Sir: wish to thank you for your free expression
Of opinion as to the merits of the present war in
South Africa. For several years have given
special study TO the subject and being myself per-
fecty convinced that from the standpoint Of Amer

Britain was both surprised and disappointed find
that great part Of the American press had thrown
It's influence on the side of the Beers. This being
the case, 1t was quite refreshing to read the edi
tortals which some of the Philadelphia papers had
reprinted from your columns. I havekbecome for
& nne tltne being a subscriber Of your paper and
more than pleased with fair-minGed presenta-
non Elon OF things. The time has come when American
Journals should recognize that there are others
among the reading public besides immigrants who
introduce into the UE:ted States quarrels with
WhIch we nave no concern and feelings of enmity
against the only country in the world which is
similar TO US III ideas. institutions and religion.
II was especially gratifying to read the editorial

you continue In your good work until the American
people become fully acquainted with the facts in

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir; At the present time when so many mass
meetings are being held all over this country to
express sympathy for the Boers think that a
few remarks from editorial in that first class
British paper The Inverness Chronicle will not
be amiss. and will show how little attention Is paid
on the other side to the many bitter harangues by
Britain's enemies this side. The Chronicle
says:
We think The New-York Tribune Is right In
treatlng the talk OF Fenian raid into Canada
as idle yaporing and barroom dreams or inventions
intended to Tighten Canada out Of sending more
troops to South Africa.
IT, The Eenians in far more favorable circumstances
than the present invaded Canada before, and
quickly came to grief. At that time they We're as
political solid vote party, far important in
the United States than they now.

picion, and although the Fenians and other anti
British men may control the New-York and other

running JERoME-AvE TREES.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In the vicinity Of the Kingsbridge Road In
Jerome-ave, telegraph and telephone company en-
ployes are erecting poles and stringing wires in
merciless disregard OF the old trees there which it
is so, desirable to preserve at least to keep them
as long as we can. Poles are being located ac-
cording to some arbitrary spacing, the trees not
being considered, and in consequence pole sites
occur In number of instances in close 1uxtaposf-
ton to fine trees. The pits are being excayated
the roots of the trees mangled and hacked in the
process, and the branches of the trees also are
being ripped off without the slightest consdera-
ton to make way for the wires
In scarcely any city town In another country
would such vandalism be permitted. 1 write in

Sir: A German Prince was dying and was anx-
ious to know for certainty how he might be
saved. One Of those standing by said this and
another said that The Prince hopelessy be-
wildered. until at length Christian courtier ar
rested his doubts by saying. Sire. Straightforward
yourself to Him"
That is just good and safe counsel now for
the living and doubling politician IT was then
