\ Nebraska despatch, printed by the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat. reports some re-
marks made last week in an address at
Albion by Nebraska Democrat, Major
ROBERT FITZHUGH, lately of Gen. MAC
ARTHuR's staff in the Philippines. Major
FITZHuGH was severe in his criticism OF the
Democratic idol, AGuINALDo The Major
saw with his own eyes the proclamation
calling on tho followers Of this leader to
put to death every man, woman and child
not a native. He also told of conversation
had with those whose relatives had been
put to death for refusing to sympathize
with AdUINALDo."
Is Major FITzHUGH aware that he is talk
ing about one Of the heroes OF the world, the
SAM ADAMS, JOHN HAMPDEN and GEORGE
WASHINGTON OF the Tagals, the last hope Of
government by the consent OF the gov
erned, and the dauntless champion OF free
dom and the Democratic party? Would
this enlightened and lofty-minded person
wish to put anybody TO death without the
consent OF the killed?
The very moment that Major FTTzuUGH
was using these harsh expressions in re-
gard to the Tagalog WASHINGTON, that sole
surviving defender OF the Declaration OF
independence may have been praying foI
the success OF tho Democratic party.

short-sighted British Government that 1t
cannot now avail itself Of that harbor for
military purposes.
When Sir ROBERT MORlER was the
British Minister at Lisbon in the later
seventies, the Transvaal had been annexed
to Great Britain, and no apprehension OF
amy immediate disturbance in that quarter
was felt. Nevertheless, the kalllr war OF
1873, followed ~ it was by the Zulu war,
showed the necessity OF securing some sort
OF control over the Portuguese port OF
Lorenzo Marques, and thus obtaining
speedy access to the interior. After pro
lpngrl negotiations, Sir ROBERT MoRIEH
succeeded in securing the assent OF the
Lisbon Government to n treaty signed on
May 30 1879 whereby, besides CONNER
cial advantages, England secured the right
to embark anddisrmbark troops, stores and
munitions of war at Lorenzo Marques, and
to have free passage for them from and to
the British dependencies across the Portu-
guese dOmniOns. NOsuOner were he terms
of the treaty known than vehement pro-
test against them was made by the OPPOSE
ton i'm the Portuguese Cort"S, but there is
no doubt that had the British Government
the resistance would have collapsed. As u
matter of fact, the British Government
accepted the successive pr"tcxts for pro-
crastination put forward by the Portuguese
representative in London, and, in 1881,
when Mr.. GLADSTONE decided to restore
tho Transvaal to the Beers, tho Moricr
Treaty was still unratiiicd
Its author then addressed to the British
Foreign Office an urgent plea on its behalf,
pointing out that, however great had been
previously the Importance of gaining the
right to use Delagoa Bay for the benefit of
England's South African possessions the
importance had been doubled by Engiands
withdrawal from the Transvaal. No
more Cfrectual mean, he said of
enforcing the rights reserved to the
Imperial Government under the Conven-
ton OF 1881 could be devised than
those secured under the treaty of 1879.
For, either the Beers would fulfil the ex-
pcctations upon which Mr.. GLADsroNE's pol
ley toward them was based, in which case
tho Tran7vaal would share the CONNER
cial advantages of the Acknowledgment
treaty; or it would not fulfil such cxpecta-
tons and England would be driven sooner
or later, to renewed Intervention, in view
of which contingency it was but common
prudence to acquire control of the only
railway 10y which the Beers could ever
hope to gain independent communication
with the sea.
CoEcnt as his argument seems, the Glad
stone Government Of 1SSO-1SS5 and its
immediate successors could not be prevailed
upon to heed IT, and the treaty Of 1879 was
allowed to drop into oblivion. Sir ROBERT
MoRIER himself considered that treaty
the worthcst achievement in his highly
crcditablc career, and the merit Of it is,
doubtless, sufficiently patent to the British
War Office just now. while it is pondering
over the problem of transporting the army
under Sir REpvERs BUTLER from the sea-
coast to Pretoria.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1899-10-30

While the mass of the British people are
occupied with watching the course of mill
tary events in South Africa, and enthusi
astically supporting their Government in
its efforts to defeat tho Transvaal Re-
public, the more sobcr-minded among them
are forccasting the probable cost OF the
undertaking, and considering the means OF
paying for it. 1t Is conceded that the
GlO,OOO,OOO just voted by Parliament is
only the first installmcnt of an amount
the limits to which cannot yet be fixed, and
the question is, how much shall be raised
by taxation, and how much by borrowing.
Temporarily, all the money needed can
be borrowed, but this resource will, it ID
seen, have to be supplemented by an adj
dition OF at least a penny on the pound to
the income tax, and by increases OF the
malt and tho tobacco taxes.
Either way the war will be a heavy burden
upon the British people, of which they
will undoubtedly try to compel their enc
mics, when they have conquered them, to
bear II part. AS the taxable property in
the Transvaal consists chiefly OF mines
belonging to foreigners, any contribution
which the Republic is forced to make will
come from foreign pockets and not from
those of the Beers. Since, however the
war has been undertaken for the express
purpose of relieving the mine owners from
the oppressive taxation OF the Boer
Government, which, it is alleged, might
be greatly reduced without dctriment to
the Republics finances, it may be that.
under British control, a considerable reim-
burscment can be had from the mines with
out their paying as much az they do now.
AS the London Economist remarks: "Of
the four and half millions or so Of reve-
nue. raised by the Transvaal Government a
large portion has been squandered on arma-
mcnts for which, under a better condition
OF affairs, there would be no necessity, and
many hundred thousands Of pounds more
have stuck to the fingers of corrupt
oligarChy. Under a purer and better
administration the cost of government
could be SO greatly reduced that even
II the Transvaal we're called upon to
assume n war debt OF ten, or even
twenty millions, the burden Of that
would be light in comparison with the
economics that might be effected, and a
considerably smaller revenue than that
which has been raised hitherto would
suffice to meet all requirements
