THIS COUNTRY AND THE Beers.

TIE people of this country have. Of
course. perfect right to hold public
meetings and express sympathy either
with the Beers or the British, and in the
ex srciss OF that right q good many mass
meetings have already been held, with
many more, doubtless, to follow. At
some of these meetings the tone Of the
speeches has been uneyoeptionabie, but
at others dsnunoiation Of England has
far transcribed the bounds OF reason and
justice. Unfortunately discussion of any of
England's acts In this country is always
gravely influenced by the fact that We
have large voting population who har-
Dor toward England most bitter hatred,
rever see any good in anything she does,
aud are quick to condemn any American
political party that dissspts even modsr-
atsly from their estimate of the mother
country. Some years ago both Ameri
can parties were accustomed to regular
ly endorse Homsrnle for Ireland, with
out, we suspect, either Of them having
ever given enough study to the matter to
form an Intelligent opinion a. to what the
real effect of home rule would Do. those
resolutions were sops thrown to certain
GLASS Of voters. We suspect that a good
deal Of the oratory which We hear ut
some of these pro-Boer meetings has
about the same origin "a the home rule
resolutions. We do not mean to be un-
dsrstood as holding that all or even o
large part Of the sympathy for the Beers
which is cropping out In this country
has NO better basis than desire TO pro-
pitiats certain voting elements. The
msst Of 1t II genuine. traoeahls largely
to the fact that the Beers are the weaker
patty. but We cannot help feeling that
good deal Of the heated oratory on the
subject II inspired by the effect

country. rather than In the
Transvaal or In England. Any other

G115 lis. The local situation was
also depressed owing to heavy ship
ments from the Straits and in sympa-
thy with the weakness abroad. The
close was very weak at $26.25. The
prevailing low rates failed to stimu-
late demand, however, and trading
was slow. Copper dull but about
steady, with business of a hand to
mouth character at S1700 for Lake
Superior and 1880 for casting copper
and electrclytic Copper in London
closed at ell 13c Cd. Lead ruled dull
and nominally unchanged both here
and abroad, closing at $4.37A and

also dull at $4.1504.20 in the absence
of speculation. Domestic iron mar
kets remain dull and unchanged de-
spite the further loss abroad, where
