for Great DPltain.
Chicago Tribune.
The leading feature Of the current North
American Review II a symposium OF nix
articles on the Beer war BY eminent writ
ers Of various nationalities. The writers
are James Bryce. Karl Blind. Francis
Charnscs, Max Nordeau. Andrew Carnegie,
and Demetrius c. Bouiser. Their utter
ances are almost uniformly adverse TO the
British cause IN South Africa. and the
symposium, as . whole. win bring small
comfort TO the war party In England The
unanimous sympathy OF Europe with the
Beers Il dweit upon ana analysed re-
vealing deepencd hostility to Great Brit
ain that threatens future trouble. The
British writer's agree with the others that
the pretext on which war was forced In
South Africa cannot be defended on legal
grounds. They further agree that Mr..
Chamberlains war policy Is likely to prove
ruinous even to the self-interest Of Great
Britain In South Africa.
Three Of these writer's venture the pre-
diction that the feeling OF bitterness en-
gendered among the Africanders will in
the long run lose the whole OF South
Africa to the British. This Thought t. es-
pecAiiy significant In view OF the fact
that the avowed object OF the war In to
establish British supremacy. II England
overreaching itself? by trying to seize
all, is II playing to lose all? James Brycas
though member Of the British parlA-
ment, says as much mt the close OF his
carefully guarded sketch OF the historical
causes Of the war. He says the war II a
calamity for Beers and British alike 1t
will permanently embitter the relations OF
Dutch and English ut may, indeed, pos
sibly mean the ultimate loss OF South
Africa"
Karl Blind and Andrew Carnegie adopt
the same line OF thought and expand 1t
more fully. Mr.. Blind calls to his aid
an interesting passage from book writ
ten by the late Lord Randolph Churchill,
In which the writer confessed that cool
reflection had convinced him that Mr..
Gladstone's policy Of withdrawal after
MajubA Hill was not weak sentlmentality
but sound statesmanship. Dutch sent!-
ment In Cape Colony had been 70 exasper-
ated by the injustice OF that war that, In
Lord Randolph Churchilps opinion. the
final triumph of the British arms, merely
by brute force. would have permanently
and hopelessiy alienated 4 from Great
Britain" Since tnen there has been the
evaporation of the Jameson raid. to which
IL now added the food Of sorrow and
hatred from the Transvaal war.
The soul OF the Africander idea Il that
Africa belongs to the Africanders. That
this spirit has been intensified hundred
foia by the war Is apparent in the utter
ances OF Olive Schre.ner. Mr.. Carnegie
brings direct evidence to show that most
of the outlanders themselves did not wish
to become burghers. The franchise was a
thin and untenable excuse for asserting
British supremacy. The injustice lying
at the root Of the affair leaves a feeling
Of bitterness whose extent is likely to
stagger the British az much as has the
unexpected resistance Of the Beers. What
the silent ferment.ng Of this hatred may
bring forth in years to come no man can
tell

tropical products into the United States
amount on an average to fully e2J0COe,0O0

The demands OF these islands for the

In response to demands for information
along these lines the treasury bureau OF
Statistics has prepared series of tables
showing the imports into the United States

other European countries. In the state

An Oily Talk.

Our friend Bow came to the rescue of
the Standard Oil Company i'll q recent
issue of The Hustler. The public. of
course, knows that our local merchants
are not to blame for the price of oil.
And now we are glad to know more,
and that the Standard Oil Company is
terribly slandered and lied about, while
all the time they have been bravely do
ing their best to give the people cheap
oil. They would have held the price
away down, and all would have been
light and lovely if the "tarnal' oil had
not slipped from the grip of the COM
pany like running colt, and kicked
the price skyward. 1t is great pity
that such benevolence as this company
possess should so abort and the people
have to pay more for oil.
Either Mr.. Bow is standing in the
shadow of his oil tanks and don't see
clearly, or the biggest liars on earth are
in Canada. Sworn testimony was taken
before the Dominion Commissioner
last week which went to show that the
Standard Oil Company were doing all
they could to limit the supply and push
up the price in Ontario. Perhaps in
crossing the line the company meet
with q change of heart. The sworn
testimony goes to show that refining
plants are being bought at three times
the cost value, shut up and abandoned
to make oil more plentiful. The
COMPANY know that the fewer the wells
pumped and refneries worked the more
plentiful oil will be and the dear people
will get it cheaper.
The sworn testimony shows further
that all railroads were under control
OF the same benevolent Standard Oil
Company, and that double rates were
charged on all competing oils-tO make
them flow into the Dominion in more
abundance, of course. These same ly-
Ing witnesses told Il further fact infer
entially. The five cents per gallon
tariff on oil is not wanted by the Can
muck people at all, but it is to help the
Standard Oil Company compete with
oils from the States.
We don't believe the Dominion Com-
mission are fools. Yet if all this testi-
mony was lies, they must have been a
little soft to listen to it. Perhaps a lie
on this side becomes solid truth as
soon as it crosses the Canadian line
Thousands Of square miles Of unde-
velOped oil fields are practically plugged
up by the Standard Oil Compamy--tO
make oil abundant and cheaper, of
course Come out from under the oil
tanks, Air. Bow, and get glimpse of
the truth.
