutchmen of Cape Colony and
Natal had been entirely loyal to Great Britain.
They had even sided with the British and
against the Beers at the beginning Of the Out.
lander controversy in the Transvaal But the
Jameson raid unsettled them. Many Of them
are now inclined 10 resent anything like Brit.
ish coercion Of the Transvaal. and in case Of
war with that Republic enough Of them might
openly side with their kinsmen 10 cause seri-
Gus trouble in the British colonies.
As for the Orange Free State, hitherto friendly
to Great Britain, II, too, has taken alarm ana
las gone to the extraordinary length Of plcdg-
ing itself to join the Transvaal in any war that
NAV be fought for the latter's independence.
And that the Transvaal, under German cncour-
agement, is actually preparing for such war
there can be no doubt. In the last year more
than million dollars has been spent in fortih-
cations and armament. and all able bodied men
spend much of their time In drill and target
practice To crush the Transvaal Beers would
he no slight task, even for Great Britain To
defeat the Orange Free State. too. would be

of the people can again be expressed than 10
have the whole country subjected to the meal
culable loss of another year under Democratic
tariff for deficit. The people wto talk OF ADAM
doning the bill unless it is shaped TO their liking
in the Senate have not taken Sufficient counsel
with their patriotism and their prudence, anu
will doubtless think more wisely when the 'iiic
comes. even If they are disappointed.
There are parts Of the bill which It Is I'M
portant TO alter. and there need be no doubt that
sound Republicans will make the effort as
matter of duty to their party and the country
Because some Democrats fancy 1t would help
them to cause Republican dissensions they Will
harp upon such points as they think most Vui-
ncrable. indulging the hope that in some way
the measure as whole may fail But me oher
ing of amendments in the Senate cannot be pre-
vented. and if amendments of real Importance
TO the country are offered Senators will not
hesitate to improve the measure so far rs the!
can Nor should this work take very much
time The truth is that most pf the time spent
in debate Is wasted by men not of the first rank
in any party. who seize tie opportunity to al
vertise themselves. Unless the Democrats IN
duge their least sensible members in offering
amendments purely for obstruction the work OF
deciding upon the details Of the bill should not
take as long as many suppose il Will. ana Tor
the first time in many years the sagacions lead
ers of both parties are at heart anxious that a
new tariff should become a Jaw with little delay
The Democrats themselves know well how IN
dustries and business are affected while the
present tariff remains in force.
1t pleascs some Democrats to say that the Re
pubicans will force the bill through caucus
and stfc amendments, and then refuse COM
mittee Of conference with the House. In order
10 compel that body to take the bill without
alteration. or fail TO pass any tariff bill. Inc
notion IS premature. and belongs TO what Is
known TO newspapers as 1.-The silly season.
The House in such case would not need long
to send TO the Senate n new BILL the one passed
by the House with such amendments by the
Senate as seem desirable and on its part to
throw back the responsibility No childish con-
troversy is to be expected The sober men OF
the Senate are too fully aware of their RESPONSE
bllity and the needs Of the country to invite
any quarrel between the two houses. Their
earnest efforts will be TO secure the passage or
sound protective measure as early as they can.

THE NEW MUSIC SUPERVISOR.

