knew how vast the power OF Great Britain was
But they did not suppose 1T would be used
They thought the MaJuba Hill campaign would
be repeated: that Great Britain would send a
few regiments, which would be soundly
thrashed. and would then for peace, as in
1881. They are surprised to find such differ
ence In temper between the British Of 1881 and
the British Of 1900. But the most of them are
surprised to find Great Britain so powerful.
They had imagined her to be a State scarcely
stronger than themselves. That she could send
an army Of nearly a quarter of million men
to conquer them they never once dreamed. They
astonished and bewildered.
The war, then, should come to an end with
the capture of the city whose long endured
wrongs had so much to do with bringing the
war on. Its only possible ending must be, Of
course, the complete surrender of the Beers.
That surrender should be made. To delay
1t means simply useless losses. The inevitable
may be delayed a few days; it cannot be avert
ed. Nor can better terms be secured by further
resistance than would be granted on immediate
surrender. Great Britain has the game in her
own hands, and she will play it as she pleases.
Nor is there the slightest hope of foreign inter-
vention. There Lever was any, but the abso-
lutte lack of it is now more marked than ever.
Neither the best friend of the Beers nor the
most bitter foe of Great Britain will raise
hand speak word to balk the victor or to
aid the vanquished The settlement must be
made between Briton and Boer, and between
them alone. We have no idea that it will be
harsh one. Great Britain knows how to be
magnanimous. She has conquered the Boer
States. But conquest does not mean spoliation
nor oppression. The Beers will be secure IN

THE NEGLECTED. CONVICTs.

noticeable feature Of the detention of the
Phoenix Park murder convicts is the wholesome
neglect with which they are being treated by
the great body Of Irishmen in this country
They apparently came here thinking that they
would be regarded as heroes by all who sympa-
thize with Irish political aspirations and that
funds would be raised TO help them on their
shining way. Instead they find the most COM
plete Indifference not merely on the part of real
friends Of Ireland, but also on the part of the
politicians who are generally quick to shout
themselves hoarse on behalf of anything which
they think will commend them to the favor of
the Irish vote. But except for one or two in
conspicuous friends they have been left alone
and unwelcomed.
All this Is healthful sign. 1t is evidence
that, strong as may be the Irish feeling for
Home Rule, and extreme in enthusiasm and in
dignation as may sometimes be its expression
the Irish as people are not patrons of murder.
The traditional national hatred Of inforrne-s
no doubt intensified by experience of the almost
certain betrayal of every Irish political con-
spiracy by some Of the conspirators at one
time greatly confused the moral sense of MANY
Irish partisans. When the murderers of Jord
Frederick Cavendsh were being tried and eye
cuted feeling ran high and race sentiment WIS
100 much aroused for calm Judgment of such q
deed. Now. after eighteen years, though Irish
men are as earnest as ever in their desire for
governmental changes, ard the Irish-Americans
are as warmly in sympathy with their old coun-
trymen, 1t is clear that they do not countenance
murder as an instrument Of political propa-
ganda. They do not urge that the Phoenix Parl,
murder was political offence" though they

JORANNESBURG.

The capture OF Johannesburg which Lord
Roberts expects TO accomplish to-day, should
mark the ending of the war His march has
been made with an irresistible celerity that
shows the British to be absolute masters of the
situation. There was much talk in October last
about military promenade" through the Or
ange Free State to Pretoria, and a little later
the part of those who had INDUCED In it
there was profound regret that they had not
waited with their prophecies until after the
fact. But that promenade has become
reality. Seldom in the history Of any war has
there been anything comparable with the prog
ress made by Lord Roberts nOrthward from
Bloemfontein. In ten days he made 12s miles
not with mere cavalry division, but with the
whole mass Of his army-infantry, artillery and
supplies. If that was not a promenade it was
because the pace was too rapid. True, his army
overwhelmingly outnumbered all opposed to it.
But considering the character of the country
the lack of roads and the distance from the
base of supplies that would have been rapid
progress in a friendly land where there was no
thought Of opposition. Even that speed, how
ever. was improved upon in the homestretch,
for after crossing the Vaal the Rough Rider of
Kandahar made thirty-five miles in two days
OF a TRUTH, the British army has solved the
problem of mobility at last.
The triumphant progress Of the British has
been no more marked than the decentralization
of the Beers. We say that with all due respect

themselves as stubborn fighters and as brave as
the world has seen Since the capture of Cronie
and the death OF Joubert they seem to have be-
come disheartened. Since then they have not
struck a single worthy blow nor made one reso-
lutte stand. We are told that at several points
between Bloemfontein and johannesburg there
We're splendid vantage grounds for defence and
even strong fertidcations. But nowhere did the
Beers attempt 10 check the British advance
Johannesburg itself is superbly adapted to de-
fence and strongly fortified yet they have per-

they are overwhelmed by force they cannot

1t is with the same spirit in these later days
that Americans regard their responsibility

have been brought under the authority of the

for the islands also. To the world 1t becomes a
duty to show how capable and unselish and
pure government by the people can be- even In

In the exercise of power. If it he true that no
other form Of government known among men

and not for the welfare of the rulers only or the
inhabitants of any one possession, then in truth
1t is time that the world has proof of the fact.
A greater gift for mankind cannot well be con-
ceived than the certainty that free government
can be as surely trusted to do the best thing pos
sible for those under its control as for those
who also share in the governing power.

A COLUMBIA JOKE.

