Lord Roberts, Learning That Discomfort Among the Boer

With the Result Stated Two DiStin-

London, Feb. 2S.-(Wednesday 4 80 a.
m.(-From John O'GrOat's to Lands
End there has been cheering today for
the Queen and universal singing of
the national anthem. This with mutual
congratulations, is the Briton's way of
celebrating the most cheerful day of the
war.
Already he Is taking stock Of the situa-
ton and measuring the future. There
Is no disposition to over-estimate the
success The Government entertains no
illusion. As announced in the House of
Commons, 10000 additional troops will
be kept near 100000.
Lord RoberUs has done more than
to capture 4.000 Beers and few guns.
He is within striking distance Of one of
the Beer capitals and is master OF
large district OF the Free State. He has
given Il shock TO Boer confidence and
imHnea surably restored the spirit Of his
own troops. In capturing Cronjc he has
taken q leader whose presence alone was
worth thousands To the Boer' cause.
Transyaalers are certain to continue the
fight with undimiEisled valor but at is

POINTS LEFT IN DOUBT.
London, Feb. 28.-(4:30 a. m.-Wed-
Desday. Lord Roberts has not allowed
the corps of descriptive writers with him
70 supplement his p,ain narrative as y(t
and there are some points in doubt. 1t
Ia not clear whether the four thousand
prisoners include those taken in small
parties before the capitalization. What
has become of the rest of the Beers who
held the Magersfontein lines and where
are the big guns? The SIM illness of
CTenje'S force causes some wOnd dorment.
The morning papers, without exception,
comment ON the achievement of the BoeT
header and men in holding off for ten days
force from six to eight times as large
as their own.
British opinion is far more generous in
victory than in defeat.
Sir RedverS Butler is having hard
time IN Natal 1t rs evident now after
fortnight's fighting that he was misled
when he wired that there was only a
weak rear guard between him and Lady
smith. Apparently some of the hardest
fighting of the war took place at the end
Of last week as an armistice was agreed
upon to allow attendance upon the
wounded and burial Of the dead. Both
sides must have lost heavily. AT amy
moment, however, news may come of
General Buffers success. Friday will be-
gin the fourth month of the siege of the
garrison. which is seemingly in posi-
tion where il is unable TO do anything

preston among Democrats in 1896:
wait till you hear from the country"
Even after the early returns showed
Bryan's defeat, the Democrats would
not give it up and said: 1T will be
different when YOU hear from the far
mer vote" But when the farmer vote
was heard from it was found to have
varied very little, except in a few To-
calities, from the regular vote. The
Republican farmers stuck to their
party though they talked silver. Is it
not likely the Democratic farmers will
stick to their party this year, when it
is more in accord with their views than
ever before, fighting their foes
trusts, high taxes and imperialism?
The party that looks for a sweeping
change in the country vote knows lit
tie about the steadfast devotion OF the
average farmer to his political party.
With nine out of ten, they vote the
same ticket from youth to old age.
