NEARING THE END.
HOUSTON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20

/. begins to look at last as II the war Ia
South Africa was rapidly nearing Its end.
but even now no one can say that the
pickering flame will not burst forth again
brilliantly before 1t is wholly extin-
guished. We have been treated to so many
surprises by the Beers that we dare not
say they have yet exhausted their re-
sources.
1t has been magnificent fight that
these farmers and cattle raisers OF the
Dutch republics of South Africa have put
up against the might and wealth OF old
England. Whether we dislike or admire
the British, whether our sympathiee we're
one way or the other, We can give to the
Beers the full NEED OF praise for having
conducted bravely and brilliantly one OF
the most stubborn battles for liberty in
the history Of the world
Their opponents were not TO be despised
BY any nation IN the world. The British
soldier has no superior In courage or In
bulldog tenacity. Had the opposing armies
met in the open and in pitched battle, tho
comparatively small force OF Beers could
not have escaped instant and crushing de-
feat. But Il Is creditable TO the skill OF
the Boer chiefs that they pursued differ
emit tactics and by their familiarity with
the country and by their mobility pro-
longed seemingly 50 hopeless struggle
into months when their foes thought TO
make the war matter Of weeks only
The result will be a distinct disappoint-
ment TO those good people everywhere
who have believed that right and justice
would prevail against the mere weight Of
numbers or resources. The Beers had a
right 10 be free. That they have been
beaten down by the might Of England IS
but another OF those bloody and hard
chapters In the history Of imperialism wish
which the world is now only TOO familiar.
We ourselves are writing q similar chap
ter today and we can not criticise Great
Britain with any greater severity than we
criticise this model republic" the "hope
OF mankind"
But we can admire the stubborn will
the high purpose, the sacrifices aud the
courage Of the victims OF imperialism whc
resist conquest until resistance becomes
folly. The Beers have about reached tha
last stage now where 1t were madness tc
prolong the struggle further. The curtain
ought to be rung down before there is a
further and useless slaughter of brave
men
Possibly In the case OF both the Beers
and the Fllipinos time will set all thing:

The Chattanooga News. recognized as
this leading newspaper supporter OF
Bryan in Tennessee. last week perpe-
trated a cruel Joke on the anti Bryan
press Of Tennessee and adjoining Sta les.
The News published q long editorial II
which Bryan's chances for eiecuon were
glowlnglY pictured and 1t then pointed
OUT Tie many reforms that wound re-
suit IRON the success of the democratic
candidate at the November e.eeilu. 1t
was particularly severe in delounGing
National banks and concluded the Cd
torial with the declaration that -four
months after the inauguration OF Bryan
The doors OF every National bank in the
United States would be closed This
declaration of the News to the anti
Bryan papers was as u san on the bound
less deep is TO a shipwrecked sailor.
They anchored to it insranter. and with
it as a text lesrnedly and seriously eX-
horted Oh the hangers Of Organism aud
the disasters which would follow in the
wake of his election 10 the presidency.
Some Of the papers even went so lar as
to declare that the possibility of every
National bank in the United states clos
ing their doors four months after
Bryans election should be sufficient 70
arouse people TO the impending danger
and If necessary force should be invoked
to prevent the iniiiction. The News col
lected these expressions. gave them pub
licity in its own columns last Friday and
at the bottom appended the explanation
that If Bryan We're elected he would be
inaugurated on March A. Four months
after that would be July 4, on which
date every National bank in the country
had been closing their doors for years
and thai none OF the disasters pictured
by the anti Bryan press had resulted.
The papers which were victimlzed by
the artistic ruse of the News have not
begun explaining yet. They probably
never will, In the henceforth. however,

THEIR INsoLENr CRITICISM.

