Recent Boer Activity

Late reports from the seat of war in At
RIGA disclose renewed activity on the part
Of the Beers, who are now assuming the Of
fen5ive and moving toward Lord Roberts
lines Of communication The British COM
mander has been comparatively idle since
his capture Of the Free State capital Some
of his forces have been engaged against the
Beers to the south of BIoemfontein. while
others seem to have had but poor success In
skirmishing north of the city. The south
ern project failed in that the retreating
Beers were not intercepted and captured.

fruitful at least of the result of sweepine

British has been held back is not altogether

found necessary to accumulate a larger

which an advance to the north. despite the
presence of the railroad, would be hazard

astute a strategist as Roberts and so care

paigner as Kitchener would not uselessly

has been suggested that one reason for the
British Inactivity was to allow the Beers
again to concentrate in order that a deci-
slve battle might be permitted in the hope
that a blow thus delivered would be more
effective toward stopping the war than a.
series Of running engagements across coun-
try.
Such a theory is Of course acceptable only
on the assumption that Lord Roberts is
confident of in6icting crushing defeat. He
assuredly has within effective range an
army far larger than that which the Beers
now seem to have concentrated north Of

Healing by Music,

One Of the most pronounced results of the
discovery of the Roentgen rays has been to
give great boom to the vibration theory
and force its application to practically all
branches Of science and even to matters of
profound metaphysical research. For in
stance the once languidly advocated doc
trine of the vibratory nature of thought
which is believed by some to explain many
otherwise mysterious mental phenomena,
has now achieved decided dignity of rea-
sonableness. Measurements are being made
as to the wave-lengths of various infinitesi-
NAL vibrations and ether waves. heat waves,
music waves, light waves and all sorts of
pulsations from the veriest ripple of in
finity up to tidal waves are being examined
in the hope that the secret Of existence will
be learned through them.
Just how far the vibration theory will
carry the Investigators is to be disclosed
by events. 1t has already conducted some
of them pretty far along toward pure hy-
pothests. There is even a course Of inquiry
into the wave lengths Of mental exertions.

Justice for Mr.. Macrum.

In some quarters the names of Mr.. Ma
cruTn and Mr.. Davis are bracketed in the
discussion of South African matters. This
shows hasty reading of the two cases.
Besides. il is unjust to Mr.. Macrum.
The record shows that there was nothing
the matter with Mr. Macrum but panic.
The war came. and swept him off his feet.
He had counted on purely business service
to his government in time of peace, and he
was rendering that fairly well when the
air darkened and war broke out. Then he
thought of far-away Ohio and the good
people there, and he wanted to come home.
OF course he could not afford to put it in
that bald way to the State Department. SO
he intimated that important business de-
manded his presence at home He came-a
little Gained down, but stin pale around
the gills. and unfortunately fell into the
hands of some enemies of the administra-
ton. who exploited him for their own pur-
poses, but TO his own complete confusion.
Such is the Macrum case. 1t showed at the
worst but the want Of self-conhdence in an
obscure and inexperienced young man.
Mr.. Davis, on the other hand, went to
South Africa for no other reason than be-
cause a war was IN progress there. OF
course he journeyed as private Individual.
and in order to get much-needed rest af-
ter long and fatiguing stamping tour here
at home. and all that. But he is a swift re-
coverer. and normally a robust individual,
and by the time he reached Cape Town he
was well set up, and ready for a thorough
tour of inspection of the whole situation

balance. and reached conclusion. He car
Red an abundant stock of self-confidence
with him. and he has returned with even a
la- hot ir-

to the Boer cause, and that is his present
mission.
Mr.. Macrum drops out. There is nothing
of value in the situation for him. An OBJ
ject of some interest for a day, he is now
only an object of pity But Mr.. Davis day,
as he believes. has just dawned- If there is
not something substantial in the situation
for him. in the way at least of lecture fees.

An Impudent Intrusion.

Whenever congressional committee has
granted a hearing on any proposition to re-
lieve the people of the District from the
burden of excessive telephone rates through
the chartering of a rival company willing to
furnish the service for reasonable prices,
arguments have always been heard from
sources more or less Intimately traceable
to the Chesapeake and Potomac Company
to the effect that it is impossible for any
company to supply a satisfactory service
for the reduced rates. This. for instance,
was the case yesterday, when the Senate
District committee listened to statements
on both sides of the case, the bill recently
passed by the House chartering the Wash
ington Telephone Company being under
consideration.
1t is to be hoped that the committee or
the Senate will not allow itself to be blinded
by such arguments and the statistics ad-
vanced in their support. They have no
place in the discussion. The proposition is
plain, The people of Washington demand
relief from a burdensome monopoly. Here
comes a company willing, eager, to afford
relief by supplying satisfactory service for
low rates. The bill as 1t stands exacts a
bond of 100000 for the faithful perform
ance of the contract. 1t is otherwise
guarded to ensure, as far as possible in ad-
vance. the institution Of a plant and the
maintenance of modern service calculated
to satisfy the reasonable demands of the
people.
1t is of course most charitable on the part
of the established company to warn Con-
gress and incidentally the aspirant for
charter rights that the schedule of rates is
suicidal, that the service can not be given
for the sums named and that the bill in its
present terms is opposed to experience.
But it Is difficult to see where the old COM
pany comes into the equation. 1t has no
vested right as a monopoly. Its rights,
such as they are, have been of late serious
ly questioned. 1t has no prerogative to per-
NIT it to dictate between the people and
Congress. Indeed 1t is only by a stretch of
courtesy that it is allowed a hearing in a
matter of this kind.
The case involves merely consideration,
first, of the demand of the people for relief,
which Congress has already undertaken to
afford; second, of the means of granting
that relief The existing company has elm
mated itself from the case by preventing a
fruition of the initial efforts of Congress in
this line. 1t should not be allowed to block
good faith of the applicant for charter, or
the good faith of the House and the Senate.
If the prescribed rates are too low for profit
it will not suffer. but the loss will fall upon
those who are now applying for permission
to give the people of the District what they
want

The Assault on the Prince.

