SOLUTIONS more ideal out there
was no other that was practical, +,
in view OF the exigences Of the
British empire and the facts of
human nature. The thing most
to be desired, therefore, was
that the war should be pros
ecu+ed with the utmost vigor,
ana brought to an end promptly,
with the least suffering and loss
of life on either side. The stub
born resistance of the Beers,
after it was certain that they
must yield in the end, may have
been heroic from one point of
view ; but it was too cruel and
useless to be admirable. Hero
ism is a word that should be
kept to apply to cases where
brave and self-sacritficing deeds
have an adequate reason and
motive. To continue fighting
in a hopeless cause, merely
through vindictive determina-
tion to make an enemy's victory
cost him the more dearly, is not
heroic in the best sense. Con-
sidering their numbers, the
Beers have displayed an amaz-
ing military prowess, and their
Othcers 10 particular have shown
qualities, by comparison with
which the British officers have
not gained admiration any
where except in their own coun-
try. But the great, laundering
British army in South Africa
has been brave, has done it's
best, has shed an appalling
amount of blood, and has suf-
fered almost indescaibable hard
ships incident to the horrible
regions in which it has had to
march and fight and suffer from
fevers. And from the point of
view of sthis great army, still
suffering in South Africa, and
from that Of the tens of thou
sands Of enfeebled men invalid
ed home, it would have been
wellnigh inconceivable that the
country should not have put the
stamp Of its approval upon them
and their work. But how else
could it show its appreciation
and express its purpose to
evolve some kind Of valuable
result out of the army's painful
achievement except by taking
the patriotic view of the war
and the situation, and by voting
to sustain the government.

Englishmen, to be a supreme
necessity for presenting to the
outside world an appearance of
standing by ones own country
and ones own government.
WHICH WAS ALSO A NECESSARY
RESULT.
This, under the circumstances
was not merely natural, but
commendable. The defeat of
the present government at Just
this juncture would have hurt
England in the outside estima-
ton, particularly in view of the
fact that there was no coherent
and united opposition, with an
acknowledged leader and def
inite policy of it's own. The
great army in South Africa
the largest ever sent so far away
from home by any European
country in modern times-was
still encamped on hostile soil,
not with great battles to fight,
it is true, but with an irritating
and difficult state of guerilla
" Grfare to contend with. This
was not the moment for chang
ing parties, nor was it a reason
able time for holding an cleo
ton. The war cannot now
be undone, needless and bad
though it was and the annex
alton of the Boer republics could
| not be reconsidered without pro-
ducing a convulsion throughout
the British empire. 1t was
indeed inevitable, when Kruger
issued his ultimatum and made
his appeal to arms, that British
supremacy should be complete
| ly established in the Transvaal.
AS we have maintained from
the beginning, there was moth
ing in the practical alternatives
that lay before Mr.. Kruger and
his colleagues at Pretoria that
in the least justified war. So
long as the contest was a dip
lomatic one, the people in Eng.
land who sympathized with Mr..
Kruger as against Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain's diplomatic meth
DDS were many and influential.
The only hope for the Beers lay
in appeals to English public
opinion. This chance was for
feited when resort was made to
force. We do not, of course,
justify the English Government
in refusing arbitration but the
Boer ultimatum and invasion Of
Natal left England with nothing
else to do than fight. And when
a war comes, no matter what
provoked it, any nation worthy
to exist will fight as hard as it
can. The English were at once
committed irretrievably to the
permanent reduction of the
Transvaal and the Orange Free
State.

A Quick Campaign in England.

