An Illusion Dispelled.

Some three months ago proClama-
ton was made that the war in South
Africa was practically ended; it was
understood that Lord Roberts was
about to return to England and leave
to O subordinate commander the work
of completing the extinction of the dy-
ing embers of the contest for the sub
jugation of free and independent peo-
pie, small in numbers and weak in the
means of defense against any of the
great powers of Europe, and particu-
larly England.
Events have occurred from time to
time that indicated that freedoms
battle, bequeathed from bleeding sire
to son." was still being heroically
waged in the Transvaal, notwithstand-
ing it's distressing reverses. Recently
England was sobered by the report of
the capture of large force of her SOL
diers and their guns by Boer detach-
ment, some distance southwest from
Bloemfontein, and by the renewed inn
minence of revolt in Cape Colony.
This disquieting news was supple
mented by call from Lord Roberts
for $4,000 more of England's best
troops.
Meantime President Kruger has
been warmly received in France by the
populace and the highest officials of the
Republic. President Loubet called on
the exiled chief and his example was
followed by the premier, Waldeck Ros-
seau, and by Delcasse, minister of
foreign affairs. Resolutions of sympa-
thy were adopted by the municipal
council Of Paris and by the Chamber
of Deputies and the Senate. These
were not mere perfunctory expressions
of feeling. They were of an ardent
character. President Kruger left Paris
after the impressive reception he had
received, amid demonstrations of pop
ular enthusiasm greater than were
accorded to Franklin in the last cen.

les. He went to Cologne with the in
tention Of seeking the intercession of
the German Emperor with the govern
ment Of Victoria, his grandmother, in
behalf OF the Boer commemorative.

The Unlamented,

The Legislature has adjourned for
good-the good of the State. Its err
rors were those of omission, rather
than commission. OF the four consti-
tutional amendments, three were
brushed aside and the one OF least i'm
portance, relating to the power to fill
vacancy in the office of Senator or Rep
resentative, was acted upon favorably.
Not single constructive measure of
importance was enacted, although sew
eral came before the Legislature for
consideration. The talk of retrench-
ment in State expenses proved to be
largely blast through the megaphone
The appropriations provide for an ex
penditure of 8 100000, but provision
was made for only 81, $50, 900, so that g
big deficiency bill will be saddled or
the next Legislature. The good which
will be said of the late lamented Legis.
lature will be said negatively. Aside
from being an expensive luxury, it die
little harm. In the main it left The
old laws as they were, and few of it'
enactments will arise as compromising
and embarrassing apparitions in the
future. Vermont Phoenix.
