IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Again the news from South Africa has
been surprising. Instead Of marching upon
End dispensing the Boer force, which had
<orked around his right flank, with their
Headquarters at Thabanchu, and so clean
fng out the country over toward the Draak-
enspergs, Lord Roberts has marched di-
rectly up his railroad to Kroonstadt, the
place of second importance in the Orange
Free State. He has paid but little atten-
ton to the Beers on his right flank, where
they have been most numerous and active
for weeks, but sent some small columns to
Observe them, and keep them occupied,
shile he cleaned out the country on his
left flank, over toward Kimberley and the
railroad which reaches from there to Mafe-
king. This would seem to indicate that
Of supplies, instead of, as many supposed,
moving by his right flank, and, in con.
junction with Butler, clearing out the
Draakenspergs and opening up the shorter
routes to the sea, at Durham. He has
marched with great swiftness, and all his
diverging columns have kept perfect time
with the advance. But, while he LAS
everywhere outflanked the Boer positions
and compelled them TO retire, without any
serious fighting, the public has been dis
appointed that he has captured very few
prisoners, no cannon, and only such stores
as the Beers were unable to load into thei
wagons. Nowhere has he been able Il
smash them as he did upon his advanc,
advanced across the Vaal River, into tn
South African Republic. The Beers, es
pecially those Of the Orange Free State
are represented to be terribly discourage,
and demoralized, and the correspondent
Say confidently that the end of the war il
In sight. This must be taken with eau
ton, though it seems significant that nc
where, in all the rough country traversed
with constant occurrence of splendid de
fensive positions, did the Beers offer seri
ous opposition to any OF Lord Robert
columns.
Gen. Butler seems to have walked UP a
last. and is making an advance from
Ladysmith, in which he appears to be en-
oountering pretty sharp opposition.

THE Cuban robbery is something pheno,
nenal in the history of official corruption
During the troublous times when we were
trying to get the tariff and internal revenue
systems down to business basis, we had
some very heavy steals, but only small
proportion of them was by officials, and
their gains We're small in comparison to
those of outsiders. But here we have a
comparatively young man, whose previous
experience had been as a publisher of a
country newspaper, and who started into
official life on the modest salary Of 81 800
suddenly becoming involved in robbery
which runs up into hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Indiana men develop rapidly
when they start.
The National tribune., 1900-05-17

A NUMBER of Representatives were tc
Gee the President last week, with reference
to the removal of Evans, and he was frank
" told Of the harm that Evans was doing
him, and the much more that he was likely
to do. The President replied in substance
that he had been occupied with so many
other engrossing matters that he had
been able to pay but little attention to the
Pension Bureau, or pension matters, leav'
ing those in the hands of those whom he
thought he could trust, but that he had
been hearing many things lately in regard
to the same which had greatly disturbed
him, and that he must earnestly look into
the matter.

APRoPoS Of the widows clause it is
pertinent to say that while Commissioner
Lochren made regulation that pensions
should be denied widows who had an din
come considerably in excess" of 500 a year
fast rule, and allowed many claims where
The income was $3.50 or s175. Also, he
allowed the shares Of the minor children to
be deducted in making this estimate, and
be only considered net income. Evans
screwed the limitation down to hard and
hst 500, would not allow the children's
Ihare to be deducted, and considered the
gross income. This is only one instance
where he harshened all of Lochren's rulings

Hopkins, Mo-, is not likely to go into the
coming campaign with his old spirit. He

was an enthusiastic Mckinley man. But

No punishment can be too severe for the
Cuban robbers. They have disgraced US
before the whole world, and done much
to diminish the fair fame that our country
has earned by IFS war for the liberation
OF the Spanish colonies from a corrupt and
intolerable despotism.

ABOUT the most impracticable PROPOSE.

for repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment
AS the strong-languaged Senator Tillman

Ex-CAPT. CARTER is doing his time
as clerk in the Leavenworth Penitentiary.
Now, when he reports that he is on duty
the War Department will know that he is

The National tribune., 1900-05-17

APPARENTLY, the British are making
a very creditable cavalry raid, for the re-
lief of Mafeking. They have about 5000
cavalry, unaccompanied by any wheels
and are on a swift rush. If the Beers had
any Of the generalship with which they
have been credited, the thing ought not to
succeed. The raid has to pass for hundreds
Of miles along the flank of the main Boer
strength, and they ought to be able to
intercept it somewhere, and turn if back
in confusion and defeat, as they did Col.
Plumer's smaller column some weeks ago.
1t is likely, however, that the Beers are con-
centrating their efforts upon getting away
from Roberts's swift advance to the north
east. Yet Roberts seems to have sent all
his available cavalry on this raid, and if his
opponents had generalship Of respectable
order, they would see an opportunity to
infict very damaging blow upon him.
