ENGLAND's HUMILIATION.

Thoughtful Americans are inclined
to symplthize with the British IN
their war with the Boers. There are
severa! reasons for this, but the chief
OF reasons is the belief in the theory
of the survival of the fittest."
There are great many Americans
who. regardless Of reason, pray for
Bier SUCCESS because they instructive
ly favor the weaker side in any strug-
gle.
Every British reverse increases the
ardor OF the Boer synpathztrs, while
it weakens the argument Of the pro-
British Americans. The Boer IS prov
ing the filter" Of the two contestants.
Disaster upon disaster is pinng upon
the English in South Africa. but Of all
the rcyerses, that Of Gensral Butler
is the most significant, and will prove
the most damaging to the British
cause. Bullar has b.en the pride and
hope Of England When General
White lost the greater part Of two
regiments at Ladysmith the London
plpers Ightened the gloom by referr-
ing to the preparations Of Butler
When Methuen suffered 80 heavily at
Modder river the people in England
were comforted with the thought that
Buler's anticipated stroke on the
burghers would compensate for tenn
pnrary backsets. Gaacre's night at
tack, although it ended IN signal de-
feat, was guaranteed 70 distract at
tention from the coming overpowering
rush Of Euler. And Butler now, has
failed.
London blames the generals, but the
American viii be inclined to
the judgment that the rank and file
OF the British army are unequal to
the task assigned them
Against such terrible blows ~ these
that are crowding fast upon one an
other, with their consequent effect
upon the unlocking world, are pltted
the great resources Of Great Britain.
That even those resources can stand
the test viii be questioned by Serious
minded men.

The report that the Northern Pacific
railroad will carry its point and COM
pei the y. r. & n. Company to grant
It traekage privileges into Portland is
not proper subject for rejoicing at
Astoria. 1t simply means a tighter
grip than ever against Astoria. 1t
shows the power Of the different CO.
ordinate members Of the railroad
combination against each. It makes
against the probability Of the Union
Pacific coming down 70 Astoria. Any
suppositlon that the Northern Pacific,
after its recent investment Of mil
lion and a nalf at Seattle, with the
other millions previously invested on
Puget sound, is in any way friendly
TO Astoria is irrational and ridiculous.
The probability is that the whole play
in the threat Of the Northern Pacific
to parallel the O. r. * n. was de-
signed to deter that road from con-
sidering the Astoria extension. Moth
ing can save Astoria but the effort
and courage Of her own citizens. They
are but a handful Of people against
hundreds Of thousands OF determined
and unscrupulous enemies. They have
little or no capital against perhaps
five hundred millions alreldy invest
ed, every iOllar Of which stands to
be more or less impaired by the de-
velopment of the Astoria situation.
The only hope for Astoria lies in the
enllghtment Of the people OF the CO.
lumbar basin as TO the merits Of the
Astoria proposition and their right
comprehension of the reason for
the powerful combination against
It, The duty and responsibility
for this course Of education de-
wolves upon the people Of As

interest in doing it but Astoria. with
