jury at Nelson.
1t was learned at Nelson that the Is

true.

Mr.. Hanna re plies modestly to those of

with all the influences that make for and
sustain the rights of property and organ
ized prosperity. man SO equipped could
not we'll fail. but might achieve much, in
the office of President of the United States.
But the republican nomination in 1904 is
quite as problematical as is that of the
democracy. Who may say today what the
issues then will be? The issues that now
confront us may by that time be disposed
or, and issues now unthought of be on the
cards for action. 1t seems assured that the
country will not accept any phase of Bry-
anism. All the issues tagged with that
name have twice been rejected at the polls,
while the Issue of Imperialism. hastily

this country, after it's annoying experience
with the porte. should throw the mantle Of
it's charity over the Constantinople govern
ment to shield it from the righteous de-
mands of those to whom it is indebted.
The United States is chiefly concerned at
present in maintaining abroad proper
conception of its dignity and power. 1t Is
necessary for the security of American
lives and property and business interests
in other lands that this conception be
strengthened at every point. The cruiser
scheme will surely not add to its force any
where. 1t will bring upon US the sneers OF
other governments, confession OF lack
of power to bring Turkey to terms in a
businesslike manner. 1t will encourage
Turkey to consider this government as an
easy mark in diplomacy.
And after all why should the Cramps be
burdened with the task of acting as bill
collectors for the United States? They are
shp-bulders, not fiscal agents. If Turkey
wants to buy a cruiser the Cramps will
unquestionably be very glad to sell her one.
If Turkey has the money with which to
pay this government its debt why should
she not hand it over and be done with an
affair which has brought nothing but dis
credit upon the government at Constanti-
nople?

Mr. Kruger is quoted as making thi
statement to Michael Davftt in Paris:

Mr.. Kruger is quoted as making this
statement to Michael Davitt in Paris:
Il never contemplated going to America
to live. although / have received several
pressing invitations to do so. l am Sc
riously considering. however, a short visit
to the United States. The severe hard
ships of winter travel would not deter me-
old as | am, If | were sure / could accom-
plsh any good for my oppressed country"
In transmitting this by cable to the
United States Mr.. Davitt adds that 1t is
almost certain that Mr.. Kruger will not
visit America, and that the entire cabinet
of the South African republic opposes the
| idea, the unanimous opinion being that the
Mckinley administration will do nothing
whatever for the Beer cause.
Is 1t within the power of the Mckinley
administration to do anything for the Boer
cause. unless it is ready to commit the re-
public to war in the Beers behalf? At the
time the Beers were an organized force,
anG with Mr.. Kruger in supreme command
were making d stubborn stand against
Great Britain, the friendly offices of this
government were exerted toward bringing
the conflict to end. The step was taken
at the request of the Beers and their SYM
pathizers. 1t failed The British govern
ment politely but firmly declined the over
out making the Boer cause our own. Did
any number of responsible people in this
country seriously desire that? Was it not
ircontestibly plain that those who were
urging aggressive and extreme action were
animated less by interest in the Boer cause
than by desire to make campaign capital
against the party in power for use here at
home in the presidential contest? That
appeared to be about the size of the move
ment and there surprise nor much
expressed disappointment at the result
The situation today is very different from
that. and much more difficult for any
power having the welfare. of the Beers at
heart. The war has proceeded. and as a
war has. according to the British conten-
ton. been fought to a close At any rate
the British arms have dispersed the Boer
troops. until those who are still in the field
are operating only as small flying columns
annoying the TANKS of the advancing en-
envy The British flag flies over both the
Orange Free State and the Transvaal and
both those countries have been formally
annexed to the British empire Is this a
time therefore for any power not confess
edly seeking preteXt for a war with Great
Britain to urge upon her the cancellation
of this annexation and the submission of
the whole jreopened question to arbitra-
ton?
The Beers have deservedly very many
admirers and sympathizers in the United
States, and IL Mr.. Kruger should decide to
cross the water he will be warmly received.
But that could not in reason affect this
governments attitude in the premises. Nor
would the situation be in the least degree
different had Mr.. Bryan been elected Presi-
dent. Mere campaign hurrah and blovia-
ton count for nothing when the time comes
for action involving the welfare of the
country and it's obligations to itself and to
others as a member of the family of ma
tionS.

Ii was thought that more would be
heard Of the absurd scheme which pro-
posed that Turkey should pay the Arme-
nian indemnity to the United States by the
Indirect mode of purchasing cruiser at an
extraNagant price. This proposal was ap-
parently negatived by the government with
such emphasis as to leave no room for fur
ther belief at Constantinople that il would
succeed But it has now been revived ac-
cording to a correspondent of the London
Chronicle at the Turkish capital who de-
clares that an imperial trade has been
issued ordering the immediate signature
of contract with the Cramps for a fast
cruiser at a price sufficiently above the
normal cost to give a surplus TO pay the
American claims. The dispatch adds that
thus the United States gains an import
ant commercial and diploma tic success
1t is incredible that this government has
sanctioned the dlscredted plan or that
there is any assurance whatever that it
will accept the indemnity rendered through
a third party. There is more al stake than
the sl0o.o0 involved IN the claims The
prestige of this country as a creditor is
involved Congress can better afford to
appropriate the money for the settlement
of the claims direct for the benefit of the
sufferers rather than to give assent to such
a bargain.
Turkeys plan Is obvious 1t is to avoid
both friction with the United States and
names are legion. There 10 no reason why

Il Is to be hoped that the plan to nave
both Maryland and Virginia represented in
the military parade December u. the CEN
ienary of the rational capital, will be fully
carried out. 1t is most desirable that both
of the states which contributed land TO the
original District should thus participate in
the cer@monidls to an equal degree. Vir-
glrias contingent of Citizen-soldiers is ap-
parenuy assured. and 1t Is the hope of all
Nashingtonians that some such organiza-
tlon as the famous 5th Maryland will take
part on he historic day. The observances
planned for the centennial celebration are
in a large degree symbolic, and this spirit
would be best furthered by the proposed
joint participation.

Many Old Case. Involved.
From the New York Journal of Commerce.

Statistics of bankruptcy proceedings
which have just been made public are in
complete in giving no information of the
years In which the insolvency occurred The
official of the Department of Justice, who
has prepared the summary, believes that a
good percentage is made up OF old insol-
vents This Is unquestionabiy the case
Inc enormous preponderance of voluntary
cases in the aggregate and the insignificant
ratio of assets to liabilities in cases Of this
class corroborate what Is known from other
sources, that large part Of the bankruptcy
business done under the new law Is the
discharging Of persons who went through
Insolvency proceedings in the years when
no national bankruptcy law was in exis-
tence. After all these old cases are cleared
up we can begin to observe the normal
working Of the new law.
