England is wrong, entirely and de-
cidedly wrong, in her war upon the
South African republics. She is charge.
able with the war and in no maner jus.
tihabe. Should she lose. as she did
here a century ago, she will have snf-
fered no more than she deserved. This,
az between herself and the Beers.
AS between her and our country, it
may be liukened to two warm personal
friends, one OF whom goes wrong and
gets into trouble: the other, realizing
that his friend is in the wrong, in his
own heart condemns him, yet intelferes
not against him, unless third or fourth
party, not directly entering into the
first question of right or wrong, inter
feres to "double- team" upon his friend:
he then comes forward and actively
take his friends part.
We know that, as against the Beers,
England is wrong, but she has been our
sterling and seryiceable friend in the re-
cent past and we maintain strict neu-
trality, but let France or other Euro
peau powers take part against her and
we will say to them: "England's wrong
done the Beers is no wrong of yours:
keep hands off," unless we mistake the
tho sentiments of an overwhelming ma
jority Of the American people.
We must keep out of it so long as the
Beers are England's only antagonists;
a simple sense of grateful feeling to,
wards the latter for all that her moral
support earned for US in the Spanish
war, dictates to US such policy, but if
in revenge or for conquest, France or
others, avail themselves of an opportu-
nifty and make common cause with the
Beers against Britain, it will require
the hand OF master pilot at the wheel
to guide US through the complications
that will arise, due to the kindly feel
ing that has sprung up within the past
year and half to the war spirit that
is abroad in our land and to the great
commercial interests that would be
stake.
The Beers should win in their war
with Great Britain, but so far as this
nation is concerned, they must do it
single-handed and alone.