The New York Tribune is easily one of
the most disreputable and conscieuceloss
OF the more pretentious class OF repuo-
lican papers The republican vice presi-
Dental candidate having indulged In some
scurrilous abuse OF the democrats the
Tribune. OF course. picks UP the cue and
attempts to say something equally Of
fensive.
In a recent editorial comment the Trib-
rne places all the supporters OF Mr.. Bryan
In three classes. as follows:
There are three classes united for Mr..
Bryan. and they make up large total Of
voters. First come the literally ignorant
men who can not read or write. nut are
agin the government because they don't
know exactly what It's all about yet are
excited BY loud talk of free" things that go
with Mr. Bryan next Rre the r,ore ignorant
men who have smattering OF knowledge,
derived from socialistic. populstic. auarrhis-
Ito and sensational literature generally; and.
last, the most hopelessly ignorant--men of
education who have never learned the things
they most need 10 know. These three kinds
OF ignorant men do not make up one-haf
me voting population. Sut II enough Of thu
majority stay at home. Mr.. Bryan will be
elected.
Roosevelt put the democracy down as
dishonest and cowardly.
The Tribune adds to this characterize
tion the qualities of dense ignoranes and
communlstic tendencies.
AZ result the democratic millions IN
America are regarded BY Theodore Roose
volt and Whitelaw Reii as ignorant. dis
honest. cowardly anarchists. These are
not supposed by Rcid to quite constitute
majority OF the voting population of the
United States. but they may carry the
country II all the "respectapiss element,
do net votel
Is II possible that rot like this can b.
honestly believed to influence any con.
siderable number OF men in America who
are able to read It? Is this the kind o.

NOTHING THE MATTER WITH
TEIkG

TEXAS.
MIR. Edward H. Il. Green is wasting time
and printers ink and good white paper in
appealing as he does. incidentally. In his
call for the republican State convention,
TO citizens OF the State 10 swell the local
republican ranks and secure republican
victory In Texas IN order to induce cap
ital and population 90 come here from
other states.
II there was ever time when such
an argument might have had any weight
that day has passed. Texas Is growing
now at most satisfactory rate aud at
last home capital is beginning to see and
utilize It's opportunities. We need more
people because we have millions OF acres
OF unoccupled or uncultivated land and
we would like to see Industrial estab-
lishments multiplying moro rapidly, but
the demand Is not so pressing that we
need to turn the democracy out OF con-
troll OF the State 10 meet It.
We do not flnd that South Carolina
has failed to develop in most phenome-
nal manner because Of It's democratic
State covert ment. The magic progress Of
the South in the past ten years has not
reqrired the stimulus OF republican con-
troll. We have been backward, slow to
utilize our chances here in Texas. but 1t
was because We have been so comfortable
ms a State without any remarkable exer-
ton
We have not been stagnant. however.
This years assessment will show a total
valuation OF nearly 5000 900. 900 which rep
resents an addition by easy stages and
unstimulated natural growth OF about
$500, 1000 to our taxable wealth In the
past ten years. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that our population will be shown
to be a million greater than in 1890. Our
industrial plants have probably been
doubled in the same time. and our rail-
road extensions are keeping up with the
best records in the other States. All this
has been accomplished under democratic
government at homo and without effort.
| virtually, on our part.
But 1t would. aside from all this be
matter OF gross injustice 10 the demo-
cratic party o. Texas to attempt TO sup
plant II for Commercial reasons" IL
there were any weight or timeliness in
the proposition. We have for years en-
joyed government here that has been
free from scandals. No rottenness nor
corruption has been charged against our
State administrations. Legislation has
not been oppressive. Taxation has been
kept below the figures that prevail in
four-ffths OF the States OF the Union
| Wa NAVSAhSoJhhiy anu ouuCdllOudl luSll-
tutions have been improved Public funds
have been wisely and economically ham
died and political opinion and action
have been as free as anywhere on the
globe.
This is record to be proud Of, and
Mn Green will be truthfully and prop
erly told that 1t would be an insult ia
democratic sentiment In Texas to ask for
condemnation rather than approval o,
such an administration of affairs in this
State. And II Texas wants to grow faster
her citizens can easily push her forward
without any sacrifice OF their political
convictions. Mr.. Green will have 10
prOselyte along other lines than the on,
suggested.
