A DEMAND FOR PEACE.
England Gets Little Else than Elk
pense and Humiliation Out of
South African War.

London, Dec 1.-The extent to which
England is Disguised with the South At
rican war, which has entailed nothing
but expense. mourning and humiliation,
may be gathered from a proposition in
the Statist. the greatest and most infiu-
entail weekly i'll England, and often Sc
jected by the ministry as a medium for
testing public opinion on line Of policy
it is meditating.
The Statist will propose that the gov
eminent will open negotiations with
Gems. Botha and Dewet for ending the
war. 1t will suggest that the civil au-
thorities make the proposition. as the
Beers might misunderstood the over
lures if made by the military command
ers. Sir Alfred Miner, j. III. Hofmeyr,
of the chief justice of Cape Colony are
the names suggested.
Britain a Heavy Loser.
The Statist bases its proposition upon
the disastrous state of affairs in South
Africa, saying:
We are losing in every way, losing in
prestige and losing in trade. We are see
ing our South African possessions
plunged into greater and greater distress,
and the opinion is gaining ground abroad
that we are incapable of bringing the
struggle to a satisfactory termination"
1t will charge military incompetence
saying military harshness should be
IF men like BOtha and Dewet vOlun-
tarily surrender and bind themselves not
to act against us in the future" the Sta
fist says, lis there any good reason why
a promise should not be given not to
send them out of the country? ]. b.
Robinson suggests that Botha and De-
wet be invited to take seats in the legis-
lative council that will be established.
The suggestion is worthy Of approval.
The Beers should not be excluded, even
from the beginning, from anything which
can safely be given them"
A Ray of Comfort.
Details of the dislodgment of Com
mandant HerZog's forces at Luckhof by
Settles column are more cheerful reading
for Englishmen than the dismal story of
Dewetsdorp, since it is fresh proof that
the British can fight the Beers in their
own way. Dewet's exploit is not under
rated, but is commented upon as an Incl
dent which will revive Dutch coura ge
and prolong the period of hostilities in
definitely. By strange coincidence, it
has occurred on the eve of Lord Rob
erts' departure from South Africa and
Lord Kitchener's assumption of the chief
command. The grimir CT the situa-
ton has even keener edge when
the sorties of Dewet's Rough Riders are
contrasted with the JOY in the smart sets
over the return CT the Household cavalry
at the moment when Kitchener needs
scores of strong columns of mounted men
for hunting down the reorganized Boer
commanders.
The appointment of Lord Kitchener to
command il. South Africa is generally
welcomed. 1t is admitted that an ardu-
Gus task lies before him. but he is spoken
of as the right man in the right place.

were searched before entering the ring
made by their friends and the fight was

KRUGER's MISSION.

The visit Of Mr.. Kruger TO France
reminds one, in many particulars, OF
the famous trip Of Kossuth 10 this coun-
try In 1852 The Hungarian patriot,
too. was received with evidences Of the
greatest enthusiasm. He was recog-
nlzed by Congress. and his tour from
city TO city was one grand ovation. But
the end OF It all was that he left the
country disappointed and with no def
mite results as TO the real object Of
his mission.
Kruger now is about TO leave France,
and he is turning his eyes toward Ber-
lin. IL seems, however, that there is
no encouragement held out to him In
that direction. Germanys attitude Is
one Of frlendllness toward Great Brit
ain, and no demonstrations will be per-
mitted in that country, which may en-
danger these relations. The Boer pres
ident has no advantages TO offer as an
inducement for friendly interference in
behalf Of his people, and governments
do not move nowadays merely for the
vindication Of principles. Never was
public sentiment more aroused than at
the time Armenian Christians were
massacred in great numbers by the
Kurds. but the governments remained
inactive although a military demon
stratlon against Turkey would have
been a comparatively small undertake
ing.
Nevertheless, the proposition OF the
London StRtist, that Great Britain COM
mence negotiations with the Boer com
manders. deserves careful oonsdera-
ton. a policy Of Weylerism in South
Africa can only embltter the people,
and cause further trouble And II this
policy should be commenced while Kru-
