GENERAL JOTBERT.

The Transvaal has lost its noblest son and
the one whom of all 1t could least afford to
lose. There are few names in the whole story
of that State better known than that of "Pet'
Joubert. There Is not one that deserves to be
written in larger letters or in a more honor
able place. Amid all the hurry burly Of com
plants and recriminatiOns of recent years he
stood unassailed. In all his long record of SER
vice. In peace and in war there was no ITEM
that could be quoted TO his discredt. There
was no one to whom the Boer people could
with better hope have looked for leadership
after this war. in his death the British have
been freed from their most formidable foe, but
they have also lost the antagonist for whom
they cherished the highest respect, and they
have lost, tOo one whose influence would doubt
less have been altogether and most powerfully
for good after the conclusion of peace.
"Piet' Joubert was a Boer of the Beers If
we were to adopt Mr. Krtiger's Scripture quot
ing style, we should say he was the one con-
spicuous Boer who never bowed the knee to
Baal. He was, IN fact. the only man of impor-
lance in the State who consistently opposed
the British remuneration in 1877. He then
a member Of the Executive Council of the
Transvaal. Every other member of that COun-
ell practically accepted the order of af
fairs by taking office under the British Gov
eminent. Paul KRUGER foremost among
those who did so. In words he protested
against the act of the British. In deeds he
became British office holder, and drew his
salary as such with unfailing regularity for
eight months Then he asked for Increase
of pay which was refused him; whereupon he
gave up his office and began war against Great
Britain. But Joubert alone of them all would
not take office under the British Government
and would not recognize the validity of the
British annexation.
But if he was thus irreconcilable toward
British domination, he was by means mar
row or despotic in his attitude toward British
and American settlers. In all the long disputes
over the wrongs OF the Outanders his voice
was invariably in favor of Cancellation and
Justice He condemned Mr.. Krtiger's narrow
policy. He would have granted the franchise to
the Outlanders on liberal terms. would have
permitted the use Of the English language in
official places, and would have abolished the
Ubiquitous and corrupt dynamite monopoly He
would in brief, have made the Transvaal a
State as free and progressive as its little neigh
Dor at the south. He resisted, too. with all his
might the mad eagerness of Mr.. Krtger end
Mr. Steyn for war His voice was for Ieace
although he did more than any one else to
equip the State for war. for he knew too well
what must be the result OF course. when tie
two Presidents forced the States into war he
did not sulk In his tent. He knew what the
end would be- but he did his best to avert or
TO postpone that end. How good that best OF
his was is written imperishably upon the
rugged hills which surround Ladysmith
1t is pre.umable that. had he lived, General

he became Chief Secretary for Ireland, imme

having hair of blackness Three months
afterward his hair had become white as snow.

KNOCKED OUT.

The Horton law for the protection and pro
motion of prlzefghting has been repealed. In
this rather unexpected result of the agitation
which has lasted for more than two years The
Tribune is entitled to take special satisfaction.
having from the beginning constantly held up
to the people of New-York a true picture of the
disgrace and decentralization which the opera
ton Of the law had brought upon them, and
having faithfully endeavored to impress upon
the members of two Legislatures a sense Of
their obligation to wipe it off the statute book.
To Assemblyman Lewis we offer hearty con-
gratulations upon victory which is peculiarly
his own. Last winter he was beaten by the
servants of the prizering who tried hard last
fall to prevent his reelection. but he sent
back to Albany in spite of them, and he took
with him an even stronger determination to
break up their nefarious business. The official
support which he ought to have received from
the Republican organization was withheld, but
he persisted with courage and energy secured
the publicly avowed sympathy of the Governor,
exerted himself to overcome the opposition or
Indifference of Republican members, not only
by personal persuasion but by stimulating
popular sentiment to forcible expression, never
relaxed his efforts hope waned, and has
achieved a complete success.
1t is gratifying to record the fact that at the
last only Republican deserter put himself
on the Senate record. Poor Willis! He ex-
pected company in his disgrace, but he is alone.
He did all that he could to save the brutes and
swindlers of tAe prizering, and doubtless he
deserves the appreciation which in their anger
and chagrin they may not be inclined to be-
stow upon him. There is Graney. too, the
Westchester Democrat. who declared last week
that his constituents demanded the repeal of
the Horton law and nothing should prevent
him from voting for the bill. DRY Dollar
Sullivan got after Graney. and he fell back
into line BY his own explicit acknowledgment
he has affronted and betrayed his district. and
we hope it is not too much to expect that his
district will make the punishment fit the crime.
1t was a good days work. PriZefighting has
lost the legal protection which public officials
by whom it might have been stopped chose TO
assume that the law gave it, and we do not
believe that the police will dare to permit its
continuance in any guise or degree after the
repeal bill goes into effect. On September

