THE Boers have at last developed a
General Of some capacity in the person of
Commandant Louis Botha. who a year
ago was a pale-faced civilian, who proba-
bly, knew less about war than almost any
other man in the South African Republic.
But he recently fought two days battle
with Roberts's much superior forces, foiled
his fanking movements, extending over a
front of 80 miles, inflicted pretty heavy
loss On the British, and then safely with
drew his own army, without the loss of a
cannon, or any considerable stores or am
munition. This gives Lord Roberts cause
for reflection. He can no longer march
unmolested whittier he will with widely
separated and unsupported columns
2otha is at last doing what the rebels did
at the outset of our war, in keeping ad.
yised of his enemy's movements and at.
tacking isolated columns. But he Is prob
ably too late TO accomplish more than to
enable the Boers to end the war with some
credit, and possibly better terms.

Ev.lNs's contest was sUmmarily dis
posed of by the Republican National Com
mittee at Philadelphia last week. Evans
appeared before the Committee, and made
a most earnest appeal for the seating of
his followers. His statement of the facts
connected with the Tennessee Convention
was thoroughly controverted by Repre-
sentatives BrOwnlow and Gibson, who
claimed that the Convention was entirely
regular in all its proceedings, and all the
uncontested Delegates-Evans and other
wise-had free access to it, and all their
rights. Evans had found himself heavily
outvoted at all points, and carried out a
predetermined bolt. The Committee took
the view expressed by THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE at the time, that Evans was a
premeditated disturber of the harmony of
the party the moment that he found he
could not control it, and by a unanimous
vote the Committee threw out his contest
and excluded his contestees from seats
The only voice heard in his behalf in the
whole Committee was a half-hearted
proposition from someone to give each side
q half-yote, but this did not receive au
instant's consideration from the Commit
tee, and the proposer did not seem to ex
pect that it would. There was no second
to it. and no argument in favor Of it
Evans is now officially placed outside the
breastworks, as he eminently deserved
No man in the country has hurt the Re
publican party so much as he.

SOME of the Posts are hesitating about
passing resolutions condemnatory of Hen
ry Clay Evans, lest they expose their
members to his vindictiveness in regard to
pensions already allowed, or claims on
file. 1t will be noticed that we do not
publish the names of the officers of the
Posts-only the names of the Posts The
other copy goes to the President at the
White House. Certainly they will not be
given up TO the Commissioner of Pen
sions. The right of petition to the Presi-
dent is one of the most sacred of Ameri-
can citizenship. Those making it must
never be exposed to the wrath of the
recreant official of whom they complain.
Further, the response will be so general
that individuals will be lost sight of. "You
cannot indict a Nation" said Burke
Henry Clay Evans cannot persecute the
whole Grand Army of the Republic.

to know where he comes in on Gov. Stick
ney's railroad commission. In the guber-

that Gov. Stickney is considerably older
than Candidate Stickney was four years
ago, However, the whole matter Is re-
ferred 10 the genial Lawyer Fits of Brat
tleboro, who makes a specially of young
mems candidate outfits.
