GEN. RULLER REDEEMED.

THE world has been taught to believe
that the third time is the charm" and
that it is 'three times and out but Gen-
eral Butler in scoring a success upon MS
fourth attempt to relieve Ladysmitn
gives a new Interpretation to the III
time adage. The sturdy hero was three
times driven back by the determined Bo-
ers, and had called DOWN upon his head
the censure of his countrymen and the
ridicule of the world. He attempted to
accomplish through the magnificent
courage Of his soldiers that which STRAIT
egy and tact could alone make possible.
The hopeless energy expended in the
fruitless fighting upon the Tugela placed
Great Britain's interests in possible jeop-
ardy, for the latent enmities of jealous
powers began to come to the surface like
pus-pits on the epidermis of the pest
house patient, and the ominous rumble
of an aftermath Of active hatred could
be heard in the highways and byways of
continental Europe.
With the arrival of Lord Roberts STRAIT
egic plans were arranged for the inva-
sion of the territory held by the Beers.
Cronje was led to believe that the relief
of Kimberley contemplated the control OF
railway facilities into the interior of the
Transvaal, and the courageous burgher
never dreamed of the sid play that
would lead to the capture of the flower
of Kruger's army and the surrender of
its chief. The movements made by Rob-
erts, however, made possible the fourth
effort on the part of Butler to relieve
Ladysmith and rescue the 5000 British
soldiers who had been cooped up in that
stronghold for months.
AT the outset it was understood through
photographic messages that Ladysmith
could hold out no longer than November
yet, with a persistency that would have
done credit to Troy when besieged by thu
Greeks, the town held out against thu
Beers for three months more, and wa.
finally rewarded by the advent of relief
In accomplishing the purpose original,
in mind, when he first crossed the Tu
gela and was driven back by the Beers
after three decisive failures, Genera
Butler a redeemed himself as a mill
tary man before the world. He ha!
shown much of the persistency of pur
pose which made General Grant the lido
of his country in the dark days of TN
civil war in America.
The relief of Ladysmith was one of tn
duly accepted issues of the war, and tn
success of the British soldiery portend
the speedy defeat Of the Beers. "On t
Pretoria" will doubtless be the slogan Q
the queenis command, when the surren
der of Kruger will mark the closin
chapters of the war.
