MR.. KRUEGER's PLEA FOR PEACE.


The Transvaal President has asked the British
Government for peace on terms which he him
self names, but which, we are told, not
taken seriously in London The latter is a mat
ter of course if the terms are such as are stated
Mr. Krtiger is said TO have proposed a return to
the status quo ante bellum, with the indepen-
dence of both the Boer States assured and with
some such settlement of the Outlander question
as he himself proposed and the British Govern
ment rejected last summer. 1t is doubtful II he
expected such a proposition to be accepted or
even seriously considered. He probably made It
for the sake of gaining little time or Of com
pelling the British Government TO assume the
odium of refusing to make peace. That Lord
Salisbury would instantly reject any such pro-
posal a foregone conclusion. From the
British point of view he could not have done
otherwise without fatal qualification.
Many Americans will doubtless think, or pro-
fess TO think, otherwise, and will bitterly de
nounce the British Government for not more
favorably receiving Mr.. Krigers plea, espe
cially such Americans the member OF Con
gress who prayed that the price of Grape in
London might be raised and the NewYork
friend OF the Beers who at a Lincoln dinner
the other evening declared that the flag of "Oom
Paul" truer TO principle than the flag Of
Abraham Lincoln. 1t is difficult, no doubt, for
one to put himself In another's place and TO
view subject that other does. But perhaps
we can get pretty close TO the British point of
view in this matter If we imagine Spain, upon
the destruction of Cervera's feet, to have pro-
posed peace upon the basis of the complete
establishment of her sovereignty in Cuba, Puerto
Rico and the Philippines. the Cubans to be con-
tent with the autonomy" given to them under
General Blanco. Such proposition would have
been received In this country with mingled de-
rision and execration, and its acceptance or
serious consideration by this Government would
have aroused a universal storm OF protest and
of wrath. 1t is thus that the British nation
CARDS any proposal of peace which would re-
store the vexatious state of affairs which pre-
vailed before the war.
No doubt It seems harsh to refuse peace but
that is the unchaenged right of the victor until
II will seem harsh for Great Britain to deprive
the Boer States of their independence, thus
making this q of conquest; but, we
pointed out yesterday it was the Beers them
selves who set the example when they annexed
British territory and proclaimed their
against Great Britain to be a of conquest
The inevitable may well be faced. The
British Government is evidently determined to
make a final settlement of the South African
question once for ALL And that settlement will
doubtless leave only sovereign Power be-
tween Cape Town and the Limpopo.

As TO ADJOURNMENT.

Albany dispatches announce that concurrent
resolution fixing March 81 as the date for final
adjournment of the Legislature VIII be intro
duced on Monday night in both branches unless
the Republican leaders at Albany are otherwise
advised in the mean time Views as TO the
length of the session have undergone repeated
changes and the present programme is likely
enough to be rearranged before Monday night,
though the chief reason suggested for putting
the Legislature out Of commission as soon as
possible may fairly be supposed to appeal
strongly 10 the minds of the managers. They
are said TO be much disturbed by evidence that
the public believes the two political machines
have combined against the people, and hope
that speedy adjournment would diminish their
troubles. But the end of an Improbable ses-
sion does not necessarily divert attention from
those who have made ii SO. Once In a while, on
the contrary, ii subjects them TO an extremely
annoying scrutiny, resulting in their condemna-
ton by the voters at the ensuing election. 1t
seems to us that this is a fact which the Repub-
lican managers viii do well TO consider carefully
before they issue order which would pre-
sumably prevent the doing of several important
things which the people manifesty want to
have done.
1t is not improbable that Governor Roosevelt
who has arranged TO spend to-day and to-mor-
row IN convenient proximity to the Fifth Ave
rue Hotel VIII be able TO secure official dis
cussion Of this matter 1t can scarcely fail to
interest him intensely for he must be aware
that for a positive betrayal of the public well
fare by the Legislature, OF for Il merely barren
session, he would be held partly responsible.
There are some bad bills at Albany which an
adjournment OF March 81 would doubtless de-
feat, but satisfaction on that account would not
induce the voters TO pardon the failure Of other
measures which they consider indispensable.
The rulers of this city are causing or permitting
1t TO be pundered abominably at the present
time, and their plans for the future include at
least one scheme still more outrageous than any
they have yet succeeded in accomplishing. The
name Of IL is Ramapo, and IL is precious in their
eyes II the Legislature leaves them a clear
field IL will be because the common report of an
alliance between Tammany and the Republican

A CHALLENGE TO THE POLICE.

