THE END IN SOUTH AFRIcA.

Whatever be the exact truth as 70 the
surrender of johannesburg and Pretoria.
it IS quite apparent that the war In
South Africa has reached the final stage
1t is difficult to believe that, valiant 70
the point of heroism, as the Boer soldierp
have shown themselves. they will feel
at liberty to prolong hostilities. They
have offered a resistance to the over
whelming power of the British empire
perhaps without parallel in all the an
nails of warfare
Snch race as these men have shown
themselves to be are worthy Of the high
est measure of national liberty. Let us
take the largest account we may Of their
defects; let us accept all that has been
put forward in the press of the world
to their disadvantage, and the truth sin
remains that within the past few months
they have awakened the most glorious
traditions identified with the struggle for
human liberty. They have proven them
selves the most soldierly and valorous
race Of their age, and have entitled
themselves to the admiration of the
world
1t is little less than sheer murder to
prolong this unequal struggle. The guer-
riila warfare which the men of the
Orange Free State and the Transvaal
viii maintain, if they do maintain such A
warfare, will result IN continuous loss OF
life, and cannot avert the inevitable re-
suit of Lord Roberts victories.
The world has stood by inactive while
two of its republics were being forcibly
dismembered. No word of protest was
spoken and no effort made to dissuade
the craftsmanship of Britain from the
fuif'llment of its avowed purpose, These
young nations will pass into the histori-
cal limbo Of forgotten republics, and we
may not expect even that history will

Do NOT WANT IT.

The action of the committee on priv1-
leges and elections of the senate in re-
porting adversely, as it did on Tuesday
last, the house bill providing for the
election of senators by the people will
probably be concurred in by the senate
itself. For many years this policy of
delay and defeat has been in progress
between the two houses on this and other
measures. Senators have never shown a
disposition to treat fairly the proposal
to submit their seats to the popular
choice. The present method appears to
be quite satisfactory, and doubtless is
so to the great majority of them. 1t
could hardly be less satisfactory to the
country 1t could hardly be productive
of more enduring scandal, or have been
better designated to save the members
of the senate from all official account
ability.
The scandals which have arisen during
the past few years seem to have left
deep impression In every other direction
save on the membership of the senate
itself Hanna is the leading figure in the
senate today, if not the leading figure in
the entire country. Yet he notoriously
holds his place in that body as the di-
rect result of bribery and corruption.
Clark tried to purchase his seat so that
his title might be undisputed, but he
failed. Quay allowed himself to be de-
luded by the conviction that nothing
could disturb his hold on the office. But
in the latter two cases it has been dem
onstrated that, despite ali that senators
lie sentiment will find expression against
the prevailing nOnsensical and corrup-
tion-breeding method of choosing mem
bers of the smaller branch of the nation
al legislature
The agitation for the needed constitu-
tional amendment must go on. 1t will
before long result in victory. Every
senator chosen under the present system
must be made to declare himself in favor
of choice by popular election. This can
readily be done. The Democratic party
is committed fully to securing this re-
form. Democrats in congress and out
must go on advocating the popular meth
cd of choosing senators. There is no
reason to believe that congress will ever
provide for the needed change until it
is forced to do so by stress of public
opinion. All that has been said or done
thus far has been evidently without avail,
because it has not been backed by suffi-
cient show of determination on the part
of the press and the party political con-
ventions, With the platforms Of the
Democracy in the several states commit
ted to the principle of the choice of sen
ators by the popular method, and the
return to the senate, wherever possible
to be secured, of men who are in favor of
the popular plan, it will not be long be-
fore the senate is prepared to pass the
necessary legislation, no matter what re-
port may be presented to it by its COM
mittee on the subject.

The movement set on foot by the New
York Journal against the New York ice
trust has thus far been attended by high
measure of success. Every movement
made by the counsel for the journal has
been successful. and ali the facts relative
to the formation of the trust and s op-
erations are now being brought cut be-
fore a referee chosen by the court.
There are trusts in operation which are
quite as bad as the ice trust. no doubt;
but it is doubtful whether meaner or
more sordid instance of the realization
of eXorbitant profits through the extor-
ton practiced on the very poor IL one of
the most indispensable articles of daily
consumption has ever been made known.
There is very strenuous effort being
made to transform the exposure of the
connection of oe tain pso rinent New YORK
politicians with the trust into an alleged
political persecution. The effort will fail.
Any public official of New York caught
with any of the stock of this concern
among his possessions. III view of its re-
lation to the tenement population of the
big city, and in view of the attitude
borne publicly toward the trust by the
leading officials Of the city, merits, on
the face of the transaction, to be per
manently retired to private life.
The public ethics which contemplate
the devoted support of the poorer classes
of society as the first essential to sue
cess in the acquisition of office, and will
deliberately extend official commendation
to an agency practieing extortton of the
most criminal kind upon these same poor
people, and willingly reap peeuniary ad-
vantage of such extortion, is as debasad
as can well be conceived of. 1t viii be

CAN TALK ONE MINUTE.
Hello Company Announces a Reduc-
ton In Rates.


tiOn In Rates.
The Northwestern Telephone Exchange
company yesterday announced a new
schedule of long distance rates from the
Twin Cities to various stations in Min
nesota, North Dakota and South Dakota,
the new rates being based on minute con-
Versations. The officials of the company
found that large number of messages
went through in one and two minutes
and some time ago, as an exneriment
put In effect minute rates from the Twin
Cities to Fargo and other stations north
of Fargo. The new rates have proved
popular, and for some weeks past the
company has been arranging to extend
the rates to all stations reached on its
lines. The new rates apply to over 600
stations in the Northwest.
Rates under minute service are so ar
ranged that the charge for three-minuta
talk will be about the same as the old
three-minute rate, 50 that if the sub
scriber talks one minute he will only pay
for one minute, whereas, If he talks for
three minutes, the charge will be no
more than under the old rate. The min
ute rates apply outside of a radius of
thirty miles, while within the thirty-mlIa
radius the three-minute rates have been
reduced from % cents to Is cents Adj
ditional circuits are being built in vari
Gus directions to accommodate the bust
ness. A message of $50 words can easily
be transmitted within one minute by tele-
phone, and it is expected that the intro
duction of the new rates will induce
large amount of new business from peO-
pie who wish to place orders or transact
all routine business by telephone. New
minute rates from the Twin Cities are
as follows:
Faribault, Red Wing, Mortified one
minute, Is cents, cents for each addi-
tionaI minute; Mankato, st. Cloud, Owa-
tonna, Waseca, one minute, 10 cents, ID
cents each additional minute; Roches-
ter, New Ulm, Is cents per minute; Aus
tin Winona, WilImar, Brainerd, Albert
Lea, 20 cents per minute; Sioux Falls,
40 cents per minute.

QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
Joseph Bynam Raised 1t With His
Pistol.

Joseph Bynam, living on the West side,
was a prisoner in the police court yes
terday, on complaint of the city rail-
way officials, who allege that Bynam
fired several revolver shots at a Still
water car Wednesday evening. Bynam
claims he got off the car to get his hat,
which had fallen out of the window, and
that the car started off without him. To
attract the conductors attention, he says,
he fired off his revolver in the air. He
came back to the city on the same car
later and was locked up.
Bynam secured a continuance on the
ground that if he committed any offense
inasmuch as 1t was outside of Ramsey
county, the local court has no jurisdIc-
ton.
