No Mediation for England.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: have
read The SUNS editorial this morning asking
why England and the Transvaal should not
now mediate.
In reply to this inquiry. | would say that
there is no analogy whatever between Eng
lands conflict with this country century ago
and the present war. Then the mother c,untry
was as clearly in the wrong as she is now in
the right in aghting as she is for the liberty
and representation OF the governed.
II Ia now proved beyond doubt that Kruger
has been preparing for war for the past four
years, holding the situation at boiling point
until the last arsenal was filed to the brim. the
last gun placed, and practically the last man
at his post Then, everything being ready. he
upset the pot all the tat was in the tre-and
war was on. solely by his act and deed, and. as
her state OF undergraduates proved, to Eng
lands great surprise,
speak ing for myself and every native OF
Great Britain known 10 me, would say. we
would never hold up our heads again IL she
should listen to talk OF mediation now.

stood 80 long Tor liberty and humanity among
the nations OF the earth. and has at inconceivj.-
bic cost p0lced the wide ocean until its remot-
est part Is as safe as New York harbor, | say,

effect Of making these States even more

Athird group Of States almost entirely ex-
cluded from membership In the Democratic
Congressional Committee, so far "a such
membership can be supplied directly from
the House, Is the New England group. Of
twenty-seven New England members
twcnty-four are Republicans; and OF the six
New England States only one. Massa-
chusetts, has any Democratic membership
In the present House, while not ono has a
Democratic representative In the Senate.
Some OF the other States from which
Democratic representation is lacking, Della
ware, Wyoming and Idaho, are not OF much
political Importance, but Kansas has long
been recognized as a political lighting
ground. Kansas has one Populist member
and no Democrat, the delegation being
made up, with this exception. OF Repub-
licans. Colorado and Nevada are repre-
sented by Slverites, 30 that tho actual
Democratic representation In the member
ship Of the present House is practically
limited to the States OF the South and
Southwest, the cities OF New York and
Chicago, and isolated districts In tho
strongly Republican States OF Pennsyl-
vana and Ohio.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee Is thus organized with large

A Democratic Convention Town.

Kansas has a serious rival In its struggle
TO be the seat of the Democratic National
Convention. California wants the honor
California, Mo. That metropolis Is twenty
five miles from jefferson City, one hundred
and fifty miles from st. Louis, and promises
novel attractions to Democratic National
Convention. In 1890 it contained 1,772
souls and few corporations. II offers an
agreeable contrast, dear to the Democratic
mind, to the haunts OF plutocmcy and
octopodocracy. 1t recks, so to speak, with
Jeffersonan simplicity, and is just the spot
whore the representatives OF the producing
classes ought to meet.
There are no palaces Of he Money Power
in California, Mo. There is not even an au-
dtorium or convention hall. The Demo-
Gratis are invited 10 meet in the California
Fair Grounds, a commodious park, where a
barbed-wire fence will be erected to separate
the delegates from the spectators. This
precaution will insure the delegates against
the incursions OF the buttonholing brigades
of the Vice President booms and insure the
spectators against the danger Of being
drawn into the arena by the immense cur
rents of magnetic oratory that will be
liberated. Barbed wire. however, is subject
to Trust and therefore taboo material In
Democratic convention. California, Mo-,
will have to build fence Of native wood.