The appointment Of Mr. Frank Damrosch as
Sunervsor of Music in the public schools is in
all respects admirable. 1t is one that every
body who has the least interest in the cultivation
of singing as a proper and necessary part OF
the education of children will rejoice at. The
reasons for rejoicing are plain. There has Tor
years been a perfunctory attempt at teaching
music in the New-York public schools, but it has
not been done on well-cOnsidered plan, nor has
II followed the modern and logical methods that
have proved successful elsewhere. The time
and money spent upon it have in great measure
been thrown away because it was Impossible
that any results Of value should follow the I'M
systematic, fragmentary instruction which was
given. and which had little actual relation to
knowledge Of music as living reality Mr..
Damrosch is a teacher of conspicuous power
who has made a name from the signal success
of his interesting experiment in the teaching of
music TO large masses Of people The Peoples
Singing Glasses and the Peoples Choral Union
have hourished in this city under his direction
for the last four years. The success Of these
organizations has seemed little short or mlracu-
lous to those who have seen the results as made
public in their annual concerts. The only mira
Gle. however. has been in the sound and logical
which have aroused and attracted the interest
of the young working men and women under
his charge and have given them power to pene-
trate a hitherto unsupported world of enjoy
ment-that of the great works Of choral music.
The selection of Mr.. Damrosch. it may be as
sumed will mean that similar methods Of teach
ing will be applied n the public schools ana
that the children there will henceforward he
taught to sing in way that will have loglcal
outcome in the possibility Of progress indefinite
w. II NAV also be taken for granted. we fancy,
that the teaching of singing in the public schools
needs no defence at this day. and that teaching
which will make music'a pleasure and stiInu-
lus and a spiritual force for good Is the kind
that should be given. That there can be such
teaching the Peoples Singing Glasses are living
witnesses TO prove. 1t is not sacrifice OF the
pupils time nor a burdensome addition to their
studies; 1t is the substitution of good methods
for bad We congratulate Mr.. Damrosch on
the great opportunity for good that lies before
him. and the School Board on its wise selection

any rate enough has been said and published
on the subject since the intmation was given
out Of purpose on the part OF the Ctizens
Union to start of with nominations. before
their enrolment Is complete or their organlza
ton perfected. to show that positive and wide
difference Of opinion exists among those who
must be depended upon for Its final success. Is
It best to widen that difference and make the
breach irreparable? Is not one OF the welghtest
objections to the machine rule, against which
this movement is mainly directed. that small
coterle of active professional politicians dictate
the policy and name tho candidates Of either
party? Will not that objection hold against any
other coterie-no matter how we'll established
their character for unselfishness Of motive ana
purity of purpOse--who undertake the same
methods? Finally, is it not worth while TO take
time for consideration and consultation before
taking the risks Of hasty action?
We do not by any means impugn the motives
of the gentlemen who are urging immediate
nominations. They are undoubtedly sincere

utmost sincerity have wrecked great causes by

most pcrplexirg bits Of business Her Majesty
Government has had on hand for many year.
The black race must also be taken into ac-

Yet that would greatly increase the bitterness
between the two races: and If from show Great
Britain had to go on to actual Use Of force tho
consequences would be indescribably serious.
The two races cannot live together on equal
terms in perpetual enmity. Either there must be
friendship between them, ms there has been at

THE SITUATION.

The public anxiety in regard TO the speedy
passage of a good tariff bill has been greatly
diminished by the success of the Republicans in
the Senate committee in agreeing upon meas
ure which they are willing and, with the as
sistance Of Senator Jones, Of Nevada, are able
10 report TO the Senate without delay. Those
who have any conception Of the labor required
TO 20 over q measure like this, item by item. in
vestigating the bearings Of each upon industry
and business. and upon other items of the tariff,
will be not disposed to complain of the commit
tee for delay but to render il credit for speed in
accomplishing so soon the work II has done. And
whether the results Of its work are wholly ap-
proved or not. the committee must also have
high praise for keeping its action and intention
entirely secret, so that the scandal OF Congress
sional speculation on the effect of decisions in
committee has this year been as completely
lacking as 1t was in 1894 conspicuous. 1t is gen.
orally believed that The supporters of the meas
,lre are in number enough to pass 1t, not merely
because the addition of the new Senator from
Kentucky gives them a clear majority In that
body according TO n canvass just made and
published, but also because there are known TO
be other Senators who will take care TO put the
tariff question out Of the way as speedily as they
can, whether the measure altogether suits them
or not
1t does not follow that the bill Is approved or
will pass in every detail as reported That is
quite another matter Senator's will do their
best to improve the bill according to their CON
victions, SO far as they can. and all the more
earnestly because they realize that they cannot
refuse to vote for 1t as vast Improvement on
the present tariff, and an absolutely necessary
relief for the public credit, even though correc-
tons which they most earnestly desire are not
made 1t is better to stand mistaken provision
on one point or another for year. until the Will
