like that of most Americans, would be

which they were engaged against an

cause was just, that the Beers were in
the wrong, and that their defeat and the

result as righteous as it was inevitable.
Holding these opinions, MIR. Davis spent
a long time with the British army, hear
Ing the British case, and intently watch
ing the British operations. Then in
order to secure a complete story of
the war for the American public, he
crossed over to Pretoria and Joined the
Boer forces in the field as they sought
to resist the overwhelming advance of
Lord Roberts's enormous army. Mr..
Davis remained with the Boere until
Pretoria was about to fall. Then with
the other correspondents and the foreign
attaches, he left the country.
Mr.. Davis tells, in the October number
of Scribner's Magazine, under the title,
"The Last Days of Pretoria" the story
of the waning war and the impressions
which it had left upon his American
consciousness. Some of his words are
very severe. Having seen both sides at
close range, Mr.. Davis condemns the
British for ian unjust war, waged
without tolerance and without intel
ligence." He tells his kinsmen that
theirs was "an ignoble cause" "When
Lord Roberts and his army fling out the
black flag and go forth under it on a
Jameson raid, when they murder old
meG and young boys because they fight
for their homes, the best that they can
ask of every one is silence as to their
deeds, and that their triumph may be
crowned with oblivion" And he says
of the gallant Beers, beaten, but not
disgraced
"They are the last of the crusaders.
They rode out to fight for cause as old
as the days of Pharaoh and the children
of Israel, against an enemy ten times as
mighty as was Washington's in his war
for independence. AS / see it, it has
been Holy War, this war of the burgher
crusader, and his motives are as fine as
any that ever called a "minute man"
from his farm or sent Knight of the
Cross to die for it in Palestine"
These words were written more in
sorrow than in anger, and in Just that
way will the American people read them.
Mr. Richard Harding Davis's verdict is
also the verdict of the immense majority
of his fellOw-countrymen. There is
keen regret here in America at the iron
necessity which compels the eiftcement
of the two little South African republics,
and there is au Intense belief that Great
Britain is doing a thing which she will
repent of in the days that are to come.
This is the feeling of people who have
no quarrel with Great Britain, no dis
like for her, but frank sympathy with
her when she stands, as she often does
stand, for good causes for progress,
enlightenment, humanity.
And what must be the feeling of
other nations when this is the judg-
ment of the only sincere friend that
Great Britain has among all the powers

IMPeRlALlsM's GREATEST INJURY.

IMPERIALISM S GREA EST INJURY.
The most serious objection to that rad
zeal departure from Republican princi-
pies and from democratic government
which is with perfect accuracy called
imperialism lies in its effect upon us
upon the people of the United States.
Its worst effects are seen at home:
First. In fostering the military spirit.
Already the army has been increased
four times in size and its prospective
cost multiplied by seven.
Second. In diverting attention from
evils and perls at home that demand the
best thought of our statesmen and the
calmest delberation of the people,
In view of the race troubles at the
South which are multiplying a plain pro-
visions of the CONSTITUTIONAL view of
the growing power of plutocracy in poll
tics and in governmental view of the
widespread domination of trusts and
monopOles in business-is it no. as
founding that Mr.. Mckinley could have
said, when entering upon his policy of
Asiatic adventure. that "we have no
home problems TO distress us:'
Third. In habituating our politicians
and even the people to disregard of the
Constitution and to acquiesce without
protest III the substitution of one man
rule-ls IN Cuba, in Porto Rico and the
Philipplnes-for the rule of law.
Forth. In the enormous increase of
the cost of government. Today, more
than two Years after the close OF the war
with Spain, the people are still paying
Sl00,0OO,000 annually in undated war
taxes.
Fidelity to the Fundamental principles
of our government requires that we
shall abandon the fatal dreams of an en-
pire in the East. Justice to the FilipinOs
dictates that we shall recognize and pro-
tect their right to govern themselves.
But even more imperative is the demand
that for its own highest good this nation
must be saved from that virus of imper-
ialism which DESTROYED the great re-
publcs of the past.-New York World.
