Thus far in the South African controversy
the Beers have shown no resemblance what
ever to the traditional under dog for
which sympathy is always certain to exist
indeed, the Beers program. both in diplo-
macy and in war, has been such as to les
sen this sentiment toward them on the part
OF the outside world. Both parties to the
controversy are doubtless responsible for
the fact that negotiations which should
clearly have ended in peace have not thus
terminated. The Beers had a champion

was insisting upon prolongation of the
negotiations IL the hope of averting war
and which apparently could have been re-

How can the same people who represent
the President in one sentence as d design
ing usurper represent him in the next as a
functiOnary who has will or mind of his
own, and who spends his time with his ear
TO the ground trying to find out what peo-
pie think? This latter accusation we be-
Heve to be well founded. The President as
he has himself said half dozen times, has
not and never has had any policy" except
TO do what he believed his fellow citizens
thought right and eXpcdent. Moreover
we believe that he has rightly Interpreted

for few moments. The busy street can
oil serve the appearance of the individual
who confidently approaches wheel and
rolls away upon it. And it would seem that
when once the wheel is separated from
its owner it would be next to impossible
to detect it, so much alike are the hun
dreds of thousands of bicycles used in the
cities. Yet system has been perfected
whereby it is now difficult for a thief to
turn his spols into profit save by awaiting
himself of the medium of the fence
Honest dealers will not buy a wheel with
out closely examining it and comparing its
features and number with a list of thefJs
reported from the various police head
quarters. The police have entered into re-
lations with the wheel dealers similar to
those with the pawnbrokers. The dishon-
est dealer and the professional fence, of
course, are the real menaceS to the wheel
owners, but the price of bicycles drops,
owing to the competition and the cheaper
ing of material and processes of manu-
facture, the profits of wheel stealing run
lower, until it is questionable whether
the chance of gain is worth the risk. If

cation in this city a clue can be found to

combinations of thieves. fences" and in

Mr. schurz i'm Opposition.

Mr. Schurz AT Chicag, laid great stress
on the fact that We went to war with Spain
on behalf ot humanity in Cuba, and that
We are now engaged in asserting authority
by force in the Philippines. He quotes the
President disclaiming criminal aggression
in the matter Of Cuba. and to his own
satisfaction Convicts the President out of
his own mouth in the matter Of the Philip
pines Mr. Schurz cannot have forgotten
the civil war lie was an actor In that
struggle. and one of the naggers of Mr..
Lincoln. So persistent WAS he indeed in his
criticism Of the management of the Union
cause in that war. that Mr.. Lincoln COM
plimented nm by the only really severe re-
buke he administered during the whole Of
that unhappy time. The letter is well re-
membered.
But the particular point which Mr.. Schurz
ought To- recall now is the nagging To winch
Mr.. Lincoln was subjected not by him but
by those who were tender on the subject
Of slavery. The border states We're full of
these men. and when it was announced
that the slaves were to be freed. they rose
up in indignant chorus and reminded him
that he had expressly declared at the out
set that the war not to be waged for
the liberation of the blacks but Tor the
preservation Of the Union. and they de
There was of course but one reply TO this,
and that Mr.. Lincoln with all frankness
made He showed that the whole case had
been altered by the progress of the strug-
gle. and that he must meet the emergencies
as they arose. Originally he had no
thought of an emancipation proclamation.
Now ne must take that step in the interest
of the Union. The choice now was between
the Union and slavery, and everything must
yield 10 the interests Of the Union. And 50,
refusing fatty To be held by his first deca-
ration to slavery, he freed the slaves
without hesitation when he became con-
WINGED that he owed it 10 the cause of the
Union TO DO 50.
The dellverance as to criminal agrees
sion in the case of Cuba was entirely sin
cere on the Presidents part. The country
had no other object in going to Cuba than
To expel Spain. The Philippines were not

brought the government face to face with
an unexpected and undesirable situation in
another quarter. 1t found itself responsible
Tor law and order in the Philippines, and
suddenly. without fault on its part, it was
obliged To use force against the very people
whose good ii was seeking. Was that
criminal aggression" is 1t criminal ag-
gression' now? BuL, admitting the I'M
pleasantuess Of the task, and the variance
from the original proposition, could any
other course with honor to the government
have been taken?

d rebuke from Mr.. Mckinley as he received
from Mr.. Lincoln, but he richly deserves it,

is admitted in London that the formation
of a great army of both regulars and re-
serves will have an effect upon the Cont
mental mind. 1t is not necessary that such
a demonstration be demanded by any spe-
cific threat even the possibility of such a
threat. For one reason and another the
British army has of late years not been as
highly rated on European war books as
formerly. Its fame to numbers and po-
tential efficiency has been ec!ipsed by that
of several of the Continental armies.
England has had no occasion to place a
great force in the field and to disclose the
full reserve power of her machine
since the Crimean' war in 1853. when the de-
fects of her military system were disclosed.
The various encounters with the savages of
Africa and the hiii-men of India have never
called for more than the regular forces. 1t
is now believed that the English authori
ties recognize The value of a present object
lesson to the full meaning and capacity
of England's military system. which relies
so largely upon the people for its ultimate
strength. According to the latest obtaina
BILE statistics the English army, regulars
and volunteers. consists of 40 100 men. Of
these about III 400 are regulars In the home
and colonial service, 5000 are of the army
reserve. 10000 of the militia. 1880 of the
yeomanry, $4,000 of the volunteers and
$1,000 of the Indian army.
There have now been called out the army
reserves and the militia. giving, together
with the home and colonial regulars and
the Indian army, a total force under orders
of about l6i, 400 leaving e15,9OO men yet TO
! be summoned. OF those now under orders
| only 32I, 400 are available for foreign ser
vice under the law. The militia, yeomanry
| and volunteers are intended strictly for
home defense. though they may accept for
eign service if they vote as organiZa-
lions The volunteers, who have not as yet
militia in that their organization is not so
perfect and they do not receive bounty
although they are provided with the neces-
sary equipment. The militia are under

In boyhood dreamed of loud applause
For an adventurous soldiers rank.

For fame or fortune--or for bread

Such wealth that lords must bow the

Speeds tholghtless darts which cause a

A laughing world will mock and jeer.

End of the Cleveland Roycott.

From the Chicago Times Herald
The failure of this boycott is not a blow
10 organized labor. Had 1t succeeded it
would no doubt have furnished a tempta-
ton to repeat the experiment elsewhere
and in the end more serious troubles than
those at Cleveland would have resulted. 1t
has been shown that lawiessness and un-
fairness will not be tolerated in the en-
lightened communities of this country Nor
is the lesson for labor alone. Corporation
also may profit by it. If the people of
Cleveland had combined for the purpose of
lighting boycott instituted by gas com
pany, railroad company or any other cor
pOratiOn, their success would have been
just as certain as it was under the circum-
stances.
Neither capital nor labor can afford to
make war against the public, and the peO-
pie of Cleveland are to be congra tulated
