THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.
Seattle. Dec. 80, 1879

Seattle, Dec. 30, 1899
To the Editor: 1t Is said that a majority
of Americans sympathize with England in
her war against the Beers. Do we SYM
dominated by Chamberlain, or that other
England made illustrious by John Bright
and the late marvel in statecraft, Mr..
Gladstone?
The latter made treaties Of peace with
the Beers granting domestic indepen-
dence; the former nullifies those treaties
and engages in a war to despoil them OF
all, including their country and its in
dependence.
Avarice and the overreaching for gold
breed misfortune and disaster to all mill
tary movements. Hence we see seven
Bribsh columns virtually besieged, be-
facilities and rapid concentration Of
forces. After all. the really rich nation Is

Seattle, Dec. 20, 1899.
To the Editor: Mention has been made
of England's beneficent rule in India and
Its superiority over that Of the former
native governments there. This may be
true from the English standpoint, but
the conquered Whispering Millions?
We do know that rapacity and CONNER
cial greed-begun by the famous British
East India Company and finished by the
British government--was the cause OF the
conquest OF India. 1t was clear case
OF national piracy. and to a great extent
this policy IL being repeated In the
Transvaai today. We know the condi-
tons laid down to the Beers by Chamber
lain were such as no nation exercising or
claiming sovereignty could for q moment
entertain. On the other hand, the Beers
DIRE nonprogressive, but their migration
too escape from living under the hated
British nag had its pathetic ana heroic
side.
Perhaps It Is hardly fair to blame the
England OF today for the wrongs. cruel
ties and misdeeds Of Englishmen OF the
past, but some of the past Is compare
lively recent. In the years Immediately
following the great French revolution it
was England that stood like a rock for
the old order of things and against the
reforms and recognition of the rights Of
the democracy which the revolution
brought about.
4 The infant power Of the United States
was the first power which refused to
pay tribute to the Barbary pirates, and
unaided broke their power, and up to the
outbreak Of our civil war was fully as ac-
tive as England in suppressing the slave
trade, Notwithstanding slavery. as an In
stitution. fiourished in one-half OF our
own country. What did England do at
this great crisis In our affairs? She blot
ted out her previous record and went to
the verge Of war to build up a great slave
empire at the expense OF the life of the
United States.
The assertion has been repeatedly made
that without England's stand In favor OF
the United States our operations against
Spain in Cuba and elsewhere could not
have gone forward to a successful COM
pletion. Our navy not being equal to the
combined navies OF Europe, we must adj
NIT this. But suppose such an interior
ence had come from the great powers
England with the rest? 1t would have
forced US to act on the defensive on our
coasts and to lay violent hands on Cana
da. The loss of all British North Ameri-
ca by force would have meant loss of
prestige to the British empire which
would have started her rapid decadence.
That the downfall Of the British em-
pire, Of which there are signs, will be for
the worlds good / do not believe She
has carried good government, civil and
religious liberty and unrestricted COM
merce wherever she has gone, and who
Is there who will say that France. Ger
many or Russia would have done SO
well7 No one. opine, would venture the
assertion. England has done wonder
full colonizing work and mas left her Inn
press in speech and institutions on the
greatest of modern nations--the United
States--and she has spent her best blood
for century or more on distant lands.
and this is why we begin to see signs of
exhaustion. JOHN F. HAMPDEN.

Seattle. WASH, Dec. 30, 1899.
To the Editor: Referring to your edi-
torial remarks In this mornings paper
commencing the conduct of Messrs. Piimp-
ton and Matterson in the attempted Bal
lard street car robbery. 1t occurs to NJ
each OF these men did not only brave
act, but a public service. which should not
go entirely unrewarded.
This sort of resistance to armed robbers
win have a wholesome effect towards the
diminution OF crime. 1t Is manifestly not
the right thing that Mr.. Plimpton should
bear his medical expenses, and doubtless
something additional to each of these men
in recognition OF their useful services
would not be out of place. For one, I
would be pleased to contribute toward a
fund to be equally divided between them,
after first deducting the medical expenses
of Mr.. Plimpton.
II this suggestion IL approved, will not
some one start the fund?

Future for Dairy,np.

Ine HOiuiuK OF tne OdiTyIuenb COu.
vention a North Yakima last week
again draws attention to an Industry
which is constantly growing and des-
tined to become one OF commanding
Importance. Its advance in recent
years has been a marked one. but It IL
nothing as compared with the progress
that will be recorded with an Increase
OF population, extension OF markets and
the adoption Of the most approved
methods Of dairy management.
Only few years ago the demand In
this state for dairy products had to be
met by importations from abroad. with
abundant pasturage and land cheap,
butter was furnished by Minnesota and
Iowa and cheese made at home was not
to be had. Families might have manu-
featured in small quantities for house,
hold use. but production adequate to
meet the wants of growing commune
ties was scarcely thought Of until q
very recent period.
It was demonstrated, however, that
farmers could afford to pay some at
tention to dairying. and as a result the
herds have increased. creameries have
been established and the output OF but
ter has become state product OF con-
siderable importance 1t has been found
that the climate 10 adapted to dairying.
The seasons are long. the pasturage is
extensive, the grasses are nutritious and
there ID market which is certain to
widen year by year. And It IL safe to
predict that instead OF importing butter
and cheese the dairymen Of Washing
ton win not only supply the home de-
msnd. but export In large quantities rs
well.
organisation ana their efforts looking
to the welfare of the dairy interests
have not been without good results.
Through exchange Of knowledge gained
by experience ana united endeavor to
bring dairying UP to high standards.
the best methods of management have
been adopted and the best quality Of
product In being turned out with far
more satisfactory returns to the dairy
man.
Western Washington Is a natural
dairying country. and, being highly
favored in this respect, It is only ques-
ton of time when Its surplus butter and
cheese should find profitable market
far beyond the confines OF the state.
The growing needs Of Alaska must be
met, and it can be done from Puget
sound more advantageously than from
any other section. Easy communities
ton with the Pacific islands and the
Orient win offer new markets and ac-
cording to all predictions it will be no
small task to supply them. Already an
outlet has been found for variety Of
our commodities, but many more
will be in demand, and those who have
made a study of trade conditions do
not hesitate to say that Hawaii, the
Philippines. China and Japan will be-
come great consumers of Washington
dairy products in the near future. Ger
tainly the outlook is a promising one.
and there Is every reason to believe our
dairy industry will expand rapidly and
become highly successful both as re-
CARDS quality of product and profit to
those engaged in the business.
