A LOGICAL SYMPATHY.

The Boer ENJOYS are no doubt disap-
pointed at the reception accorded them by
official Washington. Yet it is nothing
short of what they should have been pre-
pared for. even In advance of their
coming.
The Boer republics must have been as
sured. as we'll from the expressions OF
American newspapers as from concurrent
event, that this government would not
press upon Great Britain tender OF
mediation in the absence OF invitation 10
do so on the part OF official London.
But while the government will not give
the Boer commissioners official reeogni-
ton, or, after doing So Will decline to
interfere in their countrys quarrel with
Great Britain, it must be quite clear TO
them that by far the vast majority of
Americans sympathlze with the Boer re-
publics.
It would be dlscreditablo to American
