James Fitzharris and Joseph Mullet
are excluded from the United States by
the decision of Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Taylor, on the ground that
they were guilty OF felony and cannot
land in this country under our immigra-
ton laws. Their attorney, ex-Judge
George M. Curtis, OF New York, may
appeal the case to the supreme court of
the United States. He regards with
contempt the legal opinions of the i'm
migration commissioners and the under

"oAS lAS oIltlSll dlAIv VI quarter vi a
million of men has accomplished the
capture of the Boer capital. In doing
so it has lost over thirty thousand men,
number that according to the esti-
mates of the American attaches, ex-
ceeds the total strength of the Boer
army by twenty per cent. Given such
an overwhelming force, even if it were
composed more largely of the snobs in
khaki who finished their brief military
career so ingloriously near Lindley, the
end was practically inevitable. The only
question was one OF time; and the time
has exceeded all possible forecast 1t
has taken the British quarter of mil
lion to beat the Boer twenty-five or
thirty thousand four times as long as
it took Prussia to beat Austria, and
twice as long as from the opening of
the Franco-Prussian war to Sedan.
And even now, though the Boer capital
is in British hands, an effective Boer
army is still on foot, dangerously
threatening the British lines of COM
punication and achieving notable re-
suits in the destruction OF scattered
British columns. The fighting in the
northeast corner OF the Orange Free
State for the past fortnight has, in fact,
been greatly in favor OF the Republicans.
Nevertheless, the war has reached
point when the result can no longer be
regarded as in doubt Had the British
nation spark of magnanimity, were
the execrable Brummagen majority in
spired by the smallest respect for a
brave foe, that has won the sympathy
and the reverence of the civilized
world, the war might be ended now by
an honorable peace. But the words
honor, justice, magnanimity long ago
disappeared from the lingo dictionary.
The settlement is to be one that will
suit the spectators, in whose interest
the war was undertaken. No free con-
stitution would allow the johannesburg
gang to deal with taxation and cut
down wages in the manner that they
desire to do. Hence the Transvaal must
be administered as crown colony, to
permit of Rhodes, Belt, Goldstein &
Co. sweating the worker and taxing his
food, as is their purpose. Hence the
war which the lnypocrites urged in the
name of free speech, fair taxation, and
representative government, is to end
with the extinction OF all three Already
