BoKe METHODS In WAR.

The British correspondents in South
Africa seem to think it necessary to
bolster up the cause of the English by
making it appear that the Beers disre-
gard the laws of civilized warfare and
resort to the acts of treachery common
of last weeks fighting repeatedly stated
that the Beers raiseds flags of truce al d
then fired upon responding parties of
British; but 1t is to be noted that in not
a single instance did the official reports
sent to London contain such assertions.
The contrary has been true of the
whole conduct of the war on the Beers
side. Official statements bear out the
assertion that the Beers have repeatedly
gone out of their way to show acts of
respect and kindness toward their foes,
where the latter were helpless. That
the English officers knew this kindly
trait Of their opponents is shown by the
fact that " lien the British were forced
to evaculfc Glencoe and Dundee, they
left thrd their wounded, together with
surgeons. nurses aud medical stores.
That their confidence in the humane 10.
stncts of the burghers was not mis-
placed is best shown by what followed
Gen. Joubcrt of the Transvaal forces
kept Gen. White of the English army
at Ladysmth so well posted on the
progress of the wounded English soldiers
that it was nearly a week before the
public became aware of the fact that the
wounded mentioned In the dispatches
were in the hands of the enemy. And
when Gen. Symons, one Of the wounded,
died, Gen. JOubert not only at once
notified Gen. White, but also sent a
personal telegram of coincidence to Lady
Symons in England.

The three campaign orators who have
attracted most attention this year are
Bryan, Roosevelt and Hanna.
The only genuine orator of the trio is
Bryan. An impartial view of our public
affairs for the last three years must result
in the conclusion that real orator has
been developed in him. Bryan has ell
oquence, readiness and persuasive power
in a rare degree. 1t is idle to deny him
the possession of these qualities. If we
may take the testimony of those who
know him, he is honest, pure and sincere
in his character. He has shown not only
sweet and forbeaIing disposition under
abuse, but a remarkably sound Judgment
| in his manner of meeting it, and an un-
usual fairness toward his political OPP
ponents in his method of argument.
Roosevelt Is a man who had something
of the same traits as Bryan in the egin-
ming of his political career He too was
honest, able and upright. We are suf-
ficiently charitable toward him to sup
pose that he means to be so still. But
he is very different from Bryan in other
respects He is lacking in the quality of
moderation and fairness in meeting an
adversary, and he is conspicuously de-
ficient In discretion. He has abandoned
Independence and gone into the uDquali-
fled service OF party. There has been no
man on the stump who is more intOlerant
toward political opponents, none less dis
posed to do justice to political adver-
sary. 1t may make him more popular
with the extreme men of his party as a
candidate for the presidency, but his de-
ficiency of discretion, which he does not
seem to have overcome, will, we think,
be serious obstacle to his availability.
OF Hanna less needs to be said. He is
the type of the INSCRIPTIONS politician
in oratory. He seems to feel no RESPONSE
bilty beyond producing effect for the
mOment-nO care for the veriticatiOn of
what he offers as facts in his speeches.
No Oratorical reputation of value was
ever attained in such a way.

and they and the liberated prisoners were
escorted to the lines. How many Eng
lish commanders would show like con.
sideration for Boer wife?
AT the outbreak of the war President
Kruger gave the English residents eight
days in which to leave the country or
to secure written permission to remain.
At the same time he issued a notice to
his people warning them of the punish
ment to be meted out for the molcsta-
ton of any Englishman to whom per-
Transvaal. Those who left the country
were escorted by train to the borders,
with armed guards to insure their safety.
We are told by censored English dis
patches that the squadron of hussars
captured by the Beers on the occasion
of the great and dazzling English victory
at Elandslaagte were sent to Pretoria by
special train, the officers having first
class car set aside for their use; and
that on their arrival at the Boer capital
great crowd of burghers were out to
see them, but offered no insult of any
kind as the prisoners were marshalled
through the town to the place of their
deteptlou-the same place in WHICH the
Jameson raiders were imprisoned How
many English crowds would have re-.
Trained from ieers of derision, If not
bodily insult, on such an occasion?
At the recent peace conference at The
Hague, it was decided to be too barbar-
Gus method of warfare to drop explo-
slves from balloons, and a vote against it
was registered. a similar vote against
the use of explosive bullets was defeated
by England. South African dispatches
tell us that when the Boer army marched
into Glencoe and Dundee, after the
evacuation by Gen. Yule and his Eng
fish forces, they found large stores of
dumdum bullets, and that these were de-
stroyed by order of President Kruger.
Early in the fighting the English press
went into paroxysms of delight over two
reports from Kimberley and Mafeking,
respectively, The first was that train
load of dynamite was sent out of Kim
berley and abandoned to the Beers, who
promptly attacked it. In the explosion
which followed many Beers were killed.
From Mafeking came the story that a
body of English soldiers made a sortie,
and then retreated slowly in order to
draw the Beers after them. When they
had enticed the enemy into certain po-
sition, mines of dynamite were exploded
in the midst of the unsuspecting burghers
and over fifty were killed outright, be-
sides hundreds being mangled. Con-
trast these records. If later in the can =
paign the Beers resort to the great stores
of dy Mantle held at Pretoria under the
government monopoly, watch for the
expressions of horror in the English
press. Enough has been quoted to
create the suspicion that this cry of
Boer treachery is raised to drown the
cry of British barbarism.

The issue is one OF far-reaching importance. A