The people of the British Isles
have chosen a new House of Com
mons. Their Parliamentary cleo
tions are not held on the same
day, but run through period ef
about two weeks. This arrange
ment is for the benefit of proprie-
tors owning land in different
places, who arc entitled to travel
about the country and cast a
vote wherever they have hold
ings. One Of the chief demands
of the Liberals, for a number Of
years past, has been zone Man
One Vote" as in the United
States the multiple vote of
property-holders redounding
chiefly to the benefit of the
Tories. This years voting,
which began on Monday, Oct.
1, and ended virtually on the
18th, was upon the basis of the
old registration of five years
ago, and, of course, also upon
an unchanged basis of distri-
button of seats-or apportion-
inert, as we would say. The
use of a five-year-old registration
list or "voting-roll" operated
as a practical disfrancisement
of many voters and this was
distinctly detrimental to the
Liberals. The whole thing was
put through with something like
indecent haste. 1t was an
nounced on September II that
the old Parliament would be
dissolved on September 25, and
that it's newly elected successor
would assemble at Westminster
on November l. ct has now
been decided, however, not to
hold a session until February. J
WITH THE EXPECTED RESULT.
The results of this English
election were foregone con-
clusion. The Ministerialists-
to use the word that came to be
quite generally adopted for
those who were supporters of
the Salisbury-Chamberlain gov
ernment-have secured almost
exactly the same majority in
the new Parliament that they
won five years ago. Although
this is a large majority, about
1872 in a total house Of 670,-it
is by no means, under all the
circumstances, a highly brilliant
victory. Modern England had
never INDUCED in such trans
ports and paroXysms Of enthu-
siasm over anything else as over
the pitiable war for the destruc-
tion of the two tiny Dutch re-
republics Of South Africa. And
the election was held on the eve
of Lord Roberts formal an
nouncement of the annexation
Of the Transvaal-the annex
alton Of the Orange Free State
having been accomplished sew
eral months earlier. To most
Englishmen, the South African
struggle has presented itself as
a life-and-death matter for the
British empire ; and the minis
try-perhaps less worthy of the
nations enthusiasm on its own
pure merits than any ministry
that England has had for a very
long time-has been indorsed,
not because it has been genuine
ly admired. but because there
has seemed, to the majority Of

Africa's Gold Supply.

That the war III the Transvaal il
going to have serious effect on the
gold output of the world has been
recognized by thoughtful men, but
perhaps the extent OF this calamity
may not have been fully realized.
1t is fact shown by statistics that
in 1898 the output of the Witwater-
and reached the enormous total OF
over SIS, 100000, which was more
than 25 per cent OF the output of the
entire world for that year
But for the war in the Transvaal
the output would have reached d
value of 500, 900.
Putting the United States on the
gold basis at a time when the out
put of gold is being reduced so great
ay is a dangerous experiment.
However, the republican party,
through its leaders, is resolved to
push the matter through congress
regardless of results, and one of those
results may be the defeat of Mckin-
ley in 1900.

FILIPINOS ARE ROUTED.

Manila, Dec. p, (1O:15p. m-)-Col
'Lockett, with Il force of $500, III
Guiding artillery, attacked this morn
ing a strong force OF insurgents IN
trenched in the mountains near Mon
fabian, about five miles northeast oil
San Mateo. The enemy We're com
pletely routed. the Americans pur-
suing them through the hills amid
which they fled in every direction.
Four Americans were wounded.
The Filipino loss was large, resulting
from a heavy infantry and artillery
fire for three hours into the trenches.
1t is supposed that the insurgents
were those who were driven out of
San Mateo on the day Gen. Lawton
was killed. They numbered prOba-
bly, thousand.
A dozen lines of insurgent trenches
covered the steep trail through the
hills and the valley below along
which the Americans passed.
The main attacking party consist
ed of the forty-sixth volunteer in
fantry, Col. Lockett commanding in
person. The rest OF the command
operated from remote points in an
endeavor to carry out Col. Lockett's
plan of throwing his lines around the
enemy and thus cutt ng off his re-

The nature OF the mountainous
country made it impracticable to ex
ecute this movement successfully.
After the insurgents began to run
there was a vain attempt to use ar

MANY PENSION CLAIMS FILED.
Spanish War Soldiers Not Backward in
This Particular.

| ashington. ID. c.. Dec. 2I.-Ap
plications for Spanish war pensions
still continue to be received at tn,
pension Office from members of the
Seventy-tirst New York regiment
and the total flee - bc'a" O. this
regiment has now reached BIS.
Commissioner of pension Evans
said to-day that he had an idea that
"a considerable percentage OF the APP
plications would be allowed, as il
would probably be found when the
cases were looked into that the disa-
bilities on which pensions had been
asked We're of n temporary character
and not pensionable-
The commissioner said that there
was no way by which an estimate
could be made OF the total amount
that would be paid to the members
OF the seventy-frst regiment if all
TIER claims should be allowed, for
the claims do not set forth the
amount OF the pensions. They state
the disabilities, leaving the rating to
be fixed by the medical examiners of
the pension Office.
Most of these claims are filed under
the law of $50. The average amount
paid on each pension granted under
that law is about 500 a year, so
that if all the claims filed by the sew
New York should be allow
ed at the same average they would
cause an annual expenditure of S34,-
co. Should all the $4,000 Spanish
war pension claims be allowed at the
same rate it would increase the pen
sion eXenditures by S2.725.O00.

restore order there and then allow
these people to make a government
