ALL WINTER CAMPAIGN
British Forces Are Now at a
Standstill.
TROOPS SLEEP In THE TRENCHES.
Lord Roberts Making Preparations to
Hold Bloemfontein Against Surprises.
No Advance Probable Until Winter Uni
forms Are Finished.

LONDON, April 10.-Britons are now
beginning, though reluctantly, to real
ize that Lord Roberts is in for q winter
campaign, lasting several months.
This is the end in few words Of the
high hopes based upon Lord Roberts,
brilliant dash to Kimberley and Bloem-
fontein.
Preparations are being made to hold
Bloemfontein against surprises Lord
Kitchener has been given an important
duty, being responsible for the protec.
tion of the railway, while Lord Roberts
ts waiting for remounts and winter
clothing for the troops. whose thin
cotton khaki uniforms and boots are
worn out.
Generals Brabant and Gatacre are
both at a standstill, Lord Roberts will
probably for some time confine his oper.
ations to clearing the Free State behind
him of raiders and to relieving Mafe-
king, for which purpose, apparently,
the Eighth division, now arriving at
Cape Town, has been ordered to Kim
berley.
Lady Sarah Wilson and other Mafe-
king correspondents send diaries Of the
doings there, showing that the Beers
have tried by abandoning their trenches
to lure the besieged out into mined
ambush. Fortunately the British en-
gineers discovered the mine, cut the
wire communication and unearthed $50
pounds of dynamite and war gelatine.
What the chances are for an advance
to Pretoria may be judged that only
from 6.OOO to 10000 horses are on their
way to the Cape. and from the fact that
the military tailoring departments only
within the last three weeks began MAX
ing woolen khaki uniforms. It is said
it will take two months to provide 2OO.-
600 uniforms.
Mr.. Steyn's address to the Free State

Fischer Wolmarans depntation has full
power to negotiate for peace, subject to

The Duke of Westminster, the Duke
Of Marlborough and Lord Henry Cav
endish Bentinck have gone to the front.
Wepener Garrison Is Isolated.
The Times publishes the following
from Wepener, dated April 8: "The
Wepener garrison is practically isolated.
However, the lines are enormously
strong and the forceis fully provisioned.
Desultory firing between outposts con-
tinues. A commando, estimated at
2,0OO, with four guns, went into laager
last night, five miles from here, in the
direction of Dewetsdorp.'
The Bloemfontein correspondent Of
:he Daily Mail telegraphing Sunday,
says: ''The air is thick with large
forces of the Beers to the southwark,
but there is no positive official informa-
ton on the subject. On the other hand
the railway is said to be well guarded. ;"
"Some remounts were fred on yester-
day on the railway while they were on
the way here from the south. The en-
emy are reported to be in considerable
numbers to the southeast of the line.
The Beers are also apparently feeling
their way frequently to the west Of the
line. A party has been thrown forward
and has reoccupied the laager at Paar-
deberg, partly to search for buried arms
and ammunition"

PIRATES AS REPUBLICANS.

Now comes the high and mighty
political pirate and in the ponderous
tones Of the swash buckler tempere 1
with the strldent whine of the pious
fraud declares its ignorance of the fact
that National Committeeman Sewail
was ever voted for at the polls or was
ever recognized by national Republic
can leaders. Such assumed ignorance
is bliss to the pirate: II would indeed
be folly to expect wisdom or fair &c
gree OF honesty.
Attacks upon Mr.. Sewall's standing
in the Republican party appear as Il
huge joke to national party leaders,
and serve merely to prove to those
leaders the shallow personal spite that
prompts such political balderdash.
Harold NJ. Sewall, elected to the Maine
Legislature by solid Republican vote,
Harold Sewall, elected chairman OF the
Maine Republican State Convention in
1896, Harold Sewall, elected with Sena-
tor Frye, Joe Manley and Congress-
man Nelson Dingley to represent the
Republicans of his State in the natiou-
al convention that nominated VIM. Nc
Kinley for the Republican candidate
for President of the United States,
Harold Sewall, who II President Me-
Kiniley had not stationed him in Ha-
wall would have been called by the
Republicans of his district to take the
place in Congress made vacant by the
death of Nelson Dingley. Harold Sew

former associates, political followers

Blaine; this is the same Mr.. Sewa,l
whom few, and they are mighty few
political indictments of the Hawaiian
Territory charge with being a rene
gade. This is funny enough to draw
tears of laughter from petrlfed owl.
The degree of honor, political or per-
sonal, possessed by the pirates whj
make these charges is further exempll-