A DIPLOMATIC TRIEHPR

The full correspondence of the United States
Government with other Powers concerning the
maintenance of the open door in China forms
an instructive and eminently satisfactory chap
ter Of modern diplomatic history. The precise
purport of il made known to readers of
The Tribune long ago in the Washington cor
rpspOndence of this paper. 1t is sufficient to
repeat to-day what our Washington CORE
spOndent announced a month ago, that the
open door is now established beyond further
bubble For there can be no mistaking the
purport of the assurances made to Secretary
Hay 10y the chief Governments of the Old
World They have one and all pledged them
selves TO make no discrimination against one
another against the United States in trade
and travel in the Chinese Empire. That is a
fine triumph OF American diplomacy.
For il is through American diplomacy that
this result has beer attained. That. we sup
pose, intelligent observer will venture to
dispute. We do not say the policy of the open
door was invented in America 1t was first
heard. of and first urged in Great Britain Some
effort was made in Great Britain TO secure its
adoption by the Powers. But, unless all infor-
nation be at fault, that effort not success
full. The age long jeaousies and intrigues OF
European politics were too much of a handicap
TO any European Power in making such an en-
QpaFOr. 10 WIFI extent BTlllSn Govern
ment went in considering the matter we do
not know But it was made quite evident that
British hope had failed. and il became the gen
eral conviction in that country, according to the
most authoritative public expressions, that the
'open door" scheme must be abandoned. and
Great Britain must simply go in for as big a
territorial grab as she could get from the dis
integrating empire.
II was al that point that the United States
Government took the matter up. 1t was moved
10 do so. of course by its own immea surably
extended interests in the Far East. Had Dewey
not gone 10 Manila, the United States might not
have moved for the "open door" in China.
Risen 10 its new estate. among the foremost in
actual commerce with China, and the very
foremost In prospective trade with her, and at
the same time entirely free from the entangle-
ments and prejudices ana suspicious which EN-
i,arrass European Powers. this country WAS
prominently in a position 10 take the init
alive IN such a matter And yet il was by no
means an easy task. To negotiate an mpor-
tant treaty with one Power is no small thing.
But here was q -substantially-of the
highest importance TO be negotiated simultane-
ousiy with five great Powers in Europe and
one IN Asia. each of the six having Its own
peculiar interests. ambitions and purposes.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-03-29

How ably Secretary Hay has performed the
task the sequel shows. The simple announce
ment of the success Of his efforts was sufficient
to establish his triumph. The last corrobo-
rative detail is furnished in the text of the cor
respondence, which shows not only what was
DONE but how it was done. In his own words,
it can confidently be recorded that in the sue
cessful termination of these negotiations may
be seen proof Of the friendly spirit which
"snimates the various Powers interested in the
"untrammelled development of commerce and
industry in the Chinese Empire. and a source
''of vast benefit TO the whole commercial
world" That is a diplomatic triumph upon
which Secretary Hay is cordially to be con-
graduated, and of which the United States
may properly be proud
