WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER Is, 1899

The retirement of w. n. Armstrong
from the editorship of the Advertiser
takes away from the journalistic ranks
one who has been connected with the
local press in various ways for many
years, and who has occupied high gov
ernmental positions such as Attorney
General, Commissioner of Labor and so
forth. Whenever Mr.. Armstrong may
go he carries with him the Aloha of his
fellow laborers in the journalistic and
in the political field. To Walter G..
Smith who now assumes the editorship
of the morning paper The Star extends
the hand of friendship, knowing that
whatever differing opinions there may
be between the two papers, the views
will be argued as gentlemen should
argue, and the bond of professional
union never be broken.

CHANGING SCHOOL HOURS.

1t is to be hoped that the teachers to
whom the question of changing the
school hours is propounded, will answer
fearlessly their own opinion and will
not reply according to what they think
the commissioners and the officials of
the Board would like. There is always
a danger in this direction when people,
who are dependent on their positions
for their daily bread, are asked an opin-
ion by those in whose hands the posi-
lions lie.
But the question, after all, of change
in school hours should not lie with the
teachers. 1t is not their convenience
that is sought, it is the convenience of
the general public that should be con-
sidered. viii or will not the change be
beneficial to them. At this point must
be considered the convenience of the
poor not the convenience of the rich
for the mass of the pupils who attend
the public schools belong to parents who
are not burdened with too many Of this
worlds goods
If we consider this class of people and
take the trouble to make friends Of

them and learn something of their home
life we will find that every member of
the family has to share in the general
work. Much of this work has to be
done in the morning. The girls of the
family, especially, have to assist in the
early household duties. The father of
the family has to- get up early in order
to get to his work by seven. His break
fast has to be prepared and as soon as
that rush is over, the house has to be
set in order. These people have no SER
wants, but they take a pride in having
their rooms tidy and clean. One cam
not detail all the duties which fall upon
the mother and children but they are
numerous, and they take time. 1t is a
fact that will be supported by many
teachers that the children who work
have the hardest struggle possible to
get through with their work, clean up
and get to school in proper time. In
deed in some cases it is impossible for
the children to be on time.
There are other Objectionable features
in the proposed change which might be
discussed but the claims of the hard
working poor should be paramount, and
should receive far more attention than
that of any other part of the commun-

1t is curious how the innate babarism
of man will blaze forth in spite of all
the veneer of civilization with which
we cover his naturally brutal nature. 1t
is customary to deride the Spanish ma
tons for their love of bull fighting, but
it is questionable whether any bull fight
in more brutal than a couple of sluggers
pounding their faces to jelly, splitting
their ears and lips and covering them
selves with gore, while thousands of
spectators We're on their feet yelling
and bowling like fiends at every brutal
blow. 1t is probably no use comment
ing upon the tastes of race or of a
time Comment will not alter mans
nature, but at least we need not try to
put on such toga of virtue. Why
even here, the news about the prize
fight was of more interest and would
sell better than the news of either vic
tory or disaster in the Transvaal or

THE WAR.

The Boer war is certainly going the
way of the Beers and they are having
a sort of picnic of it at present. That
the war department in London has been
caught mapping is very evident The
Beers have been preparing for war for
five years past. This the war depart
ment should have known. Also it should
have known what arms the Beers had,
and when hOstilities We're talked of the
forces should have been hurried to the
spot in readiness, and certainly the
small garrisons should not have been
allowed to be outnumbered anywhere
from five to three to one.
The news from Ladysmith is up to
the fourth. A heavy bombardment
was in progress and the big naval guns,
now reported to be four instead of two,
were doing service. There is no doubt
that at the present time serious disas-
ter menaces the British forces in north
ern Natal, and there may be very
serious results in the northern part Of
Cape Colony.
The Boer success will have to be
DuSneu TO the UTMOST up " the lolll VI
goth of this month. After that the
forces at the command of General Sir
Redvers Butler will begin to tell. But
should the Beers succeed in blowing up
the railway bridge at Colenso there will
be very serious difficulty in conveying
troops across the Tagela river, which
is now stated to be in flood.
1t is a curious thing to note that the
navy is winning laurels on land, and
that great dependence is being placed
upon the naval force to assist the land
forces. In the recent war with Spain
it was the American Navy that had
the cream of the honors. 1t seems as
if the free life of the sea suited the men
of the Anglo-Saxon race and that it
produced a class of fighting men and
self reliant officers, which it is hard to
beat.
Great Britain is evidently in for a
very serious war and no one, even of
the great statesmen can safely predict
where it may spread to. There are
great events in store in the womb of
time.

Discussed.
London December 12. -- The Daily
Chronicle in an editorial discussing Count
Won Bulow's statement in tho reichstag
says Count Won BuIowt aIks of the
Lessons of tho Hispano- American war. This
may mean that II Germany had possessed
the fleets he wants her to build, she would
have saved Cuba and the Philippines 10
Spain. Are we TO presume that he thinks
Germany an anvil and America ham
mery II SO 1t is idle to talk OF great
German navy purely for the purpose OF
defense"
The Times, referring 10 Count Won Blu
lows hammer and anvil phrase says:
There is some danger OF error in the ex-
cess in these literary excursions. 1t Is
hardly probable that Germany will ever
again become the anvil OF Europe. but II
Is still less likely that eyeen as world
power, she will be the hammer OF the
seas
Other papers comment on the speech In
connection with the necessity under which
England lies In Keeping pace with the

A Fight to he Made on nynum.

New York, December 1l.-A special TO
the Times from Washington says: Some
of the democratic senators have intimated
to their friends that they will resist the
confirmation of William d. Bynum to be a
member of the board of general appraisers
at New York. Mr. Bynum, who was. until
1896 an active democrat but who partici-
pated in tho campaign with the Palmer
and Buckner democrats, is less acceptable
to democrats than a life long republican.
The argument made against his appoint
u&nt and confirmation is that the law re-
quiring that all the members of the board
shall not be of the same political party is
being "disregalded in appointing Mr..
Bynum as q democrat.