We may see. however. in the act of the
young fool and mailman who thought that
by taking the life of the heir apparent TO
the English throne he would be serving the
Beer cause. one of the revolving effects of
the hypocritical crusade for liberty which
few professional agitators by pen or word
of mouth are conducting in Europe at the
present time. They are playing upon the
basest passions OF the people. They are
disappearing the whole Transvaal con-
troversy. They are influencing only the
lghtheaded and the desperate But in doing
that they are making themselves RESPONSE
Bile for the acts of such creatures. This
sapheaded apprentice. with murder in his
heart and a cheap pistol in his hand, was
but the agent of some Belgian demagogue
who had been bloriating in the barrooms of
Brussels. and drawing pay probably from
some Boer secret service fund.
This is atrocious work, wherever and by
whomsoever INDUCED in. The Boer cause
gains nothing by it, but loses. The fool who
killed Canovas simply made way for Sa-
gasta- The fool who killed Carnot simply
made way for Loubet-an ADLER, if not so
attractive. a man. Republicanism in France
lost nothing by the tragedy. The fool who
killed the Empress of Austria inflicted no
injury on royalty. The assassination of the
Prince of Wales would not change the Brit
ish policy in South Africa. On the contrary,
u would fix it the more firmly. Neverthe
less, blatherers. who for hire, or of their
own windy pleasure, are infanaing fools

against an entrenched foe. Thus far Lord
Roberts has not faced just such situation.
has engaged indeed in no pitched battle.
The operations around Kimberley were
characterized mainly by naneuvers which
threatened the Boer lines and there was no
decisive fight in which mass was thrown
against mass. The capture of Cronje was
the result of clever management, character
lied by the superior mobility of the British
forces. Nothing in the advance to B1oem-
fontein was suggestive of a battle. So the
new situation affords no chance for COM
parison with the achievements of the COM
mander-in-chief thus far in the campaign.
The loss of the convoy the other day, while
of course in a measure serious through the
capture of a rumber of guns, was but an
incident and may prove of value in teach
ing the British a lesson. The real test of
strength in the Free State is yet to come.
and present Indications suggest that 1t Is
near at hand.

AS was to be expected, and as The Star
predicted, the responses to the announce
ment of Admiral Dewey's candidacy for
the presidency are all discouraging. In all
sections there is surprise In many there
is regret. In not few there Is open ridi-
Guile. The people stand in mild wonder at
such a mistake from such a quarter. What
explains it? How did 1t come to pass that
a man secure in the admiration and af-
fections of his countrymen should have
Numbered in such way?
People will speculate about public men
and public affairs, and much of the specula-
ton about this man and this affair is ex-
ceedingly persuasive. 1t seems to be
agreed that this is not an anti-McKinley,
but An anti-Bryan move. There are certain
democrats who make loud professions of
devotion to free silver and to Mr.. Bryan,
but who really are against both John r.
Mclean figures at the head of this process
sion. There are other democrats who are
openly opposed to free silver and to Mr..
Bryan, and are almost frantic for an OPEN
ing to defeat both within the party. Mr..
German and Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Cleye-
land, who is closely allied with Mr. Whit
ney. stand well to the head of this process
Sion The two professions have united
their leaders have Joined hands and Ad-
miral Dewey presidential candidate is
the result.
The question, then. of Admiral Dewey
party is settled He is the candidate of the
miners and sappers party. The Germans
and the Whitneys are to tunnel from the
outside. and the McLeans are to touch off
the mine from inside the silver camp, and
blow Mr.. Bryan sky high. The scheme is a
fizzle. The trick cannot be turned.

One of the latest advances In vibratory

mental systems. from inharmonious nerves
and unadjusted fibres. 1t is asserted that
music, which is known to have a marked
effect upon the mind Of many hearers, will.
If properly produced. with a judicious
choice Of chords and melodies, restore bal
ance to the mind, nerves and fbres of the
body and thus produce health. The science
Is OF course in its infancy. Much ground is
yet to be covered. Many researches must
be made. At present nothing is palmer
than the fact that all music does not ap-
peal alike to all people. The world is still
divided into the rag-time and the Wag-
merriam schools, for instance. with many
gradations between these extremes.
When the mind-measuring machines have
made it possible for the investigator to ac-
curately schedule all the characteristics
and emotional percentages of every human
individual, then the music-cure may become
a success. For then, and then only, will it
be possible for the music healer to pre-
scribe the proper tone remedy without blum
dering upon selection which will irritate
the nerves even more than before Or
meanwhile perhaps the new school proposes
to attempt either to reduce all humanity to
either the rag-time or the Wagnerian basis
or to strike an average plane of moderate
music wherein all the race may enjoy the
blessings of health through vibration. The
prospect is at all events promising for a
lively enterprise.
