BULLERs THIRD EFFORT.

Buffers gallant army is at it again
tooth and nail in final supreme effort
to reinforce beleagured Ladysmith.
The news given out by the London
war Office is meager. which does not
augur we'll for Buffers progress, al
though he is reported to have made
considerable advance. First reports,
however, have proven misleading.
While the news from Boer headquar-
tiers admits the Beers were forced
back, the subsequent defeat of Bull
Ter is claimed, and it is said the Brit
ish were driven back across the Tu-
gela.
Surely there is variety enough in
these reports to suit any taste.
1t is to be remembered that this eff
fort of Buffers was to be the final
cast of the die and If he failed the
Ladysmith campaign was to be aban-
doned and the gallant garrison OF
Gen. White left to their fate. Butler,
however, seems to have a penchant
for grandiloquent talk and portentous
promise. He began with the boast that
he would eat his Christmas dinner in
Pretoria and each of his battles since
then has been heralded as the real
crucial test. 1t certainly speaks well
for his recuperative powers to be able
to come up smiling so often after ov-
erwhelming defeat, but it is not like
ly that he will survive third time.
He probably spoke the solemn truth
when he gave it out that If his third
effort failed it meant the end Of the
present line of campaign.
And in this event all eyes will turn
to Roberts and Kitchener. Will their
brilliant military regulations also find
a last resting place in the South At
rican graveyard?

BRITAIN'S LESSON IN WAR.

If England had the Boer war to
fight over again she probably would
not fight it, but if she did her army
would adopt very different tactics. 1t
may gall Britain's proud soldiers to
admit it but 1T is a fact, the British
have learned much from the sturdy
Dutch military tacticians of the Trans
vaal.
A dispatch states that the English
fully recognize now the value of caval-
ry. The British scouts, the mounted
infantry, Remington's guides and Lit
ties corps of Australian and New
Zealand horse, it is gladly proclaimed,
ARE quite able now to cope with the
Beers" And, equally significant, it is
added that "our infantry, when NOV
ing into action, now instinctively seek
cover"
1t may even be that after a while
British officers will abandon their
foolhardy fad Of standing out on the
firing line as brilliant targets for
Boer sharpshooters.

TEDDY WONT DO.

There was a time when the Hon.
Teddy Roosevelt gave evidence of hav-
ing in his make up the elements of
sturdy honesty, integrity and indie
pendence If not of true craftsmanship.
That was before he achieved his pres
emit eminenoe through the military gla-
mour surrounding him Immediately af-
ter the Spanish war. And 1t really did
look as if this lover of the strenuous
life" was presidential size. Indeed, the
second term syndicate were at one time
alarmed lest he outrun Mr.. Mckinley
in the race, and schemes were Matched
in the war Office and partially carried
out to secretly discredit the New
Yorker. But the second term combine
no longer entertains such fears. Evil
IDENTITY the Mckinley leaders who fear
ed Teddy were quick to estimate his
real stature after he had strutted
awhile in the lime light of high Office
and to appreciate the fact that he falls
CAOlL VI pIOSluCpl1ebl o1LC. 10y
the young man plenty of rope and let
ting him alone they have acted wisely
and Teddy is no longer feared as
presidential and hardly considered even
as vice presidential material His acts
as Governor of New York and his ex-
presSions outside that Office on mat
tiers of current politics have proven
him to be a small politician and mar
row visioned partisan. 1t was the sim
cere hope and belief of his friends in
New York that he would defy Platt and
ultimately uproot the power of that OBJ
noxious boss" But there never was
an executive or any other official IN
the State of New York more humbsy
subservient to Boss Platt than Roose-
welt has been, nor any more absolutely
a machine official. He is in all the
scandals bequeathed by his predecessors
and there is no such word as reform IN
his lexicon.
Teddy's latest exhibition of profound
partisan asininity is contained In the
following public utterance on the KEN
lucky situation:
Mr. Taylor is Governor by every pris-
ciple of law and equity, and he and his fol-
lowers must, of course resist to the lat
extremity the reckless and INSCRIPTIONS
conspirators who are endeavoring to do
by violence after election what they failed
to accomplish by the most scandalous
frauds prior to and during the election"
No wonder Mr. Mckinley no longer
fears as a rival the man who could be
guilty of such an utterance.

AS TO THE ''OPEN DOORv IN CHINA.
Chinese craftsmanship is not as
simple and chilldlike as the world In
general seems to regard it. Indeed
1t is Of a very high order and what
Chinese statesmen did not know be-
fore Of modern methods they have
been quick to pick up through their
national characteristic of initiative
ness. In recent speech at a CONNER
cial gathering in New York city, WI
Ting Fang, the Chinese ambassador,
showed his clear knowledge of econ
omics and international trade rela-
tons. In discussing the open door"
question he made these eminently
just and sensible observations:
1T Is scarcely fair to expect an open
door In trade with China when you your
self have shut the doors against China and
the Chinese. By that l do not mean that
I anticipate any retaliatory measures, bat
L greatly fear that in the near future, ua-
less you moderate your ideas and give to
Cinnamon the same rights as people from
other nations, there will be a boycott IN
China against all American goods
Go on he added, with a touch of
sarcasm, "in your patriotic but selfish
way, but be sure to go fairly"
This is in line with the remarks of
DR.. Clark Gapen at the university
town of Madison. Wis, on this SUBJ
ject in connection with an American
imperial colonial system. DR.. Gapen
said:
