Lord Roberts Success.

The weary monotony of disaster to
the British forces which have plunged
England In gloom has been broken at
last by the relief of Kimberley by Cen
eraI French. It was a matches stroke.
and Lord Roberts must be credited with
the conception of a scheme that was
worked out with mathematical precls-
ion. While General Cronje has escaped
with his army the British are hot on his
trail, and If they do not succeed in sur
rounding his troops they will undoubt-
edly capture his baggage.
The relief Of Kimberley and the mas
terly manner in which it was executed
will have an imense moral effect on the
English troops who seem to have been
commanded by incapables. Lord Rob-
erts has brought order out of chaos, and
supported by such an able soldier as
Lord Kitchener. the future news from
the Transvanl may be expected to take
on a more cheerful character than has
been the rule Of late.
Meantime it must not be forgotten
that the task before the British troops
is a difficult one. The Beers are not
conquered by any means. They have
shown their mettle, and II the English
ever do reach Pretoria the march will
be marked with blood ut every step.

A pre.Judged Election,

The publication Of the correspondence
between Henry watterson, editor of the
louisville Courler-Journal, and the
presldent of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company, with respect to the
present deplorable political conditions
in Kentucky, does not present Colonel
Watterson in n very enviable light. The
railroad company was drawn into the
fight not through any motion Of its
own, but by the persistent attacks
made upon 1t by Goebel and his we'll
defined enmity to It's interests. The
attitude assumed by watterson In this
correspondence is wholly at variance
with his former course, not only to-
wards the railroad, but Goebel. The
Intelligencer on several occasions has
quoted the CourIer-Journal's condemna-
tlon of the Infamous Goebel law, which
was as strong MS the English language
could possibly make It, and itlsastrange
spectacle Mr.. watterEDn presents to
the country when, in writing to Mr.. Bel
mont, he sald; The Democratic state
ticket just nominated Will certainly be
elected. Under the operation OF the
Goebol law the result is not left to
chance" From this VIC infer that Mr..
watterson had knowledge that no mat
ter how many votes Taylor received his
election was to be annuled through the
ubiquitous provisions OF measure
whose vlclousncss has never been par
alleled in the history of legislation in
this or any other country. what a
humlllatlng presentment this is to go to
the country, and what shame It brings
TO Kentucky.
The attitude Of the railroad 10 set
forth very clearly md distinctly in Mr..
August Belmont's reply to Mr. Waiter

in which Mr.. Belmont says; "It would

With her timber, coal and oil;

BENJAMIN H. Burrows, who was
United States consul at Dublin for ten
years, in commenting on the action OF
cx-Consul Macrum. says that gentle
man has pursued a very reprchensible
policy. "a consul" said he, sis sworn
into the service to be loyal and secre-
tive and active in behalf of the govern
ment which he represents. For q man
like this to dlvulEe any secrets, dlplo-
matte or consular, after he has left the
office, would be the same grave crime Of
commission which would apply to n
private book-keeper for any business
man, having been discharged. to go
upon the streets and reveal the secrets
Of his employer"

commerclsl Condition. q ohlna.


There are sundry bills now before
Congress which embody the proposition
for the appointment OF commission to
study the commercial conditions Of
China. This is along similar lines
adopted by several European nations,
and a document recently issued by the
treasury bureau Of statistics, entitled
Commercial China in 1889" shows thnt
the experiments OF those nations have
been very satisfactory.
The British commission, or CONNER
cial mission" as 1t was called, spent a
part OF the years 1895 and 1887 in China
alone. devotlng eight months to trip
from Shanghai up the Yangtze river to
the head of navigation. thence SOUTH
ward to the head Of the West river, by
Which they returned to the seaboarsl,
reaching Canton and Hong Kong after
eight months of travel and study, and
giving the British public very elabor-
ate and extremely valuable report on
the wants, consuming power and gem
eral conditions of the people Of central
and southern China, their trip having
carried them through the most densely
populated part OF that country. The
French mission was absent from
France nearly two years, returning in
October, 1887, after a thorough invests
CATION Of agricultural. Industrial and
commercial conditions. The Germans,
prohdng by this example, have also
omitted to give to the general public
the result Of the work of their CONNER
clal mission which returned to Ger
many in 1893. after fifteen months
study Of China and other Eastern Asia
tic countries. This German commission
was especially thorough in its work,
collecting large numbers Of samples of
the goods required and used by the peo-
pie Of the countries which they visited,
and creating from them an exhibit
which is only open to those persons
actually interested in the trades con-
cerned and to members Of chambers Of
commerce and certain officials, no other
persons being admitted, while copies OF
the report are only published for pri-
vate circulation. The Nord Deutsche
lZeItung Of April 20, 1893, states that the
exhibit includes over $4,000 samples
which show that the collection is the
result of close study of competent men
who thoroughly understand their work
and that the exhibits show first, what
European and American goods are ex-
portet to eastern Asia, and second.
what goods can be purchased there.
The pending measures as introduced
only provide that the commission shall
visit China and Japan, whose imports
form but about one-thIrd of those of the
orient whose trade the United States,
with Nlcaraguan canal. may be ex-
pected to command. American pro-
ducts arc finding a rapidly charging
markc. in all Of the countries of the
east, and especially in Aslatlc Russia,
Manchurla, Korea, Siam and Australia,
while the enormous market offered by
the British and Dutch East Indies is
also worthy Of attention.

More Misrepresentation.

Our stultlfled Market street contem-
porary is not satisfied with mlsrepre-
seating the commendable features of
the refundlng ordinance in its hysteri-
cal opposition to that measure,bu gives
a misleading report of the meeting of
the Trades Assembly Sunday afternoon.
1t credits Delegate Hecker with a state
ment, which Is merely rehash of the
Registers vicious views. which pur-
ported to be an argument against the
retunding measure. Mr.. Hecker did
not make a speech on that occasion. for
the very good reason that he was NOT
present.
The tuggled figures claimed by the
Register to have been presented to the
assembly by Mr.. Hecker were read at
the meeting. but by Delegate Hays, who
lives in Bridgeport, Ohio, and who pays
no taxes in this city. The Register has
been insisting all along that honesty
is the best policy" when at the same
time is has been woefully dishonest
with its readers
Mr.. Hecker was, no doubt, surprised
yesterday morning, to fnd that he had
made a speech, and especially one of
the character the Register has credited
him with.