A good many persons including several
serious thinkers. have recently been agitated
by a report that the grave and reverend seniors
Of Columbia University on the Saturday pre-
ceding Class Day We're going to give public
exposition of the art and science of drinking
beer In close proximity to their halls of learn
ing at which the presence of their friends
desired and the attendance of the rest OF the
population was somewhat confidently predicted.
This unusual feature of a graduation pro-
gramme at once obtained wide publicity, and
for aught we know to the contrary came near
to getting mentioned in the anti-canteen reso-
luton of the Methodist Conference. If SO, our
Methodist brethren wisely refrained from COM
mitting themselves, for it is now officially
declared that Columbia has no intention of
doing spectacular homage to Gambrinus, that
esteemed academic contemporary THE
Spectator" announced a beer drinking contest
merely a joke that all the students caught
on" and that they had thought of trying to
deceive anybody until they discovered that
without their assistance various credulOus per
sons had already been deceived. Then, we
believe some remorseless fellows did lend them
selves to the imposture, with the result Of per-
suading the faculty to make inquiries and pub
lish denial.
The joke of itself was not remarkably funny,
but it has had one amusing consequence, for
some Of the serious thinkers who became indig
nant at the earliest opportunity have become
still more so since they ascertained that the
joke them. and are solemnly reproving
the young men Of Columbia for their levity.
There is no danger that such admonitons will
cause distress and mar the festivities of the
commencement season. Sensible persons who
find 1t necessary at rather too frequent intervals
to condemn some act of cruelty or cowardice
vandalism on the part of college students know
where to draw the line The youth who paints
John Harvard's statue red, or smashes a trades
mans windows, or insults actors or audience at
play with indecent antics or makes an under
claSsman the unwilling victim of unmanly
tyranny, deserves more than he usually gets In
the way of punishment But 1t is absurd to
suppose that boys VIII or ought to be men,

GENERAL GREENE.

1t is positively announced by Mr.. Quigg that
General Francis " Greene will be chosen to
succeed him president of the Republican
County Committee on June 21 and will accept
the place Mr.. Quigg as late as Monday even
ing was not prepared to say whether not Mr..
Plat was aware of this arrangement, but the
prevailing impression is that Mr.. Platt had
heard of it and was willing to share his infor-
nation with the public There are two stories
concerning General Greene's original attitude
with respect to the offer One is that he
insisted on being little more than a fgurehead;
the other that he required an explicit promise
that he should be the head Of the County Com
mittee In fact as well as in name The former
report is said to be supported to some extent by
Mr.. Quigg's refusal TO answer when asked If he
was going to retain the craftsmanship of the
City Executive Committee but we much prefer
to believe the latter.
General Greene is a soldier by profession. AS
such he has been accustomed both to command
and to oDey, and we do not know that he has
ever been at a loss to determine which of these
obligations he was required to perform at any
particular moment. If he accepts the presi-
dency of the Republican County Committee we
hope that he will be equally clear as to his duty
If he makes 1t understood that he is there
merely for the purpose Of issuing somebody
else's orders he will probably have cause to
wish that he had continued to occupy private
station In politics. If he leaves no doubt in
anybodys mind that the power he exercises is
his own he may not unreasonably hope to sue
ceed in the difficult task of rehabilitating the
Republican organization in the respect and con-
fdence of the party and making it effective
instrument for the multiplication Of Republican
votes and the promotion Of Republican prin-
ctples. For the performance Of that service
General Greene possesses undoubted qualfca-
tons. If he undertakes 1t his reputation VIII

THE Law FOR AUTOMOBILES.

Some uncertainty appears to have arisen IN
some minds as to the proper speed of automo-
tive vehicles on public highways. There is
common inclination to run them at a higher
rate of speed than the maximum permitted by
law for vehicles drawn by horses. To this the
novelty of the vehicle, the speed of which it is
capable and its untiring endurance all con-
tribute. The officers charged with the enforce
ment of the laws regulating traffic have been
represented as doubtful concerning their author
ity in the case, and 1t is suggested that special
law is necessary under which, some assume as
a matter Of course automot1ve vehicles will be
permitted to run at higher rate of speed than
horses
There appears to be a double fneptitude In
such views of the case We can think OF no
good reason for special law A horseless car
riage is vehicle, according to the law and
according to common sense, just as much as
one drawn by horses. 1t should be subject to
the same general law. There is no more occa-
sion to discriminate between the two classes
than between black horses and white ones The
one law Of speed and Of the right OF way and
OF the direction OF turning aside is applicable to
them all.
Equally inept is the notion that an automobile
of any type should enjoy the privilege of run
ming along the streets at higher rate of speed
than other vehicles. The object Of the law
limiting speed Is to assure the safety of the
public. That safety is menaced by a swiftly
moving automobile Just as much as by a swiftly
moving horse and carriage. In fact the danger
from the former is probably somewhat greater
than from the latter In the former case only
one pair of eyes is keeping watch for objects in
the road; in the latter there are two, and two
intelligences. The automobile is as a rule. much
heavier than horse drawn carriage and its
impact in collision is thus more destructive. 1t
is no more easily steered nor more Quickly
stopped than horse. In brief, there is not one
perceptble reason why II should be permitted
to run at rate Of speed forbidden to other
vehicles.
Ihe automobile is a good thing within its
proper limits. It has doubtless come to stay
But II Is not and must not be a law until itself
IL must De subject TO the same rules that control
other vehicles on the public highways and those
must be rules conservative of the welfare of the
whole public