Charles T. Ackron, manager of a vile den
called the Tivoli. defies the law with a bold
ness rarely approached. THE New-York Her
aid" quotes Ackron as talking In this way:
Sure, 1 snapped my fingers in the "copper's'
face, and sent my regards to Chief DeYery.
What do / care for him? I'm running inside the

and it is likely, therefore that it gives cor
recty the language Of this ruffan. What does

EDWARD j. PHELPS.

The death of Edward J. Phelps will evoke
many sincere expressions of regret at home and
abroad He was not generally known 10 his
countrymen until he had passed the age at
which most men destined to take an important
part in public affairs begin 10 think of laying
down their burdens, but during the last fifteen
years of his life it his happy fortune 10 be
regarded with respect and esteem in all parts
of his own country. and to he held in affection
ate remembrance by many of the best men and
women of a country not his own.
1t is no diSpara cement of Mr.. Phelps to say
that his nomination as Minister to England
caused much inquiry and surprise, for he had
lived all his life in State where political dis
tinction is rarely attainable by members Of the
party to which he belonged, and in which profes
sional success seldom confers professional celeb
rity. But President Cleveland had been well
advised. The talents and the temperament of
Mr.. Phelps qualified him in an unusual degree
for the diplomatic service while the social
acceptability which proceeds from transparent
sincerity of feeling and perfect simplicity of
manner was instantly recognized in the official.
arstocratic and literary circles to which In his
representative capacity he was favorably intro
duced. He possessed, moreover, not only that
faculty of fluent speech which seems to be re-
garded in England naturally belonging to
the character of a Minister from the United
States and the frequent employment of which
is almost deemed TO be one Of his duties. but
discretion which Is still more rare and fndfs-
penSable First of ALL however, he was an Amer
lean, whose patriotism was never under sus-
pcion and who honored his country not by de-
claiming but by exempfying It's highest virtues.
Thus he served 1t faithfully. and in a true sense
mpressively from the day of his arrival in
London to the hour of his departure. and, re
turning, left behind him a host Of friends and
brought home an enduring title to respect and
gratitude.
Mr.. Phelpss closing years, quietly spent in
the occasional practice of the law and IN the
instruction Of his classes at Yale, have never

patriotic contribution to the cause Of National
honor and public security. blameless and
useful life is ended.

An INHERITED REBUEE.

Mayor Van Wyck's sharp and testy remarks
at the meeting of the Armory Board, when the
resolutions asking the Dock Board to turn over
certain property for the use of the ID Naval
Battalion We're under consideration. were char
acteristic Of the man. While they might in
charity be ascribed to a bilious temperament,
the men whose service in the State Naval Re
serve he denounced as a means for social ad-
vancement will take a different view of the
matter.
The record of the I'd Naval Battalion Is one
OF which every member of that organization
may be proud. 1t performed duty for the State
during the war with Spain in coast signal ser
vice 1t guarded the mine fields at Willets
Point, and its members We're in active service
on the Jason, the Aileen. the Elfrida. the En-
quirer, the kanawha the Restless and the Syl-
via. For this service the battalion received au-
thority to place silver rings the lance of its

Havana, August H. 1885,
There may be good reasons why the battalion
should not have the armory for which it has
asked. despite its good and honorable record; ;
but there seems to be no good reason why the
Mayor should belittle the organization by say

and nobody knows 1t better than Governor
Roosevelt.
1t might not be safe to predict what the Gov
ernor will say on this subject to Mr.. Platt and
Mr.. Odell before he returns to Albany, but it
will be both possible and interesting to deter
mine hereafter from the course of events what
he did say. We hope that his remarks will in
clude a somewhat pointed allusion to the desira-
blity Of an extra session. in case the Legslat-
ure should adjourn leaving its most imperative
obligations unfulfed. We do not question
either the rectitude or the general wisdom of the
Governors purposes, but it seems to be impor
tant that the limits of Mr. Patt's cordial

tended. and we think that it is within the Gov
