CRoNJES SURRENDER.

If Gates had surrendered to Bur
goyne at Saratoga there would have
been mourning among the followers Of
Lafayette in France. And so the news
Of Cronje's surrender to Lord Roberts
will awaken sympathetic regret among
all true Americans.
In the English parliament the other
day a speaker defending the ministry
drew. a parallel between the war in
South Africa and that which Lord
North directed against the American
coionists. pointing out many resem-
hlances. czilirg attention to no differ
ences.
There is a strong UndeTcurrent Of
sympathy in this republic for all repub-
lies struggling with giant monarchies,
a fellow feeling for every people fight
ing for national independence. Threats
and jeers may stihe it for time but
il will come out. for the sympathy Of
the republican element in France
meant life and liberty to the founders
Of this government years ago. and it
has ever been the pride and purpose
Of the American people to hold our ma
tional emblem up as a beacon light to
people everywhere COntendins for right

the father (the same old irate father OBJ

that he was capable OF supporting a wife.
This was in St. Louis about ten years
ago. and the boy came to me with his
troubles.

act equality Of treatment for all can

Moody holds that opinion.
Although Chief Justice John Marshall
has commonly been considered good
authority or constitutional law. MI
Moody thinks otherwise. Speaking OF
MarehaIFs opinion in the celebrated
case of Loughbrough VS.. Blake, Mr..
Moody said; This case had been sub
mitted to the court on Tuesday and
decided on the following Friday, and
he CMoody) was not ready TO accept
such a hastily formed dictum as de
termining the very destinies of the
country"
OF course not The fact that a de-
cision Of the supreme court could be
formulated in such a short time con-
vinces Mr.. Moody that John Marshalps
opinion is not worth much. Marshall
lacked the advantage Of an acquaint-
ance with the influences that secured
income tax case. Could ne but come to
life and learn something of constitu-
/ tional law, he would never think of
such a decision If he could have the
added advantage Of Mr.. Moodys ad-
vice. doubtless the great chief justice
would apologize for holding that new
territory acquired by the nation is en-
titled to IRE protection Of the constitu-

under the jurisdiction oe the country s

does not follow the flag, and that the

"sAGE BRUSH GOLDBuGS. &"

The New York World is highly pleas
ed over the vote cast for the single gold
standard in the senate. although it re-
grets that the Democratic party is lined
up against it as solidly as this vote
fixes the attitude of the Republican
party unalterably on the money ques-
ton"
The World says further that the
vote by which the senate passed the
gold standard bill presents, upon analy-
sis, several interesting and instructive
features"
The most significant feature, it says,
is that the bill received every Repub-
lican vote except that of Senator Chan
der of New Hampshire who stood out
upon his peculiar view of bimetallism."
But the most significant thing from
a western standpoint is that western
Republicans who were elected by free
silver constituencies and had it in their
power 10 defeat the hill, voted for it
and aided in its passage. The World
continues:
Tt received eleven votes from the min
ing camp and other far western states
that have hitherto been The main de-
pendence of the free silver movement
namely. Carter of Montana, Clark of
Wyoming, Foster OF Washington. Hans
bruugh and McCOmber of North Dakota.
Mcbride and Simon Of Oregon. Perkins of
California ShOUD Of Idaho. ThUTStOn Of
Nebraska and Wolcott Of Colorado. Had
these eleven votes been cast against the
bill. as six years ago they probably would
have been II would have been beaten
by a majority of five. The solid vote OF
the Republican senators from the mining
and sagebrush and granger states in
favor Of the gold standard bill marks
more plainly than anything else the death
of the cheap money dslusion-
Rather it marks more plainly than
anything else the exact spots VIII =
