an unfinished engagement with Botha's
army Just east of Pretoria, the conclusion OF

prove to be one of the sharpest single
fights of the war. Evidently Botha has ac-
auired wisdom from his recent experiences.
for he disposed Of his army In new fash

The American military representation of
marines in the international force now
marching on Pekin to aid in restoring order
and to protect the foreigners at the Chinese
capital is highly satisfactory to the people
of this country. The marine stands today
as the type of the reliable fighter. cour-
ageous and persevering. willing to accept
hazards for the sake Of duty and cheerful
under fire. The affair at Guantanamo,
near Santiago. undoubtedly had much to
do with the Strengthening of this impress
sion in the American mind. The time for
sneering at the marine as ships police

The German reichstag yesterday passed
the naval enlargement bill by heavy ma
jority. the emperor thus scoring decisive
victory over the parties in opposition to his
ambitious projects. This program of con-
struction will bring Germany to a much
higher naval rank among the powers and
may have important bearing upon in
ternati0nal relations. For in the first place
1t is not expected that the emperor. hav-
ing won 81 decisvely in this engagement
with the conservatives the socialists and
the economists will pause In his imperial
extension plans. while on the other hand
the record of military expansion in Eu-
rope teaches that large enterprise by one
power is almost certain to be followed by
an equivalent a greater advancement by
another or perhaps several others. Thus
unless it has come to be agreed in Europe
to permit Germany to proceed with policy

years to materially shift the balance of

Admiral SchIey's DeciiuatiOn.

Rear Admiral Schley's name has been
used, evidently without the least authority,
for political purposes of late, and only yes
teriay Representative King of Utah in an
interview published in The Star, suggested
Schley AS the democratic nominee for Vice
President as an offset to Secretary Long,
who is q leading republican candidate for
second place. Mr.. Kings reasoning would,
If followed inject a most obnoxious element
into the campaign, which could not pos
sil,ly bring .re,it or advantage to his party.
and would only serve to further intensity
Improbable bitterness. The controversy
over the fight of July 2, now fortunately
stilled. has no more bearing on the issues
legitimately to be placed before the people
this year than the Ashanti campaign of the
British. II is in its proper aspect strictly
technical and personal matter. however 1t
may have been distorted for individual
ends by the unthinking partisans of both
the rear adnirals. And now comes the
Court of Claims a tribunal worthy of emf
nent respect, with a decision that should
end the quarrel by establishing the basic
legal proposition in the affair. AS the case
now stands Rear Admiral Sampson was in
formal command of the fleet. and re-
sponsible in the main for its disposition.
while Rear Admiral Schley was imme-
diately present in a capacity of high rank.
displayed great ability and was prime fac
tor in the victory. Under such circum-
stances 1t would be worse than folly to try
to make political capital out of an affair
that at best has displayed only the ILL
temper and bad judgment of a few personal
partiSans and which tends to lessen the
prestige Of the navy in the degree that II
is pressed. With glory enough for all,
with the technical phase Of the matter set
tied by the courts. with the people still firm
i'll their faith in the navy and intent upon
real issues, it is not only wise but patriotic
for Rear Admiral SchIey to decline to be
used fer the selfish ends of a party. TO step
down from his high station as an honored
officer into the turmoil of bitter cam
paign and To contribute by his candidacy
to a squebble that could only bring dis
grace upon the navy which he has well
served. His refusal is a rebuke to calcu-
lating partisanship.