fed by the fact that they were AMI

for his personal assistance st the ma
tional capital in securing for them the
personal interest and active support of
national Republican leaders, w'th
whom Mr.. Sewall was and is on the
closest terms of personal friendly in
timacy.
The fact that Mr.. Sewall did, after
fulfilling his official diplomatic du.
ties. urge upon his Congressional and
Senatorial friends that they grant Ha-
waiian-Americans the full rights of
American citizens as expressed by
manhood suffrage has secured for him
the spiteful enmity Of a clique of fast
fading power. which has spent It's
time since the Territory was estdb-
lished Offering insults to native Ha-
waiians and belitteling their character
as citizens.
| Mr.. Sewall, however. is true to his
| principles. an honest type Of capable
American manhood, thereby possess
| ing personal characteristics utterly
/ lacking in the mind or acts Of the poll
teal pirates and Boxers attacking hin.
The liberal principles which Mr. Sew
all and the Republican party preach
are always fulfilled irrespective Of tho
cowardly schemes of individuals with
axes of personal spite to grind at
the expense of the people.
True to its piratical character this
combination engaged in working out a
plan to destroy the Republican partS
announces that II sails under the Re-
publican banner Of Lincoln, Garfield
and Blaine. God save the mark
Their charges against Mr.. Sewall arc
funny. this is more funny, most funny
even ridiculous. Did the Republica a.
ism of Lincoln urge the disfranchlso-
ment of American citizens or did Il
free slaves? Has the Republicanisnl
of Garfield Blaine or Mckinley ever
voiced a sentiment expressing dis
trust in the character Of American
citizenship? Even the schoolboy knows
that It was the party of Lincoln, Gar.
field, Harrison and Mckinley that gave
the ballot to every American either
and now demands the protection 81
that right against just such attacks
now made in the organ of the loca
pirates.
BY its own words the Advertise
stands self-condemned. II has writ
, ten itself free from the respect or con
fldence of honest citizens and is nov
arduously engaged in making bright
the pathway Of the demagogue ant
traltorous Democracy.

PARALLELS OF HISTORY

The Japan Times says: An authority
on Chinese matters, just arrived home
from New Chwang, has been Inter
viewed by the Nippon. Among other
things he is represented to have stat
ed that, according to his observation
while in China as well as to the opin-
ions current among well-informGd
Chinese, the present crisis \ the re-
suit of scheme which has been &C.
cretly maturing in Picking during the
past few years.
Enormously believing that all the
woes Of China In recent years were due
to the complaisant and weakened
policy of the peace loving Ministers,
party of conservatives headed by
Prince Twanhnd Kang VI had come to
the conclusion that the adoption of n
stalwart policy was the only means
Of saving China.
Their original idea was first to thor
oughly reorganize the Picking Cabinet
on warlike basis, and then to open
negotiations with Germany and Rus
sia for the restoration of the territor-
les coded or leased to them. For this
purpose they gave their heartfelt sup
port and encouragement to the Boxer
movement. But the authority from
whom We are quoting believes that the
premature explosion and misguided
eNtravagances of the Boxers, have quite
upset the deeply laid program of Prince
TWAIN and his associates, who did na
mean to fight against any other power
except Germany and Russia.
The cardinal idea OF the new warlIke
party seems to have been that the as
sertions of China's military strength
was a measure absolutely necessary for
restoring her relations with the outside
world to something like normal
state. We do not vouch for the Coz
rectness Of the last mentioned theory
as to the object of the conservative
party, but If +; is well founded, II
brings out an interesting historical par
allel with the ideas prevailing among a
large section Of the japanese forty
years ago, when the question OF for
eign intercourse powerfully agitalcd
the minds of the people.
In those days, the predominant idea
among "a powerful party of our think
ers was first to fight with the foreign
nation and then to grant them the
privileges of commercial intercourse as
voluntary favor, there being In the
minds OF these leaders no notion of
possible defeat on the part of their
country. Thus far the parallel seems
to he nearly perfect, but It remains to
be seen whether the sequel will he
the same in China as 1t has been In
this country. In our case, as soon as
we were rudely reminded of our weak
ness by the two little bombardments OF
Shimonoseki and Kagoshima, we a.
once set ourselvesw it'll the open mind
ed docility of a willing student 10
learn from the West all the true secrets
of its strength. viii the present dlsas-
ter to China have at last the same
benefcent effect upon the Chinese? We
sincerely hope It viii, and such Is the
hope of her well wishers all over the
world.
