Three Months, No Progress.

London, Jan. 1.-THE Standard sum-
marizes the situation thus: We'll,
the campaign has lasted three months.
We have something like 10000 troops
in South Africa. With this huge army
distributed over the country we are
still powcrless to relieve three garri-
sons from investment. We have still
to see large portions of both colonies
in the hands of the enemy.
I'VE have driven the invaders back
at no single point. We are acting fur
Their from the hostile frontiers than we
were on the day that the ultimatum
was delivered. The work which Min
listers believed could be effectually per-
formed with $4,000 men has not been
done, has not even been begun, by tour
or five times that number. Can any
one fail to admit that this is evidence
of q grave miscalculation of forces and
facts?"
The Times in an editorial criticising
at great length the Governments con-
duct of the war alludes to the stupid
and perverse mistakes" that have been
made and demands that the practice
of the non-revelation of facts" be
abandoned. 1t insists strongly upon
knowing the truth and the whole
truth about the situation" and finds
fault with Balfour's defense piecemeal.

BRITISH ABUSE WHITE FLAG.

Baltimore, Jan. 9.-secretary Van
derhooght of the Marylah- State I'M
migration Beard and the unofficial rep
Tcsentativo Of the Transvaal Govern
ment in this country has received from
Pretoria, South Africa, some important
documents. Although the two pack
ages had evidently been tempered with
and there was not line in either of
the two packages to indicate who sent
them, the censor allowed to pass a
sheet containing the correspondence
between the British and Boer authori-
ties with reference to the abuse of the
white flag by the Englishmen. The
correspondence says in part:
kilograms from the commander-in-
chief at Ven Reenans' Pass to the State
President, October 20: Cert Won Ro-
yam, who was slightly wounded in the
hand, reported that the BATTLE yester-
day at Modderspruitt, between Glands
Laagte and Ladysmith, continued from
s a. m. until 4 p. m. The troops who
fed past with the white flag took part
in the fighting when they reached the
Ladysmith division. Just before the
commencement of the fight train fly
ing the white flag steamed past and be-
gan to repair the bridge which was
burned by Commandant Nee.
when our cannon were leveled at
the train it took flight 1t appears there
is great abuse of the white flag"
Telegram from Commander-in-chief
Prinslee to the State President: Bril-
gader General Cronje reports as fol-
lows: "a body of English came here
with the Red Cross division until they
got into position, and then commenced
fighting. A kopje was taken posses
sion of by the enemy under cover of
the white flag, and when they were on
the kopje they commenced firing at
u.s."
Brigadier General de la Rey, of the
Ear signals from Riverton road No
4: 1T is reported to me that
the enemy twice made us by the white |
flag to secure better positions.

"BANKING" SWINDLES.

The Superintendent of the State Department
of Banking, in his annual report to the Legis-
lature, discusses at not unreasonable length
such irresponsible and fraudulent schemes Of
speculation as were lately eXemplifed on an
extraordinary scale by the Franklin Syndicate.
Mr. Klburn uses that concern an illustration,
but. as he says, its plan not original, ncr
was it more deliberate swindle, though more
ingenious, perhaps, and certainly more auda-
cious, than many Of the operations which come
TO his official knowledge in the course If the
year and cause distress to a larger smaller
circle of dupes. The question is how frauds
of this general character, pretending to sustain
a legitimate relation to the transactions of
honest bankers and brokers, can be prevented
without at the same time imposing unjust and
yexatious restrictions on those who want to
carry a useful business by proper methods.
There are some social philosophers of a rather
grim type who hold that foolish people should
be left TO learn by disastrous experience, or by
observation OF the calsmitles which others incur,
how to take care of their money. They some
times go so fer as to say that it ought to be
impossible TO collect debt by legal process, for
in that case nob3dy would be able to get credit
who didn't deserve il, at least after the world
had passed through brief period of education.
and that the result would be generally bene-
fetal But we haven't heard that this propa-
ganda was making converts rapidly. OF course,
il is true that If human nature We're widely diff
ferent from what it is a large part Of the laws
In existence might be repealed with perfect
safety and that If the difference were only
great enough the would get along ad-
mirably without any laws at all. But the stu
alton being what It is, organized society is re-
quired to spend a considerable part of its time
In devising and applying means for the protec-
ton of its ignorant and imprudent members.
If. for example everybody would merely exer-
else a Ettle common sense and discretion, an
New-York tribune., 1900-01-03

or bit of mining land II Is simply inconceiv-
able that any outside Power should really want
TO assume the task of occupying and governing
the Chinese Empire or any considerable portion
of It, The task is too vast. We do not say it
could not be done. But 1t would be Job before
which England's administration of India and
Russias of Central Asia, would dwindle into
mere childs play. There could be no COLOMBIA
ton: the population of the bulk of China is al
ready too dense. There could be no assimila-
ton: the gulf, political, educational, social,
and what not, between China and the rest of
the world is too broad and deep TO be closed
up in year or a century. And for alien garri-
sons remaining alien and entirely out of touch
with the native population, to overcome the
tremendous force of Celestial inertia and to
make the teeming millions obedient to their
will, would be about as nearly impossible as
any proposition in government could we'll be-
No; the Powers have enough on hand already
without essaying such a task. Great Britain
Russia Germany France, ali have expanded
territorialy to an extent that 1t will require the
whole of the next century to improve. For any
one of them to add China, or any considerable
part of it, to her domain would be an act of
disastrous folly. Hong Kong is well enough;
and If each of the others wants to have Hong
Kong of her own, Russia at Talien-Wan, Ger
many at kiao-Chau, France somewhere else,
and Italy at some other point, well and good.
Japan can probably operate sufficiently well
through Corea and Formosa and for the pres
ent the Philippines may serve all needs Of the
United States. But for the vast bulk of the
Chinese Empire. it is best to be left alone: with
an always open door, through which all ma
tons may enter equal terms, with those
gradual and benefcent influences of civilization
and human intercourse which may in time bring
Occident and Orient into harmonious fellowship.
