cronis's Surrender.

The world has never been known tn
have looked upon true courage with.
out admiration. When the din of bat
tie is on ana the shouts of the warriors
are heard, 1t is not so hard to follow,
nay, even lead, the leaders when BRAY
cry becomes frenzy. 1t is quite an
other thing, however. to be hemmed In
without the slightest possible chance
Of escape and face to face with death.
That requires courage-that is, to know
your danger and confront 1t, while at
the same time you secretly wish you
were far away. Such was the situation
Of TIE brave General Cronje and his
Boer forces when encompassed by GEN
eral Roberts. Their attitude has been
of the most heroic character, and their
valor challenged the admiration of
their eneniies. The surrender of the
Boer general and his forces carries
with 1t no humiliation, and to the Brit
ish 1t is a victory that is nearly as
costly as defeat. While 1t is a serious
reverse toS the Transvaalers 1t must
:
not be supposed that they are near the
end Of their resources. The fighting
that is to come before they will sub
nit, unless peace can be secured with
honor to them, will be fan more bloody
than has yet been witnessed.
The London papers make much of
the eapltulatlon of Cronje, and refer to
its significance as occurring on the an
niversary OF "Ma5uba HILL" affecting
to believe that that awful slaughter has
been avenged. There is no comparison
between the two engagements, except
the similarity Of the dates. The Brit
ish have nothing to crow over and the
Beers have no reason to feel humIl-
lated.

Talking Again.

Mr.. Bryan is talking again. We say
again, for wonderful to relate, he took
a surly rest after the meeting Of the
national Democratic committee. which
sat down on his early convention
scheme. AS usual, he muses. things
up. He is not certain what the issues
of the campaign will be-from DEM
ocratlc standpoint, although he tenta-
lively admits that there are three ques-
lions before the publIc-thc money
question, trusts and imperialism. In
this he is wrong. The money question
Is settled beyond any hope OF resurrec-
tlon. There is no such thing as imper-
ialism in this country. but there is a
faction which is attacking the honor Of
the Nation, and advocating a cowardly
retreat from responsibilities that have
suddenly confronted 1t. AS to trusts,
that is a matter In which both parties
have committed themselves, with tho
difference that the Democratic party Is
morbIdly opposed to capital in any
form, while the Republican party draws
a distinction between unlawful and
proper combinations of capital.
Mr.. Bryan committed himself when
denying that the free silver sentiment
was dying out. he said:
mo, 1t Is not dying out, and the ed
itOrs who continue to say so know bet-
ter. The action Of the Republican
party in amending the currency bill

Senator Depsw. Of New York, made
his hrst set speech In the Omitted States
senate yesterday. and IKE Senator Bev-
erldGe. Of Indiana, broke over the an
ulent customs Of mat body with re-
gard to new m0mbers, who arc sup
posed to t.el seen and not heard until
they becomS thoroughly seasoned, But
many traditions Of this rather uuemo-
tiohhi'branch Of the government have
heeh violated Of late, and It Is well that
the barriers have been let down.
Senator /Depew's speech was com
hned to the resolution introduced by
Senator Beveridge. declaring the pur-
pose of the United States with refer
ence to the Philippines, and also the
resolution introduced by Senator Bacon,
OF Georgia, ON the same subject. The
New York senator stated as his prem
ises that tLc United States wera in the
Philippines, and there to stay, by con-
quest and by treaty rights, and that
all which preceded the ratification of
the Paris treaty was an academic ques-
ton. After reviswing the war with
Spain and explaining how unforeseen
responsibilities were thrust upon the
Nation, Senator Depew directed his at
tention to tho argument of those OPP
posed to the government policy In the
Pacific archipelago. MANY honest
minds" he said, have been confused
by the supposed application of the con-
sent Of the governed to the government
which Compress provides for new ter
ritories or colonies, and that It Is I'M
possible 30 rule them except by the
usual territorial process until by right
they are admitted into the union as
states. Here again a study Of the past
removes these dlmculti.s. Jefferson
was the author Of the Declaration Of
independence, and that is the one act
which he directed should be engraved
upon his tomb. He certainly knew the
breadth and limitations of Its axioms.
The government which he organized for
the territory of Louisiana had every ele-
ment which has been denounced as des-
potlsm in the Philippines,

by Congress and signed by Jefferson.
vested All military. civil and judicial
powers in such person or persons and
TO be exercised in such manner as the
President of the United States should
direct.
There was no consultation with the
inhabitants. no participation in their
government accorded them. and no
rights assured to them except The free
enjoyment Of their liberty. property and
religion. 1t is no answer to this prec-
edent to say that because there were
only 10000 white people in the terri
tory 1t was unnecessary to gain their
consent The constitutional rights OF
10000 are US precious and as sacred as
the rights OF 100000. From 1903, when
this colonial and imperial government
was imposed upon Louisiana, until 1919.
when Florida was conquered. pur-
chas.d anu coded by Spain, was ample
dime in which to discover vital blow
at the Declaration of Independence and
a deadly assault upon the constitution
Of the United States"