most the probability. of a conflict soma
years hence unless this country is disposed
TO relinqush the doctrine of republican
government for the western hemisphere and
to submit to European encroachment.
The country is not so disposed tooay and
probably will not incline In that direction
in the future. Meanwhile 1t has felt no
serious alarm. 1t has learned from the war
with Spain the lesson of preparedness, and
it Is evtncing a marked disposition to cor
rect the faults which undue economy and
Indifference during a third Of a century of
profound peace caused in the military
equipment. The American naval program
is quite extensive in its own proportions.
and if continued will not only maintain the
relative rank of the United States among
the powers but probably will cause
changes in its favor. But that program is
by no means the result of apprehensions
aroused by any foreign power. Germany's
activity and her reputed designs on this
hemisphere have not caused the increases
in ships and guns. have not quickened the
pace nor startled the people into clamOr
for greater haste. The policy of naval en-
largement is based upon the far more ra-
uonal principle of absolute proportion.
That Is to say, the people of this country,
and more particularly their lawmakers,
have realized the need to provide naval
force equal to the national responsibilities.
regardless of foreign threats or friendships,
looking to the future In the terms of the
past and measuring the demand by the
capacity of the resources of the nation to
meet its obligations. Were such a principle
adhered to universally there would be less
irrational, spasmodic expenditure in mill
tary armament as a result of the sudden
activities of other powers. and more steady,
healthy growth of defense provision to
keep pace with the growth of the nation
itself.
As long as the United States holds to the
new policy. enforced by the lessons taught
by the war with Spain. there will be no
occasion for alarm whenever an ambitious
European ruler succeeds In persuadng
legislature to give him new military play
thing.

From the New York Tribune.
Invitations to the Boer to come to Amer
lea are unnecessary. He can come If he
likes, singly or in community, finding plenty
of and to cultivate and a friendly welcome
from the people; but he has territory
enough at home. Great Britain will not
carry away any of it, but will encourage
him to resume his work on it. His property
rights will be under safer guarantee than
ever. and he will have better markets than
before, and an equally secure protection in
all his social and political rights. There is
no reason why he should emigrate. and. in
point of fact, the mass of the people have
not the slightest intention Of doing so. They
like their South African homes. and are
now likely to he more prosperous in them
than ever. none the less so that their own
privileges are henceforward to be shared
by all the inhabitants of their territory.

Idaho Stands by Law and order.


From the Phi1adelphia Press.
The result of the democratic state con-
vention held in Idaho last week will not
encourage those anarchistic congressman,
like Lentz of Ohio, who tried to make a
political issue out of the Occur dAlene
riots. The control of the convention hung
on the question as to which one Of two
delegations from Shoshone county, the
scene of the riots, should be admitted, but
after the case was fully argued the anti
riot, or SteunenberS, delegation was seated
by vote of two to one and the law and
order element prevailed This is a great
triumph for Governor Steunenberg. who
for over year has fought the dynamiters
and rioting miners both at home and in
Washington. Some notable victories for
law and order have been gained this year.
but none Is more significant than the one
Governor Steunenberg obtained in Idaho.

Contracts have just been awarded by the
Manhattan Elevated Railroad Company of
New York for the electrical equipment Of
its lines and 1t is expected that cars will
be running under the new system by next
February. This change will mark a re-
form in metropolitan railroading long ago
demanded. 1t is a wonder, indeed. that
economy should not have forced the adop-
ton of electricity several years earlier. for
the electrically equipped surface roads Of
New York have made serious inroads upon
the patronage of the overhead lines. The
steam-propelled train is noisy and dirty
compared with the electric train. while the
cost of maintenance Is virtually the same.
The competition in New York Is between
surface and elevated lines and the intro
duction of electricity on the surface taught
many thousa nds the advantage of transit
without the necessity of tolsome climbs up
stairways. To offset this factor the Il"
road management plans to introduce rapid
elevators at the stations, while it hopes to
secure an advantage by increasing the
number of trains. This will be possible as
a result of the electric equipment of the
lines permitting quicker starts and stops
and equally high if not greater speeds. 1t
is hoped too, to add an element of safety
dioIS Will INT ueSictseu hestt"aS ny Pi'-
viding an automatic cutoff of the current
operated when trains approach each other
too closely on the same track. This Is the
greatest danger in high-speed service, and
with locomotives used for propulsion it is
difficult to guard against. for each train
is independently operated and Is conse-
quently incapable Of reliable automatic
control. The city will be a heavy gamer
when the dirty. noisy locomotives have
given place to the quieter, cleaner motors.
Elevated railroading is at best great
nuisance. and 1t is a gratifying sign of
progress when steps are taken tending to
minimize its evils.
