q conflict; but q conflict should have
been avoided by diplomacy until the
country was ready for hostilities. II Is
evident that the Beers have been pre-
pairing for q long time and that their
plans were well laid Their forces were
ready for mobilization. they we're well
armed. they had plenty of ammunition
In stock and the campaign had all been
mapped out. England has shown her
SELF to have been very imperfectly pre-
pared. and she is compelled 10 act on
the defensive In her own territory.
No doubt the end OF the Beer war VIII
be the same as in the soudan: but the
cruelty OF the blunder that England
has made IL not limited to the valuable
lives which have been recklessIy flung
away. II viii extend far beyond the
close Of the war. Had Great Britain been
prepared and thrown such an over
wheiming force into the field that the
Beers would have succumbed without
loss Of life they would have grumhied,
bat would have accepted 1t as utter folly
to have gone TO war AS IL is now.
they have been exasperated by blood
shed. their success has made them be-
iieve more firmly than ever that their
government was right In resisting the
demand for concessions. and even when
defeated there will be-a bitterness which
would have been entirely avoided by
British success from the start.
James Bryce has expressed the condi-
ton by his remark that "self- govern
ing colonies can only be retained by
friendliness and not by force Of arms"
Victory over the Beers now will not
change their feeling nor subdue their
spirit. The opening up OF South Africa
to civilization and commerce will be a
blessing. but we very much fear that the
poor policy Of Great Britain wiz create
another Ireland. and that. too. In a.
place where control will be less effectual.

ONE MORE GREAT CRIME.

The awful disease of totempolitis takes
perplexing forms. 1t plays strange tricks
on the mental processes and moral per-
ceptions of its victim. For instance. It
leads him to denounce as criminal in an
other an action that IN himself he defends
as entirely virtuous and praiseworthy. To
be more specific:
Last summer Mr.. Hartman, a millionaire
chartered the steamer Elder and, with
number OF scientific gentlemen as guests.
made most interesting trip to Alaska. the
Aleutian islands and to the coast of Siberia.
On the return voyage the steamship
stopped at Fox island, and the scientific
gentlemen landed and from what they de-
scribe as a deserted Indian village hewed
down and carried away several totem
poles. The circumstances Of the enter
prise and the motives that inspired IL were
in all respects similar 10 the later some
what celebrated adventure at Port Tongass
OF the Seattle business mems excursion.
Returning to this city. Mr. Hartman dis
tributed his Indian treasures to various re-
oipienss. and among others gave a totem
pole to the state university. Being q wall
liable gift 1t was received with due graft
tude. and now occupies an honored and
conspicuous position In the university nu-
scum.
Now, the appropriation OF totem poles In
Alaska has been roundly denounced and
eloauentiy characterized by our soft
spoken contemporary. the Times, as van
daiism. sacrilege. theft, and as robbery OF
Indian graveyards. and 1t has expressed
It's indignation at the outrage in language
just a tfifie more forcible than polite. The
persons who secured the pole were held
up to public scorn as felous. and the city
council of Seattle was attacked for being
a receiver OF stolen property. Blu. II tho
business mems excursion. which took one
pole. is TO be regarded as criminals what

fend the state university which has thus
