the question of the Australian federation
Delegates from this great colony are cease
lessly speaking to London audiences
through the luxurious medium of public
dinners and luncheons, to say nothing of
copious press interviews, but meanwhile
are fighting Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain tooth and nail in an endeavor to main
tain Australia's objection to having the
English privy council as final court of
appeals for local cases. No compromise
has yet been reached and Mr.. Chamberlain
will shortly introduce the subject of feder-
alton in the house of commons, advocating
that the bill be passed as forwarded to
Australia with the exception of an amend
ment granting the privy council the power
mentioned above.
Presumably the commoners will follow
the governments lead. What Australia
win do remains to be seen. The obligation
subordinating the highest colonial courts
to the privy council, under which Canada
now labors, may wreck the whole scheme
of federation.

THINKS WAR WILL END SOON
OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH
Are Playing Last Card When They
Call ON America--British Think
President Kruger VIII Ask for
Peace.

London, May l4.-The Beers seem to be
on the eve of playing their last card, and
according to many keen observers in Eng
land it is being played, not in South At
RIGA, but in the United States, through
the medium of the Boer delegates, who
sailed for New York from Rotterdam last
week. AS the bulk of British opinion does
not contemplate for moment that Mr..
Fischer and his companions will achieve
success, it is only natural that serious
thought is now confidently devoted to
prognosticating the date when the war in
the Transvaal will be ended Most esti-
mates concur in agreeing that hostilities
will have ceased by June, when President
Kruger learns that the last country APP
pealed to, namely, the United States, will
afford no help and that he has no alterna-
tive in the face of the overwhelming force
now VIGOROUSLY sweeping into his terri
tory but to sue for peace What Great
Britain's answer to that request will be
was Enthusiastically defined by Joseph
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the
colonies at Birmingham when he declared
that the Boer republics must become a
crown colony, whose initial stage of or
ganization will be controlled by military
administration. By agreeing to these
terms President Kruger must, of course,
give up all for which he has been fighting.
But on the other hand, now that terms
have been so emphatically enunciated,
they must either be granted or England
will stand defeated.
The latter alternative, however, does
not enter England's category of POSSIBLE
tiles. Her people are firmly convinced
that Lord Roberts will steadily advance,
perhaps with delays and losses of dare
devil units, and may be without inhicting
crushing defeat until he occupies the
Transvaal. His forward progress, they
believe will be stopped only when Presi-
dent Kruger, learning of the failure OF
Fischer's mission, asks for peace. That
this will come sooner than previously ex-
pected is the trend of popular opinion to-
day.
A long siege of Pretoria has become a
remote contingency. Sharp fighting at
Kroonstad and on the Vaal river, a Sc
ries of rear guard actions with constantly
retreating forces, an organized develop
ment of hostile country, and then by
June, or perhaps earlier, peace and occupa-
ton. Such is the average forecast of
the struggle in South Africa. Maybe it is
altogether too optimistic, but the present
successes of the British arms and the evil
dences of their well defined plans and ex-
cellent organization forms much excuse for
optimism,

Grand Forks Herald: Lieutenant
Hildreth, of Fargo, the democratic
candidate for congress-, is making a tour
of the state, and in his campaign
speeches he has a great deal to say
about the Philippine question. He
discusses the character of the Filipi-
nos, the nature of their country, and
the history of the outbreak of hostil-
tiles with the air of one thoroughly
conversant with his subject. Shortly
after his return from Manila he deliv-

to have made statements favorable to
the administration, and cOmmendatory
of it's course. In his speech in Grand
Forks on Saturday night, and doubt
less in other places, Mr.. Hildreth said
that his words on that occasion had
been distorted, and that he had been
credited with uttering sentiments
which he did not entertain. He states
that his opinion with reference to the
Philippine question have undergone no
change, and that he is now as he has
always been. opposed to the policy Of

ate on the fusion ticket is the same
person who, elected as a republican,

There is one week until election.
At that time the people of the country

litical party is to be in charge of the
political affairs of the nation. The

parties-republican and democratic.

of free silver, of Bryan, OF Altgeld, Of
Croker, of all the elements of opposi-
ton to the republican party. The is
sue are clear. The republican party
stands for good government, sound
money, the maintaining of the ma
tional honor and the widest opportun-
ity for the American citizen. The
