TIRED or HER GENERALS

London Correspondence of the New
York Times.
A week Of gnawng anxiety has
drawn to its close without bringing re-
lief in the shape of decisive war news.
We are getting heartily sick of the
daily hash Of victories, Boer bayonet-
ings. treacheries, surprises, lootings,
and so forth, and the mind Of the pub
lie is centered on two coming events,
the relief of Ladysmith and Kimberley.
Why has Lord Methuen been kept for
nearly fortnight apparently within
striking distance of the Diamond City?
What delays the chariot wheels of the
commander-in-chief in Natal? We are
beginning to distrust our generals.
Methuen Is called a Dragging fellow
and has come in for considerable
amount Of sly mockery over his tele-
gram about the Modder river fight be-
ing zone Of the hardest battles in the
annals Of the British empire" The
sarcastic correspondent Of one Of the
newspapers dryly pointed out that
Methuen lost little more than per
cent. of his force, against between 27
and nearly so per cent. killed and
wounded in some of the great battles
of the peninsular war.
We have begun, therefore, to cry out
for new general-in-chief, but this is
only unreasonfng Impotence. The diff
ficulties. as have told you more than
once, in the way of a rapid advance
are greater than people here have the
slightest conception of, and I am dis
posed rather to credit both the generals
in command of the forces now in
touch with the enemy with unusual
prudence in delaying their forward
movements until they can hope to I'M
dertake them with the minimum dan
ger Of defeat. Lord Methuen's rash
ness consisted in rushing SO far north
of the Orange river with insufficient
provision for supporting troops to pro-
tect his base. The danger arising from
his impetuosity should by this time
have been remedied.
German critics are again discussing
the possibility Of an invasion of the
Transvaal by way of Delagoa bay, and
some Of them insist that this is the
only route to follow if we expect to end
the war soon. Whether there Is mall
ice behind this suggestion or not. l
cannot Dramatically assert, but it is
probable that were we to be tempted to
break down the neutrality of Portu
gal and change our base to Lorenzo
Marquee, we should set Europe by the
ears, and presently find ourselves at
tackled at some weak point by one or
other of our many enemies.
Surely we shall presently have suffi-
cient troops in South Africa to be able

With the troops now on the way added

counting the 1900 or 1000 already cap
tured by the burghers. This calcula-
ton, I believe, does not include the
seventh division, now being scrambled
together from all the odds and ends
Of reservists, cavalry regiments, militia
!, and yeomen, the war office can lay Its
hands upon. We have denuded this
country Of troops, and ought to have
more than 100000 men in the field
few weeks hence, including the drafts
from the Indian, Australian, Canadian,
Cape and Natal volunteers. If that
force be not sufficient to accomplish
the purpose, woe betide us, for we are

Mr.. Chamberlain specially that these
nations hate; it Is Great Britain, and
his impudent words and foolish theatre
cal display Of likes and dislikes have
merely served to provide an oppor-
tunity for our enemies to tell us what
they think about us.
For example, we can henceforth have
no delusion about the feeling with
which our attack upon the two little
republics of South Africa is regarded
abroad, and as little about the senti-
ments entertained toward our imperial
masterfulness in all parts Of the world.
Europe would strike at us, every ma
ton in it, if it could, and the exhibi-
ton now being given to us of it's tenn
per and sentiments may we'll increase
the anxiety with which we watch
events at the seat Of war.

The Christmas Standard.

~ O-MORROW the Christmas num-
Der Of the Standard will be is
sued. The number will consist
of 60 pages and the Standard believes
that the people Of Montana will find
the paper well worthy of perusal from
cover to cover. 1t will be the largest
newspaper ever printed in the state,
more copies Of 1t will be printed than
have ever before been printed Of any
Montana newspaper, and it is believed
that the Judgment of the people will
be that the paper is the best that has
ever been issued in this state.
The pages will be found crowded
with interesting features 1t is pre-
eminently a Montana production. The
tales and articles are written by Mon
tana people, the pictures are represen-
tative of Montana scenes. All the
work. literary. artistic and mechanical,
is done in Montana.
Besides the many pages Of artistic
and literary merit, the Christmas STAN
dard will contain all the late news, To-
cal, state and associated press. The
tell the people of the state in the STAN
dard's advertising columns what they
have to offer in holiday goods. The
Standards many readers are advised
to examine thoroughly the advertising
columns Of the Christmas number be-
fore deciding on the holiday presents
that they will purchase.
With the Christmas Standard is a
superb colored cover Of four pages and
another supplement Of eight pages in
color and exquisite half tone work
The balance Of the paper will be di-
vided into three sections of sixteen
pages each. The first section will con-
tain the Geographic news, the news of
Anaconda, the editorial pages and the
society news. The second section of
sixteen pages will be devoted entirely
to Butte. The third section Of sixteen
pages will be devoted particularly to
Western Montana, Northern Montana,
Helena and Eastern Montana.

