A BRILLIANT CAMPAIGN.

Judged by military standards the cam
paign which has ended with the capture of
Pretoria by the British is one of the most
brilliant and successful record To esti-
mate the degree OF success one must COM
pare the present situation with that which
existed when Lord Roberts assumed active
command. Up TO that time the British had
been worsted in several engagements and
had not gained single important strategic
advantage. The Beers occupied the Orange
Free State and the fighting was on British
soil. After establishing his base at BIoem-
fontein, reorganizing his army and matur-
ing his plans Lord Roberts has in one
month covered the $50 miles from Bloem-
fontein to Pretoria. making what might be
called forced marches day after day. turn
ing the Boer positions one after another.

pregnable positions and finally capturing
johannesburg, and now Pretoria, without
lighting a single general action or losing
many men wasted in any one
OF half a dozen engagements early in the
war. During this entire movement, nearly
a thousand miles from his sea base. Lord
Roberts has had to guard his communica-
tions and deal with wideawake and mo-
bile enemy. For the organization Of his
transport system and quartermaster de-
partment he Is doubtless indebted TO Lord
Kitchener, than whom there Is no ADLER
man in that line living. But the strategy
is Lord Roberts's, and while IL must be
admitted that he had an ample force with
which TO carry out his plans. cannot
but admire the wonderful precision and
clocklike accuracy with which each move.
ment fitted every other and all contributed
to one end. What Lord Roberts could have
accomplished with a much smaller force
can only be conjectured, but il must be
admitted that he has handled a large one
with consummate skill. His reputation a
soldier and successful leader, and his pop
ularity with the British army and people
were already so great when he assumed
command in South Africa that they could
hardly be enhanced. 1t is enough that he
has fully maintained them. His success
makes him the greatest military figure in
England since the time Of Wellington, and
will probably bring him dukedom, which
is the highest honor man not born of
the royal blood can attain in England.

THE PRESIDENTS CIGAR.
Comment on Mr. McKinley's Habits In
Regard to Smoking.

Washington Letter, Boston Herald.
The reports of the fondness of President
Mckinley for tobacco have been some-
what exaggerated, and they have brought
forth supply of cigars which would serve
him for some years TO come IL II were not
for his habit of giving them away, while
he has gone along in quiet way. paying
his good money for the cigars that he
likes. Indeed, President Mckinley. in spite
of the numerous cigar gifts that come TO
him. buys three-fourths of the cigars that
he smokes.
The President never hits the pipe"
He has a great many pipes given to him.
but when they are not quietly given away
TO some friend who will not tell IL they are
placed as souvenirs in whatever corner -
most convenient among the unoccupied re-
cesses of the White House.
The President usually smokes. after each
meal. He very seldom smokes at other
times. except in the evening, with close
friends, who drop in to see him. Some
times he smokes in his Office and while at
work. but his is exception The time
when he most enjoys his personally Sc
lected mild cigar is about O'Clock I'm the
evening when the work and worry of the
day has been showed behind him and he
goes out aIter the evening meal I'd SIT upon
the south veranda of the mansion and
look out over the flower gardens, lakes and
grass lawns of the famous White Lot,
and across the mall beyond the monument.
In these meditative moments II rs perhap
hard to tell whether the President most
enjoys the flavor of his evening smoke or
the pleasing speculations which always
come to him with these cleaning views OF
the all pervading monument TO the father
of his country.
Smoking has a auieting effect on the
Presidents nerves, and for this reason he
is a stout defender of the weed. III he
undertook TO smoke a small percentage OF
the cigars that are sent to him, even to
sample the varying grades his nerves
would doubtless give way under the strain
There is no evidence that smoking has in
any way injured his health. though year
ago his physician saw signs of a tobacco
heart and advised greater moderation.
These instruction the President has carried
out.

The strike in st. Louis has developed a
new feature I'm American lawlessness. With
the boycott, the beating of nonunion en-
ployes and the use of violence towards men
TO enforce the demands OF strikers the
American public is. unfortunately, too IA
miliar. but the assaulting OF women and
tearing their clothes off for patronizing
boycotted cars is something entirely new.
II is not surprising that the women of st.

to the Governor to put an end to such ex-
hibitions OF brutality. and that even the st.

among civilized people that when war
becomes absolutely hopeless 1t should
cease. Generals often surrender a consid-
