lish public opinion are now preparing
the way for a re-assertion of Eng
lands better nature; and soon we may
expect the Inevitable reaction. with
Its pressure for magnanimity In the
details of final settlement with the
vanquished foe.
1t seems to us that here Is the point
where the United states through the
moral force of its public opinion can
do a good work for humanity by en-
couraging the most liberal terms of
peace. Any one with an ounce OF
sense must have known that while
Englands fighting blood was aname
and when it seemed to her surprised
and maddened population that the
whole imperial structure was endang-
cred, II was not the psychological mo-
ment for the United States or any
other neutral to get in the way with
overtures of interference. Under sim
ilar circumstances the American peo-
pie would not tolerate foreign inter-
meddling. But the situation now is
different. The British army has re-
asserted itself. There has been no in
tervention. The United States espec-
tally has kept true to the spirit as well
as the letter of neutrality; and if 1t
shall appear in the proper manner
that the real friends of modern Eng
land are on the side OF the broad
minded individual Englishmen who
| urge the concession to the Transvaal
of terms in accordance with the high
character Of the Boer defense, the fact
will have it's weight.

creased chance that such crimes will
multiply. The type of offense Illus
trated in the Neey case is not against
the Cubans, Porto Ricans or Filipnos
but against the United States; and 1t
is appropriate that the stern hand of
the federal courts should apply the
punishment.

y into the actual territory
Of the South African re-
public the war between Briton and
rica enters its final stage. Surprises
may come to either side in the closing
davs OF the campaign; II the burghers
are In earnest in their expressed in
tention to die in the last ditch the
conclusion of hostilities may be some
weeks delayed. But that by virtue
of overwhelming numbers, coupled, let
1t be understood, with genuine general
ship. the British commander-in-chief
has ended all uncertainty as to the
military ultimate will, We think, be
universally conceded.
This modifies the direction of public
interest in the affair. A few months
ago it was centered wholly upon the
military problems as these loomed up
because of the inadequacy of Eng
lands initial generalship. Now II Is
more largely concerned with the ad-
ministrative problems which await the
conqueror. And 1t is encouraging TO
note, in this connection. that In pro-
portion as Lord Roberts has taken the
kinks out Of England's military tangle
and to this extent contributed to a
better state Of English pride, there
has developed a more liberal sentiment
respecting the Beers. 1t Is no longer

By recent edict of the municipal authorities at La Colorado and minas Prietas, all gaming in the camp was stopped upon the first of January.
 The Minas Prietas Water Co. have completed the laying of their pipe line from Agua Nueva. nearly seven teen miles long, and their reservoir aud the pipe have been tested and proved splendid piece of work. In the whole distance, out of about 4,50O joints only one joint was found de- fective, which was at once remedied, and the pump pas started on the 18th of December to run permanently. The contractors, A. F. Wrotnowski & Go. .of Guaymas, deserve credit for the push and manner of doing the whole work getting through ahead of con- tract time and doing the whole work in three months and ten days time. The completion of this important work will give the people of Mihas Priei as and La Colorado a wholesome supply Of tlrst-class water, an element which they were missing very much. A telephone line is also being con- structed between the two points and will be completed within few days.

Interesting Reading.

In another column the statement published of the condition of the h. ternational Bank in Nogales at the close of business on December 3lst, 1899. is very interesting reading, par ticularly in comparison with the statement published the four weeks preceding, as showing splendid in- crease between November 29th, the date of the the last report preceding. In the former report the total volume of business was sl33, ,95423, and in the report now published it is Sl56, ,928.3 an increase of nearly s23 3.00O.OO. In the former statement the amount of deposits was Sl07, ,495. 97; in the present the total is Sl30,405.83, an increase og about $23,000.00. This shows good, healthy growth. and speaks we'll for the town of Nogales.