hence the condition upon which the
opinion was based had not been in ex-
istence.
What Mr.. Bryan meant, if he used
the expression at all, was that uni
versal enactment of the gold stand
ard would produce universal fall of
prices. He never meant, and he never
said, that the maintenance of the con-
dition which prevailed in 1886 would
cause a universal fall of prices. Mr..
Bryan knew better than Mr.. Dolliver
does that 1t would not affect prices any
where except in gold standard coun-
tries. and he knew that either an in
creased supply Of money, or an ex-
tension of credit would raise prices to
greater or less extent. His idea was
that an extension of the gold stand
ard would increase the demand for
gold and raise its value, which is only
another way of saying that prices
would fall.
In addition to this. Mr.. Dolliver looks
al the prosperity now Astounding and
sees in 1t conclusive evidence that the
gold standard is good thing. If a
year and half of moderately prosper
Gus times proves that the gold stand
ard is good thing, Mr.. Dolllver ought
to have exerted his great intellect for
few moments in telling the galleries
what twenty-four years Of almost I'M
interrupted hard times, under the same
standard, proved.
According to Mr.. Delivers line Of
augmentation, if we should have an
other crash, that ought to cause him
to change front again and conclude
that he had been humbugged with ref
erence to the rare excellence Of the
gold standard.

ALUMINIUM is A USEFUL METAL
1t Is Available for Many Purposes In tn
Mechanic Arts,

1t Is Available for Many Purposes in the
Mechanic Arts.
From Casters Magazine.
The principal uses of aluminium are too
many to be enumerated The properties
of the metal are akin to those Of cop
per and brass that broadly speaking
aluminium or one of Its light alloys
should, to large extent, replace both
copper and tin, and also nickel or German
silver. Such change would be followed
by various advantages to all concerned
Not only would there be a considerable
reduction in the weight of the articles.
but they would not tarnish nor turn black
on exposure to air. The cost should be
the same. If not actually lower, inasmuch
as, bulk for bulk, aluminium Is already
cheaper than copper or tin, and it's price
will continue to fall as the demand in
creases.
One field, however, remains which cop
per is bound to maintain as It's own,
namely the construction of isolated cleo
trical conductors. Experiments have al
ready been made on a large scale with
bare conductors of aluminium for tele-
phones. with perfectly satisfactory re-
suits, its conductivity. weight for weight,
being double that of copper. But when
the mains have to be insulated copper is
absolutely unapproachable on account of
its greater conductivity, volume for vol
ume, which Is 10 per cent. of that Of
aluminium.
Besides the advantages set forth above
aluminium is not poisonous, and is pre-
eminently adapted for the manufacture
of cooking utensils. A steady demand
for aluminium is springing up in various
kinds of printing processes as well as in
Hthography. The metal appears to answer
admirably for the construction of rollers
used in calico printing and when it's sur
face is properly prepared it is also cap
able of replacing the ordinary lthograph-
lie stone. 1t can easily be imagined that.
instead of having cumbrous and heavy
stones, which can be printed only on
special sow-running "litho' machines,
it is far better and cheaper to use Thin
sheets of metal which can be bent into
circular form and printed on rotary
presses.
Bicycles, electric light fittings, chains.
brides, stirrups, surgical Instruments,
Keys. cigar cases, pen and pencil holders,
toilet articles, plates and Dishes. spoons
FORKS, frames, name plates, door furni-
ture, nat and coat pegs, boot trees fire
engine fittings, business and visiting cards
and Photographic cameras are a few OF
the things that are being daily made in
aluminium by various firms.
FOR motor cars there should be a large
field for aluminium A further demand for
the metal will be brought about by its
Introduction into the military service All
parts OF the. soldiers equipments have
practically been made of aluminium sucn
as mess tins, water bottles. buttons, hel-
NETS. parts of rifles, cartridge cases, fit
tlngs for guns. tents, horSesnoes, portable
bridges, ETC., and it is we'll known that
continental armies. notably the German
army, are employing aluminium on large
scale.

~ VERIFYING now indicates that
the war in the Transvaal will
be considerably prolonged
While the Boer victories have not as
yet seriously impaired the fighting
strength OF Great Britain, they may
have an important bearing upon public
opinion, and thus influence the final
settlement.
There is an element of some strength
in Great Britain that regards the war
with disfavor, believing that the Brit
fsh government is in the wrong. The
longer the war continues the more
thoroughly will its merits be discussed
in the public forum, am the heavier
the losses of the British army, the
more anxiously will the people begin to
inquire what it is all about
The inhabitants of Great Britain are
not generally so well Informed upon
public questions as are those of the
United States. It is entirely within
bounds to say that not one-fourth of
the common people of England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales have the
faintest conception Of the real merits
OF the question at issue But the more
1t is discussed the better they will UNI
derstand u. and as a result British
opinion may undergo a marked change
Up to the present time the govern
ment has been supported mainly by
that intense loyalty which leads the
average Englishman to always stand
by his country, right or wrong; but a
blind, uneducated sentiment will gen.
orally weaken under reverses, and take
occasion to educate itself.
Cne who approaches the subject
without bias either way, finds it diff
cult to discover anything in the En-
glish side Of the case, as stated by
Mr.. Chamberlain, to call for any ex-
travagant manifestations of loyalty, Or
fortitude in the face Of disaster. The
claim of suzerainty seems to be a
doubtful one at the best, and even if
It be well founded. it does not deter
mine the questions in controversy. IT
merely entities England to voice in
the foreign affairs of the Transvaal.
while the conflict has been precipi-
