heroic resistance, does not bring honors.
General BulIer will hardly be able to re-
trieye his shattered prestige. He went TO
Africa with reputation as a great fighter
but ne has not developed any capacity as a
strategist or tactician. AS chief in COM
mand In the recent disastrous movement,
he should be held responsible for its fail
ure Perhaps the extreme roughness and
difficulties of the country made scouting
and accommodating impossible, but that
should have been reason enough for dis
trusting and probably discarding the move
ment decided upon. General Buffers dis
patches have lacked a certain quality of
manliness, and his growing over the fact
that the enemy did not follow him across
the Tugela river proof that he has
been taught to respect our soldiers fight
ing powers" is absolutely laughable 1t is
wonder he did not add ''They will keep
out Of our way next time" Nobody doubts
the fighting qualities of the British soldiers,
but the world is beginning to doubt the
capacity of British generals.

the same men who, during the three
months preceding our declaration of war
with Spain, held meetings in the cities and
made speeches declaring for recognition of
the independence of cuba and censuring
the President for not plunging the country
into war with Spain to sustain a republic
which did not exist. Their clamor FASTENED
the war and would have hurried the United
States into II months earlier upon a basis
that might have involved us in a conflict
with other European powers. One need not
be surprised if the men who are behind the
pro-Boer movement and who clamored for
the recognition of the Republic of Cuba
should soon be demanding that the Cubans
be at once recognized as an independent
nation and that the Philippines be left to
self-government.

The resolutions of the meeting in SYM
pathy with the Beers proceed upon the as
sumption that President Kruger is anxious
to have the United States or some other
nation interpose as a mediator to the end
that the war may stop. Many people who
are not correctly informed about the sit
uation will be led to infer from such res
olutions that President Mckinley has re-
fused the mission of mediator. 1t is fair
TO assume that those who wrote the reso-
lutions knew better. The ST. Louis resolu-
tons make their authors supremely ridic-
ulous because of their request that the
President demand that the war be stopped.
Men VINO write such resolutions are either
grossly ignorant or vicious demagogues.
Suppose the President should make such
a demands it probable that either party
would heed it? OF course they would not.
and not needing 1t, either this government
must make 1t pretext for war with Great
Britain or confess itself a mere blusterer.
A correspondent of the Journal also ex-
presses the opinion that the people would
be pleased to have the President use his
influence to bring the war in South AZ
RIGA to an end in favor Of the Beers. BY
what means? Neither party has asked for
mediation. On the contrary. DR.. Leyds,
the representative of President Kruger. and
the only one having credentials, now in
Germany, has Just declared In an interview

Those who are assuming that Russia is
delighted with the embarrassment of Great
Britain have not heard of the recent note
of the finance minister of that empire to
the Car in which it is pointed out that the
long continuance Of the war between the
British and the Beers means commercial
and industrial disaster to Russia. He also
warns his master that if the national treas
ury and the country as a whole are to be
kept in a solvent condition, Russia must
maintain absolutely peaceful relations with
all foreign powers. 1t is regarded as an in
dication of his desire for peace that the
Car has given out that significant warn
ing of the minister of finance. 1t is further
stated that other European governments
favor the early termination of the war in
South Africa because of the financial strin-
gency which has attended ii.

Since it has been ascertained beyond
doubt that the disease prevailing in some
parts of the State is really smallpox. the
address OF the State Board OF Health urg-
ing people to adopt preventive measures is
justified. The people in the communities
where the disease prevails owe this to
themselves as well as to neighboring COM
munities and other parts OF the State. The
fact that the disease is in a very mild form
at present does not lessen the duty OF
guarding against its spread. as 1t may at
any time assume a virulent type. Heroic
